Are you kidding me?Is this a bad joke?
I can't believe it's true sooo young and a little daughter.

It's funny how when a celebrity dies it really effects everyone..
R.I.P. Heath

Exclusively? Honey, yahoo, msn and cnn got the same "exclusive" tip.
I'm removing your site from my bookmarks, you are such a freakin drama queen, and half the time you can't even report the "news" correctly, or spell names. jeez

i found out on radio before you
R.I.P.
CA-RA-ZY
I'm from Perth (where Heath grow up) and this has hit Perth pretty hard. He was our boy and we are in shock over this.
RIP Heath you will be missed.
It sounds like a really bad joke, still can't believe it.
IM SO SAD HE WAS SO CUTE AND SO YOUNG! I HOPE PEOPLE LEARN FROM THIS!!!
noooooooooooooooooooo!!! i love him :'(
who will be my patrick verona nowww :'(
rip i love you!
OMG! First Brad Renfro now Heath! This is crazy.
Wow. Sucks. GREAT ACTOR.
WHY SO SERIOUS?
I can't believe this. It's so tragic and horrible. I feel so badly for his family and especially his baby girl. So sad. RIP Heath, you'll be missed.
WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY…………………..
.
.
couldn't it have been BRITNEY instead?
.
Should've been Shitney, not Heath.
did he drop any good loot?
Heath Ledger dead. Can anything be bad enough to take your own life. How very sad!!
OH MY GOD!!! NOOO!
This is soooo shocking. Well, if it was drugs as suspected, he kept his habit hidden, at least from the public eye. I feel so bad for his family. Drug addiction is the worst
I mean with Brad Renfro, it was still sad, and somewhat suprising, but Heath Ledger's death comes as a total shock!!
OMG!
Cant believe it.
He was on the top of my hot list and fav. actors.
I never expected him to be unhappy.
RIP handsome!
my life is over .
RIP =[
maybe he doesn't have a drug problem and its a suicide. i mean…michelle and heath just broke up recently. maybe he was depressed.
At least Heath was hot…Anna Nicole was just a mess *no offense*
But seriously, this is overrated. Yes, he is a good actor and he was soon to be Joker in the new Batman Movie, and yes, he has a daughter, but imagine how many people die in third world countries, or in Afghanistan? Yeah, no one knows their name, THAT'S SAD. Kinda Overrated
RIP Heath. Leave him alone Paparazzo!
Drugs are not the answer, sad.. such a shame
Re: ckc – WHY ARE ASSHOLES LIKE YOURSELF IS STILL ALIVE AND LIVE LONGER????? THIS IS WAHT IS EVEN MORE SAD HEARTLESS PIECE OF SHIT LIKE YOU IS STILL BREATHING, DOUCHE BAG !!!!!!!!!
SOOO SAD!
my heart just fell out of my ass and I cant breathe… I feel so sorry for his daughter.
Rest in peace Heath. Oh Lord, please guide Heath to heaven where he will find peace and wipe the sadness in his heart away, in Jesus name, amen.
He didn't have a drug problem people. He was tired after filming Batman and using sleeping pills to get some rest. He accidently took too many - bloody things don't work as well when you have been taking them day in day out for weeks. Heart attack. He was a grounded, geniune guy who liked his privacy. I know - he's a mate of a girlfriend of mine. Not everyone in Hollywood has an illicit drug problem.
Exclusive? WTF! Youre an idiot Mario, get your head out of Parasites ass. This is no more of an exclusive than you telling the world youre pathetic scum. Can't even let the dead rest in peace. What a piece of shit you are!
omg…are u kiddin me?!
wow i am in shock. i had to read the headline 3 times, i tought i was reding it wrong. very sad and unexpected. i feel sorry for his little girl, and her mom. my codolences to heaths family. Rip Heath
Re: Dumb Ass Celebrities –
You people are all idiots - it was sleeping pills. He's no junkie. Keep up with the breaking news will you. He's just finished filming Batman for your viewing pleasure and was exhausted. Not everyone in Hollywood is a junkie - stop slandering a decent, grounded guy. Bloody sleeping pills stop working when you take them for weeks on end and so you take more to get to sleep. Blame the drug companies not the victim. He had a heart attack because of them.
tht's so sad
he was a great actor and died begore the release of batman
r.i.p
i cant beleve this its terrible really sad i just bought broke back mountain and thought he did a great job in it my heart goes out to his wife and of course his first love naomi xxx
Re: Andie – HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA reliable source? If your talking about dumb fuck pigez you obviously have NOOOOOO idea what a reliable source is!!! FUcking moron…////
RIP Heath instead of assuming you were some junkie and passing some uniformed judgment on you for it I will ALWAYS respect your work and incredible talent!!!
holy crap…i heard this about 15 minutes ago from my dad who is tight with movie execs who knew heath well…i came on perez to see if it was true…i can't believe it.
AMY WINEHOUSE SHOULD BE DEAD….NOT HEATH!
So shocking this… My god, why???
dammit! this should have been britney. die already you bitch. you are fucking up the karma.
Re: Mary –
He is not a drug addict people!!! Read the news! It was sleeping pills. I'm cross with you for all jumping on that "junkie" band wagon - I'm an Aussie and he is mates with a friend of mine. Heath is a decent grounded guy who worked too hard. It's an absolute tragic waste. Get angry with the drug companies who made the deadly sleeping pills - they work a bit too well don't you think?
How very sad……what a shock! RIP.
We miss you already, such a talented actor and you always seemed like a good guy. So sad that he has a daughter who'll grow up without any memory of her dad, tragic tragic tragic!
OMG I couldn't believe it, I had to come here to confirm. So very sad. He was so young and full of promise, and the baby…….OMG
Watch over youar baby girl!
This is so sad, my prayers go out to his family
im still in shock …
Heath-
Watch over your girl!
Exclusive my ass! You need better sources. This was everywhere before it was here. But leave it to Mario to exploit even DEAD celebrities. What a total waste of oxygen you are Mario. Go kill yourself and put it on this site as an "exclusive"!
HOLY COW!!!!
OMG, Im fuckin speechlesssss, rest in peace man.
Holy crap, R.I.P man, you will be missed!

Re: Hal R Hosfeld – You asshole! WTF is your problem?
That's so sad. His poor daughter!
R.I.P. Heath.
i am so disturbed and saddened by this.
This is so shocking. When I first heard the news I broke down and cried. I mean HEATH LEDGER, I would of never seen this coming in a million years. Such an amazing talent. RIP
C'est trop triste!! :'(
such sad news to hear. Heath was a fantastic actor and its such a shame he's died so young…what a waste of such a talented actor. RIP Heath.xx
This was an utter and complete shock to me
He was to young and his career was going well…… I wonder y he took his own life? well we'll just never know all we know is that a talented actor took his life away way to early I pray for him and his family especially his children who'll never really know who their dad was ::::::Sad:::::::::
OMG
THIS IS THE SADDEST NEWS EVERRRRRRR
OH GOD……HIS POOR DAUGHTER…
THIS FUCKING SUCKS.I FEEL LIKE CRYING
WAT THE HECK??i cant believe this
shocked:0
It´s so sad- just think about his babygirl Matilda…
a girl needs her dad!
If you want to watch Heath at his best then watch "CASANOVA" by Lasse Hallstrom co-starring Sienna Miller- Heath is brilliant!
that is so sad…I can't believe it!!
Just like Anna Nicole's death. it seems surreal….he had huge potential.
well, rest in peace!
I was super shocked when I read this news first on people.com, like my stomach dropped when I read it. I still can't believe it and I'm still in shock. He was so talented.
its so terrible sad!
can't realize it..his poor daughter..
holy cow i love heath ledger well hes in a better place people will miss him well R.I.P heath leadger
Really sad cant believe it! All of Australia is in shock!
Rest in peace Heath, you didn't deserve to leave the world, the way you did. xoxox
This is Trully a Sad and Tragic loss!!!
Im in total shock. He was a true talent! Why is it that the most talented are the most destructive, i.e. Amy Winehouse!
Who's next????????????
what a sad day for hollywood
!!!!!! a great actor gone rest in peace n my heart is with is family 
This makes me so sad
god i'm in chock! ….
This is just TOO sad. What a tragic loss!!! Poor Matilda….
R.I.P his poor daughter. its so sad i could barley watch the video of him.
Wow that is very sad news… i guess he wont suffer no more.. maybe jesus wanted him more than we did.
How sad…A very good actor..
My thoughts are with his family…Especially his daughter..:(
:(
you called it first perez. I didn't believe it and then an hour after you posted it it was true. Thanks for the info Sooo Sad!!!! At least Brittany still is alive!! NOT!!
damn. i loved that fool. rest in peace, heath. you'll be missed.
Still in a state of shock on hearing of Heath's death - R.I.P. from all your fans and firends in Australia!
It really is sad that this man has died and he will be mourned.
That said I can't miss the opportunity to point out the predatory and parasitic nature of Miss Perez Hilton - weren't you "exclusively" reporting hours ago that one of the Olsen twins was with him? Guess some high powered lawyer, paid by an even higher powered celebrity got sick of your shit & forced you to take that slander off your site. If it's not true I applaud you for removing it - but the fact that you took it off without even acknowledging your mistake is soooo telling of your true drama addicted, rumor spreading, parasitic nature.
That's so sad. He was so talented.
I feel like crying. He was such an inspiration for me. He was so mature and tried to do a change. Life is so sad…
R.I.P. Heath Ledger. Such a young talented man. My Condolences go out to his family.
it's sad !!!
WOW
So Sad
FFFFIRST!!!!!!!
YOU'RE A SICK MAN. EVEN IN THE TRAGIC DEATH OF SOMEONE ALL YOU WANT TO DO IS CLAIM IT AS AN EXCLUSIVE STORY FOR YOU TO PROMOTE YOUR OWN ASS? DO YOU HAVE ANY MORALS? IS THE WORLD A JUST A STAGE FOR YOUR GROSS INCESSANT NEED FOR ATTENTION?
i am completely heartbroken. so tragic.
I CANT BELIEVE IT, I MEET HIM ABOUT A YEAR AGO AND HE WAS A VERY NICE MAN, HE HAD A GREAT PERSONALITY AND A GREAT SINCE OF HUMOR, I WAS A BIG FAN I WATCHED ALL OF HIS FILMS, I JUST CANT BELIEVE HE'S GONE……….. :….(
RIP Heath Ledger. The world is going to miss your amazing acting, your sexy accent, and that incredible body. Only the good die young…
This is very sad! Heath Ledger was a great actor and had a very promising carrer, man… I wish it was Britney dead and not him… very sad…
as i sit in my office im looking at the rain falling on hollywood blvd. and how this is a truly tragic death. such a talent, such a loss.
