"Ugly" isn't a word that describes Emmy-winning Grey's Anatomy and Knocked Up star , but T.R. Knight's BFF is about to go before the cameras for gay director Robert Luketic in a romantic comedy called The Ugly Truth.

The story centers on successful TV producer Heigl hiring one of those harsh, tell-it-like-it-is relationship advice professionals for her show.

His brash style conflicts with her views on the world, naturally, until she begins to find that his "ugly truth" style of dating tips really do help her find the guy she's always wanted.

In other words, another film to confirm that straight people really are an odd bunch, made all the more subversive - one hopes - by having a gay director at the controls.

No word on a male lead yet, but a start date of April 15 is set, so audiences will probably see how ugly it all gets sometime in early 2009.
