Law & Order Does Heath Ledger

Filed under: TV News > Heath Ledger

heath1__opt.jpg

Not surprisingly, Law & Order is ripping one straight from the headlines.

But this time they're doing a thinly veiled plot modeled after the death of Heathus Christ.

A show insider says the script revolves around a successful male actor with a fabulous career and no problem bringing the ladies home.

The character dies of an overdose after leaving a club with a girl, doing a bunch of drugs and having a bunch of sex, and then next thing you know, the model guy is dead.

Hmmm!

Is it too soon?

  10. 10

    Too soon.



  11. 11

    too soon



  12. 12

    It sounds like a typical story line to me.. i don't really associate it with just Heath. It also depends on age.. the story sounds like Law and Order would do it with a possibly younger male in early to mid twenties.. where if they did it with a guy around 30 divorced with one child.. i could see that it is more like the Heath reality. We will have to see how similar they make the relationships in the show than just a drug overdosed actor

    Re: Major Dude V.P. Marketing / Balsac LLC – MD, I think for X-mas will expand and introduce the "Major Dude" line of douches & dildos! You're thoughts?



  14. 14

    I still can't believe that he is dead!
    such a tremendous lost.
    so sad!

  16. 16

  17. 17

  18. 18

    Re: SweetPat – HEY GIRL, YOU SHOULD SEE ALL THE LOVELY COMMENTS I GOT ON PEREZ'S VIDEO POST! GOOD TIMES!



  22. 22

    Definately think it's too early..I don't know about that whole concept to be honest..



  23. 23

    I want my Joker daddy back. Batman is so going to pay for this one. No excuses, I don't care. I'm taking it out on Batman.



  24. 24

    yes it is to soon. so would be forever. this is disgusting. a really sad and unfortunate thing happened and the frickin media is once again just trying to make money no matter what the cost for his family. it makes me sad.



  25. 25

    Re: harrybalsac – YAH I AM JUST WORKING HARD LIKE USUAL!!!



  26. 26

    Sounds kinda cool. But I just knowHeath's family is gonna be pissed!!



  27. 27

    Re: LettyB Thanks All Her Fans! – I just read them….your fans need to get over themselves…we are just having fun here!!!
    People kiss Perezs ass too much!



  28. 28

    Why would it be to soon!! The fucker is dead. So move on. Not like most of us knew him personally.



  29. 29

    law and order, csi, etc do take stories out of the news. BUT, a male actor doing drugs, having sex and dying does NOT have to be about heath ledger. If perez watched the shows and reading the paper he would realize that.



  30. 30

    so its ok for them to do an anna nicole type show like the second she died… but people want to throw a shit fit because they waited almost a year for heath? i mean were people just waiting for her to die and to profit off of it? i dont understand how everyone can be so hypocritical! dont get me wrong i was so sad for his family when he died, but how is this any different from the anna nicole episode which was done a lot sooner than a year!!



  31. 31

    What a stupid question..Is it too soon?? Law & Order often gets their script ideas from the news…why should this plot line be any different. The man was an actor people…not the next Budda.



  32. 32

    I can't wait for the made for tv movie that ABC is planning about the attacks in India. Never to soon for that.



  33. 33

    Ledger was gone too soon……..



  34. 34

    why so serious?



  35. 35

    thats not the same story



  36. 36

    it could be everyone!!



  37. 37

    i dont think this is necessary



  38. 38

    yes its too soon, dumbshits! michelle is gonna be sad and pissed. not cool.



  39. 39

    too soon too soon too soon too soon too soon.
    in fact, don't ever do an episode like that.
    exploiting someones death like that is incredibly disrespectful to the families, and the departed.



  40. 40

    It's not too soon. Law&Order is a great fucking show in case you've never watched it Perez!!! The purpose of the show is that they do it based on recent and controversial headlines….POINT BEING….it's never too soon.



  41. 41

    heath is georgeous, but isnt it disrespectful to him to do this`?
    I want to keep his memory as it is.



  42. 42

    I do love Law and Order, and the other night I saw an episode that was on course to possibly be about heath, but wasn't… and I actually thought it would be a matter of time before they did portray his story… too soon? absolutely… he wasn't an anna nicole… we actually cared for him as a human… not a tabloid story.



  43. 43

    That is so fucked up some peope really need to back off!



  44. 44

    a bit soon but i love heath. at the start of the post you say its an actor then at the end its changed to a model. which is it?



  45. 45

    Yes, it is too soon.

    Missing you Heath. xoxoxoxo



  46. 46

    Oh people. Stop mopping and whining about his death. Remember? nobody cared about him before his death in new york city. I can't believe you people cared about him so much after his death because of drug over dose. He deserved to be dead, leaving his family and doing drugs. Batman only used his death for publicity! Just saying.



  47. 47

    i think maybe too soon

  48. fiona says – reply to this


    48

    You have no respect, either for Heath or God. Grow up jerk.



  49. 49

    This concept was done on CSI a couple seasons ago. If they "ripped" anything, its from CSI's old episodes.



  50. 50

    It's a fairly generic story line I agree, could be about any dead actor. Sounds more like River Phoenix than Heath Ledger though. River O.D'd at a club on heroin (I think) and Heath at home on prescription sleep tablets and anti anxiety drugs. A bit different.
    .
    And Heathus Christ? Go fuck yourself you fat pig. His name was Heath Ledger, be respectful of the dead!



  51. 51

    I don't watch Law & Order, but I would watch that one! I wonder if the girl that he had sex with and did drugs with was MK??



  52. 52

    I think they got the basic idea from his death, but for the most part they are going to do their own thing. They also had an episode based off of the Natalee Hollway story, but it was generic enough that you had to know what was even going on with her case to get the parts that were based on her and those that weren't.



  53. 53

    plot whores…

    —————————————–
    Um, hence his phrase "not surprisingly"?



  55. 55

    Well, not to be a bummer but I actually already saw an episode like that in CSI! Just like that, though it's an old one…



  56. 56

    People die from abusing RX drugs all the time Heath's just another one of the. WTF is wrong with dying anyway??? I call it graduation day out of hell…

    Re: elizabeth.molina23

  58. 58

  60. 60
