6. Katherine Heigl - Alison Scott

6. Katherine Heigl - Alison Scott

There are some people within the movie industry who believe that Katherine Heigl is a little hard to work with, but is that really the case, or is she just honest about the work she does? The perception of her is largely down to an interview she gave about her part as Alison Scott in 'Knocked Up,' back in 2007. The idea of an interview is to talk up the movie you're in, and give people a reason to want to see it. Heigl took the opposite approach.

In Heigl's own words, the film was 'a little sexist.' She didn't like the fact that her character was portrayed as dull and joyless, whereas Seth Rogen was just a regular guy trying to get on with his life. Perhaps understandably, she felt like the film was unkind to women in general, and so she found it hard to enjoy the film. She's had a long time to reflect on her remarks, and issued a partial apology in 2016, saying she'd intended no disrespect to Rogen or his work. For his part, Rogen accepted the apology with grace.

Due to increased awareness and desire to help the environment, companies have become more committed to eco-friendly food packaging.

For instance, PepsiCo has committed to creating completely recyclable packaging by the year 2025.

Who would have thought that young millennials would be into rum? These barrel-aged, small-batch rums are the latest trend in booze, and now even British companies such as Essexs English Spirit are joining in. The spirit is one of the most popular and versatile forms of alcohol, whether it be sweet or strong, dark or white, neat with ice or served with coke.

Nowadays, people have become more accepting of imperfection; when it comes to fresh produce that is. Imperfect Produce is just one of the grocery delivery companies that serve physically flawed fruits and vegetables. This effort is geared toward reducing waste, and the disfigured foods are often turned into hummus, crisps, and juices.
