I'm in total shock.

f**k. me.

... found dead at Mary-Kate Olsen's apartment!

-P-

Wow...

So tragically sad. He was in my favourite movie.

He plays the joker in the upcoming Batman movie, it's too bad we won't see him again in any future sequels.

Oh dear... Mary-Kate eh!

oh my god... what a total, total shock!!!

I just cant believe it!!

The final chapter of his wikipedia page is being written. It feels so final.

Something else came to mind. It is going to be really weird watching the new Batman movie due out this year now. He plays the Joker.

Someone told me it was at Mary Kate's apartment too, butt hey keep saying on the news only that it was at an apartment and also sometimes they say "his" apartment, so I am not so sure it is true that it was hers.

I didn't even know who he was until I noticed he was in 10 things I hate about you. I remember watching that on pay per view when it was on there however many years ago. lol

I'm sure Dan knows the address of all of the Olson residences. What say you Dan?

Prices for his autographs are hitting the roof now.

It's strange how things like that happen. I am sure that will last barely any time at all.

And the WBC are picketing his funeral.

Surprise surprise.

What does WBC stand for?

If you only looked like the girl in your av....maybe

(sorry trying to shed some joy on a dark subject )

I think he is referring to Westborough Baptist Church. I'm sure you've heard of them so I won't go into detail about them

Bloody hell. That's a ######ing shame, he was possibly the most talented actor of his generation, an actor who could take a character and really make them real.

Thanks for that - yeah I know those nuts.

I found this. It is revolting.

Their official website appears to be coming under attack because it's barely loading for me and some of the pages look a little messed up. I did see a mention of the picketing on there though.

What vile human beings they are.

Vile

I wish Jesus had taught about forgiveness and tolerance... it's too bad he had to run around the world antagonizing people becau...wait...

Too bad there will probably be so many people at his funeral, WBC won't be able to get close enough to have much effect. Add to that all the contemptuous looks they will likely get, and I think they'll be scared away.

Yeah that is the problem is so many people who are Christian do not even remoptely follow what Jesus taught. Then society in general blames the whole Christian faith rather than the morons who go around judging others. Whether Heath Ledger is "in Hell" or not... obviously nobody knows. But 1. It was classless to say it. 2. It's not up to those individuals to decide who is or isnt't, etc etc... and 3. You can't really be a good Christian if you're happy someone is in Hell even if it were true. lol

I personally don't go to church at all becuase I dont like how hypocritical they are. You're supposed to forgive and understand everyone makes mistakes, not judge other people and tell them how horrible they are rather than worrying about your own situation.

Just is annoying though that people in general hate Christians and all churches as if they all are the same AND non-Christians absolutely totally twist around what is even taught by the faith. They think Christians in general think if you do something against the Bible, you go to Hell when in reality it's not at all about that.

and yet in another topic you've made exactly the same generalisations about Muslims

Hypocritical much?

I did not make a generalization about Muslims! I said what their religious text states for them to do. Sorry I am not saying to them ok come kill me because you're supposed to.

I have a Muslim friend, and he hasn't killed me. What gives?

Let's carry this on in the other topic, this topic is above it.

lmao z0mgpwnr yes I indeed was owned by someone saying I am hypocritical becuase I stated what it says in a religious group's text. I did not say go kill them or picket against Muslims. The bottom line is a "good Muslim" is supposed to kill Christians. I stated what is apparently fact. Nobody ever challenged this guy who said the text states that, so I assume it does.


Becuase (according to this guy) he isn't a legit Muslim.

That's what I was referring to, yeah. (I was slightly too asleep and p***ed off when I posted to find the link, sorry); and I didn't mean to turn this into a debate about religion.

But yeah, it's very sad - it's still on the news that they're not sure in how (or why) he died although they did (as mentioned previously) find sleeping pills.

Real shame.

Despite his involvement in the movie, 'Batman', I had to WikiPedia him to work out who he was {from a friend telling me}. I'm shocked I didn't recognise he was in 'Batman'

Anyway, R.I.P Heath Ledger

Well he is only in the one coming out this summer. I'm not sure if they were done with the filming or not.

They had finished filming.

Yes they finished filming that. Apparently he was not done with another movie though, if IMDB's status updates are accurate.

Vile and apparently very stupid human beings considering that they've been successfully sued for HUGE sums of money that they don't have.

Anyhow, very sad to hear this news. He was an amazingly talented actor.

[toothorn]Wait...how did this go overlooked. I thought it was funny as hell![/toothorn]

I don't know, but I still keep not hearing anything about MK, so I assume it wasn't really at her apartment.

One of the articles posted here mentioned it I believe. Or one from digg like a TMZ link.

This really sucks. From what I'm hearing he's an awesome Joker in the Dark Knight and filled the role perfectly.

Perhaps 'cuz you misspelt Olsen?

It was initially reported by CNN that it was MK's apartment, which was quickly denied by her spokesperson and then was removed from the news reports, replaced with 'rented apartment' so I guess it wasn't hers. I think it was just a result of the fact that it was breaking news that all news outlets were desperate to report and were repeating everything that came over the wire and then had to correct later on. The BBC were also guilty!

That's another post though.

It's very sad indeed. Yet another talented actor, gone. A waste of a life RIP Heath.

Very sad news, he was a truly talented actor. RIP Heath

A real loss to the world

It's saddening.

From what I've seen and heard the media have different versions as aslways, I can only recall seeing him in "Ten things I hate about you" although I did like him is an actor. I hope he'll be able to lay to rest soon though, it's a great shame. I can't help but wonder if this outcome will help the batman movie in the wrong way....

:sad:

Yes such a tragedy, so young with such a big future ahead of him

My heart goes out to his family & friends
