Katherine Heigl's kids are 'very unimpressed' by her success
Katherine Heigl's children are "unimpressed" by her career.
The 46-year-old actress has enjoyed significant success in Hollywood, starring in movies such as 'Knocked Up', '27 Dresses' and 'The Ugly Truth' - but Katherine's kids are underwhelmed by her career achievements.
The blonde beauty - who has Naleigh, 16, Adalaide, 13, and Joshua, eight, with husband Josh Kelley - told Us Weekly: "Adalaide is very unimpressed with my acting career. She finds it gives her the ick.
"No one's more humbling than a teenage daughter, I'll tell you that. They're at those ages where kids can be real jerks, right? And say crappy things. And they asked me like, 'Well, does it bother you if people tell you you're a dumb blonde?' And I was like, 'No, because I know I'm not.' And Adalaide went, 'You're not a blonde?' And I was like, 'No, Adalaide, I'm not dumb.'"
Katherine starred on 'Grey's Anatomy' between 2005 and 2010, but she would feel "awkward" watching the TV show with her children.
She said: "I've said to Naleigh, she's 16 now, 'If you want to watch it, you can.' And she's like, 'No, I'm good.' I'm like, 'OK, I'd prefer not to watch this with you'.
"'I feel like it would just be so awkward for both of us. There's a lot of sex in the show and my character's doing plenty of it. So I'd rather not, quite frankly, but I will if it's important to you.' And she's like, 'No, I'm good.' I'm like, 'Yeah, maybe in your 20s.'"
Meanwhile, Katherine recently acknowledged that she won't be "the ingenue forever".
The actress achieved many of her career ambitions during her 20s - but Katherine accepts that she's now entered a new chapter in her life.
The Hollywood star told Us Weekly: "It's not to say, like, 'Oh, you can't do that anymore.' It's going to be very different. You're not the ingenue, and the ingenue is really a valuable role in Hollywood. And it's sort of, as you get older, you have to fight and say, 'Yes, but I am still a value and it might look different and it might feel different, but trust me, the story's worth telling.' It's a different fight."

Ellen Pompeo is 'big into serums and oils'
Ellen Pompeo is "big into serums and oils" now she's in her mid-50s. The 'Grey's Anatomy' star - who will celebrated her 56th birthday in November - is a brand ambassador for skincare company Meaningful Beauty, and she is a fan of its Youth Activating Melon Serum Advanced Formula. Reflecting on her beauty regime when she's flying, Ellen told Travel + Leisure: 'That's always been my go-to in this line. "And I put the melon serum on first, and then I put oil over it when I travel. I'm really big into serums and oils at this age." Usually, she starts her day with a sauna and cold plunge at home, and she tries to make her routine work when she's on the road. She added: "I'll try to look for hotels with saunas. Not everybody has a cold plunge. Cold plunges are a relatively, you know, sort of bougie, new thing. "I think most of these older hotels don't have it, but a cold shower, I think, does the same.' Ellen recently opened up about ageing, and dismissed the idea that characters are limited for older stars. She told El Pais: "When you're really young in Hollywood, you're hired for your talent, but also for your beauty. "They're not hiring you for your beauty at 50 years old, they're hiring you for your complexity and your talent alone. "Certainly, women are more complex as they get older, and so are the roles." The star is one of the best-paid actresses on television thanks to her role in 'Grey's Anatomy', although she still thinks there is a long way to go for women in the industry as she was earning less than her co-star Patrick Dempsey for several years. She said: "I think that it takes all of us women standing up for each other and supporting one another. "I've had so many women be so kind to me and supportive of me, and I have tried to do the same for other women. "I don't think I alone have done anything, I'm part of a group of extraordinarily talented women in Hollywood, and collectively, we have to come together to learn to use our voices more."

Ellen Pompeo detained 'for an hour' by TSA and bomb squad for bizarre reason
Ellen Pompeo was detained by the TSA and "bomb squad" over a "bag of sunflower seeds". The 'Grey's Anatomy' actress has revealed an awkward moment at the airport recently when she set off the alarms and the Transportation Security Administration pulled her in for questioning before she could board her flight. She told Travel + Leisure magazine: "I had a bag of sunflower seeds, like organic sunflower seeds from Erewhon, so they were probably the most expensive sunflower seeds money can buy. "They literally held me for an hour, and they brought the bomb squad in. And I was like, what is happening? Is this a joke? "They said it was most likely a chemical on the packaging of these super expensive, fancy, organic, clean sunflower seeds. My protein on the plane!' The 55-year-old star revealed she offered to throw the snack away, but the TSA apparently told her to wait for the bomb squad to arrive to assess the unopened bag. She added: "'I almost missed the flight. It was really like no one would ever believe this! "I was texting my publicist saying, 'I might not get on this plane, and you're never gonna guess why.' " Despite the awkward moment, Ellen opened up about her love for travelling, although she explained how she tries to keep mer morning sauna routine going when she's away from Los Angeles. She said: "I'll try to look for hotels with saunas. "Not everybody has a cold plunge. Cold plunges are a relatively, you know, sort of bougie, new thing. "I think most of these older hotels don't have it, but a cold shower, I think, does the same.' Meanwhile, Ellen recently took aim at streamers for "unfair" treatment towards actors in the way residual payments are structured. She told Variety: "Them having the ability to use my voice, my likeness, my image, 47 billion minutes a year and not paying me a penny wouldn't really feel great to me. 'People don't stream the last 10 years more than they stream the first 10 years. Most people stream the first 10 years the most, and there's no residual structures for any of those writers, actors, directors. "That, to me, is really s***** and really unfair. So, me being on the show a little bit and still getting to at least make money from them profiting off of us is more digestible for me. That's why I stay on, to be honest.'
