Really sad and shocking news about the death of Heath Ledger. I don't know much about him or his work, but Brokeback Mountain will forever have the title of "the film I cried at more than any other and almost had to leave the cinema" so for that I am always grateful!
Apparently 28 year old Heath took a drug overdose at his home. So sad. It makes the whole Amy Winehouse / Britney Spears circuses look even more distasteful. When you realise that there ARE celebrities out there who have real, hidden problems which end in their suicide, it kind of makes it all a bit more real. The Sun showing their video of Amy Winehouse "out of concern for her" is such bullshit. The only interest that rag has is itself. Heat on its front cover this week has the headline "Britney: 6 months until dead". If either of those damaged and desperate people ends up in the same way as Heath, those journalists have blood on their hands.
Ok I'm getting a bit Earl Spencer now, but I feel very saddened that someone so talented as Heath has taken his own life and I fear for others who are currently in the spotlight with their own personal mental health issues.
