News Round-up: Heigl, Twitter, 90210, Merna, 7TH

ABC entertainment prez Stephen McPherson chides Heigl
McPherson calls Katherine Heigl’s latest anti-GREY'S tirade “unfortunate,” adding, “People will behave in a way they choose to behave. There are so many people who work unbelievably hard on GREY'S… so I think it’s really hard for them to hear [her complain about working a 17-hour day].”

90210 Zip Code Controversy
A Beverly Hills city councilman says he won't lobby the U.S. Postal Service to remove the famous 90210 zip code from an area of adjacent Los Angeles. Councilman John Mirisch had wanted the Los Angeles section, known as the "Beverly Hills Post Office Area," to get a new code. Mirisch says sharing the 90210 zip code, made famous by the 1990s TV show, occasionally caused confusion for police, fire or ambulance crews. His fellow council members opposed the plan and Mirisch tells the Los Angeles Times, "I think it's pretty dead."

7TH FLOOR WEST on LATE NIGHT

  1. O.K. Can Grey's finally bring back Dr. Burke/Isaiah Washington? The guy has done every thing humanly possible to redeem himself.

    Meanwhile, Heigl and what's-his-name who just left Grey's have been ungrateful, whining jerks. Jeez, T.R. Knight and crying girl are always complaining for people making/mad $3 million a year.

    I'd rather have a recovered, redeemed former asshat working at Grey's that this complainer. I know a ton of people (including most of the cast of Guiding Light would love to have Heigl's problem).

    It's not like Heigl or Knight faced losing their homes (like many GL actors and crew might be) or had bosses who were deliberately cruel and abusive.
