Katherine Heigl Denies Rumors

A representative for the actress denies rumours that she turned down a role in the film, Valentine’s Day, because producers refused to pay her huge salary.

The Grey’s Anatomy star was supposed to join the cast, which includes Julia Roberts, Jennifer Garner, Anne Hathaway, Jessica Biel and Jessica Alba, in the movie that will be released in 2011.

Heigl asked to be paid 3 million dollars for 14 days of filming. "No other actors asked for nearly that amount," explained PageSix of the New York Post.

"The story is ludicrous. Early negotiations are a daily occurrence in this business, and just for clarification, Katherine walked away from this project for multiple reasons," said her rep.
