I had read somewhere -- most likely BetterMost -- that Heath was being considered for the role of the late Michael Hutchence in some upcoming movie. Interestingly enough, Helena Christensen lived with Hutchence before he hooked up with Paula Yates. Maybe that's what that was all about.
As for MKO, I don't think I'll ever understand the "why" of that one. :)

It could have been much, much worse. Think Britney Spears....

I posted that. I think it might be on this thread, actually. It was a commentary from Michael Hutchence's mother talking about reaching out to the Ledger family. She said that Heath was being considered to play her son in an upcoming bioipic.

This isn't a pleasant thing to be posting.
Us magazine is gearing up to have Heath on their next cover, and if what they've posted online is any indication it's going to be a full-blown hatchet job.
I'm not posting this to upset people but in hopes that a lot of us here will post rebuttals. Some of the comments already posted are of the predictable variety: "Hollywood lifestyle" this and "mess around with drugs & get what you deserve" that but so far most of the reaction has been very negative with more than one person taking Us to task and saying they ought to let Heath rest in peace. I just posted (as "talkstocoyotes", an alternate screen name) that the medical examiner, after a full week, still doesn't know what Heath died of but that doesn't stop the gossipmongers.
