Maybe Katherine Heigl just didn't have room in her closet for those 27 bridesmaid dresses?
The breakaway star of "Grey's Anatomy" and "Roswell," who is enjoying a newish marriage and box-office acclaim with "27 Dresses," has listed the house she owned before she became really famous -- a Hollywood starter house. It's in Los Feliz, and the asking price is $1.75 million.
The 2,400-square-foot redone contemporary has an open floor plan with glass walls that provide views from downtown to the ocean. It has three bedrooms, 2 1/2 bathrooms and was built in 1935. There are hardwood floors throughout, and the two-story house has a bells-and-whistles kitchen with granite countertops. The master bedroom has French doors opening to a city-view balcony. The master bathroom has an oversized stone steam shower. The living room is replete with a fireplace.
Heigl, 29, seems to be on everyone's short list of hot actresses these days. She's certainly come a long way from the macabre "Bride of Chucky" (1998). She played teenage alien Isabel Evans on "Roswell" for three years, starting in 1999, while continuing her big-screen career. Heigl won an Emmy last year for her work on "Grey's Anatomy."
In December, she married musician Josh Kelley in Park City, Utah.
The property is co-listed by Dorothy Carter of Keller Williams Realty, Los Feliz, and Jay Solton of Sotheby's International Realty, Brentwood.

Making his Carbon Beach footprint
Did someone coat Malibu's Carbon Beach with 24-karat gold flakes?
William J. Chadwick, who manages to keep the lowest profile of any member of the Carbon Beach Super Rich Club, just listed his 10,500-square-foot home at $65 million. If sold at that price, it could be a record for Malibu -- at least among transactions in the public eye.
Chadwick is a managing director of Chadwick Saylor & Co., a real estate investment banking and capital management firm with offices in Los Angeles and Atlanta. He was chairman of Exposition Park and the California Science Center and president of the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum Commission in 2005.
And former Gov. Gray Davis named him his point man to bring an NFL team to L.A. So maybe not everything Chadwick touches turns to gold.
But real estate watchers will be curious to see if his Midas touch works on the Carbon Beach house he listed: $65 million is a lot of moola, even for a piece of the billionaires' beach.
