New Photos Released on Heigl's Site

Marcia, Marcia, Marcia.

Katherine Heigl always has to be the center of attention, so of course she found a way to upstage her Grey's Anatomy co-star and mom-to-be Ellen Pompeo who looks like she's due about five minutes from now.

Heigl and hubby Josh Kelley skipped the whole nine-month gestation period and weird cravings and instead adopted a 10-month-old Korean baby.

Photos of the new family, in a cuddly embrace, were released on Heigl's website:

"Katherine and Josh have named their daughter Nancy Leigh and she will go by the nickname Naleigh. She is named after Katherine's mother Nancy and Katherine's sister Margaret Leigh. Katherine, Josh and Naleigh are together and doing well."

Now, not getting knocked up with multiples for ratings and a paycheck is normally cause for celebration. But this is Katherine "bite the hand that feeds you" Heigl we're talking about here.

We know it's kind of terrible to say, but she's been getting a lot of bad publicity lately. Not Kanye West bad but still, none of it's been good. And suddenly she decides to adopt a totally adorable baby? Who also happens to be special needs? Nice to know that they're categorizing I have a bitch for a mom, as special needs now. Color us cynical, but Heigl's new addition is the perfect get-out-of-jail-free-card for her "beeyotch please" behavior.

Someone about to rip into her for copping attitude about her film schedule? *Bam, whip out the cute baby pictures!*

An interviewer starts asking about her being a whiny pain in the arse ... *Wait, I have to tell you about the totally adorable thing Naleigh did the other day!*

And if you thought Kate Gosselin's womb of entitlement and unsolicited opinions was annoying, just wait until the warm glow of motherhood gives way to Heigl's "I'm better than you are because I adopted rather than indulging a selfish desire to repopulate the planet with a bunch of mini-mes. And, I'd like to point out for the 100th time, Brangelina don't have a child with special needs. I'm such a martyr. Where's my halo?"

But Asian babies are so 2005. Everyone knows African kids are where it's at these days. Heigl would probably have been better off learning to just STFU and buying a classic accessory like the Hermès Birkin bag or a nice pair of Christian Louboutin heels. Unlike the Asian urchin, those things never go out of style.

Or need to be fed at 3am.

It'll be hard to be around such a loud, whiny, grasping, funny-smelling attention seeker to begin with, but we're sure the baby will get used to it after a year or two.
