Katherine Heigl

Looks like somebody changed the subject.

“It is a little girl and she’ll be 10 months at the end this month,” Heigl said on The Ellen DeGeneres Show in an episode to air Friday, announcing her impending adoption. “She was actually born the day before me in November, which I thought was really serendipitous and just kind of like a sign. I realized just recently that I basically forfeited my birthday for the rest of my life.”

The Knocked Up star, Katherine Heigl has ruled out a stint on the London stage – because the thought of appearing in the West End makes her feel sick.

Katherine Heigl has long harbored ambitions to supplement her movie and TV career with a stage role.

But Heigl isn’t confident she could deal with performing in front of live audiences – and the thought petrifies her.

She says, “I’m a big coward and I’m really afraid of live audiences. I used to really want to do stage one day and then the last couple of years I’ve done some presenting at awards show.
“I was so nervous I thought I was going to be sick, so I don’t think me on stage for any length of time would work because I would inevitably throw up, and that would be embarrassing.”

Katherine Heigl has signed to star in and produce ESCAPE, a new movie about the American polygamous sect founded by Warren Jeffs.

The movie will be based on the memoir of Carolyn Jessop, whose testimony helped to convict Jeffs of incest and sexual conduct with minors.

Jeffs, the leader of the Fundamentalist Church of Latter Day Saints, was jailed for 10 years in November (07).

Katherine Heigl will play Jessop, who was born into the sect and escaped when she 35 – with the eight children she had with an older man she was forced to marry at 18.

Katherine Heigl has been talking to the press lately about how much she wants to start having babies. But she says Josh isn’t quite ready, so maybe they’ll meet somewhere in the middle.

“I didn’t propose to him but I strongly suggested he propose. “One day we were sitting in my house, chatting and having a glass of wine, and I said, ‘How do you feel about marriage? Where do you see this relationship going? Because I don’t want to just date any more.’ I had just got to a place in my life when I was ready for a commitment.”

After just two months of marriage to rocker Josh Kelley, Katherine Heigl is planning their first pregnancy.

“I say I want to start in like July,” Katherine Heigl revealed. “He’s saying the following July. I’m thinking maybe a compromise — sometime in December.”

Katherine Heigl and her husband Josh Kelley have become the victims of thieves – their car was broken into on Monday night.
The couple awoke on Tuesday morning to find the window of their sports utility vehicle (SUV) had been smashed in outside their Hollywood home.
But they were stunned to discover the two guitars singer Kelley had left on the back seat had not been touched – the only thing stolen from the car was their satellite navigation device, reports PageSix.com.
Kelley says, “Thieves suck! I guess people who do this are pretty stupid.”

Congratulations to “Grey’s Anatomy” star Katherine Heigl who wed her soulmate Josh Kelley on December 23rd. Please check out this exclusive cover story from OK! Magazine’s January 14th, 08 issue…

As the pink and peach hues of the winter sun began to set over the snow-covered mountains nestling around the Stein Eriksen Lodge in Park City, Utah, Grey’s Anatomy star Katherine Heigl and her musician beau, Josh Kelley, said ” I do.” Unitarian minister Tom Goldsmith presided over the 30-minute ceremony, attended by 80 friends and family members. Having eschewed readings, the couple went straight to exchanging their vows, which were a combination of traditional and their own personal writings.

Supporting Katherine, 29, was her sister and matron of honor, Meg, and three bridesmaids. Josh, 27, who met his bride when she starred in the video for his 2005 single “Only You,” was joined by four groomsmen, including his younger brother Charles as best man and Katherine’s Grey’s co-star and best friend T.R. Knight. Grey’s cast members Sandra Oh and Justin Chambers and Private Practice star Kate Walsh were also there to cheer on the happy couple. “We’re elated,” Katherine tells OK!. Adds Josh: “This girl makes me want to be a better man.” Here, the happy couple shares the joy of their winterwedding with OK!.

How does it feel to be married?

Katherine: I’m with a person who not only brings enormous joy and laughter into my life but is also hugely grounded, smart, passionate and talented. Every moment I try to take too seriously, he helps me lighten up. It’s a blessing to know I can come home to somebody who cannot only make me laugh but validate who I am and respect me.

Josh: She’s beautiful and talented. I just love her.

Do you feel different?

Katherine: It’s such a build up, so what makes me nervous is that it’s just one day in the rest of your life. You have to plan for the day after and a lot of amazing stuff that goes along with being married. We just bought a house and have never lived together.

Josh: We don’t even sleep in the same bed when family is around!

Katherine: [Laughs] We’re totally respectful to our parents, and I’ve tried to keep a bit of the allure.

Your first home, how exciting!

Katherine: Yes! I bought my bachelorette pad when we got engaged. At the time, I thought, “This is really stupid because we’ll be moving in a year,” but I’m actually really grateful we did it. It was my place, I had it just the way I wanted it, and he had his place in Tennessee how he wanted it. But this new house means now we are in it together. It means com-promise on style, taste and how each one of us lives, how we don’t like to live and how we’re going to work it all out. It’s going to be an amazing place to start our lives together and start a family.

Josh, how did you propose?

I found the place where we shot the video [for “Only You”]. It was at a bungalow on Venice Beach [in California]. I convinced the people who own it to let me propose to Katie there! Luckily, the sky was clear, the stars were shining and she said yes!

How did you settle on a date?

Katherine: Originally, it was because I only get two weeks off a year for my Christmas vacation from [Grey’s] and [Josh] is touring in the summer. I don’t think either one of us was thinking a Christmas wedding, but then we got really excited about it. Oddly, though, with the writers’ strike, I’ve had five weeks off, so we could have gotten married in November.

Why Park City?

Katherine: We wanted to do it in a place that felt like a winter wonderland. Josh’s family used to come to Deer Valley [Resort in Utah] to ski during Christmas vacation. My mom and I are building houses up here. We incorporated lots of big evergreens in the reception with twinkle lights and Christmas decorations.

Why did you choose a Unitarian ceremony?

Katherine: We went pretty traditional because we wanted to set the tone for the marriage itself: faith in each other and loyalty and commitment.

Did you discuss your vows?

Katherine: No, it was a surprise!

Josh: I read mine to her mom [Nancy] because I needed to share it with someone who knows Katie very well, and there is no one better than Nancy. She loved them.

Who chose what at the wedding?

Josh: The music was my only task. There is a band called the Stingers who are one of the best wedding bands in the country. My manager just happens to manage them, so that was her wedding gift to us.

Katherine: We had to do a look at place settings last week, and he was like,”Thank you so much for not making me do all of this.” [laughs]

What was the most moving moment of the day?

Katherine: When Brandon Whyde sang as a tribute to my brother [Jason, who passed away in 1986] and Josh’s sister who died as a baby. They are two people who should’ve been there and weren’t. We wanted to honor them insome way.

How do you both stay sane in the public eye?

Josh: We remind each other to be humble.

Katherine: There are so many people rooting against you. You see in entertainment magazines how happy they are for you when you get married, and then six months later, they want to see you unhappy. We want to create a safe haven for ourselves in this home and in the tradition of marriage itself.

Do you plan to have children?

Katherine: My mother’s been saying lately that there is a family you’re born into and a family you choose. Josh is the family I am choosing. I’d like to start talking children seriously in the next year, but Josh feels more like two years, so we’ll probably do a year and a half. [laughs] I’m excited about having a big family. I’m talking five or six.

Josh: I love big families and I was raised in a family of six kids, but
my view is, “Let’s take it one day and one child at a time!”

Whose idea was it to haveT.R. Knight as a groomsman?

Josh: It was my idea because he’s become such a good friend. He’s a really solid, smart guy. [The bridesmaid rumor] was never the case. People just make things up. It starts to get really weird.

Katherine, describe your Oscar de la Renta wedding dress. It’s very
fitted and is the silhouette I always tend to do on the red carpet because it suits my particular body shape. It’s classic and elegant but also modern.I did a ’50s short-hat veil that came to my cheekbones. I am so thrilled.It’s so sad you only get to wear it for one day!

How did you choose your rings?

Katherine: Mine is a diamond-and-sapphire eternity band. I designed both with my jeweler Ryan Ryan, who also did the engagement ring and does all my red carpet jewelry. For Josh, since he’s a rocker,I wanted him to have a funky band, so it’s wide platinum.

Josh: It looks like it’s been woven; it twinkles a bit, like it has tiny
diamonds. I was kind of nervous about what she would have me wear, but I thought, “This girl’s cool; she’ll do something cool for me.”

What is on your registry?

Katherine: Fine china, silver, the stuff that our parents registered for. My mother’s wedding gifts will become family heirlooms. I was excited about getting new pots and pans.

Josh: I don’t really have any china or dishware that she would even consider bringing into the family. I was pretty excited when we were registering for really nice things.

Are there people you’re sad couldn’t attend the wedding?

Katherine: Some of the [Grey’s] cast members like Ellen Pompeo and Christopher, her husband. And Patrick [Dempsey] and [his wife] Jill, Eric[Dane] and [his wife] Rebecca [Gayheart], James Pickens and Sara [Ramirez]. They are all people I love.
Did you work out pre-wedding?

Katherine: Not so much for the wedding dress but for the bathing suit for my honeymoon. I am so paranoid now after what they did to Jennifer Love Hewitt! I’m like, “Oh, my god, if they think she looks bad then I’m screwed.” I should really take a note from her and not care so much – she looks amazing. She has a phenomenal body!

Are you ready for the honeymoon?

Josh: We just wanted to make sure we would both relax. I didn’t bring my big guitar.

Katherine: We’re going to Los Cabos, Mexico, and staying at Esperanza Resort. I am ready to sit on a beach and do nothing but read and lay in the sun.

Katherine Heigl’s Winter Wonderland Wedding Pictures

The stunning actress, who is married to Tom Cruise, has topped a poll conducted by America’s OK! magazine to find the most fashionable celebrity.

In recent months, Katie has transformed herself from her tomboy ‘Dawson’s Creek’ character Joey Potter into a sleek fashionista who is never uncomfortable on the red carpet.

One OK writer said: “Katie Holmes has matured from teen queen into a pillar of fashion. This year her style was developed and fine-tuned so much so that she came to be viewed in the same realm as legends like Jackie O, helping her cruise beyond the shadow of her husband and into an iconic realm of her own.”

Katie was closely followed in second place by ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ star Katherine Heigl thanks to her “natural and timeless beauty.”

Gwen Stefani – who is renowned for her unique sense of style and has found success with her own fashion line L.A.M.B – came third, while 33-year-old supermodel Kate Moss took fourth spot.

‘Umbrella’ singer Rihanna rounded off the top five.

2. Katherine Heigl

Emmy award winner Katherine Heigl is praying for Britney Spears, and hopes that she recovers from her career landslide.

She told TMZ.com: “I hope to God she finds her way.”

The Grey’s Anatomy star – who won her Emmy for Oustanding Actress in a Drama Series – claims that Hollywood has taken it’s toll on the Toxic star, who has been under the media spotlight since the tender age of sixteen.

“If you don’t have the time and experience to know yourself well enough, this can be the result,” claims Heigl.

She added: “My heart breaks for her — she’s been showered with a lot of attention at a very young age.”

Spears made headlines yesterday after an L.A. judge ruled that she would have to undergo twice weekly drug tests in order the maintain the 50/50 custody agreement she currently holds with ex husband Kevin Federline.

The 25-year-old made more headlines when she was spotted at two L.A. nightclubs within hours of the judge discussing her ‘habitual drug abuse.’

According to numerous publications Spears was drinking heavily at both clubs.

“They kept bringing [Spears] shots,” a fellow partygoer told People.

“She was dancing on the tables trying to be really sexy, even putting a black sock over her head as a hat, and putting on a show for everyone.”
