America's Sweetheart No Longer! Katherine Heigl Begging Fans To Fund New Flick -- And Not Having Much Luck

Just a few years ago, Katherine Heigl was one of Hollywood's most in-demand actresses, reportedly demanding as much as $15 million to appear in a film. But those days are long gone. Multiple reports of Heigl's bad attitude rubbed many fans the wrong way, and now, producers are asking those same fans to pay for her next film -- and not having much luck.
Producers for the movie Jenny's Wedding, starring Heigl, set up an indiegogo.com webpage last week asking fans for contributions.
"We could really use your help!" Heigl says in a video on the page. "... We really cannot do it without you."
"The money we raise will allow us to elevate our post-production to the highest level," the page claims. "We shot a beautiful movie. We'd like to keep post-production to that same standard."
"Don't fail us," they beg, noting that editing, color correction, sound mixing, music, film festival expenses and more still need to be covered.
