Grabbing director Richard Ayoade’s hair, she added: “It will never come back and I think women should consider what forever means.”

She captioned the bikini pic: “Thank you everyone for all the birthday wishes”

>> Former Grey’s Anatomy star Katherine Heigl, is suing New York pharmacy chain Duane Reade after they tweeted a papparrazi photo of her leaving one of their stores. Heigl is demanding six million dollars in compensation for “false advertising”.
Happy Place notes: “On one hand, Heigl’s correct about the tweet being false. In that, it’s not true she “can’t resist” going to Duane Reade, it’s more likely that she “can’t afford” to have an assistant running errands for her anymore. In the lawsuit, Heigl’s lawyers claim their client is a “highly recognized celebrity,” adding that “Accordingly, when plaintiff chooses to endorse a product or service, she is highly selective and well compensated.” Highly selective? She’s doing non-speaking roles in ZzzQuil commercials! What juicy parts is she turning down? Reverse Mortgage ads? Vivid?
“The lawyers also offered up that “A recent search for ‘Katherine Heigl’ on the Google search engine returned 3.2 million results.” Maybe so, but they should also be aware that if you Google the words “Katherine Heigl is a,” like I just did, this is what pops up:

And that’s it for this week’s goss round-up. Have a great weekend!
