Let us remember both!

Rest in peace Heath..
first?
sad!
first
thanks for noticing mlk's death perez.
rest in peace!
I wouldn't say he was one of the greatest Americans to ever live, as if Americans are great
trivializing MLK's life by including him in a post with heath ledger? no offense to heath, but that's fucked up.
Umm you cant even put these two in the same category. What did Heath do to change the views of America?!?!? This is an insult to Martin Luther King and what he fought for. You can dish about Celebs but you can give this man respect enough to have his OWN memorandum issued in a seperate statement from a celebrity?? You have got to be kidding me
R.I.P. Heath. God bless you!!
I have a dream…
that perez will start respecting everyone's opinions…and not just his own.
How can you even put those 2 in the same sentence??
Well intentioned to be sure, but honestly I think Dr. King deserves a separate "Let's Remember Great People" bracket from Heath Ledger. Then again, he was all about equality…
Heath Ledger cannot compare to the late great Dr. Martin Luther King. Perez post heath separate not with MLK…but this is a celeb gossip blog….what am I expecting???
okay, here comes the onslaught of racist comments. rest in peace Dr. King and Heath.
May they rest in peace and be remembered fondly.

How can you compare the death of Martin Luther King to Heath Ledgers birthday?
One died due to mixing medications
The other was murdered because he was trying to change the world
Not that i'm trying to take anything away from Heath Ledger, he was a great actor and dying at 28 is a tragedy… but lets have a little perspective.
Re: 3 – Re: 3 – Fuck you!! There's NO PLACE GREATER THAN AMERICA!!!
for real? Martin Luther King…one of the greatest civil activists to ever live…and Heath Ledger…some actor who overdosed..
Personally, i dont see the relevance of even mentioning Ledger in the same sentence as Dr. king…
rest in peace to both of you, dr king, you are stil an inspiration and still so relevant to our times. if it weren't for you, we don't know where we would be right now.
Yeeeeeah!!! MLK!!!!
RIP you very missed Heath, your star is brighter than ever in peoples hearts!
MLK - what a shame he was murdered. He still continues to be an inspiration
RIP MLK SOME OF YOUR DREAM CAME TRUE. BUT THEIR IS STILL A LONG WAY TO GO BUT THANKS TO YOU AND OTHERS AT LEAST THEIR IS NO MORE SEREGATION.
RIP xo
People celebrate but then again look at all the things that are happening in Los Angeles? All the fights and deaths… SAD.
Many people are discussing it on 'millionair efriends com'. It is popular here.
Yeah, really analagous. Idiot.
Very good of you to do this Perez. RIP Heath. God bless Martin Luther King.
RIP also. As Elton would have song how wonderful life is when you're in
the world! God bless.
Lol! I agree with you on MLK . But putting H.L. in the same rememberance is an insult to MLK.
CHIM-PAN-ZZZZZZ
it's also maya angelou's 80th bday
Rest in peace to the both.
xxxx
OMG. Is this really news today? Do we have to see this all over the news? A few months ago it was his Birthday, now its the day he died. Geesh. Enough.
I think its just being exploited today because Barack will probably be running for the Presidency. You know damn well he is gonna milk it for all he is worth today. He will probably lead the parade.
Re: 3 –
Go F yourself #3… like where you live is a great place!?!?! Probably some GD communist country. GL w/ that!!
This crystalizes your disdain or at least total disregard for African-American issues. You only share concerns about Cuban, huspanic, or GBLT issues.
I think Heath was a great actor but to combine the legacy of King with Heath's is disrespectful to King. (I mean no disrespect to Heath or his own legacy.)
ALL AMERICANS BLACK, WHITE, HISPANIC, ASIAN, ETC…..NEED TO GIVE THANKS TO MLK, JR. FOR MAKING THIS COUNTRY EVEN GREATER!
btw, Perez, how can you mention Heath in the same post. He can't even compare. You are SO stupid!
Who fuckin' cares about MLK? Yeah, he changed so much. Take a look at this country, it's fucked.
one of the greatest americans to ever live? that's a BIT of a stretch. no. a LOT of a stretch
wtf, how the heck are you gunna throw heath in there, like he is of any importance compared to mlk?
The civil rights movement owes a debt of gratitude to Mr. Ledger.
love and miss you heath
really? can you honestly even compare the two. that's just fucked up. martin luther king jr, who changed the face of a nation, and a fucking actor. wow, you need to get your head readjusted.
