“There’s this thing where, as a new mother, you’re just constantly going, ‘Am I doing this right?’” admitted our October cover girl Katherine Heigl, who adopted her 20-month-old daughter, Nancy Leigh Mi-Eun (Naleigh), with husband Josh Kelley last September. But despite her early self-doubt, the actress clearly is doing it right, balancing family and a successful career—Heigl’s new film Life As We Know It, which she also executive produced, hits theaters October 8th. Heigl also opened up to us about adoption: “I had spoken to [Josh] about it before we got engaged and because I wanted to make sure we were on the same page—not everybody feels the way I do about adoption,” she said.  “I don’t know why I felt like it was so important for me to do it before we had biological children, but I felt like I had been waiting and dreaming about Naleigh for a long time.” For more on our exclusive interview with Heigl (plus what items she never leaves home without) check out the October Issue of InStyle, on newsstands Friday.

This chick is so into herself and a really horrible actress.

“This chick is so into herself and a really horrible actress.

-I’m so awesome! on September 21st, 2010″

Referring to the above comment:

I’m so awesome!,

You completely contradict yourself when you have a sign on name like “I’m so awesome!” Get over yourself!! Katie Heigl is a very accomplished actress! She doesn’t try to act like someone she is not and she says what she feels. I wish there were more down to earth, reall people like that in the entertainment industry. Why would you even read this article or waste time logging onto this site to comment if you hated her so bad?

-stephanies obsession on September 21st, 2010

She is so full of of of herself. Go put your head in the sand!

-Kate on September 21st, 2010

Thanks for Katherine – and love the shoot. Hope we can see some more pictures. Great choice for the cover.

-Caroline on September 22nd, 2010

I love her! Great choice for the cover! I can’t wait til this hits the stands.

-MissingSeattle on September 22nd, 2010

Uhhhh Stephanies obsession…how do YOU know she’s down to earth? Or “reall”? Or that she doesn’t act like someone she’s not…Oh wait. You don’t. She’s an actor…they pretend to be a lot of things…including “down to earth”.

-katie l. on September 22nd, 2010

What is it that you all don’t like about her? Her acting ability? Her comments (though it was then written by a reporter – so who knows if the reporter got 100% right or not) OR that she Adopted? I am not an actor, nor famous, but strickly middle american…. I too Adopted!!! It is NOT for everyone, but for some it is the BEST! Every individual has their own reasons. Look at it as another Child has a parent or two and more then they did before this Heart Journey started!!! If you ever want to understand…. take a trip to a 3rd world country. It is heart wrenching to say the least. I do realize that we have many children here (US) that needs homes. This was not for me. It does not make me a bad person…. All Children are God’s Children and deserve a home, love, nourturing and a Chance!

-Calliope on September 22nd, 2010

Adoption is NOT for me!!! I doubt having kids is for me. But i will say this, i believe that others should respect another’s belief. Regardless of how messed up or crazy it sounds. She adopted and I hope she adopts more. That way my tax dollars aren’t going to another kid. This kid will be loved, educated, and very well taken care of. I really don’t care if she is down to earth, I don’t care if she is a good or bad actress, I REALLY don’t care because it doesn’t effect my life.

-Kaitlin on September 22nd, 2010

I want that dress…. !

-Paola Erazo on September 22nd, 2010

I don’t like her because she’s 1. Bossy 2. Buts into things that aren’t her affair 3. Seems(based on her own comments) to have a higher opinion of her acting ability than is strickly warranted. I think we can all agree she’s beautiful and adoption is wonderful but that’s all. None of that means she’s a great person or a great actress.

-Tiffany H on September 22nd, 2010

Just another example of a very bad actress trying to save her body for her career. Trying to be the good doer of this world when it is so clear she is not. I for one am so glad she is no longer on Grey’s. She is one of the worst actress in Hollywood. She gets by on her looks and by the time she is say 40 ish she will be gone…………..

-MAW on September 22nd, 2010

I’m not sorry, Heigl you are a horrible actress and need to find something else. It is too bad that you are rich because your talents warrant merely a $100,000 salary performing for television commercials. You are awful at acting; proven by Grey’s Anatomy and your various flop movies.

-Phil on September 22nd, 2010

I’m guessing that her decision to adopt came more from being raised with an adopted sibling (her older sister was born in Korea) than a vain desire to save her body from the perils of pregnancy. I come from the same background, and our parents were always clear that there are a lot of ways to form a family, biology being just one. Your family is your family, whether or not you share a gene pool. I’ve only seen KH in one film so I can’t substantially gauge her acting skills, and I don’t know her personally so I can’t say if she’s a nice person or not – but she and her husband went to great effort and expene to give a child a home, and I have to respect that.

-Carmen on September 22nd, 2010

I love Katherin Heigl……..

-SUNNY on September 23rd, 2010

Terrible actress. Every movie it’s the same role – smart, sassy, single chick with trouble finding love. She has no range and doesn’t know how to do any other types of movies… like Jennifer Aniston, but fifteen years younger.

-dmoney on September 23rd, 2010

I hate that she is on another cover. I’m sick of her.

Please put someone on the cover who is actually beautiful like Evangeline Lilly.

-Natalie on September 23rd, 2010

I want this dress too. Tried finding it online and can’t. Any help?

-kerry on September 26th, 2010

I think Katherine is beautiful and a great actress. I like her.

-paranel on September 26th, 2010

She was on Regis & Kelly this morning, wore off white over the knee boots, looking good

She will also be on Letterman tonight

-MN on September 27th, 2010

I love katherine! I think she kindda looks like my cousin. I want her green dress on the cover too!!!!!!!!!!! I also cannot find any info on it! It’s not in the credits or footnotes!!! Someone help! Lol.

-Bridget McDaniel on September 28th, 2010

I can’t speak to her Character, but she has stellar looks. Awesome cover, the Green really works, I love it!!

-Chanz on September 29th, 2010

Though I can speak for her character and she is extremely nice in person – very genuine, very down to earth, extremely friendly and extremely charming. She is the real deal.

-anon on September 30th, 2010

Where could I find the dress on the cover magazine of In Style of October that Katherin Heigi is wearing. I would really appreciate it someone could get back to me. Thank you.
