With Matilda being only two and a half at the time of Ledger’s death from an accidental overdose, Michelle felt that her daughter missed out on ever knowing her father and is unlikely to retain any memories of the Australian born Dark Knight actor.

While the devastated fans of Michael Jackson await the release of the movie depicting the final days of the Thriller star’s life, as he rehearsed for his doomed The Is It concerts at London’s O2 Arena, there’s another group of fans who’s wait has been longer and less publicized, and they are the very patient fans of the late Heath Ledger who last saw their idol in the 2008 Batman movie when he filled the role of The Joker.

The insurance company under which Heath Ledger held a life insurance policy is being sued for not paying $10 million in benefits to his daughter, claiming the actor may have committed suicide. Police ruled the death of the 28-year-old star was accidental, from an overdose of painkillers and other medicines.

But lawyers for the ReliaStar insurance company, have claimed his death was suspicious and possibly a suicide, which would nullify the policy.

Ledger’s daughter with actress Michelle Williams, Matilda Rose, 3, was named as the beneficiary in the policy.

ReliaStar apparently wants  to investigate the possibility of suicide, but read more ....

Heath Ledger’s Girls are Moving On

Posted under Free for All & Heath Ledger & Michelle Williams & Jude Law & Colin Farrell & Johnny Depp

Seems like Matilda and Michelle Williams are getting into a day-to-day routine - one that’s making both of them happier - since Heath Ledger’s death. Michelle has been spotted out with Spike Jonze and Matilda continues to be surrounded by the friends and family of her parents.
Not that moving on is ever easy, but it’s great to know Heath’s co-stars have the interest of his little girl at heart:  Johnny Depp, Jude Law and Colin Farrell, the actors who took over Heath’s role in his final movie The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus,  will be donating all their profits to read more ....

Does Mary Kate Olsen Hold the Missing Key?

Posted under Free for All & Heath Ledger & Michelle Williams & Mary Kate Olsen

mk and heath.jpg

Mary Kate Olsen had a close friendship with Heath Ledger just prior to his death in January this year. But so far she is the only one who has refused to give any assistance to the federal investigators from the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency who are probing Heath’s accidental drug-related death.

Given that investigators found the two had communicated by phone only a short while before his death, it appears a little strange that Olsen has nothing to say on the matter, well at least not without first being given immunity from prosecution, which is her constitutional right.

It was always obvious that the Batman movies wouldn’t end with the passing of Heath Ledger but he certainly left a huge pair of shoes to be filled following his performance as The Joker in The Dark Knight, which has seen the movie topping the box office ratings for two consecutive weeks taking $314 million in just 10 days and now there is talk of it challenging Titanic to become the biggest movie of all time. Titanic took $600 million in the US. The Dark Knight certainly looks set to reach second place in the all-time chart and beat read more ....

Heath Ledger would be…proud?

Heath Ledger as The Joker.jpg

An over-the-top Batman devotee was arrested this week for attempting to pinch unspecified movie memorabilia from the Three Rivers 6 theatre in Michigan while dressed as The Joker.

What a loon!

Sky News reports that Spencer Taylor, 20, marched into the cinema sporting a purple suit and a full face of makeup - just to complete the iconic ensemble.

Skipping the concession stand and getting right down to business, the young jester made a grab for anything and everything resembling The Dark Knight. And once flabbergasted employees were made aware of the situation, they phoned read more ....
