Modesty
*Sigh.*I'm just too tired to do it again. Look, Katherine. You and I are just not meant to get along, OK. I want to see the good in this photo, I really do. But, it's just so goddamn transparent. I mean, first of all: Look over your shoulder. That's where the writers are picketing. Only an opportunist with no sense of modesty would break rank with the writers so that she -- along with her pals -- can find a secluded area where she can provide ample photographic evidence that -- yes! -- look, "I'm striking. I'm striking! I love the writers!" Picketing is not a photo op, Ms. Cancer. It's not supposed to be a means to get your picture taken for the tabloids. Look at all the snapshots below -- in none can you be seen with the actual writers.
And see Sarah Ramirez there to the left? See how she's wearing a Writer's Guild T-Shirt? Yeah -- so, why are you wearing a Screen Actor's Guild T-Shirt? Just admit it, Katherine: It's because as much as you'd like to show your support for the writers, you don't want to be mistaken for one, right? Because writers are beneath you, huh? They don't have fragrance lines or magazine covers, and God forbid someone mistake you for one of the peasants you are stooping to support.
And I love that you have that big old smile on your face. Why? Because the strike means nothing to you -- you're not want for money, your family is not going to go without during the holidays. No: You can smile and laugh and giggle with your pals because, at the end of the day, you're still gonna get yours. Hell, I'm surprised you don't have someone carrying around that sign for you.
Go sell some perfume, lady. And if you want to support the strike, donate some money and stop distracting attention away from the actual people who need it.
Modesty: Freedom from vanity or conceit, something which Katherine Heigl clearly lacks.
SkankCancer aside, and I love Sara Ramirez, but good lord -- how embarrassing to misspell the name of the television show on which you have a starring role!
I think you should to consider some kind of psychological help as to have this level of hatred for someone you do not know is unhealthy. You arguments are pathetic - if Heigl wasn't there you would say she was not showing support, and the fact she is you are critical to the point of stupidity. Did it not occur to you the WGA invited the actors to attend to promote their cause and get media attention. To keep the strike in the public eye. The photographs would have been arranged so they could get pictures and interview the actors. The majority of writers do not want to be put in front of the cameras on national TV they are not comfortable with that. You will find photographs like this of ALL the actors who were there. But you won't find anyone other than Heigl who came out to say she will not attend the Golden Globe awards (where she is the only one in attendance who is actually nominated) if she has to cross a picket line. You are misinformed and an idiot.
Wow, who knew that that Mdme. Bites-The-Hand-That-Feeds-Her reads and responds to blog posts?
In response to Heigl's mother, do you have it on good authority that the writers don't want to be photographed and put on cameras for all to see? Did they tell you?
Sounds like a hard way to raise awareness if they don't want the public to see them on strike, doesn't it? Here's a lofty idea, why doesn't Heigl POSE with one of the writers? That seems to hammer home the idea of actors supporting writers, no? I guess she wanted to, but probably forgot her rubber gloves that day.
ps. I love how she's rocking the "I'm a celebrity undercover, please don't notice me, but also notice me at the same time" sunglasses. I guess the glare of poverty was getting to her.
autumngirl, they didn't misspell the show's name - it's just spelled differently than the famous book.
Cate, I believe autumngirl was referring to Sara's sign bearing the word "Antatomy" instead of "Anatomy".
I guess Heigl's publicist/sign caddie couldn't see the same weaknesses he mentions in his own argument. But seriously, you really have to let this go. It isn't healthy to be this rabid about anything.
