New information is coming out about Heath Ledgers previous issues with drugs and alcohol. One of those pesky sources is saying that Heath's Ex, Michelle Williams, tried taking Heath to rehab back in 2006 but he didn't go and vowed to clean up his act.

For three years, Williams was a firsthand witness to the gifted actor's use of alcohol and drugs, including cocaine, heroin and "a variety of pills," says a Ledger confidant. In March 2006 â€" just weeks after the couple walked the Oscars red carpet and when daughter Matilda was only five months old â€" Williams drove Ledger to Promises Treatment Center in Malibu, California, the confidant tells Us Weekly. Ledger refused to check in, instead swaying her with a pledge to clean up. Even after the couple realized "they were in way over their heads," according to a source, and split in September 2007, two sources tell Us that Williams demanded Ledger be drug-tested before his visitations with Matilda.When news of Ledger's death broke last Tuesday, Williams was inconsolable. "She cried and screamed as soon as she heard," a source on the Swedish set of her latest film, Mammoth, tells Us.

It just goes to show that Michelle was doing whatever she could to try and save their relationship for the good of their daughter Matilda.

After a humbling visit to Africa, David Beckham returns to a more playful pastime Tuesday, enjoying a little soccer on the beach at Cabo Sao Roque, a new luxury resort in Brazil.

He needs to lose the shorts and let me play with his ball... Or at least pinch his nipples. ;)

Actress Sean Young voluntarily admitted herself to rehab after having a few too many drinks and making a fool out of herself at the Directors Guild of America Awards in L.A. over the weekend.

The move comes after Young, 48 â€" star of 80s films such as Stripes and Blade Runner â€" got boozed up at Saturday's Directors Guild of America Awards in L.A., heckling Julian Schnabel, acclaimed director of The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, during his acceptance speech, according to Variety. "Get on with it" she screamed at Schnabel. "Have another drink, honey," he replied. As he started to leave the stage, the crowd urged him to stay. Young was later ejected from the ceremony.

Are ya kidding me? She had to make a spectacle of herself to be noticed. Who has seen Sean Young do anything worth while lately? She was just at the wrong place at the wrong time. Who doesn't want to liven up the party when they've had a few drinks? Then again since I'm also a bartender, I see those types of drunk chicks and get used to 'em. At least Sean didn't whip out her tits! It's always the ones you don't want to see that always get flopped out. I guess it's a good thing I'll never be famous cause I would make a complete ass out of myself at award shows and try to start up a game of Fart Football at my table. :)

Eminem's buddy Trick Trick is acting like a high school girl when talking about Em's weight gain. Trick's trying to be the good friend who's really not being a good friend making a comment on Eminem's weight.

"Em just picked up some weight, that's it. He's nowhere (near) 250 pounds or anything like that. He picked up a little weight. He ain't walkin' around obese or some s--- though. He can still run two miles if you want him to and still out-box the majority of them. My man still gets down."

So basically he's fat but he can still run and box. Trick dude, it's not like Em just put on 5 pounds and we're being ridiculous to wonder WTF happened to him? He's got some thickness going on!

Tito Ortiz got the best birthday gift of his life when an anorexic looking washed up porn star jumped out of his birthday cake. Jenna 'Joan Rivers' Jameson looks like she's about to fall over just from breathing... Or possibly because her lips weigh more than the rest of her body. Someone shove some food down Jenna Jameson's throat!

Jessica Simpson and Tony Romo went out for some grub with a couple of Tony's football buddies and Cacee Corn Cobbs Up The Butt, before heading out to see the 80's band Metalskool Monday night.

An eyewitness at the restaurant said Tony was "sitting next to her looks like the absolute last place he wants to be," and I think that's totally obvious by this photo. His facial expression is saying 'Can we drop this stupid bitch off at the next corner, please!'

As Amy Winehouse sits in rehab puking her brains out from detox and watching Marilyn Monroe movies, her mother Janis Winehouse is talking about the realization of Amy kicking the bucket soon, after seeing Wino smoking crack on video.

"I've known for a long time that my daughter has problems," she says, numbly. "But seeing it on screen rammed it home. I realise my daughter could be dead within the year. We're watching her kill herself, slowly. I've already come to terms with her dead. I've steeled myself to ask her what ground she wants to be buried in, which cemetery. Because the drugs will get her if she stays on this road. She's invited me to the Grammy awards next month, but part of me thinks she won't be alive by then. I look at Heath Ledger and Britney. She's on their path. It's like watching a car crash - this person throwing all these gifts away."

Where in the hell does she get the Heath Ledger / Britney Spears comparisons? We don't even know yet how exactly Heath died, and Britney's a mental case! I can see comparing her to Jeff Conway who's all fuckered up on VH1's Celebrity Rehab, but not to Britney's bipolar disorder. If you haven't seen Celeb. Rehab, ya gotta check it out cause it's some crazy shit! Next time Janis shouldn't try the name dropping idea cause it totally back fired.

Gwen Stefani has confirmed she is 13 weeks pregnant with bambino number two.The former No Doubt star and rocker husband Gavin Rossdale are chuffed about having a brother or sister for their lad Kingston, one. A source said: "They found out at California's Cedars-Sinai hospital and couldn't wait to share the news with everyone."

Congratulations on baby #2 Gwen and Gavin!

Hannah Montana star Miley Cyrus �" who was born Destiny Hope Cyrus �" has officially changed her name to Miley Ray Cyrus. Miley was a childhood nickname she was given. She adopted Ray as her middle name in honor of her father, country crooner Billy Ray Cyrus.

I assume they changed her name from 'Destiny Hope' to 'Miley Ray' because it's a little hard to have hope when your destiny is to be a Hollywood whore.
