Katherine Heigl turned 40 and is just a wee bit closer to being buried next to one of those unfortunate souls from her cemetery photoshoot. She’s seems to be taking the whole turning 40 thing in stride. But I believe we are witnessing the first stage of an incoming avalanche named midlife crisis. She says she’s older and wiser but was just taking impromptu selfies at the gravesite where her brother is buried. I’m nowhere near her age, and I didn’t graduate from an Ivy League, but something instinctually tells me photobombing the dead isn’t the best idea. I guess older and wiser for her means using more adult-like filters on her Instagram photos. No Snapchat dog ears for this female Stephen Hawking.
Katherine Heigl says she’s “pretty damn thrilled” to be starting a new decade.
The “Grey’s Anatomy” and “Suits” actress celebrated her 40th birthday on Saturday and marked the occasion with an Instagram post that seemed to suggest a renewed lease on life.
“For another thing 40 feels to me like a certain kind of freedom,” she wrote. “Freedom from all the self doubt, insecurities, self loathing, uncertainties and anxieties of my 20s and 30s. Not to say I don’t still have those moments but I just feel like 40 makes me older and wiser.”
There are reserved seats in the hatred section of my heart for individuals that feel it’s necessary to write more than a few words for an Instagram caption. Heigl wrote an autobiographical novel in her’s for her obligatory big 4-0 photos. Bohemian Mother Mary statues, a charcuterie board equipped with fancy spread, an amount of lit candles littered all over her house that suggests she refuses to acknowledge Thomas Edison’s contributions to mankind, and some spiel about how age is just a number. I’m not sure if she’s celebrating 40 or secured a sponsorship with Pier One since the cinematic side of her life slowed down. #ad.
