I honestly do not give a flying **** about Heath. But I hope it doesn't **** up the opening of the new Batman movie. It looks bad ***.

You know, you could do the respectful thing and just Google the name, or head over to imdb.com and look.

Heath will be seen this summer in the new Batman movie, The Dark Knight. He plays the part of the Joker. Sadly, he'll probably be infamous for the role (love it or hate it), yet won't be around to reprise it. I've seen footage from the movie, and I'm looking forward to it.

This was a shocker. From what I've read so far, they're not sure if this was a suicide or an accidental overdose of sleeping pills. That he was naked in bed isn't really a big deal; I'm sure you've all slept naked in bed at some point in life. Why is everyone so quick to fire off nasty judgemental remarks?

Ledger was hardly a spoiled brat. He eschewed the partying, drunken, drug fueled Hollywood scene to remain in NY, living in a tight neighborhood, content being the friendly celebrity neighbor. He largely took roles that would challenge him, not roles that would bring him fame, fortune, and notoriety. He stayed out of the limelight, and stayed close to his family (Michelle Williams and their daughter, Matilda). Even when he and Michelle broke up, he opted to stay in NY and close to his daughter.

While I'll certainly agree that society has far too much of an interest in the lives of celebrities, I also think it's sad that people feel the need to hurl vitriolic remarks out there about people they didn't even know, based on no solid information whatsoever.

I'm trying to keep this thread on topic and respectful, and maintain a level of decency. This is, afterall, the death of someone's father, son, friend, and loved one. Posts like yours don't help.

This is the final warning for this thread. If you guys want to start a separate thread on how you feel young actors/actresses are spoiled brats who do whatever they want, then go do so. Let's at least show some semblance of courtesy and keep this one free of such remarks, shall we?

Did you get sand in your 'gina today? Did you read what I wrote? Dark Knight isn't a fully done movie yet, so if a star (for whatever reason) becomes unavailable, then it can tank the whole production.

I still don't give a **** about the guy. He's a douchebag for taking all those pills, if his death was intentional or not.

I feel sad that a young life (he was 28) is snuff. You can not jump into conclusion. People said he does not party nor do drugs and have a daughter. His parents says it must be an accident. He was suffering with pneumonia on the day he died. He just went to bed and never woke up. His parents said it is an accident. The autopsy may reveal what he died of.

I know of some young people in the prime of health who die of heart attack. Their heart and body are very healthy but they suffer some arterial spasm, cause unknown, that causes severe heart attack and death.

We first saw him in the movie Knights Tale and my wife like him a lot. I think he is from Australia. Very promising. Very sad.

Do you think he would care if one of us died accidently in our bad? No! While I agree he cant be compared to most other young "celebrities". He seemed to have been one of the more normal ones, and its sad that it happened so young, but if someone told him so an so from Miataturbo.net died he would think about it for maybe a second. Why would i care that he died? He did nothing for me or my family but provide some movie entertainment.

This is one death (which I find to my surprise) that I am somewhat shocked and saddend at. Had it been Britney, Paris, or some other vacant life form, I don't think I would have cared much more than one bit. And I have to admit that when I caught A Knights Tale on a movie network, I didn't think Ledger had much to offer the acting world. I wasn't impressed with anything else I saw him in until his small role in Monsters Ball. I was really surprised that he would take the role of such a troubled person based on the admittedly limited roles I've seen him portray in the past.

I know a lot of people had a problem with the subject matter and continue to be unable to wrap their brains around Brokeback Mountain, but his performance in that movie shocked me to no end. I would never have predicted that he could pull off a role like that. I thought I witnessed the best performance of the year, maybe in many years, when I left the theater that day. I wonder how many actors would have turned down that role, due to their professional and possibly personal insecurities?
Anyway, I applauded his ability after that, and his ability to lead a relatively low-key life, i.e., he didn't seem to need the spotlight to be shown on him and he didn't need to go jumping on Oprah's couch like a much lesser talent has done.

If it was drugs that did him in, then I wish he would have been wiser. If it was natural causes, I hope he enjoyed his life.

The only sad part about this is that after a few days it will be old news. When that POS Anna Nicole died we heard about it for months and months.
