BREAKING: Heath Ledger = Dead
TMZ reports the BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN actor Heath Ledger was found dead today in his Soho home. Police do not suspect foul play.
However unconfirmed rumors suggest he took the heroin highway to the Great Beyond. More news as it breaks.
UPDATE: Heroin rumors have given way to suicide-by-pills rumors. Apparently police found a bottle of sleeping pills (or as Mom used to call them, “Sandman Candy.” As in “here you go dear, take your Sandman Candy. Eat ‘em all up. Yum-yum!”) next to Ledger’s bed.
Body was discovered by Ledger’s housekeeper, who tried to rouse him when his masseuse arrive for a scheduled appointment.
Um, not to be insensistive (yeah, right) — I mean Ledger was a fine actor and seemed like a cool guy — but a pill-popping suicide attempt just before the masseuse was supposed to show up? Take note Owen Wilson: Sometimes the “cry for help” doesn’t quite work out.

This will surely affect WB’s plans with the Batman franchise as Ledger will be the Joker in the upcoming The Dark Knight

If by “affect,” you mean help make the movie a billion more dollars. Trust me, WB is all high-fives this morning. The real question is who will have the bigger posthumous film? Brad Renfro in THE INFORMERS? Or Heath Ledger in THE DARK KNIGHT? I’m no professional gambler (although, a horse I bet on once came in 4th place), but my money is on Renfro!
