Friends Mourn Heath Ledger in Second L.A. Service
By Alexis Chiu
Friends and celebrity colleagues – including Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, Sienna Miller, Ellen DeGeneres and director Todd Haynes – gathered on the Sony lot in Los Angeles to remember Heath Ledger on Saturday, PEOPLE has confirmed.
The gathering included industry luminaries and those connected to CAA (the agency that represented Ledger), including Cruise and Holmes, who costarred with Michelle Williams on Dawson's Creek. It comes a week after relatives and close friends – including ex-girlfriend Naomi Watts – paid tribute to the 28-year-old actor at a smaller service at an L.A. cemetery.
Saturday's service began around noon on the lot, which is closed to the public. Attendees included Miller, Ledger's Casanova costar, and Shannyn Sossamon, who starred with Ledger in A Knight's Tale. Speakers included Haynes, who directed him in last year's Bob Dylan film I'm Not There.

When I first read this news I wondered what was Tom Cruise doing there, but then I remembered (the article also says it) that Katie Holmes and Michelle Williams worked together at Dawson's Creek. I can't believe I forgot about it.

Disgusting. If that were the case, then there is no way Michelle would allow Heath to go out on his own with Matilda. I wish they would just leave him alone.

Yes me too Sandy. Bloody paparazi are like vultures. No wonder Heath hated them. Bastards. >:( >:( >:(

Me too, but unfortunately that's not going to happen anytime soon. At least not until the autopsy results are out. :-\
I suggest not visiting those media websites. The more hits they get on the stories about Heath, the more they think people are interested in reading anything about him. Also try not to tune in their TV program either. Not sure if it will work but it worth giving it a shot.

I suppose it's the name of the deadline and punchline game.

After working in the public sector for 20 years, I've had the exact same experience!

a news site in Australia reports on the latest: Heath's family will be holding a private funeral, and Jake is 'expected to attend.'
