Katherine Heigl, who toplines Lionsgate's summer comedy "Killers," will be honored as female star of the year at ShoWest 2010.

Heigl will be feted during an awards gala set to close the annual exhibition confab March 18 in Las Vegas. ShoWest opens March 15 at the Bally's and Paris hotels.

"Her ever-present charm and innate talent have made Heigl's transition from TV screen to silver screen seemingly effortless," ShoWest managing director Robert Sunshine said. "Her comedic timing and flair for acting are showcased in each of her roles and have captivated audiences around the globe."

A five-year cast member ABC's "Grey Anatomy," Heigl's big-screen break came with the 2007 laugher "Knocked Up." The Robert Luketic-helmed "Killer" unspools June 4.

Rachel McAdams ("Sherlock Holmes") was ShoWest 2009's female star of the year.

Sounds like a little bit of that Gary Coleman charm has rubbed off on her. :rolleyes:

I liked her when she did Roswell but she's changed since then.

Success has definitely gone to her head.

It has, and it's made me horribly dislike her. She should be thrilled that she gets millions to put out pure fluff.

Amen to that!! It's so sad that Michael Landon, Jr. had her as the female lead in several Christian TV-movies based on a series of novels by Janette Oke. Mind you, this was pre-Grey's, but still a disappointment nonetheless.

I was watching "Grey's" last week and I noticed that I didn't even miss Izzy not being there. I used to really like her character and was thrilled she lived through her cancer...but now....I don't know...she's done so many wrong things at the hospital, is it realistic to think they would keep someone on like that? And I like her and Alex together, but she has been gone a long time now and when she came back he didn't seem too interested in reconciling.

Of course, saying all this I read on this board that Shonda Rimes(did I spell that right?) thinks Alex and Izzy are made for each other, so maybe she won't get rid of Izzy all together.
