Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Television, Obituaries,
Michelle Williams has reached out to Lea Michele.
Lea, 26, has been struggling to cope since her boyfriend Cory Monteith, 31, died from a heroin and alcohol overdose last month and Michelle - whose former boyfriend, Heath Ledger, died of an overdose in 2008 - has reached out to her. "Michelle is probably the only person who knows what Lea is going through. Lea was deeply touched by the gesture. Michelle made a huge impact and Lea has been feeling better. There are a lot of parallels between Heath and Cory so Michelle can really understand Lea," a source said.

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Dating,
The Forgetting Sarah Marshall star contacted Kim Ledger, the father of the late actor, to let him know that he is there for his granddaughter, six-year-old Matilda Rose, as well as her mother Michelle Williams.
The My Life With Marilyn actress and the Ledger family endured a battle after the Dark Knight Rises star's tragic death in 2008, arguing over inheritance and who should get his various awards. However, they have recently buried the hatchet and her partner Jason is hoping they can all get along.
"Jason got on the phone and introduced himself to Kim, and then invited the Ledgers to use his home whenever they wanted to fly in from Australia to visit Michelle and Maddie. Kim was blown away by Jason's generosity and the two hit it off right away. Now Kim's given his blessing for Jason to marry Michelle and be a stepdad to Matilda," a source said.

Morgan Freeman: Joker Role Didn’t Kill Heath
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Drugs, Obituaries, Rumors,
The 28-year-old actor died in January 2008 from an accidental drug overdose and while some people believe he was struggling to cope with the intensity of playing the maniacal character, co-star Morgan isn't convinced the role played any part in his untimely passing.
"Well, it's a downer when anything happens to an actor in mid-production. In fact, he didn't die during production, his part was wrapped up, but the movie itself wasn't out yet. People connected the character to his death because the character was so ... evil. People imagine that the role leaks into the man or something. And I don't think that was the case at all," Morgan said, speaking of Heath's tragic death.
Morgan - who has reprised his role as Lucius in new Batman film The Dark Knight Rises - also revealed he has no intention of retiring from acting even though he's 75: "What keeps anyone going? I have work. I have things to do. I prefer working to idleness. And I like my job. I'm lucky, I'm not working because I have to; I'm working because I love to."

Josh Hutcherson has bought Heath Ledger's old house.
The Hunger Games star has splashed out on the two-bedroom, two-bathroom property - which was listed last September for $2.995 million - in the Hollywood Hills, though it is unclear whether he paid the full asking price. The house is set on almost an acre of land and boasts large rooms, an Alice in Wonderland-style garden and a large deck area with an outdoor screening room, grill and fire pit.

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Kind Acts, Meltdowns,
Johnny Depp dedicated part of his private island to Heath Ledger. The Rum Diary star and his long-term partner Vanessa Paradis occasionally let their pals use their island, which is in the Bahamas, including the relatives of the late Australian actor, who died of an accidental overdose in January 2008.
Johnny - who along with Jude Law and Colin Farrell stepped in to finish Heath's last film The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus - told the Daily Mirror newspaper, "After Heath Ledger died, I thought his family could use time away from the madness so they spend a good chunk of time there. There's a location there that we call Heath's Place."
As well as the tribute to Heath, parts of the island are dedicated to Vanessa and the couple's children, Lily-Rose, 12, and nine-year-old Jack. The island also has Keef Reef, Gonzo Beach and Brando Beach, named in honor of three of Johnny's friends, Rolling Stones rocker Keith Richards, late author Hunter S. Thompson and deceased acting legend Marlon Brando.

Quote of the Day: Michelle Williams on Heath Ledger
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Movies, Celebrity Babies, Obituaries,
"Obviously, for me and for [Matilda], there's a hole in our life. Of course the natural inclination is to want to fill it and make it disappear, but what I've come to recently is that it's impossible. Nothing will fit in that hole because what we want back we can't get, which is this one person. I'm not going to rush anything and scamper around like a mad person and make myself crazy. I'm trying to be respectful of the absence. I'm not trying to fill it up. It is what it is."
-- Michelle Williams, on dealing with the death of Heath Ledger, the father of her daughter Matilda.

Drugs and Self-Destruction: The Dark Side of Hollywood
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Movies, Music, Television, Child Stars, Drugs, Obituaries, Where Are They Now?,
UPDATE: According to the coroner, Corey Haim died as result of natural causes.
Fans woke up Wednesday morning with the sad news that 1980s teen icon Corey Haim died during the night. Unfortunately, this headline is not uncommon…nor is the sad story that sums up the once-promising actor’s young life. Perhaps best known as Corey Feldman’s frequent co-star, Corey Haim was once one of the most popular stars in the country. During his heyday of The Lost Boys, License to Drive and Lucas, Haim captivated hearts - and casting directors - with his trademark smirk and level gaze. It’s too bad that, at the same time, substance abuse captivated him.

Lindsay Lohan Dated Heath Ledger Before His Death
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Movies, Dating, Meltdowns, Rumors,
If one were to believe all the tabloid reports regarding who dated Heath Ledger before his untimely death, he would have been with at least three women (I’m sure there will be more to come)!
According to a taped phone conversation between Dina Lohan and her ex-husband Michael Lohan, their famous daughter Lindsay Lohan was seeing The Dark Knight star at the same time Gemma Ward and Mary-Kate Olsen were!
“[Lindsay] was dating Heath when he died… I don’t know if you know that, but I know cause I would drop her off and they were friends, very, very close… That f***ed her up,” Dina tells Michael in the tapes.
Are we now pinning every young celebrity’s depression and problems on Ledger’s death?
The release of these tapes comes shortly after Michael sold an unsettling recorded conversation between him and Lindsay, where the troubled starlet seems to have a meltdown. Those Lohans sure know how to command that media spotlight!

Did Heath Ledger Have Another Child?
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Celebrity Babies, Rumors,
Just when you thought he could finally rest in peace…
Although Heath Ledger‘s passing happened over two months ago, the star is still garnering news…and he has his family to thank for most of it.
After it was revealed that the Brokeback Mountain star did not provide for his daughter, Matilda, in his outdated will, Heath’s father assured everyone that the 2-year-old would be taken care of. Unfortunately, this announcement forced Kim Ledger’s estranged brothers to come out of the woodwork and cry foul. Apparently Heath’s pop was previously accused of mishandling another relative’s estate when he was appointed overseer.
Now there’s the chance that another party could shake up matters a bit more. A possible love child.

Lindsay Lohan’s Nude Photo Spread
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Drugs, Drunk, Photos,
How do you get people to stop associating you with drugs? You get them to think of you nude.
In the next issue of New York magazine, recently-rehabbed Lindsay Lohan does her best to evoke Marilyn Monroe. The photo spread is practically identical to the one Monroe did back in 1962. That shoot - now known as “The Last Sitting” - took place just several weeks before the legend died…from an apparent drug overdose.
(Sorry, Linds - still thinking about you and drugs.)
Photographer Bert Stern, the same man who behind the camera forty-six years ago, said he wanted to work with Lohan because he believed she had “more depth to her”. Really?
