heath ledger died

[Hitler Stole My Potato]

The guy was awesome in Lords of Dogtown.

[Smooth Groove]

You're kidding about the Olsen twin thing, right?  If not, talk about trading down.  He used to go out with Naomi Watts.

And Heather Graham.  But either Olsen twin is richer than both Watts and Graham combined. 

[CrystalGemini]

He was found in one of the Olsen twins apartment.  This just got E! True Hollywood.

Prove it.

[Robo]

TMZ reported it and recanted a bit later.

[Vizzys]

i know this makes me a bad person but I was reading his wiki article and I saw the movie he was currently fiming and I went to the talk page because it was locked (to prevent changes obviously) but this made me lol:

Heath Ledger

someone changed "heath ledger" to "zombie heath ledger" in the sidebar. it directs to the article on zombies, rather than the article on heath ledger. someone should prolly fix this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 140.247.156.98

His life must have been awful if he was willing to let his most notable role be a gay cowboy before he died.

he should have waited until batman came out.

I mean, the guy had a kid..

[Junpei the Tracer!]

I really liked 10 Things I Hate About You.  :'(

[Powerslave]

didnt even know the guy

[drew]

didnt even know the guy

Ditto.  I thought I was the only one.

Has it been confirmed that it was a suicide?  You make it sound like he knew he was going to die.

Let us not forget Michelle Williams.

I have no sypathy for this man, especially if he killed himself when he has a 2 year old little girl. Nerdlingers be damned. Fuck your precious Joker.

[Eric P]

that's a shame

i really enjoyed his work

[Flannel Boy]

He'll have an awesome grave.

Beneath this granite ledger
Lies Heath Andrew Ledger

[EvilBoris]

 Were the reasons ever disclosed why he had to drop out of Malick's 'Tree of Life'?
 Such a terrible shame.... since 2005 he was on the path to greatness.

I'd assume the timing didn't line up.  That was announced like 3 years ago, and it hasn't started filming yet.  Being committed to that probably prevented him from lining up more roles.

[TakingBackSunday]

Sources are now saying he died of pneumonia.

Still not 100% though.

[Tauntaun]

smh, sucks 

[etiolate]

I've actually rather liked Ledger ever since 10 things and A Knights Tale. This shocks me a bit even. It seemed like he would have a long career and probably some nice awards.

[etiolate]

FUCK, that cock just ruined Terry Gilliam's new movie!  Terry can't catch a break, can he?

If he was found in Manhattan, and the shooting (which should be continuing even now) was happening in Britain and Canada, there's the chance that his scenes were already done.
Hey, anybody see Heath's well praised portrayal of a drug addict earlier last year?  I'll have to check it out now, at least for irony's sake.
(Image removed from quote.)

The movie was just okay, but Heath was good in his role. It's a harsh drug story and a relationship story mixed together.

[Ichirou]

Holy fucking shit.  That's really awful news.  I actually saw Heath Ledger (didn't speak to him) when I was in Italy in 2004.

And wtf at the people cracking jokes in this thread.

[CurseoftheGods]

Looks like it was a combination of sleep deprivation, pneumonia, and abuse of sleeping pills. It was definitely accidental.

What a sad way to do.

[calcifer]

http://ytmnd.com/

almost started crying  :'(

[Himu]

well that sucks if it was accidental. rip

[Ichirou]

He might not have even known he had pneumonia if he was trying to self-medicate with over-the-counter stuff thinking it was just a bad cold/jet lag.  Poor guy.

[CajoleJuice]

(10:36:37 PM) friend: the joker loses
(10:36:46 PM) CajoleJuice: batman went too far this time
(10:36:56 PM) friend: indeed
(10:37:06 PM) friend: he saw him taking all those pills
(10:37:07 PM) friend: he said
(10:37:19 PM) friend: i'm not gonna kill you, but that doesnt mean i have to save you
(10:37:24 PM) friend: then he shut the apartment door

I just thank the baby jesus that this combination of sleep deprivation and sleeping pills is so rare.

Uhm, except that chick wasn't famous so it's okay to make fun of her.  Posting on Evilbore has taught me that, if nothing else.

[CajoleJuice]

You mean GAF has taught you that. 

[Ichirou]

Yeah, EB just taught me to make fun of disabled stalkers and teenage fatties.

[Eel O'Brian]

hahaha, just bustin your onions

[CajoleJuice]

That banner is still one of the greatest things I've ever seen.

[Ichirou]

Is it weird that I feel kinda sad?

[Mr. Gundam]

It is pretty sad. I saw I'm Not There on Friday night, he was good in it. Hell, ever since he did Monster's Ball, he's been turning out great performances.

[TVC15]

This is kind of sad.  WHY COULDN'T IT HAVE BEEN BRITNEY?  OR EVEN BETTER, LEMURS!

[Ichirou]

You read my mind, TVC.  I was just about to post "If it had been Britney or Lindsay Lohan, I wouldn't really give a damn.  The fact that it was a talented guy who was willing to take risky roles for the sake of his art just makes it so much worse."

[TVC15]

Terry Gilliam is drinking tonight!  He's getting old.  This may have been his last chance at a budget.  I hope he can do something.

[Barry Egan]

 :'( Heath

 :'( :'( Gilliam

[Ichirou]

I say just shoot a body double from the back for all remaining scenes.

[Mr. Gundam]

Fat Man Knowles is reporting that Heath was completely finished with all the post filming work on TDK so he could focus on Gilliam's movie.

Lohan should stick around just because she's most likely to be in the first celebrity gangbang video.

Yeah, let's just worry about what's going to happen with the movie.  Who cares what his family is going through, right? 

[AdmiralViscen]

Why should I care?

Ehm, she's stupid but I think she learned from the whole Paris Hilton fiasco.  Plus, she's in AA now.

I like what Lindsay has learned from AA.  She was recently caught making out with 3 different guys on the same day. 

[MCD]

good night, sweet prince.

[Ichirou]

I still can't believe this is true!

[Smooth Groove]

I still can't believe this is true!

That's because death from drug overdose is so rare nowadays.  This wouldn't have been so shocking in the eighties or early nineties. 

[Ichirou]

The guy was 28, not a known partier, and on his way to cementing his status as an A-list star.  This isn't like River Phoenix OD'ing, by all reports, this was a stable dude.


THIS IS WRONG

JESUS WHY COULDN'T YOU TAKE BRITNEY

[The Sceneman]

wait so this is real?

if so:  :'(

One of the few celebrity deaths thats upset me  :'( :'( :'(

the other two were Kurt Vonnegut (altohugh he was pretty much ready to go) and John Ritter

[bluemax]

I'll see TDK, but I'm more upset for Gilliam.  That poor man has not been able to catch a break in like over a decade.  His new movie was the first personal pic that he's had a budget for in years, and now one of the stars dies while it's being filmed.

Yes, it'll be hard for some people to watch TDK now (although I don't know why--it's not like you know him), but it will probably be impossible to see the new Gilliam movie!  Because it won't get finished now!

This is very depressing, my girlfriend was bummed when she heard this part.

[Bloodwake]

Yeah, this is just ridiculous.

We have bitches like Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, and Britney Spears snorting everything available to snort, having lots of sex, drinking, and all they are doing is just taking up our news programs with shit and nonsense.

Meanwhile, Heath Ledger, who is pretty straight-cut, either takes too many sleeping pills trying to sleep or he dies of fucking pnemonia.

INJUSTICE.

I see it in a different view.

these bitches are dying slowly while Heath is enjoying his time...somewhere up there.
