Heath Ledger

During his tragically short life, Heath Ledger had "special relationships" with many Hollywood actresses. Unfortunately, some of them were drug-crazed drama queens like Lindsay Lohan, so they used his shocking death as an excuse for self-serving pity parties.

Star magazine claims to have excerpts from Lindsay's diary, in which she refers to the late actor as "the love of [her] life." “Today Heath died," reads one entry. “I’m in love with him…He taught me so much, and he was everything I’ve ever wanted and more."

Sad stuff, to be sure, but it seems unlikely that Heath felt the same way (especially considering he was said to be shacking up with Mary-Kate Olsen at the time of his death). Naturally, many are questioning the authenticity of Lindsay's "diary" and she'll probably release a statement disavowing it. If it proves to be legitimate, it'll come as no surprise to anyone that Linds has a flare for the dramatic. It may surprise a few people that she knows how to read and write.

I thought that after the interview Michelle Williams did with Nightline, which she said was 'devastating,' would shy her away from talking about Heath Ledger again. Apparently I was wrong. Michelle opened up about life without Heath in the new issue of Marie Claire. She says that the loss of him has left she and daughter Matilda with a "hole in our life." Marie Claire must have nabbed this before the Nightline interview aired! Kidding.

"Very obviously, for me and for her, there's a hole in our life. Of course the natural inclination is to want to fill it and make it disappear, but what I've come to recently is that it's impossible. Nothing will fit in that hole because what we want back we can't get, which is this one person. I'm not going to rush anything and scamper around like a mad person and make myself crazy. I'm trying to be respectful of the absence. I'm not trying to fill it up. It is what it is."

Michelle hasn't sworn off men, but she's not really sure what she's looking for and if she's the marrying kind.

"The idea that you can get everything you want in one person is destructive, and maybe when you accept that the number is closer to 50 or 60 or 70 percent, that's when you can start to make some progress in choosing the right person. I don't want to make a mistake that big, and that saddens me, because it's harder to let yourself go. I can inflict any kind of injury on myself, but with my daughter, that's not an option."

If anyone deserves a good man, it's Michelle. Just listening to her talk about the loss of Heath and moving on with life breaks my heart. She'll find love again, but she has to open herself up to it.

Alright, that's enough sappy crap out of me.

Michelle Williams is a pretty private person, so the people at 'Nightline' have to be patting each other on the back for getting her to open up so much about her life and the death of Heath Ledger. They can follow that pat on the back with a slap in the face from Michelle because she's ticked with the amount of editing they did to sell the story.

In the clip, Nightline host Cynthia McFadden asks Michelle about how she dealt with Heath Ledger's untimely death back in 2008.

"In a strange way, I miss that year, because all those possibilities that existed are gone," Williams tells McFadden in the interview. "It didn't seem unlikely to me that he could walk through a door or he could appear from behind a bush. It was a year of magical thinking."

"And in a way, I'm sad to be moving further and further away from that."

Regarding the interview, Michelle says, "They used those quotes and the way they edited the piece to sell the interview, and it appeared as if I were breaking some kind of silence and sitting down with the express purpose to discuss something that is very private to me. It all becomes rather tricky because I don't want to say something without resonance but then I don't want to go too far. Just recently I felt as if I did cross a line about all this."

Great job Nightline, Michelle will probably never speak publicly about his death again after your f-up. She has every right to be upset if she's going to finally speak about certain things in her life and they crap on it for their own ratings.

Michelle Williams is in the newest issue of Vogue speaking out for the first time on life without Heath.

Michelle on getting through the past year after Heath Ledger passed away:

Often, what she did was "cry, nap, sit and stare, try to figure out what to make her for dinner, talk to friends on the phone." She says, "I was holding it together by a string and a paper clip in the fall and winter. I didn't know if I could keep it all together."

Falling in love again after Heath:

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."

Explaining to Matilda why they get so much attention:

"It's because people really loved your daddy that they want to take your picture, to know you're all right" is what she tells Matilda. "My reaction to it is going to be her reaction to it."

I dig Michelle because she isn't a drunk, whore, or drug addict like most Hollywood actors. She's truly grounded and tries to keep Matilda's life as normal as possible too. What is there not to like about Michelle Williams?

Here's the trailer for The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, the film Heath Ledger was shooting prior to his untimely passing. Heath Ledger had completed about half of his work of playing Tony. His role was recast with Johnny Depp, Jude Law and Colin Farrell, all of whom portray the transformations of Tony as he travels through a dream world.

Imaginarium will be released on October 16 in the UK and December 25 in the States. It looks great, and if Ledger fans will go to the theatres in droves like they did for Dark Knight, this could be a big hit.

This is one adorable, happy little girl. Michelle Williams is doing a great job! Matilda's making her daddy proud.

I like a man who isn't afraid to stand up for what he believes in. Patsy was at a No on H8 show. Score. And he defended Heath Ledger. Score again. This is like reason #547 why me and Patsy were made for each other.

According to a witness at the No on H8 show at The ­Improv in Hollywood on Dec. 16, Twilight star Robert Pattinson, 22, booed a comic who said, "Here's my impression of Heath Ledger," then collapsed and began faking convulsions.

"Robert and his friend went nuts yelling at him," the source tells Us Weekly. "[Pattinson screamed] f--k you! You suck!"

But the actor -- who recently cut his famous hair -- went unrecognized by the performing comic. "The comic didn't know who it was, but I'm sure he found out later!"

The top grosser of the year is about to become the top homevideo seller of the year. During its first week of release, "The Dark Knight" sold more than13.5 million discs across all retail channels worldwide, and set impressive standards for the next-gen Blu-ray format.

According to Warners, "The Dark Knight" sold more than 1.7 million Blu-ray discs worldwide its first week. Although comparisons are tricky given the elusiveness of worldwide sales data, "The Dark Knight" is now considered the undisputed Blu-ray champ, given the strong bow.

The studio also projects that "The Dark Knight" will become the bestselling 2008 title overall this week. Consumers have bought more than 10 million copies of the pic, with the remainder of purchases by rental outlets.

Heath's legacy is alive and thriving.

A life insurance company is balking at making a $10 million payout to Heath Ledger's nearly 3-year-old daughter Matilda, lawyers for the child claim.

ReliaStar Life Insurance Co. first wants to investigate whether Ledger died by suicide, which would allow the insurer not to pay.

According to the coroner, the actor died at age 28 from an accidental overdose.

"There's no evidence out there we know of to remotely suggest the death was a suicide. We think it's more of stalling tactic than anything else." says lawyer William Shernoff.

Ledger, who had taken out the policy in June 2007, willed his estate to his parents and sisters, but family members decided that Matilda â€" Ledger's daughter with Michelle Williams â€" would get all the money.

How slimy are these insurance companies? I can't believe they want to know for sure that Heath didn't commit suicide so that if he did, they don't have to pay Matilda. Completely ridiculous!!!! There should be no such rule to begin with.

R.I.P. Heath

For some reason I have a difficult time believing this.

Heath Ledger's 2-year-old daughter Matilda Rose will inherit the late actor's entire $16.6 million estate, according to Perth, Australia's Sunday Times.

The Dark Knight star -- who died last January of a prescription drug overdose at the age of 28 -- had named his parents and sisters as the beneficiaries in his will.

But the will was made before the birth of his daughter. Some reports speculated that Ledger's ex Michelle Williams would lodge a claim.

But Ledger's father Kim tells Perth's Sunday Times, "There is no claim. Our family has gifted everything to Matilda."

In March, Kim issued a statement: "Matilda is an absolute priority and Michelle is an integral part of our family. They will be taken care of and that's how Heath would want it to be."

If Matilda truly is getting all of Heath's money, did his fam have to tell the media about it? Does "gifted" mean "is getting $16 million"? We'll see. As long as Heath's family is taken care of, I guess that's all that matters, not sure Matilda needs all his fortune, though. Lucky kid. :)
