On the lighter side of things ...

Doing sexy scenes is nerve wrecking. And, to lessen the tension, the "State of Affairs" crew took off their shirts as a sign of support to Katherine Heigl who had to do a sexy scene with her co-star Mark Tallman. The instagram photo shows Heigl and some of the crew semi naked in bed. Her funny caption states "Nope I haven't gone into the adult film business... just having a little fun w/ my amazingly supportive crew who shed their shirts in solidarity!! Love you all!!@carnajoe@tallmanmark".
