Bob George style on how Britney and Amy are alive: "AINT THAT A BITCH! That unfit mother and the crackwhore singer?" mahahaha

He apparently OD'd

It's so tragic that this will continue to happen as long as "young Hollywood" continues like this. The only question is: Who will be next?

ok another report from MSN.com:

I saw some interviews he was doing and he was very shaky and jittery, but chalked up to his method acting approach to getting into the role of The Joker. I'm hearing now that the pills they've found were over the counter, so I'm not sure about an O.D. I know he said he was having trouble sleeping from getting into the role so much and not being able to "turn it off" and had dabbled with Ambian but it wasn't working.

What was he doing in Mary Kate Olsen's apartment then?

susannah said:

i dont think it's anything serious
possibly just was renting it from her while staying in manhattan

sammij said:

Oh ok. I thought they might have been dating and I just didnt know

susannah said:

Please tell me this is not true! On so many levels I do not want those girls in this man's life

If this is true, I hope it wakes her the fuck up and she gets clean before she's next.

He was a human like the rest of us. No one know what goes on in anybodys head but ourselves.

Truly sad .

A great talent is gone.

Very sad.

You never know how pills will affect you, unfortunately. Even if he didn't take too many, maybe he just took the wrong one for his particular body chemistry.

i can´t believe this...so very sad

watching the next batman movie is going to be hard

Damn another one dead before they reached their 30's

not surprised...not angry...this stuff happens all the time to those less fortunate yet are more deserving of our culture's attention.

but with that beind said...RIP.

Poor Heath!!! My sister told me on the phone. I was shocked in a way, but at the same time, the last few times I saw him a seemed a little...off.
I feel for his little Girl.

I must say, I'm stunned.

The Last Photograph of Heath Ledger

Posted Jan 22nd 2008 4:39PM by TMZ Staff

Heath Ledger was photographed in London on Saturday on the set of his latest movie, "The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus." The movie, directed by Terry Gilliam, was due to be released next year.

He wasn't. NY Times retracted that info.

Wow!

I just heard about this on the radio... Oh my.. so sad.

This is very sad news- it reminds me of what happened to River Phoenix...both so talented.

ive read he was recently turning down work. in light of todays sad news, i dont believe the two things are unrelated.

very sad. so much potential gone,

i hope hes at peace.

Holy shit.

I gotta say, this one came out of nowhere for me. I never paid much attention to Heath, but for some reason I'm having a hard time wrapping my mind around the fact that the guy's not here nymore.

Actor Found Dead

1/22/08


New York - Heath Ledger was found dead Tuesday at a downtown Manhattan apartment, and police said drugs may have been a factor. The Australian-born actor was 28. Police said Ledger was naked in his bed with an unknown number of sleeping pills near the body.

Ledger had an appointment for a massage at a residence in the tony SoHo neighborhood, NYPD spokesman Paul Browne said. A housekeeper who went to let him know the massage therapist had arrived found him dead at 3:26 p.m.

A large crowd of paparazzi and gawkers began gathering Tuesday evening outside the building on an upscale block, where several police officers guarded the door. The medical examiner's office planned an autopsy on Wednesday, spokeswoman Ellen Borakove said.

While not a marquee movie star, Ledger was a respected, award-winning actor who took his craft seriously rather than cashing in on his heartthrob looks. He was nominated for an Oscar for his performance as a gay cowboy in "Brokeback Mountain," where he met Michelle Williams, who played his wife in the film. The two had a daughter, Matilda, and lived together in Brooklyn until they split up last year.

Ledger most recently appeared in "I'm Not There," in which he played one of the many incarnations of Bob Dylan — as did Cate Blanchett, whose performance in that film earned an Oscar nomination Tuesday for best supporting actress.

Ledger had finished filming his role as the Joker this year in "The Dark Knight," a sequel to 2005's "Batman Begins."

He's had starring roles in "A Knight's Tale" and "The Patriot," and played the suicidal son of Billy Bob Thornton in "Monster's Ball." He also played a heroin addict in the 2006 Australian film "Candy."

Before settling down with Williams, Ledger had relationships with actresses Heather Graham and Naomi Watts. He met Watts while working on "The Lords of Dogtown," a fictionalized version of a cult classic skateboarding documentary, in 2004.

Ledger was born in 1979 in Perth, in western Australia, to a mining engineer and a French teacher, and got his first acting role playing Peter Pan at age 10 at a local theater company. He began acting in independent films as a 16-year-old in Sydney and played a cyclist hoping to land a spot on an Olympic team in a 1996 television show, "Seat."

After several independent films, Ledger moved to Los Angeles at age 19 and co-starred opposite Julia Stiles in "10 Things I Hate About You," a teen comedy reworking of "The Taming of the Shrew." His movie career caught on soon after that, culminating with his Academy Award nomination for "Brokeback Mountain."

"Dark Knight" director Christopher Nolan said earlier this month that Ledger's performance as the Joker would be wildly different than Jack Nicholson's memorable turn in 1989's "Batman."

"It was a very great challenge for Heath," Nolan had said. "He's extremely original, extremely frightening, tremendously edgy. A very young character, a very anarchic presence that taps into a lot of our basic fears and panic."

Unbelievable. Too sad...

Gonna stick this.

This is so sad. I enjoyed his performances in 10 Things I Hate About You and Brokeback Mountain. I was looking forward to seeing The Dark Knight....

Rest in peace.

My thoughts and prayers go to his daughter and family and friends.

DAMN!!
