Newbie Blogger Katherine Heigl Gets Real About Juggling Career and Motherhood
Look out world, Katherine Heigl is blogging! At least she's realistic about the years of counseling her daughter will probably require after growing up with famous parents: "Now when I take a job, I look my daughter in the eye, screw up my courage and try to explain to her that Mommy has to go to work. And when she looks back at me and says, “But why?,” I tell her the truth: that work makes me a better person, a better woman, a better mother. Then I pray to God that she will understand one day and that my example will encourage her to find and follow her bliss as well … after I’ve paid for all the therapy, of course." [iVillage]

Look out Gwenyth Paltrow...someone's bucking for your crown of self-righteousness.
"Now when I take a job, I look my daughter in the eye, screw up my courage and try to explain to her that Mommy has to go to work. And when she looks back at me and says, “But why?,” I tell her the truth: That Mommy gets paid a truckload of money to make mediocre and god awful movies."
. . .Sooooooo, I guess now we know why she didn't get the lead in "How Does She Do It".
I really hate that "follow your bliss" phrase. Irks me up and down.

There's a typo! You need to change "At least she's realistic about the years of counseling her daughter will probably require after growing up with famous parents" to "At least she's realistic about the years of counseling her daughter will DEFINITELY require after growing up with KATHERINE HEIGL". No sweat, spellcheck wouldn't have caught it.
