17-hour day was Katherine Heigl's fault?

Keeping up with the Katherine Heigl headlines? Have you ever heard the buzz about her?
'17-hour day she spent on the set of "Grey's Anatomy" a couple weeks back? You know, she kept bringing up during her press tour to promote "The Ugly Truth"?

Well, not everyone found her remarks appropriate, with sources reportedly telling Emmy-winning TV writer and casual blogger Ken Levine that the 17-hour day in question was Katherine's own fault.

Here is an excerpt from Levine's post on the subject:
"Poor Katherine Heigl. What she neglected to add was this: This "cruel" shooting schedule was only to accommodate HER and herneeds. The producers graciously shuffled things around so she could go off and do promotion for her new film. Also, with unionrules, the producers had to pay a ton of overtime and penalties to make this happen."
That does seem to make sense, doesn't it?

Then again, K.H. was totally kidding when she went around telling journalists and talk show hosts and radio personalities that shewanted to embarrass the "GA" producers by spreading the word about this torturously-long day she was subjected to.

Get it? It was just a hilarious...hilarious joke...

Big news for Defying Gravity

Taking a page from "Lost", we look into each of the astronaut's past through flashbacks from earlier years.

Defying Gravity stars Ron Livingston, Christina Cox and Laura Harris. The series is set to air right now for a 13 week run.

'Grey's Anatomy' exclusive:The George story you'll never see

It's now common knowledge that T.R. Knight declined Grey's Anatomy boss Shonda Rhimes' request to briefly return in season 6 to give his terminal George some closure. “I kind of get it,” the series’ creator says in this week's Entertainment Weekly cover story. “[He’d] emotionally walked away." Fans, however, may not be quite as chill when they hear the killer story she had planned for him. Exclusive details about George O'Malley's lost Grey's Anatomy episode can be found after the jump…

In this fall's season premiere, George will succumb to the injuries he sustained after getting mowed down by that bus in last May's finale. But that wasn't supposed to be the last we saw of him. Says Rhimes, the episode was then going to flash back to the hours during which George was missing, from when he left the hospital to when he returned later on as a disfigured John Doe.

"I wanted to see his last day [alive] really badly," she says. "What I thought was interesting was the idea of, we now know it's the last day of someone's life, [so we’re] looking at it differently than [we] would any other time."

Viewers would have also seen firsthand how George's split-second decision to save that girl's life cost him his own. "I wanted to see the moment he leapt in front of the bus," Rhimes confirms. "I wanted to bookend the episode [so that] the first time you see him leap in front of the bus, it's really scary. But the second time you see it, he's a hero.

"I thought it would have been a beautiful episode," she continues, adding that, had we seen those missing hours, "We might have learned something new about George."

Although disappointed she wasn't able to tell that story, Rhimes insists she's content with how George's five-year arc concluded. "We really got to see him grow up," she says. "It really does feel like we watched a full evolution of a character, and I feel good about that."

Still, I would've loved to have seen those flashbacks. What about you? Do you wish Knight had stuck around a little longer to give us George's last day? Or do you agree with him that the final shot of his character standing outside the elevator was "the best way to leave it"? Comment away below!
