Wow, Les, I knew you were an honorary Euro-Brokie, but an honorary Asia-Brokie too... :-*

They're gossip/lifestyle magazines, but not too sensation-seeking, not the really low kind of yellow press (wouldn't have bought them otherwise).
The headlines are "Death of a dreamer" and "Heartless Hollywood". They both repeat the drug stories reported by American magazines, but at least show a very compassionate attitude towards Heath. Motto: the poor guy, Hollywood and the pressures applied to him destoyed this sensitive soul. I don't like this attitude either mostly because it evokes the strong impression he died a drug-related death (and we still don't know it, damn, how can they write such stuff then?).
But at least, they draw a very simpatico picture of him and don't take him down.
These are the covers:

I love the covers of these. I would like to get those, but I doubt they have them here. Great pictures.

Oh Jack, what a pitty you didn't see and reply to my post a few days earlier. I would have bought them and sent them to you. But every Thursday there are new issues of the magazines and the old ones are not sold any longer. Sorry, Bud.

Ledger at an art academy in Prague. “Because I D.J. in L.A., I’ve seen a lot of ‘actory’ types,”
says Shannyn Sossamon, Ledger’s love interest in A Knight’s Tale. “Heath is not actory.”
“Heath is much more grounded than I was at that age, when it all started happening for me,”
says Mel Gibson, Ledger’s co-star in The Patriot. “I think he’ll handle it better than I did.”
Heath hams it up.

In the current Rolling Stone, there's a very well-writen 1-page tribute article accompanied by a picture I've never seen. I'll probably end up buying it, but am hesitant about spending $5.50 on a magazine when there are only two pages I'm interested in.
