ABC televison was shot down in court today by the estranged hubby of Kate Walsh.

The judge ruled Alex Young can make ABC Prez Stephen McPherson sit for a deposition, and answer all sorts of questions about Walsh’s financial prospects at ABC — pilots, development deals, etc.

Walsh and Young were only together as husband and wife for 14 months, but it’s turning into one of the most bitter divorces in Hollywood.

ABC claims Young is harassing her and ABC and the motive is $$$.

And here’s the best quote from the ABC lawyer: “It’s as if Manny Ramirez was getting divorced and the first deposition they want to take is the president of ESPN.”

The judge disagreed, so now Young’s lawyer can grill the ABC honcho.

Kendra Wilkinson took to her blog today to defend women after a celebrity blogger posted about what women should wear to look attractive.

Kendra wrote, “There’s nothing SEXIER than confidence in a woman!!!! Weight doesnt matter… at the end of the day everybody has a different standard for what turns them on. There are probably tons of men out there that find thick librarians smokin hottt! LOL.

Whats up with the whole double standard anyway? Maybe men should start walking around with their hands cupped on their junk and tank tops that show off their abs… um, but only if they’re built like football players ”

Katherine Heigl is the fifth highest-paid actress in Hollywood, with a successful TV series (Grey’s Anatomy) and two blockbuster romcoms (Knocked Up and 27 Dresses) topping her CV. She famously described Knocked Up as ‘sexist, painting the women as shrews’, went through heavy-handed and very public salary negotiations at Grey’s and withdrew from last year’s Emmy race because she didn’t feel she was given the material to warrant a nomination. In a (male-dominated) business where diplomacy counts for more than honesty, an actress saying what she actually thinks upsets the status quo.

You’ve said you have an opinion about almost everything. So what’s off-limits?

Nothing, actually, though people misunderstand that. Lately I’ve been getting a lot of crap from people thinking that I shouldn’t have an opinion.

Would you describe yourself as something of a feminist?

I’m not out burning bras, but I’m very opinionated about women owning their power. I look back at my twenties and see that I was much less confident. You repress how you really feel because society tells us what women think isn’t valid, that we’re frivolous and shallow.

How does it feel to be officially the fifth highest-paid actress in Hollywood?

That’s awesome. I didn’t know that. I have a tendency to go, ‘Oh my God, there’s nowhere for this to go but down’, but 
I should take a minute to appreciate that. If it all goes away tomorrow? I’ll be OK, too.

Your new movie, The Ugly Truth, explores how to manipulate men. Did you ever try any of the techniques?

I think a lot of women innately know how to play their hand. I’m not a big one for the rules.

How important are your looks to you?

I always assume I look better than I actually do. I’ll feel pretty good about myself when I leave the house, then I’ll see a picture and think, ‘Crap, I had no idea that’s what I was looking like.’

When do you think you’ll move on from doing romcoms?

I know I’m catching some crap for it, but I really like doing them. People keep asking me if I want to do anything more serious, or Oscar-worthy, and I do, but I’m not quite there yet.
