"I'm just the husband, I'm not the manager," the singer tells Us

Body

Singer Josh Kelley has learned to steer clear of wife Katherine Heigl's controversies.

"I'm just the husband, I'm not the manager," he told Usmagazine.com in an interview last week.

Asked whether the 29-year-old Grey's Anatomy star will stay on the show, he told Us: "I don't get in her business with all that kind of stuff."

And the 28-year-old singer told Us that "people [made] a big deal out of nothing" when Heigl pulled herself out of consideration for an Emmy nomination.

"It's still not my business," he said. "I just stayed out of it so I don't know."

Kelley revealed that married life is "great.

"We're rocking and rolling," he told Us.

He also said now that they're married, "the jealousy is gone" when she does love scenes with co-star Jeffrey Dean Morgan.

Are kids on their horizon?

"It's something that I'm sure will happen when it happens," he said.

Kelley will appear on Ovation TV's Bonefish Grill's Notes from the
Road, airing August 14.

"I love entertaining people," Kelley said. "I love to be the life of the party, the life of the show, but making music is such a drug and I could never give up."

The crooner explained that musicians today need to be multitalented.

"I'm sick and tired of tortured artist – It's so lame," he said. "You know, the 2008 model of an artist or a singer-songwriter needs to be talented, funny, needs to be a businessman or woman, you've got to have it all now."

Shonda Rimes: Not "Insulted" by Katherine Heigl's Emmy Comments

"She is outspoken," the Grey's Anatomy creator says

Body

Grey's Anatomy star Katherine Heigl, 29, withdrew herself from Emmy contention, saying that she didn't feel she was "given the material this season to warrant an Emmy nomination-" but show creator Shonda Rhimes says there are no hard feelings.

"I didn't feel insulted," Rhimes told reporters Thursday during an ABC TCA panel in Los Angeles. "I have a wonderful working relationship with Katherine, and Izzy is one of my favorite characters. So, [when I heard her comment] it was surprising."

Rhimes added,"But Katie is an outspoken person and I think we all knew that already.

But according to a source, in response to Heigl’s griping, staffers are considering giving her character, Dr. Izzie Stevens, a fatal brain tumor.

“[Producer] Shonda [Rhimes] and the writers are pissed at her,” the source told the new issue of Us Weekly. “It’s their way of screwing with her. She won’t know whether she’s going to live or die.”

Rhimes told reporters at TCA, "Storywise we have a really great story worked out that we're all very excited about. And things are going fine."

But Ugly Betty creator Silvio Horta has other ideas.

“I would have put her in a coma,” Ugly Betty creator Silvio Horta joked about reports that Heigl's will get a fatal brain tumor.

At Wednesday's Television Critics Association’s annual fall preview, ABC entertainment president Stephen McPherson insisted Heigl is "absolutely staying with the show. There's an unbelievable storyline this season."

The show returns September 25 with a two-hour premiere.

Katherine Heigl's Character May Get Fatal Brain Tumor on Grey's

ABC also confirms Jeffrey Dean Morgan's return as Denny Duquette

Body

Katherine Heigl could be killed off Grey's Anatomy next season, a well-placed source tells Us Weekly in its latest issue.

The idea came after Heigl, 29, withdrew herself from Emmy contention, saying that she didn’t feel she was “given the material this season to warrant an Emmy nomination.”

In response to Heigl’s griping, staffers are considering giving her character, Dr. Izzie Stevens, a brain tumor.

“[Producer] Shonda [Rhimes] and the writers are pissed at her,” the source tells Us. “It’s their way of screwing with her. She won’t know whether she’s going to live or die.”

Still, there’s good news for fans sad to see Izzie suffer: newly single Jeffrey Dean Morgan will reprise his role as hunky patient Denny Duquette, whom Izzie will see in visions brought on by the tumor.

And a second source thinks the story arc, ironically, may not be a bad thing for Heigl: “If her character does get a brain tumor, she’ll probably get an Emmy!”

A rep for ABC tells Us, “We can confirm that [Morgan] will be back, but we are not releasing any further details.”

The show returns September 25 with a two-hour premiere.

The Ugly Betty guest star follows in the footsteps of Katherine Heigl

Body

Lindsay Lohan is following in the footsteps of Katherine Heigl by pulling her name from consideration for this year's Emmy Awards.

Lohan, who made a guest appearance on the season finale of Ugly Betty in May, bowed out in hopes of increasing her chances next year, when she's scheduled to appear in five episodes as a down-on-luck high school pal of Betty's.

"The appearance was brief," a rep for the actress told the Los Angeles Times Tuesday. "We made a decision to wait."

Ugly Betty creator Silvio Horta raved about Lohan to Usmagazine.com in May.

"She was terrific – a pleasure," Horta said. "She came in early and was very pleasant."

Lohan is currently shooting the comedy Labor Pains, in which she plays an assistant who pretends to be pregnant in a desperate attempt to keep her nasty boss from firing her.

(See what Lohan looks like pregnant here.)

"We had a table reading just the other day, and she was great," co-star Creed Bratton told Us. "She was very charming."

Katherine Heigl Drops Out of Emmy Race

"I did not feel that I was given the material this season to warrant a nomination," she says

Body

Grey's Anatomy star Katherine Heigl has taken herself out of the race for this year's Emmy Awards.

"I did not feel that I was given the material this season to warrant an Emmy nomination and in an effort to maintain the integrity of the academy organization, I withdrew my name from contention," Heigl told L.A. Times columnist Tom O' Neil. "In addition, I did not want to potentially take away an opportunity from an actress who was given such materials," she added.

Heigl – who won an Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series last year – isn't one to hold back her feelings.

The actress dubbed her flick Knocked Up "a little sexist," called a Grey's Anatomy plot line a "ratings ploy" and defended T.R. Knight against a homophobic slur from Isaiah Washington.

"I always tell it like it is," Heigl has said.
