that sucks... and right before batman comes out, too ;[

[MissHygienic]

Fuck. I actually liked his accent in films, too.

[Tung]

[livwho]

^ co-sign.

Damnit, he was hot.

[queen]

Fuck. I actually liked his accent in films, too.

yah! i love his accent/s

death of celebrities don't really surprise me, but this one came out of nowhere. i was seriously expecting a very long healthy acting career from him.

[superstitious]

Dammit. This just sucks. :[

He's never really in the spotlight, such as Matt Damon or Jake Gyllenhaal or Elijah Wood has been. I sort of expected his acting career to eventually die out, and he'd settle down or something. Odd.

well, by healthy, i don't mean as glamourous as the other wll-known celebs. that's why i liked him so much. in my head, he lead a good balance of having a private life as well as a "star" life. i also liked his choice in roles, 'cause regardless of having a lead role or not, he didn't appear arrogant or obnoxious to me.

I know, my response was an extension of yours.

Speaking of arrogant and obnoxious, Owen Wilson, anyone?

[YaGurlSukedMe2SL...]

NOOO.... JOKER!!!!

[Blaqheartedstar]

wow its sad, i really enjoyed him in movies, and was looking forward to seeing him in the dark knight.
my jaw dropped something serious when i saw it on AOL.

AOL: Heath Ledger Found Dead at Home

Heres a AOL post.

[SarahxJoy]

Damn, you all beat me to it, haha.
My boyfriend called me and told me to look up Heath Ledger to see if his death came up. I was like, "WHAT?!"

I can't believe he's dead. This was so unexpected. :( Just like, BHAM! Outta' nowhere.

[livwho]

Bye bye Heath. You'll be so greatly missed.

[pkbabe]

omg

I didn't know that meanie

[YaGurlSukedMe2SL...]

kekek im jk

[fameONE]

I didn't know the guy, but its unfortunate to have controversy surrounding your cause of death.

Also, Nate Dogg (former Marine) had a stroke and is currently in the hospital.

f**k.... him too?...."smoke weed everyday"

[*CowerPointyObjects*]

There's a topic on this in entertainment. But it's very sad. He was very pretty.

[technics]

Aww man. ): He was pretty.

[breakingdawn]

Awh my mom called me and told me this. So sad. I loved him in Brokeback Mountain...

[fameONE]

Someone please merge these topics.

[sweetalacrity]

I wonder what will happen to The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus which he was filming recently

[moorepocket]

i just found out about this at yahoo. I can't believe it.

[S-Majere]

Damn, I liked that guy.

[RealTalk]

I was really sad when I heard that. A Knight's Tale was a good movie to me. It sucks how he plays The Joker in Batman and now he's dead. That just blew me.

[tokyo-rose]

Holy frick, that's sad.

[Jennifer]

The death of celebrities is always so unexpected, so this comes as a shock just as much.
I loved Heath in Brokeback :C

[technicolour]

Well, this is depressing. :(

Maaaannn. Now it's going to be freaky going to go see Batman. Shiitttt.

[tokyo-rose]

Someone please merge these topics.

I'm on it yet again! Haha.

[superstitious]

merged, sorry cristy XD

Reason for edit: making sure cristy is still Brandon's fave

[tokyo-rose]

merged, sorry cristy XD

Dang it, now I won't be Brandon's favorite mod anymore. SORRY, BRANDON!

[OhMyAnniee]

.... I was so excited for The Black Knight with him as Joker.....

[JCLore]

So sad
Especially for his family
He comes down all the time to spend time here in Western Australia
I've seen him a couple of times and even shaken his hand

[HakunaMatata]

I neeever expected this to happen to him - he never seemed to the partying type, and it seemed like his career was looking up. Such a shame, since he was a talented actor.

[angelrevelation]

But he wasn't even a "bad case" like Lindsay or Anna Nicole...

[*yrrnotelekktric*]

OMG. IM SO SAD.
i still can`t believe it.

atleast he finished the dark knight. <3

[DoubleJ]

My prayers go out to him and his family. I know the feeling of wanting to end it all, and I just feel bad for him.

[Luna5]

I can't believe he died. It's so sad.

[Blaqheartedstar]

atleast he finished the dark knight. <3

as mean as it is, i agree
wondering as well what will happen to the movie he was filming.

[*yrrnotelekktric*]

^ i know, that was kind of harsh. but i`m even more excited to see it.

[pandamonium]

omg, wtf drugs? i feel like this is the anna nicole smith thread all over again.

its so sad to see this happen like all the time now. Are rich people just that unhappy now-a-days to take pills to suppress everything?

it was sleeping pills they suspected. he had trouble with sleeping.

omg thats so scared cause my mom takes sleeping pills also, she takes ambien just like he does...

[*Steven*]

I wonder what kind of loot he dropped

[KissMe2408]

I was so shocked when I heard about this, so incredibly sad. He was a great actor, I loved him especially in his earlier roles.
I just really can't believe it.

I think this will make Batman even more interesting.
wow.

[Melissa]

I saw this on the bottom breaking-news line on E! while I was watching stupid reruns of Kim Kardashian(sp? ) (wasn't my idea) and couldn't believe it, so looked it up online.

It's really sad. I loved him - he was one of my biggest Hollywood crushes in my early teens.

[OhMyAnniee]

Was it overdose of sleeping pills?

[chena1991]

it is really sad.........i seriously think he committed suicide. it's probably wasn't an accident.

[karmakiller]

Holy f**k! Was I the only one that was surprised to hear that on the news?

[Blaqheartedstar]

^ didn't catch it on the news, my jaw dropped when i saw it on the AOL welcome

[Joss-eh-lime]

WHY do the hot ones have to go?!
his poor family

i honestly think suicide, when it isn't brought on by depression, is the most selfish thing someone can do.
but Legder had depression.

[MissHygienic]

A lot of people have depression. When do people think of suicide? When they're happy? Suicide is selfish, regardless, and not simply because "It's okay because he suffered from depression."

[libertie]

I was at work and I got a PIN from my boss. What a weird thing to find out while I'm sitting there answering e-mails.

[Tramatize]

My heart dropped, i was watchin' "25 near death expirences" on E! and it just came on and said "BREAKING NEWS heath ledger died"
and i was like...shit.
i ussaly dont give a damn

[Tramatize]

A lot of people have depression. When do people think of suicide? When they're happy? Suicide is selfish, regardless, and not simply because "It's okay because he suffered from depression."

Its selfish cuz the only people that it pleases is himself

[MissHygienic]

Its selfish cuz the only people that it pleases is himself

Yes, thanks for that. That was what I said in my response.

Suicide is selfish, regardless.

[DoubleJ]

So it has been confirmed that he committed suicide?

[Gryffindor-Girl]

That is so sad. I LOVED him in "10 Things I Hate About You"

[queen]

So it has been confirmed that he committed suicide?

yah i was wondering that, too. 'cause i thought it was undetermined yet. it could have been an accidental overdose or just a bad combination of drugs/alcohol. i guess either way, it doesn't seem all too innocent though.

it's really sad if it really is suicide. for him to take the easy way out is disappointing.

[Relentless]

Earlier this afternoon, my best friend texted me that Heath Ledger died. I didn't believe it but now I do. Wow. =X Sad, that Batman didn't come out yet and he won't be there for the premiere party when they release it.

He was so young, 28? =X

[Gryffindor-Girl]

Earlier this afternoon, my best friend texted me that Heath Ledger died. I didn't believe it but now I do. Wow. =X

He was so young, 28? =X

I know if someone texted that to me I would be like YOU ARE A BIG FAT LIAR. but yeah accoring to this LINK it wasn't Suicide

[DoubleJ]

Yeah, on the news, they said that they were releasing autopsy tomorrow.

[Flaunted]

10 Things I Hate About You! Ahh... ):
I really couldn't believe it when my friend texted me, I was so shocked. This was so surprising to here, I was excited to see the Dark Knight too. ):
RIP ):

[fameONE]

Sleeping pills, was it?

[technics]

i honestly think suicide, when it isn't brought on by depression, is the most selfish thing someone can do.
but Legder had depression.

His family said he would never do that. He wasn't the type of guy to. But there was reports that Heath was ill with pneumonia when he died. ^ but yes there was pills involved I believe..

[michellerrific]

Pills are suspicious but there shouldn't be any conclusion jumping yet til the autopsy is out.

Such a tragedy. And this guy had hope too. He was a terrific actor. (And he was so good looking..)

[stephinika]

Sleeping pills, was it?

Thats what sources are saying apparently. But yeh, a friend of mine called to randomly tell me this. I couldn't believe it. I really liked his work.

[Djlunatix]

while the news at first didn't set in... now it sort of has. I realized that people like Morgan Freeman, Jack Nicholson, Woody Allen, all started out young just like Ledger..its sad to see the Youth of Hollywood go, especially talented ones like heath.

[S-Majere]

UK teletext reports natural causes as cause of death.

Poor Heath.

[*CowerPointyObjects*]

Is it really bad that the first thing I thought when I saw he was 28 was that if he'd died a year earlier he'd have joined the 27 Club?

I am still grieving. And I just noticed that I'm wearing a black sweater. LOL, not intentional, but I might look like I'm mourning anyway.

[PrideOfAzia]

he OD on sleepin pills yeah. no more batman this year =.=

[me1issaaaa]

I am very, very sad...

[Djlunatix]

he OD on sleepin pills yeah. no more batman this year =.=

actually not true. Dark Knight was finished filming about 2 months ago, Its now in Post Production.

[LoveToMySilas]

I was so surprised when I heard this on the news. Hes so young! Hes only 29 years old...was. I can't believe hes gone. I was just in shock and still am.

[karmakiller]

^ didn't catch it on the news, my jaw dropped when i saw it on the AOL welcome

Eh, one hell of a welcome.

[pandamonium]

omg this is so sad. i am listening to wild horses and looking all the entries of heath ledgers death, i wanna cry.

[Gryffindor-Girl]

I told one of my friends about this and she didn't believe me at first. Then I emailed her with a link to an official news story and then started to cry into the phone because she LOVED him so much.

[dyu]

i was really shocked when i saw it yesterday...well im glad he was in batman and i will see it right when it comes out

[pandamonium]

PEOPLE ARE GOING TO PICKET HEATH LEDGER'S FUNERAL.

article click here

disgusting people. this is freaking ridiculous, if i knew i about his funeral i would do everything in my power to stop these people from picketing his funeral.


AS much as I hate to label the people that are doing this becuase i would totally be doing what they are doing, i just think its so f*cking disgusting.

in the article it shows clips of John Gibson on fox news, mocking heath himself becuase he was in brokeback mountain.

the actual clip of him making fun of heath is here.

the two responses you should hear, clip 1 & clip 2.

If you want to write to foxnews, there are email addresses you can write to(directly to foxnews). You can write to foxnews about what they are doing and why they are letting him air those kind of nasty jokes towards heath.

If you have some kind of feeling toward this please send let it out.



thats just freaking f*cking hilarious. "god hates america" then why the hell are you standing on american soil?

and does that little boy/girl know exactly what he/she is doing. they have everybody brainwashed... its so sad.

[hi-C]

It still hasn't completely set in yet. There's a definite sort of disconnect there when I hear "Heath Ledger" and "death" mentioned in the same sentence. Last night I visited the little shrines outside his apartment, and it kind of made things a little more real to me.

RIP Heath.

[Tung]

I don't see what's all the hype and fuss about. So he died. Why make it so publicized? Thousands of people die everyday. Do they ever get mentioned? What makes him so special? He's just another person like you and me. Get off his dick already, and let Jake do all the nut sucking.

[lojay]

Ahhh. I loved him! My brother told me the day it happened and was like, "The whole thing is really ironic because last night I was watching a movie and they were singing The Joker's dead, the joker's dead! and go figure the next day Heath Ledger, playing the Joker in the new Batman, dies." I was so mortified when my brother told me that.

[Gryffindor-Girl]

Right now I am still in total shock about this. It takes me forever to have dramatic events seep in.

[jaeman]

I can never look at "10 Things I Hate About You" the same, ever again.

[Gryffindor-Girl]

I can never look at "10 Things I Hate About You" the same, ever again.

ME TOO!

[Eww]

Lol, they always die due to drug overdoses.

[HakunaMatata]

UK teletext reports natural causes as cause of death.

Poor Heath.

What natural causes could he possibly die from at 28?

[angel-roh]

You know what's dumb . ___ .
After he died, all the friends that he rarely talks to comes to his picture and act like they were so close so they can get all the attention. I mean how would you feel if you had tons of enemies or people who care less about you just comes out of nowhere when you die? That seems bit a harsh, right? Right.

Anyways, Heath Ledger. I can't believe he died. It's just too SAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well I never really watched his movies.... but I thought he was a great actor!!
He probably was forced to do drug overdose. I mean he was making another movie after
Batman was completed! Or he was probably very sick and had memory problem and forgot
how much pills he took <___<;;

I mean he said the best thing in the world is his daughter. He wants to be there for her
when she graduates high school and get married. And tell me, you think he died on purpose?

Everything will be a lie media unless you hear it from HIM, but he's a goner.
I don't believe anything what happened. I will just think he just died unexpectedly.
