Heath Ledger dead at 28 :(

Heath Ledger? :(Holy! CRAP!

Heath Ledger was found dead at 3:26 p.m. EST today in his New York apartment.

Police reports say he was found surrounded by pills (and yes, I’m watching CNN and writing as I watch).

As soon as I found out, I hit the gossip blogs to find out more and a bunch of their servers were down. People are going crazy!

I’ve never been a huge fan of his movies, but it was good to see him finally putting out some good ones — not that I didn’t enjoy “10 Things I Hate About You.” His role as the Joker in this summer’s “The Dark Knight” will be the last one he ever plays. Huge!! :(

Update: He was actually not found in his own apartment. He was in an apartment owned by Mary-Kate Olsen. Also, the media are already referring to him as the new “James Dean.”

Update #2: Apparently he was also naked when they found him (?)

    At first when I hard the apartment was owned by Olsen, I thought maybe there was some sort of lover’s tryst involved or something, but to clarify: I’m pretty sure it was just that the apartment was owned by Olsen, or previously owned by her.

    Damn shame, though. I’ll definitely be seeing Dark Night, after all this. Probably will rake in money at the box office, now.

    I just read that he has a daughter and stuff…so sad. :( Also, Olsen is vehemently denying that she owns or ever owned that apartment. It all sounds weird.

    When I got my personalized “Big Spoon” phone update regarding the death of Mr. Ledger, I shopping in an area CVS. After hearing the news, I immediately bought a Heath candy bar and ate it in memorandum. Just thought I would share a story about how some of us are coping.
