TMZ Accounts - Nicholson Warned Ledger About Ambien

There was something a bit odd today. Someone asked Jack Nicholson about Heath. All he said was, "I warned him." The interviewer thought he was talking about drugs... I got this weird feeling he was talking about playing the role of the Joker.... From what Heath said about 'finding' Ennis and becoming him, it's got my brain running in circles... Among some Wiccan groups, their is what is called invoking, or calling down the Moon, in which the person calls the spirit of the god they are working with into themselves.... There are all kinds of Jungian overtones to this... And, I've seen the result of this the year I was at Diana's Grove and they worked with the myth of Baba Yagah and Vaselisa the Brave... Let's just say after that year, Reclaiming Collective never went that route again...
I'm wondering if Heath took the role of the Joker into himself to where he experinced it as being this character... I remember how he said Ennis hung with him for months... If the same thing was happening after The Black Knight, no wonder he couldn't sleep and was ill. Throw playing Bod Dylan in right after that.... and, Hooo Boy!

I know it's easy to misunderstand sound bites out of context, but it sure sounds to me like Jack Nicholson has been bitter about Heath's Joker success. Maybe it's not coming across right, and I am misunderstanding.

Oh, I didn't even think of it *that way*. Yikes. I first thought it was about drugs. Then when I read Jess's post, I thought it was about simply playing the Joker and how hard it might be. Now this points out that Nicholson's warning was death. Eieooowww..
Phillip Dampier:
The BBC Entertainment report from earlier today (their evening) had Nicholson clarifying that he -was- talking about drugs. The debate over there regards to whether they were prescription or non-prescription medications, and Nicholson is being hounded again by the paparazzi and British press (which can be equally sleazy) for clarification. I keep the TMZ stuff in their own thread because it is not well sourced material and they tend to run with speculation... any speculation. We'll know for sure in about ten days' time.
