Katherine Heigl continues to provide more fodder for her haters. The actress was just apparently dropped from the cast of the upcoming flick Valentine’s Day, after she demanded an enormous paycheck for her part. An insider reveals, “Producers at New Line originally had Katherine on their casting list. They wanted her for the project, but during the talks, she came back demanding $3 million for the role.”
Producers supposedly would not dish over the dough due to the large ensemble cast, in which there’s no lead role. The crew of actors includes such A-Listers as Julia Roberts, Ashton Kutcher, Anne Hathaway and Bradley Cooper, but “no other actors asked for nearly that amount.”
Heigl, who’s responsible for one of the worst romantic comedies of all-time (27 Dresses), is insisting she bailed on the movie, but not because of money issues. Her rep called the story “ludicrous,” and says she “walked away from this project for multiple reasons.” [Photo: GettyImages]

I’d run from a Julia Roberts movie, too. That’s a one way ticket to rom/com hell.
nice sunglass tan/abuse of bronzer
shes not even a good actress!
Katherine Heigl is the new David Caruso.
Nicole is spot on. When will these actor/actresses realize they are not nearly as big, important or revelant as they think they are. An actor is someone who recites the lines someone else has written, three million dollars to do that, comeon. I’m not trying to demean or criticise the profession but come on its not rocket science.

Well, I pay to see her movies.
Yeah, she is money hungry and I’m glad they dropped her as opposed to giving into her demands…but I liked 27 dresses?
I must be crazy.
