Heath Ledger 1979-2008

Heath Ledger 1979-2008

And so we're off, with the first untimely celebrity death to be reported on these pages.

A sad one it is, too, for it is our sad duty to report the demise of Australian-born actor Heath Ledger, found dead in a Manhattan apartment.

Seen as a rising star in Hollywood, Ledger was nominated for an Academy Award for his role in the 'gay cowboy' movie Brokeback Mountain.

Police suspect a drug overdose. He leaves a young family.

Sadly missed.

Poor bloke ... rapid rise to fame (a bit like me), and then a sudden exit ... he was far too young.

*Insert heartfelt sorrow here*

Dammit. I can't believe I chose Katie Price.
Britters is obviously the next on the Reaper's list

When I heard the news this morning I felt really weird.

John - you may now nominate a replacement for poor, dead H. Ledger.

John, for what it's worth, plz not to be tempted to reveal your dreams again. Tks.

John said...

Ooh, then I choose Sienna Miller.

I haven't dreamt about her.

Well, not in that way.
