(Newser) Grey's Anatomy star and negative-publicity magnet Katherine Heigl is adopting a special-needs Korean baby, RadarOnline reports. The baby's name is Naleigh, and she's 10 months old. The adoption has been in the works for months, and Heigl, whose sister Meg was also adopted from Korea, and hubby Josh Kelley are "so happy," an insider said. In 2007, Heigl told USA Today she's "always planned" to adopt, because having your own kids "doesn't seem like any fun," she said.

@ruserious: you make a good point. I have no reason otherwise to believe Heigl genuinely wants help a child in need. The article claims Heigl has been involved in this adoption process for months. If she wanted publicity for this, why didn't she announce she was looking to adopt months ago?

@youngblood: "do you know what an ad hominem is? It a personal attack. It's a personal attack made by people who have run out of intellectual bullets. And your brain just went 'click'" - Brian Wilson. I'd ask you to think before you comment, but I think we may be past the point of no return with you.
