Katherine Heigl called ‘hypocrite’ by co-stars

After being hosed by the critics for her plywood performance in ‘Ugly Truth’ and becoming the focus of scathing whispers from both ‘Grey’s co-workers and friends for her diva-like ways, it seems Seth Rogen and Jud Apatow, Katherine Heigl’s co-star and director from her dismal 2007 showing in Apatow’s ‘Knocked Up.’ are eager to join her long list of non-fans.

The comedic pair are upset that Kate denounced the movie as ‘sexist’ in a Vanity Fair interview at the time it came out, and they made their feelings quite clear yesterday on the Howard Stern show. In the article, Kate said the movie “paints women as shrews, while the men look lovable.” In reply, Seth critiqued Kate’s current outing in ‘Ugly Truth’;

“That movie looks like it really puts women on a pedestal,” he told Us magazine, with evident sarcasm, “I hear there’s a scene where she’s wearing underwear…with a vibrator in it? I fail to see how that’s ‘uplifting’ for women.”

But Judd was more empathetic about the ‘Vanity’ piece; “She was probably doing six hours of interviews, then just got tired and slipped a bit,” he suggested. Seth didn’t see it that way, “I didn’t slip and I was doing f-ing interviews all day too!”

But Judd recalls Katie’s time with the movie as remarkably different from what she described, “We never had a problem while filming,” he remembers. “She could not have been cooler.” But he seems quite relaxed about Kate’s biting remarks. “You’d think at some point I’d get a call saying ‘Sorry, I was tired’…but the call never comes,’” he said.

For his part, Seth says he’s not hurt by the comments, as Kate has since gained quite a rep for putting folks down, “It’s not like we’re the only people she said some bat s*** crazy things about,” he said. “That’s kind of her bag now.”
