Actor Heath Ledger was just found dead at 3:35 PM ET in his Soho apartment, with prescription pills lying beside his body. Ledger was 28. While the cause of death is still unknown, Ledger was reported to have had a substance abuse problem, and it looks like an accidental overdose.
While Ledger will probably be most remembered for dark, tortured roles such as Enis in Brokeback Mountain and The Joker in the upcoming Batman movie; I prefer to remember him as he was in 10 Things I Hate About You. The guy from the wrong side of the tracks, who with the PG-13 love of a good women, comes back to the right side of the tracks. If only real life was that simple for Ledger.
See… this is what’s wrong with America. No not the Paparazzi… that the Paparazzi are such pussies.
Okay, I know it’s their job, but show a pair of balls. Do you honestly want the whole world to know you were beat up by the lead singer of Coldplay? Wouldn’t it be better in this case to just destroy the tape and tell people a girl gave you a black eye?
In his performance as the self centered doctor Gregory House, you get the idea that Hugh Laurie is versatile, but I had no idea he was this versatile. Taken from his English TV show “A Bit of Fry and Laurie” which is actually a lot of Fry and Laurie, you get five musical performances:
The first is Laurie singing The Beatles’ “Hey Jude” in a chipmunk voice; don’t ask me why. The second is a rather brutal parody of 80s Bruce Springsteen. The third I don’t really get so lets just skip it. The fourth is Hugh Laurie getting down with his inner Vanilla Ice. Yes, House actually raps. And finally we get Laurie singing the lyrics of Bob Dylan… at least as much as Bob Dylan sings the lyrics of Bob Dylan.
Kind of gives a whole new meaning to the phrase “picking on someone your own size”.
I have so many questions about little person boxing. Do they call the ring “the parakeet cage”? Do the dwarfs use “the Snow White” sleeper hold? And why do the two look like they’re about to make out between rounds? That’s not what they meant by “anything goes” rules.
With his company Worldwide Pants striking a private deal with the Writer’s Guild, David Letterman was so flush with writer’s last night many of them weren’t even his! The heavy hitters from the Top Ten List they didn’t write included Sleepless in Seattle writer/directer Nora Ephron and Gilda Radner’s writing partner on SNL, Alan Zweibel.
That Robin Williams is as funny as you’ve seen him in years in just a bonus.
You’ve seen her die of asphyxiation at the hands of her mentally ill husband Chris Benoit and now you can see her naked! Classy, huh?
Hustler is announced that they’ll be publishing naked photos of Nancy Benoit, taken in 1986 before her career in the wrestling world took off. Ironically, the negatives were destroyed years ago, so what you’ll actually be seeing is video captures lifted from a video taping of the sexy photo shoot.
This story is doubly sad, not only is Nancy Benoit dead but now her bad 80s is going to live on forever.
