I BIG HEART YOU HEATH! R.I.P my love goes out to Michelle and Matilda at this time. xoxo
Seriously sooo sad, its so hard to believe. I want to watch 10 things i hate about you with ben & jerrys and cry….love you heath xxx
This really upset me.
My thoughts are with his family.
:(
I am so shocked!!!
I loved Heath!!! =(
Such a good actor..
sympathfor michelle and matilda…
Oh f*ck the NYC hipsters, seriously. Get over yourselves.
it can't be true. i won't believe it. he is such a wonderful actor. i love him. if it is ture…why did he do it? i want to know now!!!!!!! i'm sooooo freakin sad!
:(
Re: liz –
show some respect. just because you may not have liked him doesnt mean he wasnt a good actor, and the deceased deserve respect!
if this drug overdose was on purpose its ashame, that he would do that to his 2 year old daughter. so many hollywood actors and actresses commit suicide and leave children behind that are often young ex; Kurt Cobain. its ridiculous, their children should be the reason they live. now matilda will never know her daddy.
I'm here in NY, and I have an unconfirmed report that he was in an Olsen twin's apartment. Perez, I'd love for you to confirm the rumor!
And on a more serious note, RIP Heath. It's never good when someone so young dies, no matter what you may think of the person.
used to surf with him in perth, Oz….he didnt really want Hollywood, Hollywood wanted him. To those who r so shallow & heartless 2 write negative & hurtful comments….shame on u….watch out 4 Karma
really fucking sad.
no wonder mathilda always looks so bummed out.
heath and michelle must have been going through some really hard times.
heartbreaking.
NUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
/grabs at the air like if his soul was there
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
over the decades there have been sum seriously good actors,most have died of old age ,or are on their way out shame really,in todays world their seems to be a serious lack of damm good and unusual special actors ones who are realy good at what they do ,with that special something you cant quite put your finger on, and seriously hot to boot ,heath had it all and so much talent now gone to waste ,what are we to do now ?. Those type of actors come along very rarely ,what a waste if it was suicide its a damm shame it just goes to show you can have the whole american dream and be as miserable as sin.But if its just a sad case of a drugs overdose damm shame on you heath ,you've seen the stories look at river phoenix etc ,you had a little girl to think of ,shame on you ,how will she feel knowing her father had hit rock bottem but coudnt work at LIVING at life ,at least for her ,hope that your at peace now and your demons laid to rest ,we may not have known you personally ,but we'll miss you and all the great films you coud have made if you had lived love kea go in peacexxxxxxxxxxx
so fucking sad. i feel so terrible for his friends and family, especially matilda. that poor thing.
What a fraud and a coward….i'll bet his two year old little girl will grow up so proud of her daddy. I hope you burn in hell.
We are here to mourn the loss of the great australian actor! May he rest in peace we all loved you heath!!
But seriously you guys Perez is only going on what he has been told!! and all the other news ppl got told the same thing!! If you don't like this guy fuck off and don't visit his website!! Go back to "the right one"
you's are paying out on some guy who is telling you what is goinging on in the world when we are supposed to be mourning the death of Heath!!
My prays go out to his little daughter!! May he rest in Piece
Masseuse? Is that code for "booked hooker"?
This is so sad! He was probably the last person I would expect to overdose on something. I feel terrible for his loved ones, especially his daughter!
omfg!noO!!!
that is so sad!
RIP
He was one of the most talented actors of his generation. I am super pissed!!!
i fell in love with him on the knight's tale then brokeback im so in shock.May your soul rest in peace Heather.xoxo
i think this is all a scandle!!! plus Heath is TOO and i mean TOO sexy to DIE!!
I THINK THIS IS TOTALY FAKE!!! PLUS HE IS WAY TO SEXY TO DIE SO YOUNG!!
this is incredibly sad! and yes it is true for all the people who think it is lies..just such a loss…
how could a father even toy around with any pills when he has a family!?!?! the poor daughter… its too bad she is too young to realize how dumb it was on her fathers part… but in his defense, work must have been tough but there are other options
this totally ruined my whole week. WHAT THE HECK!!!
i'll never be able to watch 10 things i hate about you in the same way
hmm.. Accidental overdose or suicide? That is the question.
From what friends have told me he was kind, caring and not very selfish..
But people are not always as they seem..
Maybe he did off him self for some unknown selfish reason.. could have been some unselfish reason if he did purposely off him self that is… or maybe he just wanted to sleep and popped one to many, spilled the bottle and finally got some rest.. an everlasting sleep that he can never come out of.. just looking like suicide.. but in this world… WHO THE FUCK KNOWS?
R.I.P
rest in peace heath! you were too young
I'm shock, I still can't believe this is happened, I like him since 10 Things I Hate About You and can't wait for his performance as Joker in Dark Knight. I feel sorry for his daughter, now Matilda will grow up without his Dad.
this is heartbreaking. i really loved him as an actor. my thoughts and prayers are with him
I CANT BELIEVE IT….. IVE BEEN A BIG FAN SINCE I SAW HIM IN "10 THINGS I HATE ABOUT YOU" …SO SAD =( R.I.P HEATH!
This is such a tragedy for our young Australian actor, may God rest his soul, & may God comfort his family & close friends through this sad ordeal God bless you Heath you were such an awesome actor & gr8 role model for the young men of Australia wanting to pursue a career in the Big Hollywood star industry xxxxxxxxxxxx R.I.P Heath Ledger April 04/79-22/08 xxxxxxxxxxxx
WHAT THE FUCK OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
THIS IS NOT HAPPENING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
waaaaaaa
=(
=(
=(
=(
i love you heath
thinking about him dancing and singing in 10 things i hate about you just makes my heart ache
he was beautiful. sorry to hear of his untimely death. god bless him and the loved ones he has left behind.
that was very unexpected… out of all the hollywood actors!!!
man i was looking forward to seeing him as joker on the new batman too
rip
R.I.P. HEATH..I LOVE YOU
omg is that tru? cant belive it
he is - was - one of my fav actors
please quote the New York Times, as this was copied verbatim from their website.
omg this cant be true, i'll miss him so much =(
This is such a shock. Whatever the cause i think its extremely insensitive to suggest that suicide is selfish. Of course it is tragic for those left behind but someone who takes their own life because of personal demons deserves our deepest sympathy, not scorn or swearwords. Enough of this faux coolness or inarticulate criticisms. This is genuinely sad.
oommffg, i miss him already i made a plan to marry him and now hes gone!!!!!!!
I LOVEE HEATTTTTTTTTHHHHHHHH!!
riiiipp.
i cryed for 3 hourse.
What an idiot!!!!
He's worked hard to get where he was & threw it all away for drugs.
That's what happens when you get to much to soon.
I'm in shock!!! I can't believe this happened, I mean, what about Michelle, what about his daughter???
He was a young full of life guy who seemed to be happy…
I just don't understand these things…
I'll never be able to watch 10 things i hate about you the same way again. Ah!
I am very saddened to hear of his passing. They are saying he had pneumonia, and that while he had had substance problems before, he had been clean a year. Heath Ledger was a very talented actor, and his death is a significant loss to Hollywood. My condolences to Michelle, Matilda, his parents and everyone else close to him.
It's terrble. Terrible. I'm sad.
It's terrble. Terrible. I'm sad.
He was in his twenties. He had already made more money than 6 average working people will make in their lives. If he hated his life, he could have junked everything and started over. Life could have been a breeze. And he threw it away. Boo hoo hoo.
what a great loss. RIP. I will miss your face:( see you in heaven!
Re: jlau –
Is all you can think about is a movie? How disrespectful!
i have cried 4 times already…God bless Heath..rest in peace beautiful dark one
So very sad. He was young, brimming with talent and had the advantage of every opportunity in the world. Let this be a sad and tragic lesson, that life is fragile enough as it is; why add the risk of drugs? Perez, please allow his family and friends to mourn their loss and celebrate his life, without the glare of camera flashes. They deserve your respect and space.
biggest loss…
r.i.p heath..
amazing actor
Its so sad, your whole website is sad. Tonight I came to look at it after a friend told me you will have up to date info about how Heath passed. Its no wonder these people are tormented, I would never want to be a celeb and honestly I dont think they do either. Most just want to express themselves and to do what they are good at. They don't want the fame. They live in such sheltered paranoid states. Heath obviously learned this, so did Brad Renfro and hundreds of others in the past. Its just sad, they just want to do what comes natural they don't realize they are selling themselves to satin until after the deal is sealed. They truly want an escape, they want anonymity and once its gone they search for it. I go to work everyday and am also a type of artist yet I am always able to remain anonymous. There aren't people standing outside my door. Its so so sad. So many of these brilliant artists just want to be an artist, they don't want to be in the limelight. Artists come in so many forms, yet a painter, a writer, and a sculptor can create their art and still remain out of the spotlight. So sad, so sad. You just want to help them get away from stalkers like you.
Arrivederci
may he rest in peace
i cant believe this! i had no idea abt this, it hasnt even been all over the news like it should be! i loved heath sooooo much, he was a great actor. my symathy's to his family and friends. xxx
fuck up.
this is just so sad, and unexpected… its so sad, he's so young… just makes u think how short life can actually be for some of us… this is f'd up.
this is such a complete tragedy.. i find it extremely hard to believe that he did this intentionally.. (however who's to know what he was dealing with). my hopes are that it was an accident.. for Matilda's sake at least.
he was an amazing icon, astounding actor and incredible person. he will be truly missed
in utter shock… RIP heath
this is soooo sad and of course completely unexpected. i was shocked, to say the least. man i feel for the family. R.I.P.
i seriously cried, this is awful, he was beautiful.
RIP!!!!!!!
i havent seen brokebck mountain but i am looking forward to!
seriously this guy didnt deserve thiss!!!!!!!!!!:(:(:(
R.I.P Heath Ledger. EVERYONE INSTEAD OF TALKING ABOUT HOW YOU KNEW HIM, OR WHY HE DID IT, OR TALKING ABOUT HOW YOU THINK HE HAD HIS STUFF TOGETHER…IT WAS PROBALY AN ACCIDENT…AND WE NEED TO PRAY FOR HIS FAMILY, AND HIS FRIENDS WHO ARE HURT OVER THIS! HEATH LEDGER WAS A GREAT MAN, AND I BELIEVE HE WAS AN AMAZING ACTOR AND A GREAT PERSON…THOUGH I NEVER MET HIM…HE WAS A JOY TO WATCH ON TELEVISION.
People, stop ragging on him until the truth is known. I heard that he had pnemonia… so yes, maybe there were sleeping pills there to help him sleep too because he was so sick, but YOU CAN die from pnemonia. No matter the cause, it is a sad tragedy and no one should be ragging on him, may he rest in peace, and peace be with his family during this time.
omg, my hottt boyfriend is dead….how could this have happened….im crying….omggggg……….i love him!
Lol perez i love how you bash every fucking artist ( exept the gay ones Lol).Yet you are even worst LoL i mean have you ever dissed a gay man ????? hmmmm?? that's right now go suck a dick you fat fuck
"Masseuse" is not the correct term used for Massage Therapist–a masseuse gives sexual favors where as, a massage therapist gives massage. So which was it? A masseuse or a massage therapist?
soooo sad
Ennis DelMar(Heathcliff Andrew Ledger) you will be missed. My prayers go out to your many friends and family throughout the world.
I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOO sad by this news. It really is terribly tragic and anyone who says otherwise has no heart!!!!!
The Terry Gilliam Curse Lives!!!
this is sooo sad like i am sooo shocked…his poor lil daughter Matilda she will never know her father..:'(..too sad
rest in peace young man. you can be an angel now. miss u
Re: liz – Re: liz – wut a little rude girl u are!
R.I.P. Heath Ledger
When I heard about this I felt so sad. There are so many untalented celebraties out there that it was refreshing to see a true talent. My heart goes out to his daughter and Michelle Williams. I hope that other celebrities will see this and realize how important it is to not rely on medicaitons to solve all their problems.
Im thinking maybe he had an undetected heart condtion.. stress and too many sleeping pills might have caused his heart tolock up.. Maybe he had had blood pressure.. who knows…
God bless Heath and his family.
WOW ANOTHER DRUGGIE BITES THE DUST!
So Sad, He's my Favorite Actor Ever… R.I.P Heath…you'll Be Missed… Love You….
Omg thats so random!!
Heath was a great man, and loved.
Hollywood to blame? #1, he lived in NYC not LA, he's from AUS and never lived in HO-llywood. We may never know why, but I think he took too many OTC drugs to try to get sleep.
im from aus and heard this going to work i was like wtf, he was amazing, how ironic he played a drug addict in the movie Candy.
so sad such a waste
r.i.p Heath
Not a masseuse - a masseur. The media has assumed the massage therapist had tits. He didn't. He's a male escort. The official statements used gender-neutral language, hoping not stir things up.
Re: liz – ahh wtf he just died u heartless cunt he was so not ugly look in the mirror, maybe?? if u dont have something nice to say shut your hole
CLARIFICATION:
Not a masseuse - a masseur. He (the massage therapist) was a male escort. Yes, really. The official statements used gender-neutral language, hoping not stir things up. The media then assumed the massage therapist was female.
my comment is gone?
I just can't believe it… He was the age I am..
It's so sad! Heath, I'll miss you.
I tried writting this earlier, but I was brutally rebuffed due to long loads- I guess everyone was trying to write at the same time as me! I'm am DEEPLY sadden by this!!! Heath was one of my faves, and its really not fait when young people die! And he had little Matilda Rose, who looks just like him! So so sad! Rest in Peace, Heathcliff! I'm just starting 10 Things I hate About You and cry before I go to sleep
'
who on earth takes sleeping pills during the day, especially when expecting a masseuse? sounds like a suicide
Re: DumbAssCelebrities –
WHY DO YOU THINK THAT JUST BECAUSE A PERSON IS RICH OR FAMOUS, THAT THEIR RIGHTS AND SENSIBILITIES AS A HUMAN ARE REVOKED? SO IF A MEMBER OF YOUR FAMILY WAS RICH YOUD THINK OF THEM DIFFERENTLY TOO? IT'S SICKENING THAT EMPATHY AND SYMPATHY TOWARDS A PERSON DISSIPATES AS SOON AS THEY BECOME RICH! HE IS A HUMAN BEING, EXPOSED TO THE SAME STRESSES AND ILLNESSES AS EVERYONE ELSE IN THE WORLD, BUT POSSIBLY MORESO DUE TO ENVIRONMENT!
IM SORRY YOU CANT SEE BEYOND YOUR OWN EMOTIONAL BITTERNESS DUE TO LEADING A LESS-FULFILLING AND LESS-ENRICHED LIFE!
AND — how easy is it to just unknowingly combine the wrong two prescription/non-prescription drugs together by accident, not even in shockingly reckless amounts, and wind up with a tragedy? daniel smith died b/c of toxic drug INTERACTION, not overdose. it is a stunning and sad loss. Maybe we will all learn to ask when someone looks troubled how they are feeling and if we can do anything to help them, and take care of ourselves and our minds and bodies without relying on potentially dangerous ammount of drugs and booze–legal and/or otherwise.
jesus .. over here in europe we got the news before we went to bad and i so hoped, that it was either a dream or just a joke and that he would still be alive!
but i'm so sad, in complete shock, crying all morning and whatever you name it .. i can't even look at pics of him
it's so sad, that he died at the age of 28 (!!!!), alone in his bed .. it's so tragic!
for number 13: heath is not gay, he playd a gay guy for the movie, that was his character… and hes not ugly, hes actualy quite good looking….
R.I.P Heath Ledger
