Katherine Heigl Furthers Feminist Agenda With Ugly Truth Vibrating-Panties Sequence
After setting the record straight to Vanity Fair about her Knocked Up experience -- pressed as she was under the cruel thumb of its Apatowian patriarchal hierarchy -- it's something of a relief to see Katherine Heigl using her newfound box office clout to forward empowering images of women in the roles she chooses. Take for example The Ugly Truth, a Columbia romantic comedy coming out later this month in which she proves a worthy foe to Spartan warrior Gerard Butler in a war of the sexes.
In this preview scene, Heigl's character is gifted with a pair of vibrating panties, which she wears to a business dinner. The remote control rolls out of her purse and into the hands a boy in a restaurant, who then proceeds to dial up an orgasm, all set to a perky track from "Now That's What I Call Rom-Com Stock Music Vol. 16." Though lacking in an expertly delivered Estelle Reiner button to really knock it out of the ballpark, the message reads loud and clear: Women don't need men to be happy; they need 10-year-old Wii experts.

And as a marketing tie-in, the Katherine Heigl Signature Vibrating Underwear line will go on sale Friday... look for them next to the air compressors and belt sanders at your local Sears Craftman Tool Center.
love that 'comingsoon' tag in the upper right hand corner.
Doh! Of course.
I can't wait for the unrated version where she learns the ping-pong ball trick.
Am I to understand that a 10-year old boy just gave Katherine Heigl an orgasm?
Psst, kid -- Josh Kelley would like a word with you.
haha! It's funny cause women can't have orgasms!
This is one of those fake, deliberately unfunny movies from Funny People, right? Where's Adam Sandler?
It really does read like parody. I'd love to hear Judd's reaction to it.
I believe it is spelled "Apatovian."
Her O-Face gives me a stinkface.
Maybe with u they don't. Get real
