(Dec. 10) - With her off-screen best friend leaving the show and her on-screen love affair with a dead guy (which is due to a brain aneurysm-like ailment), how much time does Katherine Heigl have left on 'Grey's Anatomy'?

The actress is a bonafide box office star, with 'Knocked Up' and '27 Dresses' under her belt. She also is one of the highest paid actresses in Hollywood, commanding $6 million a film.

Heigl also angered the 'Anatomy' writers when she dramatically announced her decision to pull out of the race for the 2008 Emmys, despite being a winner in 2007, due to a lack of storyline on 'Grey's.'

Furthermore, since T.R. Knight -- her BFF and man of honor at her wedding -- reportedly asked to leave the series, what more does Katherine have keeping her on set?

Now that we know that Izzy will turn out to be sick on the show, will she go into the light with her deceased fiance Denny, allowing Heigl to pursue other projects? We think so.
