‘Grey’s Anatomy’ to Katherine Heigl:

Emmy revenge can be murder?

By Tom O’Neil

UH-OHh! Could we have blood on our blogger-hands soon? Marc Malkin of E! Online reports: “Latest buzz hissing from the set of the ABC hit is that creator Shonda Rhimes may be entertaining the idea of killing off Katherine Heigl’s Dr. Isobel ‘Izzie’ Stevens because of the now infamous remarks Heigl made about the upcoming Emmys.

“’It’s not good there,’ a source tells me of the Grey’s Anatomy set. Shonda is pissed. They’re thinking of killing her off. They want Izzie dead.’”

However, a network source tells the Los Angeles Times: that rumor isn’t true. Heigl is under contract and will be back next season. When we contacted Heigl’s rep for input, she said, “No comment.”

The nasty battle over Katherine Heigl going AWOL from the Emmys started when I posted on TheEnvelope.com links to the lists that the TV academy members used while voting. One of our forum posters named KellyClarksonFan just happened to notice that last year’s winner Katherine Heigl of Grey’s Anatomy was missing from the eligibility list. When I asked Katherine Heigl’s rep for comment, we got a wallop of a response!

Instead of giving us one of those namby-pamby replies, Heigl said, “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. In addition, I did not want to potentially take away an opportunity from an actress who was given such materials.”

Furious, “a key show insider” told EW.com: “The show bent over backward to accommodate her film schedule, and then she criticizes the show for lack of material? It’s an ungrateful slap in the face to the very writers responsible for her Emmy win in the first place.”

Reeling: Restyling the Raw: The Kidnapping of Ces Drilon, et al.

I RUSHED home on Monday to catch the documentary, Kidnap, on ABS-CBN. This was the story of Ces Drilon, Jimmy Encarnacion and Willy Villarama, and the speed by which the network was able to compile the scenes to form a documentary was both amazing and interesting. Were the individuals—Ces, in particular—ready to talk about their ordeals? Was this the right time to talk about the incident? Is there any right time at all to purge one of his fears and trauma?

Lessons from Amy Winehouse

ENGLISH singer Amy Winehouse is no stranger to tabloid headlines—routinely grabbing attention for alleged drug use, brushes with the law, bizarre on-stage behavior and curious fashion choices. Yet, a recent disclosure that the 24-year-old has “signs of emphysema,” according to her US publicist, Tracey Miller, shocked many. Though copious photos show the beehived songstress with a cigarette dangling from her lips, it seemed stunning to learn that someone that age could suffer from a disease usually associated with two-pack-a-day 65-year-olds.
