HEIGL'S 'Grey' DAZE - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

DON'T look now but Kath erine Heigl's future on "Grey's Anatomy" just got shaky - thanks to the box-office-busting debut of "Knocked Up."

The comedy movie that opened over the weekend pulled in nearly $30 million in just three days - recouping its entire budget practically overnight.

Heigl stars in the movie as an entertainment journalist who becomes pregnant during a drunken one-night-stand with a slacker, played by Seth Rogen.

Meanwhile, Heigl has reportedly not yet come to terms on a new contract with ABC - part of a murky money dispute that has been going on since last spring.

Last March, ABC insisted that Heigl was under a "long-term contract" with the network. But the young, blonde actress doesn't seem to think so.

Heigl told Entertainment Weekly that she wants "the same respect they're showing the other actors." She reportedly is not paid as much as co-stars Ellen Pompeo and Sandra Oh.

"In the last five years, I've decided it's not worth it to me to be pushed around so much," Heigl says.

Well with the sucess of this movie, she ought to get that raise on Greys. I like her character on the show, hope she doesn't leave anytime soon.
