1. Knocked Up - Katherine Heigl
Katherine Heigl awoke one morning and decided that she would turn on Judd Apatow's movie
Knocked Up, not because it was bad or anything (it's actually the best movie in her filmography), but because she suddenly didn't agree with the way it portrayed women. That's fine, I guess, but why did she agree to be in the movie in the first place? She reads the script and she gets paid and only
afterwards she decides that she should get all feminist and turn against it? For me, that doesn't ring very true, and I don't think her decision was a wise one at all. It's a little sexist," she said. "It paints the women as shrews, as humorless and uptight, and it paints the men as lovable, goofy, fun-loving guys. It exaggerated the characters, and I had a hard time with it, on some days. Both Judd Apatow and Seth Rogen were rightly annoyed at her comments, which do come across as super hypocritical when you see that pretty much every movie that she's agreed to star in afterwards (
The Ugly Truth, anyone?) is misogynist as hell. I guess she just wanted a bit of extra attention on that day or something.
