 Heigl faces "Ugly Truth" with romantic comedy (Reuters)

Katherine Heigl poses with her award for outstanding supporting actress in a drama series for her role in 'Grey's Anatomy' at the 59th Primetime Emmy Awards in Los Angeles, California September 16, 2007. (Lucy Nicholson/Reuters)Katherine Heigl is ready for "The Ugly Truth." The Emmy-winning "Grey's Anatomy" star will headline the romantic comedy as a news producer who is forced to hire an obnoxious self-proclaimed relationship expert for her show. His theories end up helping her get the guy of her dreams.

Robert Luketic will direct the Columbia Pictures release, which is slated for an April 15 start date.

"It's an honest and, at times, ribald exploration of men, women and the complicated relationships they weave," said Luketic, who most recently directed "Monster-in-Law."

Heigl ("Knocked Up") will next be seen in the romantic comedy "27 Dresses," which is scheduled for release early next year.
