Katherine Heigl to leave Grey's?

Perez Hilton is reporting the Katherine Heigl is leaving Grey's anatomy. I have to say, that I thought this had already happened. Not only has she only been in 3 episodes, as Perez mentioned, she barely has a story line. They are obviously writing her off.

My problem, though is that it's not a believable way off. Now, I'm not one to look for realism in television shows. That's not really the point in television but the way Alex broke up with Izzy was totally out of character. If this is her last season and she's barely going to be in it anyway than I don't understand why they didn't just kill her off instead of pulling this bullshit.

I know that many other fans have said that the show is going way down hill with the loss of a good chunk of the original characters such as Burke and George and the addition of many new characters. I've stood by the show though. I like the new characters, with the exception of the new heart surgeon who is sort of Blah. I can't stand by stupid story lines though so if Izzy's character is just going to contribute to those then I can't help but want her gone a little bit.
