Katherine Heigl gets a hiatus from Grey’s Anatomy. It seems that Katherine has been wanting to break with the show for a couple years now and she got her wish. But this one isn’t permanent.

More pictures of Katherine after the cut…

The show is going on hiatus soon, so Katherine picked up a movie in the meantime. Katherine has made no secret that she wants to get out of TV and in to the silver screen permanently. Her break with the show might be longer than normal, however, to fit her movie in. From People Magazine:

“Katherine is taking time off to film a movie. The producers at Grey’s have accommodated past things like that before. It’s a cast of 13 and it is a true ensemble so the show is mindful [of other commitments].”

OK, so that sounds legit. And Ellen Pompeo will be off on maternity leave too, so they might as well all get a break! Have you still been tuning in to Grey’s or has it lost its luster?
