Katherine Heigl Broke No More; Coming Back to TV in NBC's State of Affairs; Why Is Katherine Heigl Called `The Most Hated Woman' In Entertainment?

Katherine Heigl is coming back to TV. Katherine will officially be returning to television this fall as NBC has given a series order to her new show "State of Affairs."

Industry execs have said Katherine Heigl is "difficult" and "not worth working with," but is Katherine Heigl doing this because she's broke? The former "Grey's Anatomy" star has filed a $6 million civil lawsuit against Duane Reade for using her name and an unauthorized paparazzi photograph of her in its commercial advertising.

On the new show, Katherine Heigl will play Presidential analyst Charlie Tucker, who also has a personal relationship with the President, played by Alfre Woodward, because her son used to be engaged to Charlie Tucker until he died in a terrorist attack.

Heigl first made her name on TV as Izzie Stevens in "Grey's Anatomy." She won a Primetime Emmy award for that. But the haters still keep hating.

That started when Heigl described the Judd Apatow comedy "Knocked Up," in which she played opposite Seth Rogen, as sexist. She told Vanity Fair the film was "A little sexist. It paints the women as shrews, as humorless and uptight, and it paints the men as lovable, goofy, fun-loving guys." Heigl admitted "it was hard for me to love the movie."

Katherine Heigl sued the Duane Reade for $6 million because the chain posted a paparazzi picture on Twitter and Facebook. The Emmy-award winning actress says Duane Reade Inc., is using the picture of her leaving a New York City branch of the drugstore chain in its promotional materials.

The complaint says Heigl would donate any money she receives from the suit to the Jason Debus Heigl Foundation, which helps find homes for dogs.

Katherine Heigl recently did a voice the animated movie "The Nut Job." She hits the screens next in "North of Hell" with Patrick Wilson and "Jenny's Wedding" with Alexis Bledel and Tom Wilkinson.
