This morning while at the grocery store I picked up the latest issue of People which also has Heath on the cover. I actually picked up two of those. The man that was the cashier asked if I meant to get two and I kind of gave him a strange look and said "Yes"

I also got the People Magazine today. No, it's not available in Germany, but I got it via Brokie-mail.
Thank you so much my friend Leslie! :-*

I just purchased a copy of the People magazine on my way home from work today. :( I really wanted to have one of these magazines, just to keep. But, I couldn't bring myself to read the article.

My daughter started crying when she read the article. :(
Me too! Me too!
thank you Leslie.
Yay for Leslie, the thoughtful honorary Euro-Brokie!
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.

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!

Part 2 of Aussie mags
TV Week: had just 2 pages (14-15) didn't really have a cover pic, just a banner at the top that said 'farewell Heath Ledger: A special tribute.
NW new weekly: 7 pages (8-15)
Famous: 5 pages (10-14)
Those headlines are sickening! :'(
Leslie, I received the magazine today. Thanks so much. I was worried I might not receive it before we close for Chinese New Year holidays, in which case I'll have to wait until next week.
Oh, excellent! Thanks for letting me know!

I looked for magazines yesterday and indeed I found two with Heath on the cover! Vanitiy Fair and Gala. 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.
Here's one "of the nearly 25,000 stories published about Ledger's death."
From New York Magazine:
http://nymag.com/news/features/44217/ (http://nymag.com/news/features/44217/)
(Untitled Heath Ledger Project)
In which the protagonist dies mysteriously, and the audience analyzes his final days for clues to his real character.
“Nathan said, ‘Heath can’t see this.’ He was making an effort to protect him, and Heath was obviously in a vulnerable state. He said, ‘Heath cannot see this stuff, he had problems, he’s sober now.’ He was a really good friend actually, now that I look back on everything.”
GREAT cover! ;D
--except--
--the date next to his name--
--it's so wrong.
:(
I'm so glad to know about this! It is a nice cover (but of course sad). :(
It's so nice that the Advocate is recognizing him in this way. I'll be running to my nearest newsstand to get it ASAP. Is it out yet?
You're very welcome!
You're right, its one of the best tributes I've seen so far, was so glad that Empire had decided to do something to honour his incredible career - when it came through the letter box though, and I say the front cover, it just hit me all over again... is so weird...
I can imagine how that cover must have hit you hard... It's beautiful and heartbreaking at the same time.... Thanks for doing this! :-* I have asked my sis in England to get me a copy if it's sold.
It isn't. I've checked on their website. This is a subscription issue only. It's not available in the shops. :-\
I just ordered this off eBay! It is coming from the UK and the shipping costs more than the magazine! LOL
Where did you order it from then? Is it from somebody who is offering it or from the publisher? I want to get one too! :(
I'd love to get a copy too. What a great collector's item. The edition with the "Ironman" cover has the same article inside, so if I can't get the Heath cover, I'll probably still buy the other one just for the article. I'm pretty sure I can get it here near Washington, DC, because I bought the "Joker" issue at a Barnes & Noble near my home.
See you all at eBay.
Now, how do you do this ebay thingy?
Nope, never, nada ;D
But I have a feeling that won't be the case for much longer. ::)
Does anyone know where I can get a copy of that Advocate issue (in Chicago)? I've never even seen The Advocate for sale anywhere, and I'd really like to have a copy of that one.
Phew! I just bought the Empire magazine with Heath on the cover off ebay.
Yeah! My first purchase ever! ;D I bid unsuccessfully for three times and finally today there was one on offer with a 'buy now' tag, so I didn't hesitate.
this bidding is not my thing! So time consuming.
The Empire magazine I bought on Ebay has arrived today. The pic of Heath on the cover is just stunning.
Thank you so much, myprivatejack!!! :-* :-* :-*
cmr107,even if you can get a copy of "The Advocate",here I post the articles about Heath on it,if it could be of any interest for somebody... :)
He's back on the cover of People. I was in a hurry when I saw it in the store so I didn't have time to look at it, but the cover says something about his "secret child." ::) >:(
Great job, Chrissi! Thank you. It's easier than it used to be to read those details, but still so, so sad. I wonder if it's true he had gone back to drugs and alcohol. I'll still believe he was clean and sober til it's proven otherwise, and that, of course, may never come to pass. God bless, Heath. :'(
Are you bilingual, you must be at least pretty fluent in both languages.
Thank you Laura, Fiona and Meryl.
I wasn't raised bilingual (my parents both didn't speak any English) and have never lived in an English speaking country. I started learning it at school, fell in love with the language and just kept on learning ever since.
So measured by that standard I'd say I'm fluent in English. But compared to native speakers - that's of course a whole different story.
