This isn’t a breaking news story or anything, nor is it super-important in the grand scheme of things. This isn’t even one of the worst/funniest stories of Katherine Heigl’s diva insanity, but it totally made me laugh. According to Page Six, Dame Heigl took in a show of The Book of Mormon. Heigl’s family IS Mormon, right? I think they’re converts, if I’m not mistaken. Anyway, Heigl and her mom (her BFF and basically her only friend) showed up late, caused a commotion, and then Dame Heigl, in true Gloria Swanson fashion, sat through the show with her sunglasses on, puffing on her electronic cigarette.
Katherine Heigl caused quite a stir at a Saturday performance of “The Book of Mormon.” A spy reports the star and her mother arrived at the show 20 minutes after it started, and guests seated in her row had to get up. Ten minutes later, Heigl’s husband, Josh Kelly, showed up, and they had to move again to let him get to his seat next to her.
Attendees also said the “Grey’s Anatomy” actress “wore big dark sunglasses and discreetly bent down and puffed on an electronic cigarette during the show.”
Heigl’s rep had no comment.
[From Page Six]
You know what would have made this story better? Lady-turbans. If Dame Heigl and Mother Heigl had shown up in sunglasses (in a darkened theater), puffing on e-cigs and WEARING LADY-TURBANS. That would have been the height of celebrity discretion.
As I read this story, you know what I got as the subtext? JOSH is the third wheel, not Mother Heigl. Katherine and her mom do everything together, and they obviously wanted to see the show, and Josh just met up with them at the theater like a third wheel. How much longer is this marriage going to last?

funny about the electronic cigarette thing, because i was thinking that the cardigan in the bottom picture was reminding me of the one fraiser’s ex-wife’s psychic wore to that dinner on RHOBH.
also, oh my, he will be divorcing her very soon, won’t he.
OMG!!!! There is all kinds of wrong with everything about this! Heigl looks like her mother’s alien clone. What? What? What? is that second last picture of her in pale wash denim. Ummmm…HELLLLLOOO??!!! Can you hear me?????!!!!Somebody stage and intervention!!!!!!!
That hair is so tragic.
WTF happened to her? She looks awful, and has such a terrible attitude.
Her hair looks like a bird nest trying to fly off…
How can a hairstyle that is so close to being cool actually be so very bad?
LOL @ Fraiser’s wife
What an dredfull hairstlye!
Is that how she WANTED it to look like?
Her daughter is adorable though!
That hair is ten kinds of messed-up and the clothes aren’t helping either. She looks completely tragic.
Well considering they have a child together. I hope their marriage lasts a long time. Children usually take divorce badly. My parents divorce didn’t really make me feel so awesome about myself.
Anyway if this all happened, sounds pretty crazy to me. I didn’t even know they would let you in a Broadway show after the curtain had been raised. wow.
All they needed was to start playing canasta to complete the absurdity.
I thought that the theater folks didn’t let people into shows late. as in, once the curtain goes up, if your butt isn’t in the seat, you lose. simply BECAUSE of the disruption for the other theater-goers.
so, more celebrity treatment at the expense of the unwashed masses? if I’d been at this showing, I’d have asked for my money back or a ticket to a subsequent show.
Lady turbans! LOL! That’s exactly the right accessory for those sunglasses and earrings.
Completely clueless trash talk as ever. Pics are old (though the hair is bad – no clue why she cut it). Neither she or her family are mormon – they used to be but not any more. This is not even a story its just crap. Someone is late to a show and thats a crime? Cos like noone is ever late to a show…or if you are in a theater watching a movie..people never come in late. Whatever. It happens. There is nothing diva about it. Her mother is her manager and she is away shooting a movie in Connecticut. Her husband is on tour. Honestly its just ridiculous the crap that gets written about Heigl. I suspect her marriage will last the test of time but not thanks to you idiots.
If there was ever “Karma hair” Heigl has it.
After all the crazy antics, being insufferable to practically anyone she has worked with… the girl is getting her pay back.
Where is her next “big” project? No one begging her to be their spokesman for their product any longer.
She screwed herself. And now she is walking around with Karma hair. Had she been a little nicer to people I bet her hair would look better. 🙂
What decent Broadway theater lets in ANYONE after curtain time? Why did she get special treatment? Her kind are a dime a dozen in New York. Remind me to never go to that poor excuse for a theater.
Well, that’s it. Katherine Heigl is officially my idol.
@ annoyedfan
Katherine step away from the computer.
Lady turbans and somebody spilling their drink on someone and then cussing them out for being on time and seated as they stomped back ‘n’ forth through the aisles, then screaming in the theater for the stewardess to bring them another would have been all types of Norma Desmondesqued AWE.SOME.NESS.
The wee red shoes on that baby are the cutest thing ever.
Don’t know much about her but her hairstlye reminds me of a 70 year old lady that dyes her hair and plays bridge every sunday after church.
Yes. Lady turbans would definitely complete the Grey Gardens vibe I’m getting from these two.
That is, without a doubt, the worst hair style since Kate Gosselin’s rabid possum hair.
Hagsville…
Karma Hair = Totes Brilliant
Katherine Heigl and Ashley Judd seem cut from the same creepy, self absorbed, super strange cloth. If Trapped Kelly has even an ounce of manhood left in those skinny jeans, he will exit left promptly and leave the Mrs behind.
@annoyedfan/Katherine Heigl: Not a crime, but it’s not done and shows a lot about her character and professionalism for other performers.
annoyedfan/Katherine, was this your first time at a Broadway show? Latecomers can only be shown their seats at very specific times during the production, depending on the production. Five-hundred-plus people in the audience paid a lot of money and, for many of them, the ridiculous cost of travel into NYC, and you do not have respect enough for the common folk around you OR for the professionals performers on stage to put down the teasing comb 20 minutes earlier to ensure your on-time arrival for a live production–with tickets that were most likely comped? And sucking on an eCig the whole time? WTF?
I usually don’t call out other posters because it is a waste of time, and I believe we all have the freedom to share our opinions, but hey @annoyedfan you should really chill out. There have been plenty of times that Katherine Heigl has proven she is a self absorbed narcissitic brat. She has publicly belittled and berated her husband, she continuously mocked the show that gave her a career, and she worked really hard to one up her castmastes for extra attention. Furthermore, the emphasis of this post isn’t so much that she was late, it was her behavior inside the theater after she was already late. I believe she did act this way becasue when representatives refuse to comment, the story is usually true. Finally, I don’t appreciate being called an idiot and feel there are more mature ways to make your point.
The hair is awful. Just… awful. And, she’s a total moron. Enough said.
@TL. LOLZ! That is a terrible middle aged looking hairdo. It looks like she took some scissors and hacked it off in the back herself. Really bad. A lady turban would be an improvement. This chick needs some extensions now.
I just don’t know about her really. But no it is not a crime to come late. Although I hate when people do that in a show.
But reps don’t always refute stories. That does not mean they are usually true. Some people (celebrities) just feel that the story is too silly to comment on.
But I hate her hair. After she got the movie Knocked up she just changed so much.
She looks fabulous and her style is clearly her own! Yay for her!! And her mom! And her husband~
When did she become the old lady who peeks out the curtains whenever a car goes by? WTH? She use to be somewhat attractive.
Eh, being late is rude, but this is pretty much a non-story. E-cigarettes can be smoked indoors by all legal standards.
@ brin hahaha.
“Lady turbans” is the funniest thing I’ve read in a good while. I will find a way to work that into my conversation today.
And a lady turban would be a great way to manage that ghastly hairdo. Would it kill her to just brush a little of it forward, as in a slight degree of bangs? That forehead is skeery.
I don’t even know who she is, I had to look her up and as a TV actress and a D List film actress, I very much doubt this is true. There is no way The Eugene O Neill Theatre would let someone like this interrupt their show. It would throw the performers off and as this show has only just won 9 Tony awards and is one of the most popular shows on Broadway at the moment, they would never put up with that from a nobody
There is still the belief that Theatre actors look down on Film actors who look down on TV actors who look down on Reality people
bwahahahaha “Lady Turbans” and “Conasta”!! It’s Peaknuckle daaaahling! hahahahaha!
SO funny how there are Heigle stans out there! She’s really pretty but the b*tch just comes through all over. And her hair must be fixed. Must.
She was so cute & funny in Knocked Up. She just looks like shit now & seems to have zero sense of humor. What the he’ll happened to her?! I guess all the karma is coming back because she bit all the hands that have fed her in Hollywood.
@Wilma Flintstone, I was just in New York and saw a long running, successful Broadway show. Although I was on time, there were a few who were not and they were seated after the curtain had gone up.
Sometimes people are late for whatever reason and you pay a lot of money for those seats, especially those closer to the stage. Some of those tickets run $300. In this economy, if a theater wants to keep the public coming and paying a lot of money to see plays and musicals, then they need to get over themselves and seat people that are late.
I can certainly understand someone being warned or removed if they will not be quiet or refuse to put their phone on vibrate and let it ring more than once during a performance or take photos during the performance. That not only is distracting the audience, but to the cast as well. But to refuse to seat late comers is going too far, especially with the price you pay for that seat.
Poor Josh. He seems like such a normal guy.
@brin
LOL-Canasta!!!
By the way, I use to have a troll on my pencil eraser that looked just like that.
Her career is tanking and she has a bad reputation. Hope her family life is going well….that may be all she has soon!
Ok, just laughed my ass off at: “lady turbans” “karma hair” and “troll on a pencil eraser.”
She finally morphed into Cyndi Lauper.
Think the story is fake since theaters of any decent reputation dont allow people into theater late – no exceptions even for a celeb.
Lady Turbans is brilliant! Brilliant, I say! BTW, the little girl is so cute!
I’m shocked they were allowed into the theatre after the curtain went up. It’s very disrespectful to the performers onstage as well as to fellow theatre-goers for Katherine and her family to wander in late.
You’d think an actress would know better, but it sounds like her ego is out of control.
that hair is dreadful, wowww!!
“How much longer is this marriage going to last?”
With her hair, not long. Who wants to be married to a clone of their mother in law? Katherine has lost the hot.
The theater gossip is a non-story. I go to the theater all the time and people come in late. It happens. If she had been checking her cell phone during the performance THEN I’d have an issue. That sh*t is majorly distracting.
Lmao @ lady turban comments and picturing her sitting there with an electronic cigarette. Somebody needs to ship her and Lea Michelle diva asses off to an island somewhere.
she looks like zsa zsa gabor circa 1993 in that top pic
haha! heigl and her mother are like those two “Grey Gardens” ladies. in 50 years it’l be the two of them in a overgrown mansion filled with ugly fringe clothes and episodes of greys anatomy on repeat.
Lizzie – rotfl
@CooCooCatchoo…. so true =)
So what if she goes everywhere with her mom and does the Diva act? I’d love to be able to do that, hang out with my mom every chance i have, i miss her a lot. Glad to see Heigl is enjoying her mother, once they get old and frail there isn’t much they can do. BETTER FLOWERS WHILE THEY’RE ALIVE THAN WHEN THEY’RE DEAD. I hope my daughter likes to hang out with me once she grows up.
Look at it this way, better she is spending time with her mom than drugging, going Lohan, prostituting or pulling a Winehouse overdose alone in her bed. I’d rather be with my mom than doing selfish, slef-destructing shenanigans.
“…And I ra-aa-an, I ran so far away/ I just ra-aa-an, I ran both night and day/ Couldn’t get away…”
It’s too bad Heigl was cut from the band, after styling her hair to fit in and all…
Damn right she needs a turban , and not necessarily for the reason you cite!
I know this is sad and snarky, but with that hair, her name should be Katherine HAG-el. Jeebus.
@ annoyedfan-damnnnnnnnnn. is that your cardigan she took? is that why ur annoyed? being late to a show is in poor taste and is rude to those around you. and puffing on a e-cig is just f-ing tragic. go out and light up in the ally like a real woman.
Guys don’t pick on other posters, please. Annoyedfan didn’t say anything to warrant an attack.
Well, if (maybe) he is gay and she is his beard…. maybe it’ll last until the “contract” expires…..?
What is wrong with her hair? What is she doing?
Does anyone remember her short brown haircut in Roswell? Girl totally has the face to rock short hair, but not this style or color.
looks like my little one took a weed whacker to that hair
The hair is so far beyond appalling. Is she trying to hide “high-eyes” with the glasses?
the mother is as weird as the daughter, I have seen her a few times at a store we both patronize, and the mother acts like a diva, when the daughter is no where in sight!!
Sonic the Hedgehog called and wants his hair back.
She’s pretty .. loves her mom.. what’s the matter with that?
Good lord! How old is that woman? That appalling hairdo makes her look 50. I hear bad reports about her as a person, which may or may not be true. Hope she is a nice Mum to that cute little girl and not a Joan Crawford.
It’s Doc Brown from Back To The Future!
Hag-el was recently in Pittsburgh filming a movie (which is supposedly so bad that it is going direct to DVD) and while at a restaurant, puffed away on her idiotic smoke pacifier. My daughter and I watched in amusement as she ignored her tablemates and constantly scanned the room to watch if she was being watched!!!
1. Whoever told her that her hair looked good should be shot. She is giving hot moms a bad name. I have a similar cut, but its much cuter if styled and cut CORRECTLY! You don’t have to give up just because you have a kid, girl.
2. Why is she wearing a long horn belt buckle when she KNOWS she will be carrying a toddler? That thing is going to poke at the least and could actually be painful if she isn’t careful. I believe in “pain for beauty”, but the toddler didn’t sign up for that thing!
Wooooah, when did she and Kate Gosselin morph into the same person?!
You know what’s really sad? That people actually believe thi crap. How sad.
That people actually believe this crap.
Fixed.
OMG doesn’t she pay people to tell her NOT to do that to her hair??? She looks like a very aging diva, not a semi-successful late 20s early 30s actress.
