Not too, too long ago, I was chatting with the BHK, and he relayed to me something that Steve Czaban had said. For those of you who don't know, Czaban is a radio sports talk guy. Really, he's just a guy. He likes to talk about sports, women, and HDTV. He's the rare non-techie talking head who actually knows a few things about HD, and I don't mind him talking about it. Sometimes, I even enjoy it. That's not the point right now, though. The point is that Czabe was talking about femme-o-the-day acress Katherine Heigl. And what did Czabe have to say about her? "She's not all that."
I was surprised by that take, but I have to admit that she doesn't trip my trigger in the most impressive way. She's certainly attractive and all, but I can see what he was saying, and I told the BHK so. I followed up by saying that I was kind of surprised that Heigl's Grey's Anatomy co-star (and putative leading actress in that particular show), Ellen Pompeo, wasn't able to parlay the show's success into more roles on the Big Screen. I first remember seeing Pompeo play the flavor in Old School, and I thought she was, apart from needing someone to give her a sammich, fairly hot. However, as the BHK pointed out, she's a skosh old to be the new hotness in Hollywood. I countered by saying that I get that, but she seems to have the bigger role, perhaps the more important role, on Grey's. And the BHK came back by saying, "So she's the Anthony Edwards on ER to Heigl's George Clooney." I don't think it could have possibly been summed up any better.

Mike and I think that Ellen Pompeo looks like an old, diseased smoker nowadays. Just our two cents...
Notice that I didn't say that I think Ellen Pompeo is hot now. It's just that I thought she was in Old School. She is looking less good these days, although I think the HD is especially unkind. Still, none of this makes the BHK's point any less on target.
