cleolindaNot a bad day. Not a productive one, but not a bad one, either.
Heath Ledger: CNN Clears up some of the lies about Heath Ledger's Death. It's also been pointed out that Ambien is not recommended for people with respiratory problems, under which "pneumonia" could easily fall. Also, Ledger’smasseuse massage therapist made 4 calls to Olsen. What's in dispute right now, of course, is whether he had already passed or not, because if he hadn't, and the massage therapist made three calls to Olsen before calling 911 (the fourth one was after), that's kind of bad.
Cellphone video of Ledger's last performance on the Gilliam set (not really all that exciting; mostly a lot of running); Johnny Depp to Replace Heath Ledger? (“There is a point in the film when Heath falls through a magic mirror. He could change into another character after that and that is where Johnny would come in. It’s a weird, fantasy, time-travel movie so Heath’s character could easily change appearance. It would be a poignant moment"). Meanwhile, the official Dark Knight site has been turned into a memorial.
Sales of Ledger films spike following his death. Well, of course. I'm sad I don't have a copy of 10 Things I Hate About You, personally. Just don't print out dinky signs to shill your Death Heath Ledger Movies display.
Ledger’s family pays tribute to ‘old soul’; Ledger To Be Honored by L.A. Memorial; Daniel Day-Lewis is genuinely upset and a total class act; Video Blog: Ellen DeGeneres Pays Tribute to Heath Ledger; Star Jones: somehow, a voice of reason.
Fox News' John Gibson Issues Totally Fake Apology For Being A Twat About Ledger Death; Dan Abrams calls said newsman out; Gay Activists Blast Radio Host Who Mocked Ledger's Death; Gibson Defends His Mockery Of Ledger's Death (includes information on how to complain to Fox News and their advertisers). Also: Warren Ellis is complete asshole about Ledger death; 99% of internet turns on him in 48 hours.
In case you're wondering, this is pretty much the last gigantic Heath Ledger linkspam. If anything significant happens, sure, but: we've had four days of it now.
