serious crayons:
I guess this means I have to like Sarah Jessica Parker now (or should I still hate her for what she said about not watching BBM?? I guess it's a tossup). I was already pleasantly disposed toward Natalie Portman. And Billy Bush, whom I always kind of liked against my own will, I can now like WITH my will, despite his evil third cousin or whatever.
But I agree with those who've said that video sounds like a whole bunch of nothin. If anything, it suggests he WASN'T a hard drug user. Unless he meant that for the sake of Matilda he's going to quit smoking weed from now on and just stick with cocaine and heroin.
BTW, Charlie Wilson's War opens with a scene in which Tom Hanks, as Charlie, is sitting naked in a hot tub with naked people doing coke. And he's the hero. (Of course, CWW was written by Aaron Sorkin, who was busted for cocaine in an airport and reportedly overcame a coke addiction. Wonder who's got a video of him?)

A gossip site reported that Heath's funeral would be held next week in Perth, and that it was restricted to family and close friends. Reportedly Helena Christensen and Michelle are going to be heading to Perth next week for the funeral.

Apparently the innocuousness of that video was the reason it was kicking around for two years without much interest being shown in it. When you consider Heath's passing the way he did, add in a few rumors and testimonies from "sources," and the start of sweeps season, it must have seemed like a cool idea to somebody at ET. I mean, you could make a toddler's birthday party seem like a coke bash with the right voiceover. ::)
Note to self: The next time you hear someone bashed on one of those shows, remember Heath. Then turn it OFF. >:(

A statement from Michelle, both heartbreaking and hopeful:

"Please respect our need to grieve privately. My heart is broken," Williams said in a statement released on Friday by Ledger's spokeswoman.
"I am the mother of the most tender-hearted, high-spirited, beautiful little girl who is the spitting image of her father," Williams continued in her statement.
"All that I can cling to is his presence inside her that reveals itself every day. His family and I watch Matilda as she whispers to trees, hugs animals, and takes steps two at a time, and we know that he is with us still. She will be brought up with the best memories of him," Williams' statement concluded.
This sounds like either Heath's family is still in New York, or that Michelle is in Australia.

Thanks for posting this Louise. It really shows that Mathilda was the best thing that ever happened to them.
for some reason or another, I couldn't quote your post here, so I copied it.
