Another One Bites The Dust

Heath Ledger and Michelle Williams have split up, Us Weekly is exclusively reporting.

Why the break up? The usual.

Grew apart. Tried to make it work. They remain friends and committed parents to their two year old daughter, Mathilda. Blah blah blah. Boring.

they say it's because their careers got in the way, spending too much time apart, since when is a career more important than family?

Grew apart?!?! EVERYONE grows apart as time goes by.

Its up to BOTH people to make it work.

If you dont want to work on it, dont even bother getting started.

Michelle broke up with Heath because he is aging more poorly than she anticipated….

Heath Ledger was a somewhat fickle serial dater always. He even had georgous Naomi Watts at one time. I always thought Michele would have a hard time holding that together. Wonder what happened.

Michelle, just keep repeating this phrase, I can do better, I can do better, I can do better, etc. Your a beautiful, smart woman and I think you can do much better!

he should have stayed with naomi watts…. she has more class than michelle has in her fat little pinky…. besides…. nice move michelle…. getting preggers by a guy that was in a long term relationship… no wonder why it didn't work out… they didn't know each other very well.. and then boom- pressure of having a kid…. i blame heath as well… anyway- naomi is much better off with liev

This was so obvious from the beginning that this was a fuck thing!!

Come on, didn't see this girl smile once after the baby was born.

And I knew the were seperated from when he was seen sending his daughter back to

boring!!
Hal says – reply to this

116

I suspect the kid became a burden and a bore and both want instead to get on with their careers. So now the kid can be turned over the nannies, etc., while they go on being self centered actors. Having the kid was a novelty that wore off.

he is gay. that's why
For shame says – reply to this

119

I remember when Heath said he and Michelle were SOULMATES. I read that in an interview he did a few years back. Angelina and Brad also mentioned the word SOULMATE. I am thinking that word in Hollywood speak means eventual breakup, sooner than later. They seemed so down to earth, living a normal life in Brooklyn together. Guess they got bored.

that sucks there both so good looking they should stay toghether

121

When you start bringing a child into a relationship all that bohemian lifestyle crap can just go out the window. What is it with these artsy hollywood fucks who want to screw around and bring a child into their messed up lives. What was wrong with just waiting to see if their relationship worked before bringing up baby? I have children myself, therefore I know from whence I speak. Poor little Matilda will have a nanny to raise her now.

Its a shame - they seemed well matched, hope US Weekly has gotten this wrong

123

They split up because hes gay right ? Just waaaaaaaaaaay too convincing in that 'cowboys humping' movie he was in . I agree his co star ,definately gay. Not that I care by the way
Jennabee says – reply to this

124

dude i called this like a month and a half ago it was all over his imdb boards. i feel bad it suck when your parents break up hopeful they can remain civil for mathilda, but dude it would be great if him and jakey got together lol. i alos hope there isnt deep shit in this like drugs and stuff which has also been said is the reason. reportally michelle is keeping mathilda from heath b.c drugs girls his lifestyle exc. they were doomed from the start b.c she trapped him with a kid heath can not stay with one girl more the like 2 years he cant commit , wow i have way to much to say on them and if i keep going it be like half a page
Lizzy says – reply to this

125

Yeah, well … they got together in a split second, had a baby five minutes later, etc. Shocked? No.

MAN! This sucks.. I GUESS. hahaha. and they weren't even in the total limelight. No excuse!
The last time Heath Ledger looked GOOD.. says – reply to this

128

The last time Heath looked REALLY good was like in 2001 when he starred in "A Knights Tale" which was a wonderfully funny movie and he was really HOT then!!
He looked so great as a Blonde!!

So sad to hear —- they seemed so right for each other, plus have a darling baby girl. Wish they'd reconsider…….. tisk tisk, such is Hollywood … such a shame.

You idiots, Matilda (or spelt with the 'H', too) has Australian roots. In case you've forgotten, Heath is Australian.

I'd rather Matilda as a name than fucking APPLE or RUMER.
Emily says – reply to this

134

Woohoo! Couldn't stand that bitch and the way she tried to tie him down by "accidentally" getting pregnant.

You Naomi Watts is holding her baby & fiance close just gloating about this! I'm so happy to read about this, karma baby!!!
Jennifer says – reply to this

135

YEWPEE!!! That bitch got her comeuppance! Imagine to try to trap a guy who was in a long term relationship via the baby route. What a bitch. Karma got the bitch.

Hopefully one day when Heath is truly inlove with a girl, she too will dump him for somebody else…now THAT also would be KARMA because he has broken quite a few hearts, Christina Cauchi's, Heather Graham's, Naomi Watts and now Michelle….(though she deserved it imo). But when is Heath's heart going to get broken? Or was it punishment enough to have HAD to put up with monkey-ass looking Michelle?
jai jai says – reply to this

136

if heath hadn't hooked up with Michelle,he wouldv'e been labelled as gay after Brokeback.It is such a coincidence that right after that movie,he hooks up with her and has a kid.Actors,especially really insecure one's,do almost everything with an audience in mind.My guess is,doing that film opened up a deep panic in Heath that he had to correct immediately.Hence maybe the cocaine stuff wev'e been hearing about.People on the outside really don't know what psychological toll an actor has to go through to immerse himself in a role.It is seriously a pandoras box if the role is an intense one.

Awww too bad, so sad. I wish them both all the best and hope they can stay civil with each other for the sake of the little one.

saw that a MILE AWAY, Heath Ledger good actor, bad guy. Naomi Watts was to mature (mentally) for him, I knew that wasn't going to last either. It's funny/sad how love works

145

Heath is an arrogant loser, i usually try to stay loyal to australian actors but he is unpatriotic and full of himself.
zenda says – reply to this

146

This couple always remind me of Jennifer Garner and Ben, Heath never seem too much into Michelle, and Ben dosent seem too be too much into Jennifer Garner. Jennifer Garner got preggers to hook Ben when everone knew that Ben was not ready to get marry. Michelle hooked Heath also by getting preggers, they both are T.V. stars I think coming from the same show Dawsons Creek and they both wanted to move on up. Everyone thinks that they are two sweet girls "not" they are two calculating bitches who went from D list to A list because of whom they married. They both try to act as though they are not hollywoodish by dressing down, and Michelle moving to Brooklyn, and Jennifer acting like a jerk by letting the paparazzis take pictures of her daughter in public park, I say Ben and Jen are next.

Heath is my 2nd cousin Once removed. My cousin Melissa is married to his cousin! Never met him though.

Re: dd – Yep, you're right. "Walzing Matilda" is a traditional Aussie ballad about a "swagman" (homeless guy) who camped by a "billabong" (pond). But it is still an old fashioned name here in Aus.

He never should have shagged that fug in the first place. That slut she played on Dawson's Creek is one of the most annoying characters in TV history.

R you seriouse? That's crazy they make such a cute couple.
wishing well says – reply to this

153

Wishing them both the best of luck…but it does take work to make a relationship last, you get what you put into it and sometimes I think people are to hasty about ending it…they have the best thing in common, a little girl, that's gotta mean more than anything, my guess is they'll get back together because they'll realize how good they had it, remember a family is the glue that holds everything together…chow
BER says – reply to this

gee…who woulda thunk their shotgun marriage wouldn't have worked out….
Afro Goddess says – reply to this

155

They were only together so that he wouldn't look gay when Brokeback came out. It was too much of a coincidence. Also, he must have worked his d(ck off to impregnate her. Good job, good job!

Maybe Heath is on drugs ’cause he doesn't look near as good looking as he used to.

Britney Spears & Demi Lovato's First X Factor Critique! Listen Here!

Girls are on fire!!!

We won't get to see how the ladies did until the fall, but today in Austin, Britney Spears and Demi Lovato took their seats as the new judges on The X Factor. Someone had the foresight of smuggling in a recording device to the Texas auditions and we've got the audio from the ladies' first critique!

And you know what? They sound like old pros!

Check out the video (above) to hear Brit Brit and Darling Demi give their thoughts on the first contestant of season two!

They both sound so GOOD! Strong and confident; it doesn't sound like either of them were nervous at all!

Bravo, ladies! We can't wait to see you in action!
