THE UGLY TRUTH
In theaters April 3
Playing an uptight singleton with a list of boyfriend requirements made Katherine Heigl realize an ugly truth about herself: she once did the same thing. ''I was like, 'Oh my god, I had a checklist, too. This is so sad,''' she says. ''I didn't even realize that I was doing that.'' But the similarities stop there: In the film, directed by Robert Luketic (Legally Blonde), Heigl plays a morning-show producer who—thanks to a bet—finds herself following love advice from her chauvanistic co-worker (Gerard Butler). ''They embark on this ridiculous pairing of two people who are from polar opposite sides of the issue,'' Heigl says. ''The whole men are from Mars, women are from Venus thing.'' But Heigl cautions fans to not expect Truth to be as sugar-coated as her last rom-com, 27 Dresses. ''It's not so soft, and everything isn't so perfect,'' she says. ''This movie was just a little more edgy...enough to make it at least more interesting to the guys who take their girlfriends.''
