Katherine HeiglHot List: Grey's Anatomy - Katherine HeiglBoldly beautiful, Katherine Heigl turns heads as she ranks #12 on Maxim's annual Hot 100 List and voted the 19th "Sexiest Woman in the World by the readers of FHM Magazine. This part German, part Irish and part American model turned actress is certainly one of the reasons why the show Grey's Anatomy is a success. Born November 24, 1978 in Washington, D.C., Katherine Heigl started out as a child model. Shortly, she made her debut in a magazine advertisement and landed a spot for a national commercial for Cheerios cereal. Eventually, she appeared in movies like That Night, King of the Hill and many more. She also got the lead role as Nicole in the comedy show My Father the Hero. But she was popularly known for her portrayal of Isabel Evans on the science fiction TV drama Roswell. Playing Dr. Isobel "Izzie" Stevens on the medical drama Grey's Anatomy positively carves her a niche in the TV world. Her charming persona, not to mention her pretty façade, easily translates to her character in the series. Katherine Heigl "Not Cool" with IsaiahKatherine Heigl has had more than enough of the F-word (the gay slur), and thinks her co-star Isaiah Washington should quit using it, forever. Once again defending her "best friend in the whole world," T.R. Knight, in an interview with 'EXTRA,' Heigl says that the "Grey's Anatomy" dirty laundry needs to be dealt with "in-house" and that it's "discouraging." While she says she's hopeful that a proper detente can be reached, Heigl is "not cool" with Washington's hurtful comments. Neither, for that matter, is ABC, which said today that it was "greatly dismayed" by Washington's outburst. Katherine Heigl upset with 'Grey' co-star Isaiah Washington's comments at Golden Globe AwardsAssociated Press LOS ANGELES (AP) — "Grey's Anatomy" star Katherine Heigl was not pleased with fellow castmate Isaiah Washington's comments following Monday's Golden Globe Awards. During an interview in the press room after the show's best-drama win, Washington denied his involvement in a heated on-set incident in October during which he allegedly used a homophobic slur. "No, I did not call (co-star) T.R. (Knight) a faggot," Washington said. "Never happened, never happened." Rather than soothing the situation, his comments left Heigl seething. "I'm going to be really honest right now, he needs to just not speak in public. Period," Heigl told "Access Hollywood" at a Golden Globe after-party. "I'm sorry, that did not need to be said. I'm not OK with it." She called the comments "hurtful," characterizing the incident as one that should be handled privately among the show's cast and crew. "I don't think (Washington) means it the way he comes off," Heigl said. "But T.R. is my best friend. ... I will use every ounce of energy I have to take you down if you hurt his feelings." Katherine Heigl Upset With Isaiah WashingtonLOS ANGELES, January 17, 2007 - "Grey's Anatomy" star Katherine Heigl was not pleased with fellow castmate Isaiah Washington's comments following Monday's Golden Globe Awards. During an interview in the press room after the show's best-drama win, Washington denied his involvement in a heated on-set incident in October during which he allegedly used a homophobic slur. Washington denied ever having made a derogatory remark regarding T.R. Knight's sexual preference. Rather than soothing the situation, his comments left Heigl seething. "I'm going to be really honest right now, he needs to just not speak in public. Period," Heigl told "Access Hollywood" at a Golden Globe after-party. "I'm sorry, that did not need to be said.

"I don't think (Washington) means it the way he comes off," Heigl said. "But T.R. is my best friend. ... I will use every ounce of energy I have to take you down if you hurt his feelings." Knight, who said soon after the October fracas that he is gay, appeared on a daytime talk show Tuesday to discuss the original incident and Washington's recent comments. "He referred to me as a (anti-gay slur). Everyone heard it," Knight said of the October squabble. Comments from Heigl and Washington were set to air Tuesday. A call placed after hours Tuesday to Washington's representative was not returned. Copyright © 2007 KABC-TV and the Associated Press . All rights reserved.
