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.

While the rest of Hollywood is either on the picket line or working on their golf game, there’s still one group who realize life is to short to let down a public that does not quite look up to them.

That’s right the Munchkins from “The Wizard of Oz” just received the 2,352nd star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame Tuesday; and seven living Munchkins mostly avoided embarrassing themselves; with only a couple of the 80 and 90 year olds showed up in full costume.

Walk of Fame awards are notorious for being bought instead of earned, yes even Lassie has one; but as the Wizard of Oz had premiered 68 years earlier right there at the Grauman’s Chinese Theatre, for once the occasion felt appropriate.

Tila Tequila, the MySpace hot babe of the century, has recently published an agitated post on her over-flooded MySpace blog, regarding Michael Moore’s new movie, “SICKO“. It looks like Tila is fed up with the DIY stardom and she’s now aiming much higher: to become the first US female and midget president. Hilary Clinton might think she can earn votes by letting the people choose her campaign song; but Tila Tequila holds her own secret, ready-to-use weapon on her way to the DC: two good looking MySpace boobies and one digital cam.

Here are a few excerpt from the Tila Tequila movie review, accompanied by our special presidency rating system:

After watching this movie I am left feeling INFURIATED with the American Government. The United States of America is the richest country in the world so can someone please tell me why we have the WORST system for healthcare??? Why is it that we are the only country without National Healthcare? This problem could easily be fixed, and if a less enriched country such as CUBA can offer free healthcare and services for the people there…..why are we not able to do that here in America????

CAPS and a pile of question marks are politicians’ no. 1 friends. Very good, 10 points.

Why do we throw the sick and the poor out on the streets because they can’t afford healthcare or do not “qualify” for it? We are talking about saving people’s lives here with such a small thing. I pay taxes….we all pay taxes but where is all this tax money going?

Tila Tequila pays taxes, which is completely lame. Taxes are for nerds and Al Gore. Minus 12 points.

This is such a rich country yet we are the WORST at taking care of one another. Don’t you find it a bit bizarre that people have to PAY to go to college to get an education????

Yes we do. We also find it a bit bizarre to name yourself after a Mexican alcoholic drink. However, 28 points earned for the 4th question mark.

Why do students have to pay to get a better future that will in turn lead them into giving back to our community? Instead they get caught up in years of debt, hence leaving them in the rat race cycle of neverending work in order to pay off debt….not leaving much room for leisure.

Tila Tequila obviously knows the true meaning of leisure, and it’s perfectly reflected in her new album. However, since we’re all broke and generally suppressed by the US government, we won’t be able to buy it. Oh well, minus 29,567 points.

The Documentary “Made in Sheffield” spreads out the rise and fall of Sheffield’s electronic pop scene in the early 80′. Bands such as “Cabaret Voltaire“, “ABC” and “Pulp” that got their 15 minutes of fame later in their career, started as no more than beat up underground bands. While the reckless brats from London wasted their days smashing guitars and cursing the queen, the lovely lads from the north (Sheffield is northern England) thought they were killing Rock’n'Roll.

How did I come up with this? Well, I coincidently looked up ‘Sheffield’ in Youtube, and found a trailer to the film. When I saw Phil Oakey from “The Human League” saying “We thought we were the punkiest band in Sheffield. We were laughing at the band that learned to play guitar, ‘cos they bothered learning three chords, we just used one finger”, I knew I had to have it. After a while I found the movie’s torrent file and downloaded it.

This documentary is both historically interesting and self – consciously hilarious. Apart from telling the story ad electronic pop, it shows how to be an underdog without having self pity.

And for those of you who are concern with the questions “why the hell did you look up “Sheffield” in Youtube”: sorry, can’t answer right now. Too busy doing nothing.
