Yeah, she lives up to her name, that attention-starved skank.

Just read about his death on internet.
Interviewer:
-What would you tell someone about yourself if you wanted to impress them?

Chris:
-I´ve got a 12-inch plonker.

This is so shocking and a true amazement! I just can't believe it, I honestly can't. I guess he took too many sleeping pills. With the new Batman movie coming out soon, will be a different feeling to see him in it now that he is gone. :cry:

had to be an accident. from what I read he always spoke alot about his daughter.
I keep reading about some celebritys routinely mixing all these different kinds of pills for this or that and I can never understand what it is that makes all these young people need so much medication.

Tragic really..... I could not believe it, apparently he developed insomina in preparation for his role as the joker because he lived in a hotel room for 1 month on his own to get "into" character. By the looks of the trailer.. he achieved the real psychotic look of the joker but the thing is he wont be around to get his deserved recognition.

Real sad...

It's pretty damned sad. He wasn't very happy lately. Loads of prescription drugs and sedatives.
He liked to drink too, and there were rumors of harder stuff. Tonight, Wed., they're examining curious packets and rolled-up $20 bills found.

It's a tragedy, cos the guy was an undeniably good actor with a lot ahead of him, and a young daughter he loved dearly left behind. RIP.

Its just so sad, the thing is that everywhere they just keep referring to him as "The Brokeback Mountain Actor", why? He made other notable movies, not just that one. Just because he was nominated for an Oscar for that movie is the only thing that seperates it from the other movies.

I have only ever returned a DVD to a shop and asked for a refund and the 'starred' Heath Ledger. It was called The Sin Eater and it/he was truly awful.

Sad to see someone take their life though whatever their acting skills.
Hello my name is Neil Tennant and I'm Chris Lowe and we're of the Pet Shop Boys.

I dunno, they could just refer to him as that gay cowboy.

When Neil dies, it'll be West End Girls that will be on the newsreels, not Was it worth it?

The first time I ever saw Heath was a few years before he went to Hollywood. He appeared as a bicycle racer in a sports camp on an Australian teen show called SWEAT from the late 90s. And guess what: His character Snowy had his gay coming out! So he had played a gay before Brokeback Mountain. And when I saw him on the big screen in "10 things I hate about you" he was already familiar to me and no newcomer. Maybe that's why his death shook me even more than usually.

Oh I dunno. It was certainly no Hutchence.
