Heath Ledger Died In Mary Kate Olsen’s Apartment
Yeah, I know none of us really give a fuck, but now it’s just so weird and darkly funny with this angle….Hollywood is a shitpile…
NY Times:
The actor Heath Ledger was found dead this afternoon in an apartment in Manhattan owned by the actress Mary-Kate Olsen, according to the New York City police. Mr. Ledger was 28.
At 3:31 p.m., a masseuse arrived at Apartment 5A in the building, at 421 Broome Street in SoHo, for an appointment with Mr. Ledger, the police said. The masseuse was let in to the home by a housekeeper, who then knocked on the door of Mr. Ledger’s bedroom. When no one answered, the housekeeper and the masseuse opened the bedroom and found Mr. Ledger naked and unconscious on a bed, with pills scattered around his body. They shook him, but he did not respond. They immediately called the authorities.
The police said they did not suspect foul play. The police said they believed Ms. Olsen, 21, was in California and said it was not clear why Mr. Ledger was in her apartment.
Mr. Ledger, a native of Perth, Australia, won acclaim for his role as a co-star in “Brokeback Mountain”, a 2005 film. The film, based on a short story by Annie Proulx about two cowboys who fall in love, won critical acclaim. Reviewing the film in The New York Times, the critic Stephen Holden wrote, “Mr. Ledger magically and mysteriously disappears beneath the skin of his lean, sinewy character. It is a great screen performance, as good as the best of Marlon Brando and Sean Penn.”
Mr. Ledger met the actress Michelle Williams while filming ‘’Brokeback Mountain.” The two actors fell into a romance and moved to Boerum Hill, Brooklyn, where their comings and goings were widely noted by paparazzi. They had a daughter, Matilda Rose, who was born on Oct. 28, 2005. The couple separated last year.
In an interview in London for an article published in November, Mr. Ledger told The New York Times, ‘’I feel like I’m wasting time if I repeat myself.” He said in the interview that he was not proud of his latest role, in Todd Haynes’s “I’m Not There,” in which Mr. Ledger was one of a half-dozen actors depicting the musician Bob Dylan. ‘’I feel the same way about everything I do. The day I say, ‘It’s good’ is the day I should start doing something else,” said in the interview.
Calls by The Times to Mara Buxbaum, a publicist for Mr. Ledger, and Steve Alexander, the actor’s agent, were not immediately returned this afternoon.
Be respectful of others and their opinions. Inflammatory remarks and inane leftist drivel will be deleted. It ain’t about free speech, remember you’re in a private domain. My website, my prerogative.

The sequel to Batman Begins already was gonna rock, but this is gonna boost ticket sales through the roof. Some PR guy is happy somewhere.
Weird. Maybe he got too caught up in his role as The Joker.
Poor stupid bastid.

Way to go, Brokeback.
January 22nd, 2008 at 7:03 pmWell Kudos to Hollyweird. You claimed another Brokedick….
January 22nd, 2008 at 7:28 pmAre ya happy? Sex, drugs and whatever-the-fuck-you-listen-to is for losers.
And what is up with that pic of Mary Kate Olsen? Is she working the street? Handjobs for crack is not what I would expect from a cast member of “Full House”.
Bob Saget must be rolling in his grave.
January 22nd, 2008 at 7:41 pmOK, he was a heroin addict, and she looks and acts like one. So, two of a kind…wonder when someone’s going to “intervene” with her.
