Recent Emmy winner Katherine Heigl will star in "The Ugly Truth" from the folks behind "Legally Blonde."

The Lakeshore Entertainment production and future Columbia release will begin shooting in mid-April, with "Blonde" helmer Robert Luketic directing from a script rewritten by "Blonde" scribes Karen McCullah Lutz and Kristen Smith.

According to the industry trades, Heigl will play a news producer who hires a crackpot relationship expert as on-air talent for her show, only to discover that his theories really work.

Luketic most recently directed the hit comedy "Monster-in-Law."

Heigl starred in the summer comedy smash "Knocked Up." The "Grey's Anatomy" co-star has the Fox Atomic romantic comedy "27 Dresses" in the can. Her feature credits include "My Father the Hero" and the notoriously low-grossing "Zyzzyx Rd."
