Body of Work: Katherine Heigl's Hottest Roles

Here's a riddle: What do you get when you take one of Hollywood's most buxom blond actresses, give her a gun, and put her next to Ashton Kutcher? No, the answer isn't a taping of Punk'd gone wrong. We are, of course, talking about Killers, the new comedy starring Katherine Heigl as a swooning, innocent girl who unknowingly marries a covert CIA agent (Kutcher). OK, not everybody loves Mr. Demi Moore, but we're certainly excited by the thought of a gun-toting Katherine Heigl getting to work out her trigger finger. And it's not the first time she's been bangin' either! Go back in time with Complex and check out all of Katherine Heigl's hottest roles...

Bride of Chucky

BRIDE OF CHUCKY, 1998

Who would've thought back in '98 that the leading lady in Bride of Chucky would go on to become one of our favorite actresses? What they say about show business must be true: Sometimes you've gotta play with little pricks to get bigger roles.

100 Girls

100 GIRLS, 2000

It's hard not to think about our first time having sex after watching this comedy about a freshman who loses his virginity to a mystery girl in a dormitory elevator during a power outage. However, unlike the movie, the power worked just fine when we lost our V-card. And no matter how hard we scrub, we'll never forget the name Bubbles.

Valentine

VALENTINE, 2001

Our only complaint about Valentine, a movie about a boy who's humiliated during prom only to come back years later to kill his classmates, is that Katherine is the first to get iced. What kind of director kills off the best talent first? You don't slice Katherine up, fool, you pipe that!

Side Effects

SIDE EFFECTS, 2005

Similar to Aaron Eckhart in Thank You For Smoking, Heigl's character in Side Effects is the marketing rep for a major pharmaceutical company. Which makes us happy because nothing sweetens the deal more than a girl who knows her drugs.

The Ringer

THE RINGER, 2005

We admit, we've acted like retards in the pursuit of buns, but at least we've never pretended to actually be retarded so we could G off on the Special Olympics, like Johnny Knoxville does in this comedy starring Heigl as a volunteer and love interest. That would require a truly "special" brand of asshole.

Caffeine

CAFFEINE, 2006

You already know we're suckers for chicks in glasses. So of course we polished our spectacles when we saw Katherine Heigl looking like a librarian in this off-color comedy about sex and baristas. Watch out for that piping hot drip!

Knocked Up

KNOCKED UP, 2007

Childbirth is a beautiful thing, but it's even more beautiful when Katherine Heigl is the mother and her already ample bosoms are amplifying. If only she'd actually had a child we could add her to our famed list of MILFs. Guess we'll just have to settle for non-surgically reconstructed vagina.

27 Dresses

27 DRESSES, 2008

Heigl drew comparisons to Julia Roberts for her role in this rom-com about a lovelorn bridesmaid. Which makes us wonder: When is Katherine going to make like Julia and land the coveted role of a hooker with a heart of gold already???

The Ugly Truth

THE UGLY TRUTH, 2009

As a sexually repressed morning show producer, Heigl gets into a battle of the sexes with one of her male cast members who claims he has women figured out. Of course in the end she falls for him, which only strengthens our case: Assholes always get the girl.

Grey's Anatomy

GREY'S ANATOMY, 2005-2010

Despite all of her movie roles, Katherine Heigl is probably best known for her five-season bid on Grey's Anatomy. And even though she's left primetime TV for bigger and better projects, it warms our heart to know there's a little bit of nurse inside her.
