She's getting so big!

Matilda Ledger and mom Michelle Williams were seen visiting a New York park this past weekend and judging from the smiles on both of their faces a good time was had by all!

Every time we see her, the tot looks more and more like Heath Ledger!

And we're glad Michelle dresses her child appropriately for the fall weather on the East coast unlike Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise!

Sort of.

The New York Times ran an article about actress Sienna Miller dubbing her "Serial Miller" in reference to her many, MANY high-profile romances including Jude Law, Rhys Ifans and Balthazar Getty.

But they named two others that Sienna denies having more than a friendship with and they corrected the "mistake":

"An article…about Sienna Miller misstates the nature of the relationships that she had with Heath Ledger and Sean Combs. She was friends with both of them; she did not have romantic flings with either of them."

Sluttyiena is in New York starring alongside Jonny Lee Miller in After Miss Julie. She says of being in the show:

"I underestimated that a play like this requires incredible concentration, which is something that doesn’t come naturally to me. And I’m struggling with stamina and endurance. I’m not fit enough, and I’ve had to join a gym. I wake up every morning sounding like Marge Simpson and looking like something out of Gremlins."

WOOF, sounds awful! Miller also commented on her highly-documented missteps in the media:

"I’m more frivolous. I haven’t been as bright in some of the decisions I’ve made. Keira [Knightley] is just a more evolved person. I feel we live in the kind of culture now where you have to be very smart to navigate the right way, and I just don’t have those smarts. I think with age and time it will change, but I can’t obsess about it."

At least she admits to making stupid choices such as dating married people for example!

With all the press Lindsay Lohan has gotten in the past week, it was only a matter of time before Michael Lohan opened his mouth about his daughter.

Taking time out from speaking on his BFF Jon Gosselin, the media whore father says he's worried about Lilo's downward spiral.

But, Poppa Lohan has a plan!

He says: "I'm going to get her off the prescription drugs that she's on. I hate it when people talk about illegal drug abuse…because it's not just drinking and illegal drugs that kill you. Prescription drugs can destroy and kill a person and are sometimes harder to stop. Look at Heath Ledger and Michael Jackson."

Thanks for teaching us Drugs 101, but comparing Lindsay to Heath Ledger and Michael Jackson is like comparing apples and oranges. They actually had very successful careers.

Michael also explains why she's not acting. You know why Lindsay's not acting in feature films right now? Because she can't."

Tell us something we don't know!

He goes on to say "The girl with all the talent is hidden and buried deep inside this fungus that's grown because of the prescription drugs. She can't be herself. When you hug her she's like, vacant inside. When she kisses or holds me I get chills, and not in a good way-in a bad way."

Umm a fungus inside her??? We don't think that's from prescription drugs.

Michael rambles on for a while, but never actually says what he's going to do. However, he does manage to blame this somewhat on himself and, of course, Dina because - according to him - "Everything was fine in our family until Dina and I got divorced."

Poppa Lohan better get to the girl soon since that whole fashion thing didn't work out. It's only a matter of time before she takes a cue from her little sister Ali.

Check out the official U.K. promo poster for the movie The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus.

It was the last film Heath Ledger was a part of before he died.

He looks rather dashing in this shot!

It also doesn't hurt that he is surrounded by Colin Farrell, Jude Law, and Johnny Depp, the actors that stepped in for him after his tragic passing.

Very nice!

Indie power couple Michelle Williams and director Spike Jonze have parted ways!

The actress confirmed the news in the October issue of Vogue, stating, "The timing was impossible. I thought falling in love again was the only thing that was going to save me from the pain. This erroneous idea: It just makes things more complicated."

Michelle is referring to the death of her ex and father of her child, Heath Ledger.

Jonze was the first person she dated after Heath's unexpected passing. The grief coupled with the responsibilities of being a single mother played a part in the breakup.

"I obviously don't know how to do it," divuged Williams, who began her relationship with the director in July of last year.

"I was holding it together by a string and a paper clip in the fall and winter," she said of her ever-present grieving process. "I didn't know if I could keep it all together … You console yourself by saying it's all a deepening process. But it's weird. After the first year, the pain is less intense — it's less immediate. But the magical thinking goes away too. And that's a whole new reckoning."

Stay strong, bb!

Following the death of Heath Ledger, Tom Cruise put his hat in the ring for a part in The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus to help complete Ledger's last film role.

But director Terry Gilliam wouldn't have it because Cruise never knew the late Ledger personally.

Gilliam says of Cruise's offer:

"I'm not sure if it was Tom or his agent. I know there was a period when Tom's agents were keen. The thing is, I was only interested in people who were friends of Heath. Simple as that. I wanted to keep it in the family."

As we know, Johnny Depp, Jude Law and Colin Farrell ended up taking over as different versions of Ledger's character for the film.

Great choices, Terry.

Best to leave Tom and his buddy Xenu out of it!

Take a peek at the last film ever to have Heath Ledger perform in (above).

The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus also stars Jude Law, Johnny Depp, & Colin Farrell, who all stepped in for Heath after his death.

It looks visually breathtaking, but mentally exhausting.

What do U think?

Heath Ledger had started to direct this Modest Mouse music video for their song King Rat, but passed away before completion of the vid.

Ledger was friends with the band. 

The video was finished by his friends at The Masses, the creative company where Ledger was a partner. 

A year and a half after his passing, the video has finally been released. 

Check it out above!!
