Katherine Heigl Flip Flop

If Katherine Heigl, one of the Grey's Anatomy stars, were on a political campaign, she would be called a flip flopper so fast she would not know which side was right. First she wants to be off the show, now she wants to stay on "if they will have her." Now that her character has some touching scenes and action with some teeth, she wants to stay right.
I am all for making sure a person gets what they feel they deserve and ensure that they are not taken for granted. I understand that an actor has to make sure that she is not placed on the back burner. I just think it was tacky to announce that she wanted to leave because she was not happy with her character then do a 180. Wasn't there a different way this could have been worked out?

Mind you, I am not attempting to hate on Heigl. I really like her and remember her from her Roswell (I really loved that show) days. I loved her on 27 Dresses too. I just think her behavior (if the reports hold true) is a little bit on the tacky side.

Katherine Heigl will stick with 'Grey's' if they'll have her

The only people who have ever said Heigl wanted to leave are the press. You wont find a single quote from her to that effect.

I would like her to stay. I like the original cast of the show. But the whole thing with her leaving came out with the contract dispute issues that were put out in the press. She was not happy with her deal (I don’t blame her though) and unhappy with the lack of material her character got (evidence by her statements when she dropped out of the Emmy running) so she dropped out of contract negotiations. That’s when Touch Tone came back with the statement that they had her for at least 5 years whether she wanted to get out or not. So whether it was a tactic or whatever, she, at one point, wasn’t planning on sticking around. This all went down last year. She basically told everyone who would listen how dissatisfied she was with her character when she denied the Emmy nod last year too. All that was posturing in my opinion and tacky.

Actually with her movie roles and just marrying that producer guy, I could see how she might want out. At the same time, a steady paycheck is a steady paycheck. Hey, it is business and they have to do what they have to do in order to stay relevant. Some people handle things better than others.

Who cares?! The show shouod have ended a season ago. I agee with Me though. It is tacky. She is alright. She isn't that great to be making a whole heck of demands in my opinion. Besides when she denied the Emmy nod she should have been written out then. The Emmy isn't just for her it is a representation of the show itself. They should have her die in her sleep on the first new episode without one word of dialogue!

Do Something Different

Do something different. Shake your life up a bit. Our brains are funny little 3 pound masses that can take us for a loop and we are still learning so much about it. As much as I enjoy having a routine in my life because it gives me the illusion of having control, variety is also key for cognitive health. Soomi Lee, PhD, assistant professor in the USF College of Behavior and Community Sciences reports "findings suggest that active and engaged lifestyles with diverse and regular activities are essential for our cognitive health." I am not a regular baker but I wanted to do something different. I have not baked in quite some time and I probably won't even eat all the cake but it was a fun and different activity to do. So even if you do not do something drastic. Shaking things up even a little bit can help change the trajectory of your thought, attitude and day.  Article Source:  Variety and consistency are essential to keep the mind health My related Tiktok below @wandatob

Redirect Your Focus away from Lizzo

Redirect Your Focus away from Lizzo Scroll down to listen to the podcast here Recently a comedian has been under fire for making hurtful comments toward the artist Lizzo about her weight. Aries Spears in an attempt to be funny mocks Lizzo about her weight and her looks. He also goes on to say that he can get away with being a big dude and women cannot. He then attempts to pivot in a spectacular show of hypocrisy that instead of supporting her expressions of confidence women should be pointing out potential health issues linked with obesity. Sir! What are you doing? I really wanted to take this opportunity to point out that we as a people, as a nation should be less focused on individuals and more on the industry that’s putting crappy overprocessed foods on the shelves. They are appealing to our need for convenience. They are using science and psychology to influence us to buy these crappy foods. And let's face it, who doesn’t love a good sweet or salty snack or fast food that we ca

Ludacris is Dashing Through the Snow  You can listen to the podcast here. Dashing Through the Snow was released on Disney+ just in time for the holidays. It stars Ludarcis as the main character, Eddie, and Lil Rel Howery as Nick Sinter Clause. Teyonah Parris and Oscar Nuñez also lend supporting roles in this joyful take on a now-holiday classic theme of dealing with someone who has lost faith in Santa Claus.  Eddie Garrick lost his faith in Santa Claus as a young boy after his parent split up on Christmas day. Fast forward to his adulthood, he completely hates Christmas and his marriage is on the verge of ending. In comes this person that he thinks is pretending to be Santa to shake up his night and his life. Will Eddie believe again?  The movie starts off on the right track with a look back at what happened to a young Eddie that seemingly led to his parents' split. I enjoyed the opening scene but got a little skeptical when Ludacris came on. His acting though good is not solid eno
