"Grey's Anatomy" Star In New Tiff

Man, it's gotta be tough backstage at "Grey's Anatomy." There must be slap fights every day at the catering truck, tears and sniffles in the honeywagon. A year ago we had the whole Isaiah Washington-Patrick Dempsey-T.R. Knight brouhaha that went on for months, even after creator Shonda Rhimes gave Washington the boot. Katherine Heigl did her best to get a piece of that action, standing up for pal Knight, but now she's taken a very public shot at Rhimes on an entirely different topic.

Heigl copped the best-actress Emmy last year in a surprise win for her performance as Dr. Izzie Stevens, beating out two of her co-stars. But this year she's pulling herself from the Emmy competition - and explaining her reasoning to TheEnvelope.com, the L.A. Times awards blog. Rhimes and company must have been thrilled to see the headline, "Emmy champ Katherine Heigl quits the race, blaming 'Grey's Anatomy' writers." Apparently Heigl feels that poor Izzie was underserved by the scripts. ""I did not feel that I was given the material this season to warrant an Emmy nomination and in an effort to maintain the integrity of the academy organization, I withdrew my name from contention," Grey told the Times.

Me-ow!

That's gonna make for a swell day on the set when they start filming again, huh? Now, she may be right that Izzie has been on the losing end, screen-time-wise. What the hell was the thing with the deer, anyway? But the more interesting question is...why would she have been slighted? Was Rhimes trying to balance things out for other cast members slighted the year before? Or was this vindictive? Was she pissed off at Heigl's ability to get in front of the cameras for "ET" during the Washington mess? Or is Heigl just a pain in the ass?

Perhaps not coincidentally, it was just announced that Heigl will produce and star in the film version of "Escape," a memoir by Carolyn Jessop, one of the young women whose testimony helped convict polygamist cult leader Warren Jeffs. Jeffs is now in prison, but his legacy lives on in the Texas compound to which authorities are returning the 400 kids they recently "rescued" from the cult.

Oh, and Heigl's current movie project? She's shooting a comedy called "The Ugly Truth."

There's a BIG difference between a strong-minded individual and a bad teamplayer. Heigl clearly doesn't know how to play the game. When she gets that wake-up call it's not going to be pretty. She burning bridges and stepping on toes. Good luck, lady!
