Sleeping pills, it seems, caused Heath Ledgers heart to seize. An NYC Fireman just told a CNN news reporter, “Two bottles of sleeping pills were found next to Heath, one prescription, one not.” Heath had been open with reporters about his recent battle with sleep deprivation. He told one reporter he’d turned to prescription sleep aid, Ambien, while filming the latest Batman installment:
“Last week I probably slept an average of two hours a night,” he said. “I couldn’t stop thinking. My body was exhausted, and my mind was still going.” Then the reporter adds, “One night he (Heath) took an Ambien, which failed to work. He took a second one and fell into a stupor, only to wake up an hour later, his mind still racing.”
Dee: TMZ is reporting that Heath Ledger has passed away. The 2006 Academy Award nominee was found in dead in Mary-Kate Olsen’s apartment in Soho. No word yet as to Mary-Kate’s whereabouts at the time. A masseuse had arrived for an appointment and was let in by the housekeeper. When Heath did not respond to repeated knocks on his bedroom door, the two entered to find him unconscious. Heath was in full cardiac arrest lying face-down on the floor. Paramedics arrived and tried to revive him but all efforts were futile and he was pronounced dead at the scene. TMZ is also reporting that his bedroom was “strewn with pills.” Apparently, there was prescription medication everywhere. Whatever the cause of death, Heath was an amazing human being. He possessed an inner incandescence which he carried with him always. He will be missed.
UPDATE: TMZ now reporting Heath was NOT at Mary-Kate’s apartment. Details coming… BREAKING: Ledger’s body removed!

When thrown on my desk, these photos of Mandy Moore would usually auto-slide right off into my trashcan / kiln. BUT one of these pics caught my eye: Mandy Moore has a hoverboard! This is all true. I wonder if Micheal J Fox and Mandy carve out some air on the weekends together?
Leo:
My guess is “No” Dee. Micheal J Fox isn’t allowed to unscrew Oreo cookies, let alone play with his hoverboard. So insensitive…
Nicole Kidman admits that she was shopping around for nunneries after her divorce from Tom Cruise.
The Oscar-winning actress, whose 10-year marriage to Tom ended in 2001, was reportedly left so heartbroken she researched into joining a Catholic order that accepted divorced women…I guess she never found one. This drastic (almost) decision was obvioulsy an attempt to run as far and as fast as she could from Scientology. We’re just glad she able to escape from that Cult in one piece.
