*I was shocked to hear the news that Heath Ledger died at the age of 28. Heath's body was found by his housekeeper yesterday afternoon in his New York City apartment. An autopsy is being performed today, but indications point to an accidental drug overdose as the cause of death. Two bottles of sleeping pills were reportedly found near Heath's body. He leaves behind a 2 year-old daughter with former fiance Michelle Williams. Heath was nominated for an Academy Award for his role in Brokeback Mountain and he recently completed filming on the upcoming Batman movie, The Dark Knight, in which he plays The Joker. That movie is scheduled to open in theaters in July. It's just so sad--Heath Ledger was so young and so talented!
*Britney Spears is back with her creepy paparazzo boyfriend, Adnan Ghalib. No wonder why his wife just filed for a legal separation! Adnan was driving Britney's car last night and crashed into a guy on a motorcyle.
*Despite the rumors, Reese Witherspoon is not engaged to Jake Gyllenhaal.
