Have U Heard??

Katherine Heigl, Gerard Butler, Cheryl Hines, Anna Faris, Jennifer Morrison, Roslyn Sanchez and Kate Walsh were among the celebrities who attended the premier of the romantic comedy, ”The Ugly Truth” last night (July 16, 2009) in Hollywood.

Gerard Butler and Katherine Heigl star in ”The Ugly Truth” where Heigl plays the show producer Abby Richter, who becomes involved in a series of tests by her chauvinistic correspondent Mike, who is played by Gerard Butler, to prove his relationship theories.

 There were no screen tests – or even a meeting – with the two stars to see if they had chemistry on film.  Butler was sold on the project from the beginning:

“I was head over heels over her from ‘Knocked Up.’ I read the script, and I’ll be honest, I get a lot of scripts for romantic comedies and most of them aren’t interesting. But this was very un-PC and it had Katie. I was not going to say no.”

Katherine Heigl, sporting a new short brown hairdo was asked what is this “Ugly Truth” of which you speak?

“It’s ugly on both sides,” she says, “Women get uptight  (Lot of Photos after the Jump)!! in their expectations. It’s the reverse with men. What’s often important is not soul, but the package. But by the end, from such extremes they [her character and Butler's] come together and we’re a perfect match and you wouldn’t ever expect them to wrap their brains around each other.”

Speaking of perfect matches, Heigl sounds very happy with hers, husband Josh Kelley:

“I’m a different person, he makes me a better person. My intensity has lightened. He’s the funniest person. If I were to tape his routines people would be surprised. They think of him as this serious singer-songwriter. He could actually do stand-up if he wanted. He’s brought laughter, joy to my life.”

“The Ugly Truth” opens across the U.S. July 24th.
