Ungrateful Actress?
Katherine Heigl, known as an actress who plays a doctor, on Grey's Anatomy and sometimes film actress (Knocked Up) said she doesn't want to be nominated for an Emmy because of bad "material."
It must be so nice to ride on a horse so high up in the air.
What is wrong with this woman? Is this a publicity stunt? Is it a swipe at her boss?
I would fire her if I were her boss.
The oh-so-high-on-her-horse actress said she also didn't want to stand in the way of anyone who got to act on a show with better "material." Whahh Whahh.
Grey's Anatomy is a highly rated show and a pretty good watch.
Creator and executive producer Shonda Rhimes should fire her ass for biting the hand that feeds her. She can be replaced. There are thousands of talented actresses who would love to stand in Heigl's shoes. Ingrate.

Sex in the City (lives on in all of us women)
A comment made on the NPR site got me to thinking about my life. I said I had failed while reaching for the Sex in the City lifestyle. Actually, I met the same fate as the show and the women in Sex in the City: My activities were halted. Our society doesn't want women purposely behaving like Carrie, Sam, Charlotte and Miranda

Top Black Industry Insiders, Sean 'P. Diddy' Combs, Naomi Campbell, Bethann Hardison, Tyson Beckford, Tracy Reese, Andre Leon Talley And Many Others Sound Off About The Sharp Decline In African American Images In The Fashion Industry
NEW YORK, May 28 /PRNewswire/ -- According to targetmarketnews.com, Black women in the United States spend more than $20 billion on apparel each year. Unfortunately the runways, magazine spreads and the image/beauty industry at large are increasingly ignoring their buying power and their existence by choosing instead to market an Eastern-European form of beauty as the standard. This global decrease in the use of African Americans models in top campaigns and in major fashion shows has sparked the question: has Black become unfashionable? On Thursday May 29 at 8:30 PM, BET News goes behind the scenes of New York's Fashion Week to find the answer in a half hour special, FASHION BLACKOUT. Top Black industry insiders, Sean "P. Diddy" Combs, Naomi Campbell, Bethann Hardison, Tyson Beckford, Tracy Reese, Andre Leon Talley and many others sound off about the sharp decline in African American images in the fashion industry, the blatant racism and their plans on how to keep the Black model from becoming extinct.
At New York's September 2007 Fashion Week the runways were dominated by white faces. In fact, Black faces were more absent from the runways than some fashion insiders have seen since the '60s. Of the 101 runway shows, more than 1/3 employed no Black models; most of the others used just one or two. Blacks fared no better overseas: When the fashion caravan moved to London, Paris and Milan, the most influential shows -- from Prada to Jil Sander to Balenciaga to Chloe and Chanel -- made it appear as if someone had hung a sign reading: No Blacks Need Apply. So is the fashion industry racist or are Blacks simply not in season? FASHION BLACKOUT will explore the issues and how the exclusion of an entire race has a negative effect on Black women and their sense of self-worth.
