What You Didn't See
Filed under: Australiastic > Heath Ledger
The Hollywood community is still very upset at Entertainment Tonight and The Insider.
A behind-the-scenes campaign happened aggressively on Wednesday to pressure the shows not to broadcast that Heath Ledger video everyone was talking about.
Several top publicity companies threatened to never give the shows access to their star clients again. They caved.
However, we're told that many are still upset because ET and The Insider made it seem like Heath was doing drugs in the video.
He was not, a person who has seen the full clip tells us.
Additionally, when the shows aired a preview of the video, they showed a clip of Ledger saying, "I used to smoke five joints a day for 20 years."
However, what they didn't show you was that afterwards, he said , "and that's why I got this tattoo [an M, for daughter Matilda] to remind me never to smoke weed again."

Just leave him alone…he's dead already…who cares how many joints he smoked 20 years ago…let him rest in peace!!!!!!
:( so sad
FIRST!!!!!!
poor guy
You got it. let's move on
thats the most horrible thing i've ever heard of. how sick that thats what has come out of this terribly sad tragedy. let his body and soul rest in peace and give the family room to fucking grieve!
Poor guy. Poor family!
Yes, let the poor man rest in peace. But you have to wonder how many other "Hollywood" persons are seen in the video other than the late Mr. Ledger.
what fucking idiots.
r.i.p heath.
seems even more unbelieveable now its been a week, still can't believe he's gone :S.
but yeh fucking knobs
EVERYONE WHO READS THIS PLEASE BOYCOTT THESE PIECE OF SHIT SHOWS…HOW AWFUL TO EXPLOIT HEATH LEDGER JUST FOR THEIR OWN RATINGS/WALLETS. THAT POOR BABY GIRL.
1sS
dude. leave the dude alone already
Please let this man rest in peace.
can't they just leave the guy alone? i mean he's dead
he did not smoke weed when he was 8 years old!!!!
heath
second?
Its easy BOYCOTT THIS KIND OF SHITTY SHOW!!!
let him rest in peace
LET HIM REST IN PEACE! and let his family mourn! disgusting!
it was friggin' obvious that the statement:
"I used to smoke five joints a day for 20 years."
was a joke.
the video is from 2 yrs ago, so Heath would have been 26 at the time: that means he started smokin' when he was 6 years old. does that even SEEM plausible to anybody??? sheeshh!
They should respect everyone that grieves for him. Its disgusting what they have done.
im glad at least his peers are looking out for his best interests…its disgusting what those shows will do for viewers…
honor his life and memory!!!
they always spin it for drama— I'm glad that they aren't airing that shit. I hate those shows. Their teasers are better than the show itself.
brittney is back in the hospital.
IM ACTULLY FIRST!
IT SAID NO COMMENTS!
ahaha.
I LOVE HEATH!
good post!
they need to leave his family in peace
Um, weed never killed anyone, so, yeah. That's something the media will never tell you. RIP Heath.
Re: Ecuadorian_Mami –
He didn't say he smoked 5 join 20 years ago,
He said he smoked 5 join a day FOR 20 years.
Yea, he was a druggie, everyone knows that.
He's dead, that's what happens.
move on
about time, like we need to know, private is private!
Why didn't you source this, everybody knows Entertainment Weekly has this story.
Leave him alone! RESPECT HIS FAMILY!
It would be so ironic that Heath, through his death, might put this crazy world of videotaping everything and showing it to everyone, to a halt. Why is the world so obsessed about being seen?? I'm glad it got pulled. Let him rest in peace, and let his family have a break.
If I weren't so irritated that you're talking shit about a talented and gorgeous dead man, I'd be laughing at the fact that you put weed in the same category as ANY other drug. God bless him for smoking weed, once he stopped is probably when he started fucking with harder shit, if that rumor is ever substantiated in the first place. Pot never killed anyone, it never "caused" a person to try hard drugs, it never broke up any families on its own, and it does nothing negative but give a person hardcore munchies and make them content to be lazy. Obviously he wasn't lazy, making Academy Award-winning movies. It certainly would not affect his parenting abilities. You're an idiot, Perez. Drinking's worse than pot.
i love him!!
Holy crap ET. What a good for nothing show! I'm never going to watch it again. I'll stick with Access Hollywood. ET has lost it's credibility to me after the whole Anna Nicole Smith thing happened and how they exploited it to death.
Heath Ledger is great and i really dont care about this stupid video.He is amazing and talented and will be forever remembered like James Dean.So fuck the haters!a bunch of stupid red neck assholes that still lives in the middle age.
Also….would that mean he started somewhere between 6 and 8 years old…..why do I not quite buy that.
Everyone just needs to stop! All this rumour this drugs that.. let the poor soul rest in peace.. Hollywood is do bad for that! i dont even read anything to do with heath anymore its none of our business..
Yeah, like stars would eschew publicity ever! Methinks it was the risk of litigation as well the still fresh wound of his demise.
Meh, I got over it a few days ago.
Tragic, but a million other people have died in the interim, none any less important to someone.
yeah the pieces of the video i saw was of everyone else snorting or whatever. ive been to a party with that going on and just cause i was there didnt mean i did it. i did end up leaving because i don't like being around that shit…
people need to stop dishing up shit just to make headlines
That is horrible. Shame on ET. They just wanted to make it to be some sensational story. Paybacks are hell. I bet their ratings fall.
oh hell no, that's seriously twisted!
If he wasnt doing anything….then why was he worried that his girlfriend was going to be pissed off at him? I heard that much on the clip they showed last night
perez did you not hear that brit is back in the hopital
I'M SORRY, but he's sitting at a table w/ coke on it, the guy next to him is snorting coke while heath's talking & he's got a rolled up bill in his hand. It doesn't take a genius to know what is going on. Not to mention the comment that he's going to caught hell from his girlfriend. Another question is why is someone tapping this?? If he's doing nothing wrong, then there's nothing to tape.
I know his family is upset, but if he had a problem then is will come out.
How the fuck could he have smoked 5 joints a day for 20 years, he was only 28 when he died! He must have started young!!!
i like to masturbate
any idiot would know that the video was bullshit
good I am glad sponsors are getting mad at ET and The Insider. They should never have talked about the video and they shouldn't have mislead viewers. The media is getting ridiculous. they need to stop reporting rumors and if they do shown anything they need to show the whole truth not part of the story.
omg
::( first! almost
it makes me so sad he was so talented and dreamy!
and that's why I got this tattoo [an M, for daughter Matilda] to remind me never to smoke weed again."
:(:( aw omg i could cry
Just goes to show you can't always take everything on face value
The media can manipulate footage badly.. we all know this
The point is, he's dead.. he can't come back. Drug problem or not..
God I feel so sorry for his family having to see this crap broadcast globally
good on you Perez for not being a biased moron.
What a disgrace - it is true the video doesn't show Heath taking drugs. I can't believe they would sully a dead man's name for ratings by creating a false impression. The video DOES NOT show him taking drugs. ET should be ashamed of itself as the damage has now been done.
Well, darling perez, I and the majority of your visitors here, were a 'little upset' you added the link to the said video here!
All is good my lovely, the truth shall prevail.
xxx
let him be…
rip heath
Hooray for something good happening! I used to like ET and swore I would never tune it in again if they showed the video!
IF HE DIDN'T DO DRUGS HOW COME HE DIED AT SUCH YOUNG AGE????
NATURAL CAUSES AT 28 YEARS OLD DON'T THINK SO!!
I'M PRETTY SURE HE OVERDOSED!!!
SOMETIMES THE TRUTH HURTS!!!!!!!
I wish these fucking loser ass people would stop tarnishing his memory. he was a great person, actor, father, etc.. and he will be sorely missed, as much as he was loved when he was alive. it tears me apart to read and watch and hear all this garbage about heath. may peace and dignity be with his family and loved ones. rip heath.
thanks perez for the respect you've given at this emotional time.
The media doing what it does best…. distorting the facts to get ratings. Sickening! RIP Heath.
Good I'm glad they did that I know I never have watched et or the insider but if i did i would have definently boycotted them
Yeah fuck them if they show that video.
Who smokes weed at 6 years old?
smoking weed since the age of 6?!BAD
giving it up for the sake of your daughter?!GOOD
being heath ledger?!GREAT.
now just let this gorgeous soul rest in peace peoplee!
Only 5 a day???? That ain't SHIT!!!!!
The spin doctors are out in force.
Heath used drugs and he used them a LOT. Why do you think Michelle wanted so little to do with him?
You can pretend he wasn't a druggie but sorry, he was.
Wow, imagine media sources actually showing a clip that was MISLEADING. I can't imagine any worthy person, television show or WEBSITE showing that video and having the audacity to then print things were left out. Your hypocrisy (and spelling errors) truly amaze me sometimes.
Why did he start smoking weed when he was 8!!
I wish they had shown that bit too. Its really annoying me how people are doing this to his memory. Hollywood has turned into a disgusting thing
THIS FAG DESERVED TO DIE
THIS FAG DESERVED TO DIE
THIS FAG DESERVED TO DIE
THIS CRACKHEAD SHOULD HAVE NEVER PROMOTED HOMOSEXUALITY! GODS JUDGEMENT ON HIM WAS DEATH. GOD HATES FAGS AND ALL FAGS WILL DIE OF AIDS AND BURN IN HELL!!!!!!!
I can't get my head around how many idiots come to this site and give Perezzers shit? it's like WHAT IN THE F*CK ARE YOU DOING HERE THEN?
omg everytime you click on his page you are just boosting his popularity, giving him more $'s and making him happy. regardless of what u think of him.
I LOVE PEREZ. He's down to earth, funny, sensitive when the situation calls for it.. and when he calls people like Teri Hatcher and Nicole fat.. DUH he's being sarcastic.. god some of you are sad…
GO PEREZ YOU ROCK MY WORLD I COME HERE EVERYDAY! love ya!
STOP POSTING THIS CRAP ALREADY Perez Please!
I read your pages for a looong as time, you are beyond all dignity here.
Stop it please, or MY dignity bids me to never visit again.
JESUS 'H' CHRIST!
What is with Hollyweird trying to make people look bad even though they know it'll only cause upset and its not even true. It truely sick. The worlds entertainment industry want to stop lying their asses off and being the scum of the earth
UGH ET sucks!!!!! I'm all about salacious crap but when it comes to death GET A LIFE! He was a good guy and up until his death we've never heard bad about him. For crying out loud let the guy rest in PEACE…and FYI ET Mary Hart w/o make up looks like she's DEAD!!!!!! Thank goodness for pounds of makeup and good lighting otherwise people may mistakingly start airing her dirty laundry because they think she's dead!!!!
he smoked 5 joints a day for 20 years??????????????????????
he was 28 when he died.
27 when the video was filmed.
so he smoked 5 joints a day from the time he was 7 years old?
They suck! How can a dead man defend himself. I didn't see him doing any drugs on that tape. If he wasn't taking illegal drugs when he died, how would he be able to convey that to the public now that he's dead. Maybe he was getting too much love from the public and someone didn't like it. Wrong move, the public still loves him.
They always have to cut clips to make the person look bad. when do they have to do this now. It was 2 years ago!! Come on! You would never see anything about him when he was alive and now the are just making it look like he was this party animal. Why Now??? RIP Heath. You will never be forgotten you will always be remembered as a wonderful Father and respected actor!
In repsonse to #73 (Orpah)
If Heath promoted homosexuality (which you think is bad)
All YOU are promoting is ignorance and stupidity my dear
Never smoke weed again because your daughter was born?
I'm truly sorry to hear that …
But RIP anywayz.
** JUST TO QUICKLY SAY **
"Smoked 5 joints a day for 20 years"
he mustve been on something or drunk clearly he is 28 thats not possible he was a little mistaken we all exagerate/say silly things when udner influence
isnt he like 28? how could he have smoked for 20 years
I WILL NEVER WATCH THIS!!!! NEVER!!!
The show the fucker!
unfu**ing believable. I hate ET. They are so full of crap, and will say/show ANYTHING to make people watch. They are sickening. They almost NEED to show the whole thing now, just to clear his name. To show people that they f'd up.
This just makes me sick. Thanks Perez, for helping get the truth out.
the worst part of it all is that the whole story will never be revealed not as dramatically as the video and the nonsense that surrounded it all yesterday… it's amazing how much control the media has on all of our lives!
Re: Ecuadorian_Mami –
he is being "left" alone, he is dead.
he can not be hurt anymore by gossip, rumor mongering and lies.
if you do not approve of gossip, what in hell are you doing visiting this blog?
20 YEARS?! I heard him say that in the vid… but I have a hard time believing it. He was 26 at the time. So he started smoking weed at 6?? Maybe he was exaggerating just a little!! These people need to stop taking all this shit so seriously. Like Perez said, the vid NEVER shows Heath doing drugs.
