Magazines featuring Heath
jstephens9:
I notice that some magazines are featuring uncomplimentary covers concerning Heath. I'm not surprised considering how some of the media are treating Heath's life. It is very sad that some choose to do this. I am not interested in getting the magazines that state such things as Heath's drug abuse, the Heath you didn't know, etc. I am interested in the ones that give tasteful tributes which is exactly what Heath deserves. I agree that Entertainment Weekly could have found a better picture, but it is rare that I find a picture of Heath that I do not like in some way. The article is also quite good. I have not read the one in People yet. If any of you find magazines that are complimentary in nature I would like to know about them and if you could pick me one up I would be happy to pay for it, postage, and your time for getting and sending it. I know there will be several in other countries than the United States. As kd5000 said I have a large number of magazines dedicated to Brokeback from small magazines to Rolling Stone. We will have to compare the ones we have kd5000.

Certainly In the UK, Heat had a five page spread - a full double page photograph of ennis smiling - it was lovely - and a full page of tributes from readers
There was another with a three page spread - that was my quick flick of the mags today.

The newest People has "Heath and Michelle: The Untold Story" on the cover.

I went to the International Magazine Shop in the town near to where I live yesterday. They had told me the day before that the new Entertainment Weekly issue would be available the next day. So off, I went, only to find the January 25th issue with that Conan O'Brien guy on the cover. ???
Can someone tell me the date on the issue with Heath on the cover? Leslie, have you read it sofar? Are the articles any good? Or is it more speculation?
I'll think I'll pass if that's the case.

The date on the magazine is February 1, 2008. The article is fine--no new information, of course, but a nice tribute with some good pictures.
I went to the newsstand at the airport yesterday looking for it. There was EW with Ellen Page (Juno) on the cover. Ack! I said to the cashier, "Do you have Entertainment Weekly?" (even though I was looking right at it) and she very nicely said, "Yes, second row from the top, on the right." I said "Oh," and must have sounded really sad because she said, "Do you want the one with Heath Ledger on the cover?" and I said yes. I guess the new issue had just come in and she hadn't finished processing the ones from last week that needed to be returned. She said, "I have one left, I can still sell it to you." And she did.
Bless you, very nice young woman at the Portland International Jetport! I hope lots of good luck comes her way the next few days. She deserves it!
