Default TOTALLY off-topic... RIP Heath Ledger!!

So sad! With all the celebrities that are embroiled in controversy and mixed up with drugs and in trouble with the law right now, you'd never expect to hear Heath Ledger has died. Potentially from an overdose of prescription pills, but they don't know for sure.

I thought he was a very good actor, and was really looking forward to seeing him in the new Batman movie later this year. (I guess I still am looking forward to it -- I assume it will be released as planned.)

Sigh. Such a handsome, talented young guy. It's a shame.

I absolutely didn't believe, I went right to yahoo.com and it was the yahoo news cover article. Here's the article for those interested http://omg.yahoo.com/heath-ledger-fo...-nyc/news/5898

My sister called and told me earlier and I was shocked. So sad that someone you think has everything in life can possibly be missing something. I feel so sorry for his little girl! =0(

I really liked him too - it's very sad. I was walking on the treadmill at the gym and it came on CNN... I was shocked. Didn't know he had a little girl

I was shocked too when I heard the news. I was driving home from the grocery store when heard. Unbelievable. I loved him in A Knights Tale and The Patriot. What was the other movie he was in?? Was it "Four Feathers"?
