Katherine Heigl has made plans to stop puffing on her electronic cigarette long enough to produce and star in her very own HBO movie, called The Knitting Circle. In Craig Wright's adaptation of the best-selling Ann Wood book, Heigl will play the main character -- a woman who is married and eases her grief over the death of her daughter by participating in a knitting circle. Heigl's mother, Nancy, will produce as well, which makes sense considering she also produced two of her daughter's other movies, Life as We Know It and The Ugly Truth. So here's to mother-daughter projects: because if they don't tell the hard stories (like the ones where women find hobbies to cope with an extreme loss, or the ones where a woman finds herself having to talk through her orgasms when she's out to dinner with her friends and family because a particularly vindictive man is controlling the vibration speed of her pearl thong (and he knows just how she likes it)), then who will?
