Hollywood Grapevine

"In the TV business, changing the way you look can have dire consequences. Which is why producers put clauses in contracts requiring stars to maintain everything from their weight to their do. But when Roswell’s Katherine Heigl cut her blond hair and dyed it brown, it shouldn’t have been a problem: WB had already cancelled her series. Then UPN picked it up. Oops.

So, Heigl will be on a new network sporting a very new look. A dramatically different Heigl will also be on display in NBC’s upcoming movie Ground Zero. 'I get to play an adult,' she says, about her role as a brainiac college student."
