Heigl Wasn't Supposed to Be Cast in Knocked Up At All!

Katherine Heigl, who has criticized the movie that made her famous (Knocked Up) for being sexist, apparently wasn't supposed to be the star in the first place. Judd Apatow's first choice for the role of Alison Scott was Anne Hathaway. However, Anne backed out citing the movie was too radical for her (i'm guessing she is referencing that part at the end where they show a baby's head crowning). Katherine was quoted as saying "I think Anne found the film a little too radical especially with the shot at the end! Seeing a baby's head poking through was a little strong but the reaction of the audience at that point was so extreme. They just screamed - especially the men!"

So, let me get this straight, Katherine. You're only too happy to star in a role considered "too radical" by the actress that was supposed to play the role, but as soon as the movie makes you famous, it's suddenly a sexist film. Right? Yeah, I thought so.

And just so we're clear, does this picture of you objectify women? No? Alright, just trying to follow you're crazy logic.
