Katherine Heigl graces the January cover of Elle Magazine. I suppose it’s to promote her new movie, ‘New Years Eve’. In the interview, Katherine talks about still suffering from the fallout of opening her big mouth after ‘Knocked Up’ came out.

It’s not that I don’t like Katherine as many of you constantly remind me…. it’s that she’s not really my favorite. I’ve seen more bad movies than good, and after she came out trashing ‘Knocked Up’ she left a very bad taste in my mouth.

And I’m not alone. After all that went down, her publicist fired her – and Katherine hired a speechwriter to help her stop putting her foot in her mouth.

Here’s more from the interview:

On chemical happiness: “I take a stress relief formula from Whole Foods. I call them my happy pills. Yeah, it helps me. In fact, I should’ve taken one today. I’ve done it to myself. I’ve created a chaotic life, and then I get on edge because of it… maybe I should take Xanax. My mother is so against pharaceuticals. Because of her wariness, it’s left wariness in me. Because, seriously, I have friends who’ll be like, ‘Oh, you have a Vicodin? Can I pop one?’ And I’m like, ‘What? You can’t just pop stuff like that! You need to talk to your doctor. What are you thinking?’”

Seth Rogen on Heigl: “I gotta say, it’s not like we’re the only people she said some bat-sh-t crazy things about. That’s kind of her bag now.”

The aftermath of Heigl’s bitching and moaning: Her longtime publicist told her to start thinking about interviews as other acting roles. A speechwriter was brought in to craft answers to questions she might be asked. She did chipper interviews, the aftermath of which was, she says, “months and months of self-hatred… I was trying to stop the snowball from gaining speed.”

Wanting to be liked again: “I think it’s a female thing. I’m just that a–hole who really wants everyone to like me and it’s a ridiculous goal and it’s an impossible goal. But I think if keep pushing forward and showing myself through and through, they will see me again for what I really am and not what has been sort of spun about me.”

Heigl’s publicist fired her: “I’ve never really been America’s sweetheart, but for a minute I think that’s what they wanted me to be. And I had ‘em for a second thinking maybe I was. And then I opened my mouth and it was clear I wasn’t. There’s so much of my mother’s caustic, sarcastic, irreverent take on things. But I also love and embrace it.” She’s still not sorry for anything she said – it’s her truth – but she is sorry she made the mistake of saying it aloud. “I look at some of what I had to say, and I’m like, Oh my God, I would tell myself to shut up too.”

On her electronic cigarettes: “I love it. I know I’m supposed to say I hate it, but I love it.”
