Katherine Heigl Can Kick Your Ass

Get the bruising scoop on the former Grey's Anatomy star's new movie

Don't mess with Katherine Heigl.

The former Grey's Anatomy star whoops a lot of ass in her upcoming movie One for the Money…

"She beats me up!" says John Leguizamo, who plays a boxing manager in the flick, an adaptation of the first novel in Jane Evanovich's best-selling Stephanie Plum series about a female bounty hunter (Heigl). "She beats up some other dude. She beats up her love interest. She beats everybody up."

Not that Leguizamo is complaining. "I kind of like it," he laughs. "Does that make me weird?"

The funnyman actor wrapped Money last month in Pittsburgh. Cameras are about to start rolling on his autobiographical pic, Fugly.

Leguizamo admits he wasn't the most attractive child. His was teased—a lot—growing up in Jackson Heights, New York. "There was, 'Ugly, ugly bo ugly, banana fanana fo fugly, fee fi fo mo fugly,' " he remembers. "All kinds of stuff."

Leguizamo recently launched a contest on UrbanoTV.com for a fellow former fugly to be in the movie when he reenacts some of his stand-up. "If somebody's cool enough and brave enough to upload a video of themselves from then and then one from now, whoever has the farthest trajectory, I will bring onstage and roast you," he says.

He'll even consider people who have gone under the plastic surgery knife. "If you look good and we can't tell, then that works," Leguizamo said. "But if you've done too much and you look silly, then you haven't changed enough and you're still fugly."
