Heath Ledger has died!
Jennifer, our receptionist at work, pulled a Columbo moment on me this afternoon: as I was walking out the door and we exchanged our good-nights, out of nowhere she says, "Heath Ledger's died." I about froze on the spot.
Heath Ledger? Brokeback Mountain Heath Ledger? 10 Things I Hate About You Heath Ledger? Soon to be playing The Joker in The Dark Knight Heath Ledger? When I went back to Jennifer's machine to look at the news article she'd pulled up, sure enough, it was the same Heath Ledger! The first thing that crossed my mind was, "His poor daughter!" Because he and Michelle Williams had had a daughter not too long ago, right around the time they both went to the Oscars for Brokeback Mountain.
Initial reports says that his death appears drug-related, and that he was found in (of all people) Mary-Kate Olsen's apartment. It's a damn shame he died, because here was a really great actor who was just coming into his own.
Godspeed, Heath! You left this earth too soon.

interesting: German news are saying he was found in HIS appartement in NYC (and that he was supposed to have a massage which is why the housekeeper found him)
Yeah, that's what the U.S. news reports are saying now. The Mary-Kate Olsen angle was disproven not too long after it circulated over the net. Interestingly enough, I heard that angle on IMDb, which is usually pretty reputable.
Aren't I the special one to be referenced on your blog?
