Heigl Helps The Dogs

Katherine Heigl

While Lindsay and Paris are in the news, this week, for all the wrong reasons, Katherine Heigl steps up and gives us all a lesson in being a "class act!"
Earlier today, she pledged $1 million to spay and neuter programs in Los Angeles. Each year 500,000 animals without homes are sheltered and euthanized in California, costing the state $250 million. "What's happening is not only inhumane and morally reprehensible, it's economically irresponsible," Heigl said. "Killing is not a solution."

The project is in association with the Jason Debus Heigl Foundation, which was named after her brother who was killed in a car accident 24 years ago.

The skeptical among us might dismiss this as a rich actress using somebody else's money to promote herself and her new movie, "Life As We Know It."

Ya know - I think we (the studio or someone)may have stumbled on something here!
