I don't think it's Katherine Heigl since she has been on more magazine covers than I can count these days. My first guess was Heigl's co-star Patrick Dempsey. He is known to be a diva, and think about. How many covers has he been on lately? Not much considering he has a great hit from Enchanted, Grey's, and he should be start doing promotion for his new movie. The only new magazine cover he has done is for a bicycle magazine.

I just don't think it's Heigl. I hear nothing, but praise from her photoshoots since Heigl really adores dressing up and posing.

I would have to agree with the poster above. It's not Heigl plus the mag editiors tend to spin her uncensored quotes to get headlines and make money. To me the shoe doesn't fit. She has had a ton a ton of covers from three different versions of InStyle to Vanity Fair to Cosmo, and etc. Heigl loves the camera.

I think it's someone else. Dempsey is actually a good point.

The only other person I could think of was Jessica Alba, for some reason I thought this was a female. I've heard the Dempsey rumors but...

Jessica Alba...hmmm...never thought of that one. For someone who had a movie come out recently she really didn't hit the stands in magazine covers this time did she. Good guess there Nicole...

Why can't it be Heigl? She hasn't been on that many mags., all of them related to the opening of that movie, plus those things are planned months and months ahead.

Besides the blurb clearly said, which TV/big screen star. Jessica is a big screen star, lord knows why, she hasn't done TV in years. And it said "refuses to work with her," it can't be Patrick, ya know since he's a guy and all.

I say its Heigl. Unfortunately she's riding the popular wave right now. She's starting to believe her own press, poor thing.

A lot of the magazines Heigl has done have been planned in advance, but others have not. In fact, her Cosmo magazine was barely done right before her wedding.

The blurp doesn't say it's a male or female either. It clearly said "star". People automatically assume it's a woman because stereotypically it's the "females' that cause trouble. Which is not so. You'll be surprised at how many males are divas in Hollywood. I still think it's Dempsey because he hasn't been anywhere on US Magazine covers since August or Sept. He had the movie Enchanted I think he only made one cover where it actually had a photoshoot in it. Think about he really isn't anywhere, and he never socializes with rest of his castmembers.

I say it's Dempsey. He fits the bill more than Alba. He's a tv and movie star. He barely hit newstands with his Enchanted promotion, and he isn't shown in any new photoshoots. I think it's Dempsey who is riding his own ego which is what has happened consistently since the 1980s. The man is no McDreamy.

Uh...you do have a great point about Dempsey, but sadly the blurb says "her", but I don't think it's Heigl either. There are plenty of tv and movie stars....ever thought of Eva Longoria....she had a new movie come out and she barely hit newstands. She had like what 2 covers. Or how about Rachal Bilson with Jumper.

I just don't buy it's Heigl. She has had so many photoshoots, and constantly does interview with magazines non-stop. She is a non-stop promote train. For her movie, wedding, and etc. I agree with another poster above mag editors use Heigl's uncensored quotes and spin them to get headlines to get cash. Which is why the media loves to get a quote from her. She's this year and last year's It Girl, so why exactly would mag editors and stylist not work with her. They in fact need her. From what I know Heigl has a good rep with them *shrugs*.

I think it's someone else because things just don't fit *shrugs*.

Given the fact that both of these women had big movies last month, each had relatively few covers. I figured Katherine is not big enough to garner major fashion magazines covers so close together, but Jessica Alba did surprise me. January and February magazine covers are usually held for musicians and major film stars given that they are in the thick of award season. I don't think it's a male because there are so few options for men, Men's Vogue, GQ, and Men's Fitness (that one doesn't really require a lot of styling). The tabloids generally use paparazzi photos for their covers.
Honestly it could go either way. Katherine is probably on her best behaviour since the Vanity Fair interview, but she might have burnt those bridges prior to that P.R. nightmare.

I don't see her burning that much bridges with Vanity Fair since it honestly hasn't hurt her success. She still had a successful romantic comedy come out with 27 Dresses, and she was known to be one of the reasons it did so well. Not to mention due to Heigl Vanity Fair finally made some headlines, and Heigl is also a presenter at the Oscars.

I just don't remember seeing Alba on my stores newstands this much. I remember seeing a ton of Heigl though. The Eye was a medicore hit since within two weeks it hit number 10 on the box office. Whereas Heigl's movie said in the top ten since the movie's release date. Heigl did OK Magazine and Cosmo after Vanity Fair.

I'm one of the many here that think it's not Heigl either. Heigl has been on a lot of covers since Sept. due to her Emmy success to her wedding to her recent movie. She's been everywhere.

My first guess was actually Eva Longoria. She was on the talk show circut a lot for her movie, but she was barely seen on newsstand in promoting her films. Or Rachal Bilson is a good guess, but who's to say the blurb isn't referring an ex-tv actress. Who knows, but given how much the magazines love to use Heigl's quotes, how much Heigl loves to pose and do all the glamour, and etc. I don't think it's Heigl, and given Heigl's constant success I don't think Vanity Fair hurt her that much since VF took her out of context.

Nicola,  February 18, 2008 12:50 AM  

Sorry, let me clarify. I meant Katherine might of burnt her bridges prior to the Vanity Fair shoot. Most covers are shot months in advance. Her rep was pretty good until that article came out, and suddenly she was the ungrateful one (hence no Golden Globe nomination for her role in what was one of the biggest comedies last year). Possibly she was giving attitude, but we didn't hear about it -that's why she failed to get repeats. When it comes to the paparazzi, she's a doll, but I think it's because she's ambitious.

Jessica Alba has a horrible rep onset. I've heard stuff about her on junkets but never during magazine shoots...

I honestly don't think any acting or anything from Knocked Up was going to get nominated. I loved the movie, but it definitely wasn't Golden Globe or Oscar worthy. Juno was going to be the preggers comedy movie due to the independent movie style and etc. There was no way Knocked Up was going to be nominated for anything. They rarely ever nominated Apatow's work for anything *shrugs*.

Regardless, Heigl still had the only Grey's Anatomy nomination at the Golden Globes. I really don't think Heigl gave an attitude because on Vanity Fair's website they had Heigl's photoshoot. She was laughing and having fun. It was long footage as well from all of her photographs.

Normally, magazines that have trouble with celebs actually point-blank note they do have trouble with them to get sales. Vanity Fair didn't do that. In fact, they used Heigl's out of context lines to get hits. And it worked in their favor. I guess I'm one of the few that is pro-Heigl since I agree with what she said about Knocked Up, and that Vanity Fair once again put a celeb out of context. I remember when they did it to Jennifer Aniston about Brad Pitt.

I agree with you that is Heigl is ambitious, but I'm glad she is. For some reason if a woman is ambitious it is look down upon *shrugs*. I just never heard anything bad about Heigl on shoots, sets, and etc. I have heard a ton of terrible things about Alba and Bilson.

Anonymous,  February 18, 2008 1:10 AM  

Isn't Rachel Bilson doing that fake PR stunt with her Jumper co-star? Man, I have been hearing a lot of bad stuff on Bilson. She was barely shown in magazine covers too. The blurb could mean a an actress who did tv and movies, but purposely doesn't clarify when the actress did them at once or the same time.

I think Heigl is ambitious, and like the other poster I don't mind that. I like that she is uncensored, and she's down to earth too. Honestly, any magazine she is in I will read it. She is interviewed a lot, and does have constant photoshoots.

Nicola,  February 18, 2008 1:28 AM  

I don't think that anyone gives attitude on Vanity Fair or Vogue shoots. It's considered an honour to grace those two magazine covers. With both of those publications sometimes shoot a couple of cover options for each month, only a few celebs are guaranteed to get the cover, with VF, you need to disclose something in the interview. (For example Beyonce has shot a Vogue cover at least once, and it never made it to print).

I didn't mean ambitious in a bad way, it's just that she is a TV actress who has crossed over, and she used/exploited the "faggot" scandal to her advantage. She got more press out of it than the victim.

The Golden Globes are given out by the press. Madonna won one for Evita for goodness sakes. Usually if your in the top comedy (or musical) and you have as much hype as Katherine got, you'll get a nomination. She didn't. But it was suggested that she was intentionally not nominated because of what she said to Vanity Fair -I think by Janet Charleton, I'll have to check.

I don't think she used or exploited with what happened. Have you read the T.R. Knight interviews? He made it known he just wanted to have his say once, and that was on Ellen's show. Heigl honestly didn't do that much. It was the media that kept bringing it up to her, and being Heigl she doesn't have a filter. She says what is on her mind, and gives a truthful response. In the end I think it was Washington that had the most exposure. What Heigl did got exposure because that just never happens in Hollywood. Your job is just to shut and sit down. What Heigl did was actually what I find sad groundbreaking. To defend your best friend, and people to be surprised by that. That's just sad. I think people should do that everyday and not for it to be rarity. Sorry, had to get off my soap box for that one.

The top comedies and/or musicals aren't always nominated. Look at Judd Apatow's work. The 40 Year Old Virign didn't get nominated, and it was the biggest movie that came out of 2006(or was it 2005). That's just one of many examples. Hype doesn't always equal nominations. If that is true, then imagine all the hype nominations then based on hype and success. Since Juno was in there it was going to knock out Knocked Up. They always go for indie comedies more than commerical ones. My Big Fat Greek Wedding as an example.

It's just in my neck of the woods in Hollywood that magazines of any sort, and gossip peeps have been making things up. Now I'm to the point either I go to where I hear the bad stuff about an actress(and I have to say I never hear anything bad on Heigl) or I am iffy on the blind items just to get hits. These gossip places and etc has been getting a lot of things wrong just to make up stuff.

As many said I don't think it's Heigl either. She's everywhere on newstands with her interviews and photoshoots.

It's probably someone else, or might not be anyone at all. Never can tell with these blind items. The credibility of them has been dwindling smaller and smaller the moment spoiler junkies started using them like Ausiello and Kristin to get hits on their site.

Nicola,  February 18, 2008 2:23 AM  

I can't think of any other TV and Movie star other than Heigl or Alba that have had a lot of covers and then have stopped.

I agree Heigl was defending her best friend (uh... how long did she know TR before the show?), but that whole scandal was blown out of proportion for press. Washington's comments were said not to TR but to Dempsey. TR wasn't even on the set. He was told about the comment ("I'm not your faggot like TR" or something to that effect). But it was made to sound like Washington had attacked and outed TR. And the story leaked 2 weeks after the incident in the Enquirer. Don't get me wrong, Washington should have been fired (a lot sooner than he was), and when I watched the shows creator giggle with her nervous laugh at the press conference when the jackass tried to defend himself, I disgusted. As someone who was a unit publicist (on c list crap) but who worked with some amazing entertainment publicists (on A through B), I don't buy anything that comes out of Hollywood at face value, as I've seen the puppet masters at work.

As for the blinds. I agree some sites make them up. And some are true. Some sources won't go on record due to confidentiality agreements, or because too few people know the story. I question anyone who has too many blinds, especially if none or very few ever get revealed.

"that stylists and mag editors are refusing to work with her? "

People keep referring to Patrick Dempsey and then saying this could mean a male star, not necessarily a femae because we are conditioned to think that a "bitchy" attitude must be from a female.

If you read the lines again as I have cut/pasted above, it does clearly say HER, not HIM

Anonymous,  February 18, 2008 4:12 AM  

Funny how all the little Heigl fanatics are defending her. Can't be Longoria cause her movie bombed big time, and she isn't on exactly many mag. covers. I 100% believe its Heigl, its not the first time there's been hints of her diva attitude, plus she's the biggest TV/movie(bleh)star right now.

Btw, the Cosmo cover was done months in advance, there's no barely done anything with a mag. like that.
