Judy Greer reveals what she plans to change ahead of her 50th birthday
Judy Greer "doesn't want to make any changes" in her life just because she is turning 50. The '27 Dresses' star - who has been married to TV executive producer Dean E. Johnsen and is stepmother to his two children - will celebrate her milestone birthday in July and joked that she is "kind of boring" so she is just planning on going on a trip with her family to mark the occasion. She told PEOPLE: "I'm taking a trip with my family. I guess I'm kind of boring. Everything in my life is really nice and really good, and I'm really happy, so I kind of just don't want to make any changes." Throughout the course of her career, Judy has become known for her roles in films such as '13 Going On 30' and 'Jawbreaker' but admitted as she moved towards the end of her forties that while she felt "very lucky" to be working, there was still a "long way to go" in terms of providing actresses her age across the board with "better" things to do. She said: "I'm very lucky to be an actress in my 40s right now because there are great roles for us.' 'There are great directors and writers out there, and so I think that we're just getting served better material than those women were when I was in my 20s. There's a long way to go. Please don't get me wrong, but it's a start and I'll take it!" Judy can now be seen in the Apple+ sports comedy series 'Slick' and stars alongside Owen Wilson, Peter Dager, Marc Maron, Mariana Treviño, Lilli Kay and Timothy Olyphant. The synopsis reads: "After the collapse of his marriage [to Greer's character Amber-Linn] and getting fired from his job at an Indiana sporting goods store, ex-pro golfer Pryce Cahil hedges his bets, and future, entirely on a troubled 17-year-old golf phenom named Santi [Dager]."

Katherine Heigl Shares Why She's Grateful Her Daughters Aren't Interested in ‘Grey's Anatomy' (Exclusive)
Katherine Heigl isn't concerned about her daughters' lack of interest in Grey's Anatomy — in fact, that's just fine by her. The Firefly Lane star, 46, opened up about why she's actually grateful for the fact Naleigh, 16, and Adalaide, 13, don't want to watch the series at this point in their lives while chatting exclusively with Parade amid her partnership with Poise. 🎬 SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox 🎬 'My youngest, my son [Joshua, 8], he's like, 'I don't get it.' I'm like, 'Don't worry about it.' My daughters, yes, but they've never seen the show,' Heigl says. 'And I think I said something to Naleigh, my oldest, I said, 'If you want to watch it, I'll watch it with you.' And she was like, 'No. I really don't.' And I was like, 'Okay, that's fine. I get it.' But I know that a lot of kids of her generation are watching it, so I didn't want her to feel like she's not allowed.' She adds: 'Quite frankly, it's just kind of awkward. I don't know. There's a lot of sex on that show, and I think that's weird to watch with my 16 year old, especially when it's me! I mean, I will watch if that's important to [her], but I'm kind of glad it's not.' Despite her kids' disinterest in the long-running medical drama, the Emmy winner tells Parade that she carries a part of her character — along with some of her medical knowledge — with her every day. Heigl famously portrayed Dr. Izzie Stevens for six seasons before exiting the series in 2010. 'I do think I'd still be good at sutures,' she says. 'I do because that's like a muscle memory thing, and we had to do a lot of that. Not on real people, but, I think I could give it a go. If anybody needs that, I'll give it a shot.' In addition to speaking about her Grey's knowledge, Heigl got candid about some of the symptoms she started experiencing after giving birth — like bladder leaks — which made her partnership with Poise a no-brainer. 'Post-pregnancy … the old bladder was not working the same. I actually had a cesarean because Joshua was breech and had a really big head,' she explains. 'But that is its own slew of postpartum issues and healing. Everything could have changed, just even the way my hips went back into place changed, you know? I do think we need to be more honest with each other about it. I had no idea.' Heigl also tells Parade all about the Jason Heigl Foundation, which was founded by her and her mom, Nancy Heigl, in 2008 and is dedicated to animal welfare and ending abuse. 'We could always donate to the big foundations and stuff, but we had some specific ideas about where we wanted to see that money go,' she explains. 'So we figured, let's start our own foundation and really try to make the impact that we believe is possible. We're very, very passionate.'

Katherine Heigl opens up about suffering from 'anxiety' as a parent of two teenagers
Katherine Heigl feels a lot of "anxiety" as a parent of two teenagers. The 46-year-old actress has daughters Naleigh, 15, and Adalaide, 13, as well as eight-year-old Joshua with her husband Josh Kelley and doesn't feel as "in control" as she once did with her eldest two. She told PEOPLE: "It really increases your anxiety and your fear as a parent. "You are not as in control as you were when they were little, where you had all the power of keeping them safe and guiding choices. They are their own little people now and they really have their own minds and they're going through it. It's a tumultuous time. "Now that Adelaide's 13, they're both into makeup, they're both into this TikTok dance and that TikTok dance. "They're spending more time together, but that can also go south." However, the former 'Grey's Anatomy' actress does not get involved in the conflict between her two girls because she feels that they have to "work it out" themselves. She said: "I do not try to interfere or navigate or referee. I walk out the room, I'm like, 'They'll work it out.' And they always do. They're very close, but they're teenage girls. They're going to fight." The '27 Dresses' star feels a particular "shame" whenever she loses her cool as a parent and had to say sorry to her children when she did it recently, She said: "My most shameful moments as a parent are when I lose my temper. And I recently did and had to apologize.! Most of all, Katherine just wants to be the "right mother" for her children so that she can set a good example for them when they themselves eventually become adults. She added: "My prayer every night is that I am the right mother for each of my children and their individual needs so that when they get to be adults, they can go slay their own dragons."

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."

Katherine Heigl faces 'a different fight' in Hollywood
Katherine Heigl has accepted she won't be "the ingenue forever". The 46-year-old actress achieved many of her career ambitions during her 20s, when she starred in movies such as 'Knocked Up', 'The Ugly Truth' and '27 Dresses' - but Katherine accepts that she's now entered a new chapter in her life. The Hollywood star told Us Weekly: "I wasn't thinking about [ageing] in my 20s, right? In my 20s, I was sort of at the height of my career, and I was getting to do all the roles I had always wanted to be able to do. "I started as a child actor but by the time I got into my mid to late teens, you know, I was dying to be the romantic lead. I was dying to do some comedy. So I was so excited and on cloud nine getting to do what I had been sort of hustling to do for so many years. And you don't think about the expiration date on it." Katherine concedes that she's now entered a different phase in her career. The actress explained: "When I turned 40 I realised, 'Oh, that's pretty much over.' Like, there's a young generation that's coming up and I had my time and it was glorious, and it's kind of done now. "And not to say that I can't be the romantic lead in something at 46 - that women in their 40s don't have a romantic love life or that they aren't funny or that, you know, they can't be the lead of a story. Of course they can. "I am still the star of my own life. I find it interesting and compelling. I feel like others would, as well. And I feel like so many women in their 40s and 50s and 60s have compelling, interesting lives that we'd all be interested in seeing. "So 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."
