    Default News of the Day

    Heath Ledger has been found dead
    http://www.news.com.au/couriermail/s...64-952,00.html

    I'm hearing drug overdose. Another life wasted.

    Apparently he is really good in the upcoming Batman movie, Dark Knight. And I know jarro was a fan of his work in Brokeback Mountain.

    Yeah, pretty stupid stuff. I think he split up with the missus though. He always seemed like a bit of a party boy.

    Yeah have heard he had real issues with the Aussie media, part of teh reason for him choosing to live in the states. Pretty sad state of affairs that you have to top yourself if that is the cause of his death.

    These types of celebs need a reality check; get a real job for a couple of months of the year, make crap money, put up with $h!t from managers and clients, get up early, get home late, learn how great they really have it.

    At the end of the day if you don't like the media and exposure GET out and get a new gig.

    Well said Chappy.

    But in saying that nothing has been confirmed yet. My mate just died in his sleep with a brain hemorage at the age of 29. We never saw that coming either. Give him the benefit of the doubt.

    Have to agree there, all they have said is that there were pills beside the bed. For all the media know they could have been mints.

    If it's not drug related, I will retract my comments specifically for Heath.

    But generally speaking they all need a reality check and a damn good smack in the head.

    So it seems it may have been a tragic accident as he had pneumonia and was prescribed sleeping pills.

    Well that's the latest report anyway.

    Suicide? Sorry, but found peacefully in his bed and pills around? I'd read recently that he had some troubles associated with his 'Joker' roll. He was actually quite troubled during the roll; due to the nature of his roll as the joker and his performance of such.
