Katherine Heigl Lands Another Movie Deal Filed under ( Anne Fletcher, Grey's Anatomy, Katherine Heigl, Step Up )

And given the recent brou-haha over her salary at Grey's Anatomy, it's good for her to branch out, lest she find herself out of a job. Actress Katherine Heigl is going to be starring in the romantic comedy 27 Dresses, as a single woman who has been a bridesmaid ... wait for it ... 27 times.

The director, Anne Fletcher (of Step Up) had this to say, "Katherine is beautiful, so the fact that [her character] can't get a man is shocking! But it's not about her beauty; it's about what she thinks of herself."

Production is set to begin in New York and Rhode Island in May when Katherine goes on hiatus from Grey's Anatomy.
