Katherine Heigl, who has dyed her hair darker, brought along her hubby-to-be, Josh Kelley, to the LA premiere of her new comedy movie Knocked Up. Katherine was in a great mood, goofing around on the red carpet, and proudly showing off her gorgeous engagement ring.

In a new interview with USA Today, Katherine Heigl, 28, discusses the fallout of the infamous feud and whether she thinks Isaiah Washington should return to work next season. The actress, who’s new film Knocked Up opens June 1, also opens up about her own past pregnancy scares and her hopes to adopt a child one day. Excerpts from the interview below:

Q: Ever thought you were knocked up?
A: ” No, I’ve never had a real pregnancy scare. I’ve had paranoid panic attacks. I’ve always been very, very careful because for me, it’s not something I’d want to have just happen. I would like it to be planned. But there have been those moments where, if I’m just even half a day late, I’m like, ‘ What’s going on?? Noooo! ‘”

Q: Your Knocked Up character has a truly gruesome birthing scene. And you were in the delivery room with your older sister, Meg. That at all impact your decision to have kids of your own?

A: “Oh, yeah. I’ve always planned to adopt anyway, but that definitely reinforced my want to. I’m done with the whole idea of having my own children. (It) doesn’t seem like any fun. I don’t think it’s necessary to go through all of that.”

Q: What has been the fallout of all the drama over that homophobic slur used by Isaiah Washington and you coming to the defense of T.R. Knight?
A: “I was ultimately grateful that it opened up a dialogue. To me, I wasn’t making a political stand. I was making a stand about hurting people’s feelings. It’s very simple in my mind. You do not actively seek to hurt other people’s feelings. I don’t care what their sexual orientation, race or gender. You don’t do that. We are all human beings, part of the human race, and we need to be compassionate and giving and kind with one another. Enough with the Michael Richards. Enough with the Mel Gibson. Enough with this. It’s disgusting. The world is still very bigoted. Go see Borat. I didn’t laugh during that movie. I cried. I was horrified.”

Q: What do you think of Washington’s PSA?
A: “What PSA?”

People Magazine named Katherine Heigl one of the most beautiful women of 2007.

“Hair to me is not a priority. All I ever do is throw it in a bun,” admits the Grey’s Anatomy star, 28. “The only thing I know how to do is hot rollers, which is sort of over. I can’t style bangs even though I love them and I’m always like, ‘Let’s cut some bangs!’ And then I’m stuck with hair I can’t figure out.”

T.R. Knight of Grey’s Anatomy recently celebrated his birthday – Happy Birthday T.R.! – and co-star Katherine Heigl (Izzie) surprised her on screen closet beau with a puppy dog. T.R. was thrilled with the new addition, named Ebony. To up the cool factor, Ebony was rescued from an animal shelter in Nebraska which Heigl and her family help to support.

The puppy is described as mixed breed and gangly, and is about six months old. No word on whether or not it is potty trained or not. Signs of an onset romance between Heigl and Knight? Hardly. Remember T.R. Knight was rudely outed by an infamous incident involving costars Isaiah Washington and Patrick Dempsey last October. I’m thinking one of them needs a puppy too.
