On 2nd Jan, Celebrity Big Bro started in the UK.
Mini-me from the Austin Powers movie - Verne Troyer - is in it.
Anyway. I had been out for food with my family and got home late. Callum and I often watch tv for 5 to ten minutes when we get into bed, just for noise mostly. Anyway. the channel it had been on earlier came on when we switched on the tv and it was live streaming of the new big brother house (I don't know if they do that in the US but its just streaming of the cameras and its innane chat and they switch back and forth on different cameras)
so we were like - oh we'll keep it on this to see if we actually KNOW the celebs, ha ha!
An mini me was talking about Heath with another guy. It stayed on him for about 2 minutes and then moved on. I was like NOOOO stay on him!
Apparently they worked togther on The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus. He was explaining to another contenstant how they managed to get Jude, Jonny Depp and Colin Farrell into the script with the use of the magic mirror and how they donated their earnings to Matilda. He said he would have done the same if he could have afforded to.
He was extremly complementary about Heath. What a lovely, personable down to earth guy and what an amazing actor he was - he spoke about darl night an the the contestant was like I saw the dark nght with my kids and he was really good. And verne was like yup - he deserves and oscar nomination and the other guy was like folk will just say its cose hes dead, and verne was like yeah ofcourse there will be those whispering but he was amazing he deserves at least a nomination. And then he said I mean - Brokeback Mountain - he was absolutely robbed by not getting the Oscar for that blah blah and was going on to talk about how good the film was when it moved to another camera.
I was like NOOOOOOOO!!!
So who knew, Verne Troyer - aka mini me - is a) a serious actor b) with serious points of view and c) has good taste in films & friends!

Kelda, that's great that you tuned in at just the right moment to hear Verne talking about Heath. Someone posted an interview with Verne Troyer not long after Heath passed, it must be somewhere in the Remembrance Forum, and his grief was incredibly moving. He and some other cast members got a tattoo of a heart (it was part of a note Heath wrote) in honor of Heath's memory. I also remember seeing him on one of the specials about Heath, and he was really torn up over it. :'(

I remember seeing that interview, it is on youtube as well and Verne is actually crying, when he talks about how amazing Heath was. It is such a lovely tribute he pays him and before seeing that, I really had not thought much about him. I felt ashamed when I saw what a kind and sensitive guy he is.
