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.

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!

Heath Ledger’s “Dirty Laundry”
Posted by Elaine Furst Categories: Movies, Editorials,
The death of Heath Ledger last week seemed to bring out the worst in our fellow “journalists”.
After watching the TV coverage of Heath Ledger‘s passing, I couldn’t help but be reminded of Don Henley’s song, “Dirty Laundry”. For those of you who aren’t familiar with it, “Dirty Laundry” is Henley’s commentary on the decline of journalism and how the people who cover the news are really just failed actors and news coverage is all about finding the “dirtiest” story about someone and running with it whether it’s true or not. (Henley wrote the song fifteen years ago.) The lyrics that particularly came to mind in light of Ledger’s passing are:
“Dirty little secrets, dirty little lies
We got our dirty little fingers in everybody’s pie
Love to cut you down to size, we love dirty laundry”
The three “journalists” that appeared to be most guilty of this were:
Nancy Grace. On her show, Grace called on a number of “professionals” (i.e mental health “experts”) who prattled on about Ledger’s “alleged” state of mind at the time of his death and what the meaning of all those pills scattered around his body “probably” meant. I didn’t really pay too close attention to what they were saying until the term “bipolar disorder” came up. I then did what hopefully any sane, sensitive person would do. I changed the channel and put on QVC. (If I want to watch schlock, I’ll buy it from QVC.)
