Digging Up Dirt
Filed under: Australiastic > Heath Ledger
This explosive article in the Sunday Mail claims that Michelle Williams broke up with Heath Ledger because of his drug abuse.
A member of the actor's "inner circle" claims that Heath was using heroin and cocaine, in addition to pills, and that his drug problem spiraled out of control recently because he thought his ex, Michelle, was gonna request full custody of their daughter, Matilda.
The article also offers up a theory on what led to Ledger's death.
According to his pal, "He was not the type to have killed himself. The way I hear it, he went out the night before, he was doing cocaine, he wasn't able to sleep, and the investigators think he woke up, didn't remember taking sleeping pills and then took what accidentally was an overdose."
We don't know what to make of it all.
Thankfully, the toxicology results will be in within the next few weeks and that should bring some closure to all.

the mf was a junkie that's what junkie's do die so what.
OK, the above comment from "jojo" was not from me.
If Heath Ledger had done Heroin and Cocaine the night before he died, I wonder why it didn't come up in the initial toxicology tests.
Mario Lavendeiro (or however he spells his name) is full of shit. He's just a typical junior high girl stuck in the body of a pathetic, talentless wannabe. He's just fucking ridiculous. If you've noticed he prints crap like "Castro died" and all that and takes himself so seriously. He's like the snivelling neighborhood gossip who tries to make himself more important by spreading shitty, unsubstantiated rumors. C'mon. This is the same guy who just 6 or 7 weeks ago posted a picture of an innocent little girl who has experienced more tragedy than most of us in her first year of life (Dannielynn) and had the audacity to point out a physical defect (strabismus-cross eyes) and then write across the top of the picture "got methadone" WHAT A COMPLETE ASS!
Heath Ledger has/had more dignity and worth in this little fingertip than Mario has in his whole gigantic fat blubbery body!!!!
This is the same dumb coked out drug whore that sold her story a few days ago about how Heath and Naomi and SHE did drugs together. She admitted she was basically Naomi's drug connection and carried her drugs for her.
Please, Perez, no more. Take this story down. It serves no purpose other than giving this useless waste of space an oxygen some publicity, WHEN HER DRUGGED OUT ASS SHOULD BE IN JAIL
Perez, good job sticking to your word to NOT put up negative GOSSIP in RESPECT to his FAMILY. Heartless creature.
more junkie chronicles
Perez you are a dumb fuck who seems to delight in exploiting people. A little gossip now and then is fine, but leave this poor guy alone. Let him rest in peace. You have always only ever been a star fucker but this is really not nice. Didn't your mommy and daddy pay enough attention to you as a little boy Perez???
WOW….I WANT FRIENDS LIKE THAT………
Perez you are such a hypocrite. Just this past week you were crying about other media outlets theorizing the circumstances surrounding Heath Ledger's death. The fact that you continually post despite your bitching about other outlets reporting is pathetic.
enuf of this butthead! lets move on!
Am I the only one here who does go to Perez Hilton for gossip? Why is everyone screaming here for respect for Heath Ledger? I mean, it's like buying the National Enquirer. You know what you're going to get. I love the dirt.
I wish I knew how to quit you, Perez, you steaming pile of crap.
You have no heart Perez
Leave the dead alone, the living are still suffering
You claim to be above the rest
You're just a bottom feeder like the rest
Yes yes still trying to drown out your supposed 'caring stance' post you were claiming (we wont be posting pics of his funeral because we care) yeah right - nobody knows the details and this money grabbing HO just wants to make some money. PEOPLE WHO SELL THEIR STORIES OF FAMOUS PEOPLE THEY HAVE MET SHOULD BE SHOT What assholes!!!! If Michelle did leave him for his drug use then that is just sensible, in the article the woman claims 'michelle was so dowdy and so beneath him he was only with her cause she got pregnant' which to me seems like a load of shit - he always seemed really in love with her and she is gorgeous. Stop muck rakking and let his family grieve in peace and save your nasty shit digging for later
How about all the time they wasted when his body was still WARM. Anyone looking into that because I still smell a FISH. Murdering fucks.

Well kids if you like your drugs don't be surprised if it kicks your ass down the road. Health had a major drug and alcohol problem that was not pubicized but Hollywood insiders know the truth, So he's dead at age 28 and leaves his kid alone. Do drugs and alcohol and see what you can lose - your license, your friends, your family or maybe your life. Enjoy!
I left this comment for the article.
Shame on you for putting this in your newspaper. Is it so hard to believe that he was just a good guy trying to liva a normal life. The person you are quoting is the only one that has gone out in the media with this sort of info on Heath. So maybe, just maybe she is FULL OF IT.
But I guess truth should not come in the way of a good story.

How many stars do we have to loose. We have lost so many Hendrix, Joplin, Belushi, Phil Hartman(crazy coked out wife killed him) Farley, Renfro even Dana Plato.. All these were related to drug problems that were ignored in the name of money, (except Hartman) .
I find it astounding that you as humans continue to ignore this problem.Continue to say its tragic. I Why as long as you get to see a good movie. To see your favorite actor. As long as these people are making money or putting out movies no one cares that they are all fucked up. It is stupid that everyone ignores it. Really how many do we have to loose over stupidness.
So you guys call it tragic. I don't. I call it stupid. Stupid to spend you life locked in your mind. Putting more and more drugs into your body til you die one day. We all know Heath had al ot of good work left in him, so did Hendrix and Joplin.
HOW MANY MORE STARS DO WE HAVE TO LOOSE TO DRUGS? Before we wuit calling it tragic and start calling it stupid. is it really acceptable to you Amanda and Jade. It is acceptable to you that young Hollywood is killing them selves. Axel Rose a great songwriter and musican would rather shoot heroin then share his music with the world. Look at Brit she on the verge of being next.
YOUNG HOLLYWOOD IS DIEING.. Some of them are not even dead they are just locked up in their minds locked in the addiction never to really do anything again, except wait to die.
Why don't we just let Heath rest in peace and stop thinking about if he was a drug addict or not?
Brit is not dead lets concentrade on her
Don't you people have any conscience, the man is dead, to dig dirt on him is inhumane. Can't you leave him alone, let his soul rest in peace, money coming from this is not what you want in your pocket, karma not something you would want to deal with.
HEATH WALS LSICK HE HAD THE FLU FROM LONDON ENGLAND./.HE WAS NOT OUT THERE BUYING DRUGS./ IT IS SAD THAT HE WENT FROM BEING A GREAT ACTOR TO BEING A MAJOR DRUG ADDICT././
HE HAD NOT PROBLEM WITH HIS EX GIRLFRIEND AND DAUGHTER
Why don't we just let Heath rest in peace and stop thinking about if he was a druga addict or not.
Let's concentrade on britney she is not dead
who takes Ambien after they cant sleep from doing too much coke???? Take a Benadryl… jeeze
Re: ddd – you are the worse person I've ever come across in my lifetime, to say awful things like this against someone who's dead is the most evil thing to do. I hope when your karma comes you are ready because it will be ten folds of what you've done.
Perez is NOT trying to destroy his name, he's just staying what other people are saying.
But the people who are stating this, they should really stop and let the guy rest in peace. How do you think Matilda will react when she's older, having to hear people talk about the rumors that circulated after her father's death? How will Michelle be able to explain that.
I think it's cruel to dis the mother of his child as dowdy and not in his league. The poor girl and child have suffered enough. Perhaps he may have become unfit to help raise a 2 year old if he was out partying and drugging it up. It's a mother's first instinct to protect her child. It is too Bad that ORLANDO BLOOM did not introduce him to BUDDHISM when they worked together on Ned Kelly, or perhaps he tried. We as buddhists take responsibility for are own actions. We can not blame our environment or other people. We work to overcome our negative karma that draws us to the wrong people and the wrong environment. I believe if he practiced buddhism he would perhaps still be alive today. No one person or situation forced drugs down his throat, he unfortunately chose to take that wrong path due to his suffering. I will chant that he no longer suffers now and will attain enlightment in his next life. NAM MYOHO RENGE KYO.
Just because you did not show a couple of photos of his corpse being hauled out does not make you better Mario. I see you are back to muckraking. We all know why the kid died Mario, no scoop necessary. Eventually your belly will burst from overeating and I'm just guessing you are the fattiest junkie around. Adios muckraker!
Hablar de lo que querais, pero a los muertos dejarlos en paz y cuando salgan los resultados poned los resultados y olvidaros del tema, por favor. RIP Heath. Gracias por 10 Things I Hate About You; A knight's tale y Brokeback Mountain.
That Rebecca White is always touting some shit or another about celebs. Most of it happened years ago. She's stuck in the past as nobody wants to employ her anymore. She is the lowest of the low. Michelle Williams has more class and talent in her little finger than that celeb leech!
why do we speculate before we have the details. Why dont we just let this poor man have his privacy and more for his family. He has a very young daughter who one day will want to know what happened and it isnt fair that she should read all this shit. If he was into drugs who are we to cast the 1st stone it was his business so stop all the bull shit and let him RIP and give some respect to his poor family.
99 percent of the comments here prove that people don't want to hear this crap and we want to wait for the tox reports. So, if you are posting this crap under the pretense that it's what the public wants to know, then it's obvious it's just your own salicious need to tarnish the name of a good man. To the 99 percent: BOYCOTT all these sites spreading rumors. For the record, Naomi Campbell issued a statement that she didn't even know Heath until AFTER this assistant had been FIRED so anything this wman says is BS
In an earlier post you said you agreed w/ everything Star Jones had to say in her article on Heath Ledger, YET you post something like this from a completely non-credible source. WHY Perez?? Why not take the hide road on this one & hold off on posting things that are nothing but speculation??!! Ignorant people walk away thinking these rumors are fact. If this were my child, my heart would be so incredibly broken words can not even express the pain. Not only did they just find out they lost their son, but the rumors have torn him to shreds. There's nothing right about that!! For once Perez, show you have a conscience!!!
I blame Michelle Williams! Reports are now surfacing that Heath was worried because he was anticipating that Michelle was going to seek sole custody of their daughter. And where was his daughter has he lay dead? In Sweeden with Michelle on a long movie shoot. Since custody was not handled yet by the courts I would not think that dear Michelle had any right taking her daughter out of the country. Recovering from drugs or not, Heath had a right to have access to his daughter!!!! Michell Williams was obviously playing "the ex" role perfectly by using her daughter as a pawn. Seems as though he died of a broken heart!
Michell Williams is a no talent hack, her acting abilities are equal to that of a junior high drama student, daughter of a big time IRS tax evader, and just all around nothing! I feel sorry for poor Matilda to have to grow up with such a bitter and heartless mother.
THIS WOMAN IS NOT A "INNER CIRCLE" SHE IS SOMEONE THAT WAS AN ASSISTANT TO NAOMI CAMPBELL TRYING TO MAKE SOME MONEY FROM SOMEONE'S DEATH. SHE DID NOT EVEN KNOW THIS PERSON. I HAVE READ THIS ARTICLE & SHE STATED THAT MICHELLE WILLIAMS WAS SO OUT OF HER LEAGUE WITH HEATH & HE ONLY STAYED BECAUSE SHE WAS PREGNANT. SHE SAIS HE WAS ONLY TRYING TO DO THE RIGHT THING - HOW WOULD SHE KNOW THIS? I THINK IT IS HORRIBLE FOR ANYONE TO WRITE OR PUBLISH ANY OF THIS CRAP. HE DOES HAVE A CHILD THAT WILL BE ABLE TO SEE THIS GARBAGE 1 DAY & HAVE SOME RESPECT FOR HIS FAMILY & MICHELLE. SHE WAS HIS LOVE & SHE IS THE MOTHER OF HIS CHILD. IF SHE ONLY WANTED HIM FOR THAT THEN SHE WOULD HAVE STAYED WITH HIM - SUPPOSED DRUG PROBLEM & ALL. GROW UP & RESPECT THIS MAN. IT IS JUST SO SAD THAT PEOPLE REALLY CANNOT FIND SOMETHING BAD ON THIS MAN THAT YOU HAVE PEOPLE LIKE THIS ASSISTANT TO MAKE THEM UP!! WHATEVER PROBLEMS HE HAD ARE HIS & NOT OURS. HE IS GONE & CANNOT DEFEND HIMSELF. IT IS JUST DEPLORABLE THAT THERE ARE PEOPLE LIKE THIS.
Just curios, why does it take weeks to get a toxicology report for these fucking celebrities??? I could have those test results in two hours or less.
OKAY…WHY DO WE CARE THAT THIS DRUGGIE IS DEAD CAUSE OF HIS DRUGS? LESSON LEARNED, DONT DO HEROIN, CRACK, COCAINE….ANYTHING FROM A COCA LEAF FOR THAT MATTER! ARE WE SHOCKED THAT HEATH ENDED UP DEAD…..AND THOSE TWINS THAT HE FOOLED AROUND WITH LOOK LIKE HEROIN JUNKIES THEMSELVES…..ALL THESE KIDS DO HARD DRUGS, DONT CRY WHEN THEY END UP DEAD!

this is the first comment that i have submitted to a "celebrity website." i believe that it is a tad ridiculous how stupid people are. Alexandra #1–"new" is an adjective; "knew" is a past tense verb. before you start purporting that "you knew" heath ledger maybe you should learn the english language first. i CAN state heath ledger was a talented actor and, most likely, was more intelligent than you will ever be. dumb ass.
Dear Perez Hilton:
You are a fat man who is only famous due to your extraordinarily bad fashion sens e. You hide behind a horrible pink dye job to mask your low selfesteem. You mock people with true talent because you understand that you could never achieve what they have. Those who you have criticized will live on after death, but your name will be long forgotten in ten years while you live in culver city and eat spam on the toilet. Though I am comment 352, I know that you read each comment–you evil man.
Best,
Rebecca
Best,
Rebecca

What you people need to know is that the Daily Mail is the dirtiest, trashiest, least fact based 'news'paper in the UK and their single agenda is to judge judge JUDGE. They assert their opinion and ask questions later (and btw 9/10 their 'sources' are their own journalists). Do not believe a word of this, have some respect for Heath and his loved ones at this, the hardest time of their lives and just wait for all the FACTS to be disclosed with the tox results. The Daily Mail are scum. They should be ashamed for peddling innuendo and rumour just to chase a few extra circulation 000's - twats!
BUT DON'T FORGET TO GET HIM LIQUORED UP FIRST. STICK WITH YOUR CHEAP HOWARD U. ALE.
AS FOR MY TYPO ON ILLITERATE - MUST HAVE HAD ONE TOO MANY TITO'S HANDMADE VODKA GIMLETS LAST NITE.
THAT WOULD BE AN EXPENSIVE VODKA THAT YOU ILLITERATE BISON DICK SUCKING WHORES WOULD NEVER GET YOUR HANDS ON.
AND ONCE AGAIN, STFU ON YOUR SPECULATION ABOUT HEATH LEDGER'S PRIVATE LIFE YOU BISON DICK SUCKING ILLITERATE WHORE.
Re: King of Mean – HEARTLESS PIECE OF SHIT , your name should be

and I do wish that people like you DIE first , so that this world will be a better place
Re: GOOD RIDDANCE – DOUCHE BAG
I wish people will just leave Heath Ledger alone and let him rest in peace
I don't think it's Perez fault either, he is just reporting this and honestly this is his web site he can very well post anything he wants
sound familiar
Jack Clemmons was a Los Angeles Police Sergeant who is famous because he was the first Police officer to officially arrive at the death scene of Marilyn Monroe on August 5, 1962, at 4:45 AM. He received a call at 4:25 telling him Marilyn Monroe was dead. Clemmons thought that Marilyn Monroe was murdered and that her place was a staged death scene. He made some major accusations that the LAPD were involved in a cover up
He had stated that when he entered Marilyn Monroe house, the maid was washing the laundry (at 4:45 am) and that Monroe's room appeared as though it had been cleaned prior to his arrival. In Clemmons's own words: "Marilyn was lying face down in what I call the soldier's position," said Clemmons. "Her hands were by her side and her legs were stretched out perfectly straight. It was the most obviously staged death scene I have ever seen. The pill bottles on her bedside table had been arranged in neat order and the body deliberately positioned. It all looked too tidy.
It's the Mail - this paper is little more than a tabloid here, it is not believable.
The Mail is a nasty little rag of a paper, here in the U.K. Its editorial stance is to blame women for everything, whether it's rising house prices or global warming. It's pretty vile, no?
This was his FRIEND saying this? Some friend…
I don't buy it, BS.
His friend said this? Some friend…
I don't buy it. BS!
Your one pathetic piece'o' shit aren't ya?
Who gives a fuck? Ya fuck'n tard!

Re: becca – this is Perez web site and there is not a damn thing you can do about it but BITCH and MOAN , although you can stop coming here and posting NONE SENSE CRAP , just mind your own PATHETIC EXISTENCE ,DOUCHE BAG !!!

really who gives a shit at this point!
2 late 4 any1 2 do anything abt it…
Perez,
Enjoy your time on Earth cuz when you die, we're going to trample on your grave. I hope you enjoy Hell.
I see. Apparently we haven't destroyed this family enough by tearing down their dead loved one, we're now going to tear down Michelle, the mother of his child? What have these people ever done to you other than mind their own business and lead a very private life. In defense of Heath and Michelle, I am going to repost quotes found on Austailia"s Daily Telegraph website:
"Friends and co-stars reflected last week on the powerful bond that the pair had shared.
Screenwriter Luke Davies, whose film Candy was the first shoot Ledger took part in after Brokeback Mountain, wrote of their obvious bond during a night in Sydney.
"He seemed, at times, quite literally beside himself with love for her, unable to contain his excitement,” Davies wrote last week.
"I remember one night during pre-production, in an almost empty nightclub in Kings Cross, watching him sweep her to her feet and swirl her around an empty dance floor, much to the relief of a bored DJ.
"It was a completely private moment - he wasn't doing it for the benefit of others, those of us settling into our seats or buying a round.
"He wanted to dance with Williams. He seemed to carry that same I-can't-believe-it-can-feel-like-this grin from 10 Things I Hate About You.
"I had the odd sensation, watching them, that their experience at just that moment was a little more intense than mine. I almost felt the need to avert my eyes - that pure joy again.”
This article is shit, a true "friend" wouldn't spread such trash!!!
YA YA HES DEAD,BLAH,BLAH ,BLAH.HE HAD EVERYTHING GOING FOR HIM AND HE FUCKED HIMSELF.BOOHOO.I AM SO SAD.PASS THE TISSUES.FAG.
"gonna" ????
Try to articulate correctly and then I might believe a word you say….
You do not make anything at all form stories in Mail if you live in UK.They are sued at least 3 times as month for printing 100% pure invented lies and then have ot fork out huge bucks and apologies.Disgusting rag and the never interview anyone..all crap
Hmmmmm Mary Kate sent her rent a cops over to clean up before the cops got there. Read New york post article Jan.28th Cindy Adams she said the same thing.
Why is so hard for people to accept that he was a drug addict ? What's the problem with that ? Just because he was cute ?
It doesn't even matter now . He's dead anyway .
Screw this whole story about him already! Geezus…we freakin KNOW the dude died!!!!…They need to quit reporting it already on every channel! Yawn!!!
People should have way more respect for dead soldiers instead of someone who O.D. 's. His lifes over end of story..lets move on now…
Cracks me up how people come to this site which all about gossip, trash talk, rumors, etc and get pissed when they read it! Why dont you stop visiting perez'z site then? Your blood pressure would go back to normal! This place is a fun place to come to let off steam, make fun of hollyweird,and have a laugh at what people say about them! I love it!! Why do you take it so seriously??? If ya dont like it here and your "offended" about some so-called STAR that was dissed…move on…….its a great big ol' internet!!!!! Rock on Perez!! Keep the trash talk coming!!!!!!
HEATH LEDGER WAS DATING GEMMA WARD……..SHE IS HIS ´WIDOW´ NOT MISERABLE MANIPULATIVE MICHELLE WILLIAMS WHO TOOK THE SUN OUT OF HIS LIFE.
Re: LookAtYou – uh, yeah they do.
15 year olds do . 30 year olds do. 22 year olds do.
I'm not saying drugs weren't involved here but you are really talking shit.
People can die suddenly at ANY age, and sometimes they never find the answer.
Re: Me again – Who the hell is Keith.
Re: Jane – you need to be married to them to be their widow you fucking retard!
Why should anyone care that much if he was on drugs or not? Most of Hollywood is but the sad thing is (if he was on drugs) why someone like him had to die and worthless people like Kate Moss are still alive even though she's been on it since she was like 15 and we all know she's on it.
RIP Heath!
a few years ago I almost overdosed on cocaine,beer,tylenol pm and klonepin and as stupid as that was too take all that( I had major post partum depression) still it was totally accidental as I didn't take enough of any one thing to kill me it was the combination but I was rushed via ambulance to hospital and horrible stomach pumped which served me right! I was lucky to have people there with me when it happened and was in out of consciousness and memory loss so it could have totally been accident and i bet that's what happened anna nicole too
On the News in Australia today they are saying that it looks like he could of died of naturel causes most likely a heart attack!!! That will show you all whos said that he was a druggie!!!! RIP
Re: King of Mean – Stop being a Fucking dick and listioning to what mags and a dumb web site telling you what to think u have a brain ( I hope) maybe you should start to use it!!!! JUST THINK ABOUT IT….if it doesn't hurt to much
And Wait till the aurtopsy report comes out before you drag and innocent and talented mans name through the mud!!! HEATH R.I.P i will miss you!!!
OMG HE IS SOOO HOTT BUT I STILL DONT HTINK THAT HE KILLED HISSELF I THINK THAT SOMEONE STAGED THE WHOLE THING HE HAD TO MUCH GOING FOR HIM TO THAT!! ESPECIALLY HIS DAUGHTER
Every one needs to just leave it alone it already sucks enough as it is.
Rip heath
Seems to me that a wife in the same situation as Michelle would have issued an ultimatum to Heath: get to rehab or we're done and I'm taking the kid. Heath seemed like the type who would have gone to rehab if given that choice. That's assuming that what the woman in the Daily Mail piece said was true. However, I also happen to think that Heath and Michelle WERE a poor match, and probably wouldn't have lasted anyway. Let's see what the final report has to say.
The fishy part of the story is the housekeeper saying that at 1 o'clock she was in the bedroom and heard him snoring, then at 3 o'clock the masseuse couldn't revive him and he was cold to the touch. Cold to the touch?? In just 2 hours?? Something doesn't add up.
