• Katherine Heigl Loves Having a Creative Say as Executive Producer on 'State of Affairs'

    Katherine Heigl is one of those actresses who has the kind of reputation that precedes her. She left "Grey's Anatomy" to star in a string of films, totally expecting to morph into a big-screen star. That did not exactly happen and her difficult reputation kind of took on a life of its own. For a while Heigl was having a tough time finding a job, and then along came "State of Affairs."While she was said to be totally against the idea of returning to prime-time television for the longest time, she is working as an executive producer on her new NBC show, which means a lot of creative control is now in the palm of her hand. Heigl was interviewed by The Wrap while at a fundraising gala for The Trevor Project, an organization connected with gay teen suicide prevention, and she said she never expected to enjoy her new role on the NBC drama as much as she has been.
  • Shonda Rhimes' 'How To Get Away With Murder' Finally Premieres On ABC Tonight With Viola Davis At The Helm [WATCH]

    It's finally here. Of course I'm talking about the premiere in the latest Shondaland series, How To Get Away With Murder which will no doubt grace a multitude of televisions this evening. In case the build up for this show wasn't already huge (it was) it grabbed even more headlines in the past week when a New York Times tv critic made the mistake of dismissing the amazing Shonda Rhimes as an "angry, black woman". Fans as well as a nice parade of stars who have been fortunate enough to voice characters carefully crafted by Rhimes swung back until the NYT's issued an apology of sorts and even more people were prepared to tune into this new show.
