After Katherine Heigl recently announced that she was undeserving for an Emmy nomination because she wasn't given good enough material to work with, a direct insult to Grey's Anatomy writers, those who work behind the scenes in Hollywood have spoken out against the actress.

Since becoming quite the movie star after two hit flicks, Knocked Up and 27 Dresses, it has been rumored that Heigl is trying to get out of her contract with the TV show so she can focus on her movie career. Heigl also bit the hand that has fed her when she commented in a Vanity Fair article that Knocked Up was "a little sexist," and that "it was hard for me to love the movie."

Now, NY Mag's blog Vulture is weighing in on the Grey's dispute, publishing an open letter to Heigl which reads:

"Okay, Heigl, we agree that Izzie’s story lines have become increasingly marginal and unbelievable. Lately, everyone on the show seems to think that Izzie’s completely irritating. So do we! We actually groan aloud when your perky face appears onscreen! There’s a theory we have about this, Katherine, so listen closely. Have you ever thought that maybe the writers are incorporating your own personality into that of your character? Because we read a lot of women’s magazine and gossip sites, and we think we kind of know you at this point. And guess what? You’re totally annoying and self-righteous, just like Izzie … And then (and then!) you called your own hit movie, Knocked Up, 'a little sexist.' You have a right to your opinion, and we might even agree with you. But you were Apatow’s first choice for that movie, you did it, you made lots of money, and it made you a certified movie star. What possessed you to bash it? Do you think you’re above the work that you do? It was a comedy, and you profited tremendously. You’re no Streep, honey, and even she does Abba with a smile … now we’re going to throw you a bone: We think you’re a talented comedic actress. That’s right, your timing is much better than most, and you have a goofy onscreen persona that combines nicely with your California-girl looks."

The right thing to do in this predicament would be to let Heigl have her way. Kill off her character, but do it in a very cool way — like, Izzy dies of explosive diarrhea. After she dies, the rest of the episode is dedicated to McDreamy and McCreamy talking about how smelly she was.
