Heath has recieved as the attention, when Brad got nothing. :( RIP

In fact does anybody that is reporting all of this @#$% know the real meaning of addiction, if not look it up. This man showed no real signs of addiction, and I can say that because I am an addictions case manager. Just because someone smokes a joint evert know and then or takes a hit of crack or what ever does NOT mean that they have a drug problem. No I did not know him personaly but I followed him in his carrer. He was very private and know his whole life is put under the scope. Some of these reporters really need to step off and leave the man alone, let him rest in peace.

Even if this video is true, it was two years ago and this would have been a person caught up in Hollywoods neglect of its starts. Let him rest in peace , and lets remember he has a daughter and family who love and miss him very much. Extra, I hope that you will be as smart as “ET and The Insider” and not show this video. We realy do ned to start looking at ourselves and asking ” if something happened to us, would we want the world to know our deepest ,darkest secret ? Rest In Peace Heath

ALL THE TABLOIDS AND ALL THE GOSSIP SHOWS REPORTING THIS SHOULD BE AHAMED OF THEMSELVES. THEY ARE NOT THINKING OF HIS DAUGHTER OR FAMILY WHO ARE SUFFERING EMMENSLEY UPON HEARING OF HIS DEATH. IT’S TRAGIC ENOUGH. THE VIDEO IS NOT EVEN FROM NOW. LEAVE IT ALONE. PEOPLE ARE GRIEVING HERE YOU INSENSITIVE BABOONS.

His only job to us was to entertain us….and what a great job he did. That is the only thing you should have the right to talk about.

Remember that Mr. Ledger was a person, a human being with a loving family that now have the media trying to drag his good name through the mud. Leave Heath Ledger’s legacy and reputation alone, leave this family alone to deal with thier grief and loss. Remember that the things you write about today will be around for his daughter to read in the future. I know personally what this is like, my family had to deal with the same garbage from media reports when 3 members of my family died last year. It is so unprofessional to report these things without any facts.

While i dont believe these stories, even if they ARE right and ultimately whether or not he was into drugs, it doesnt change the fact that he died! Why does the media insist on talking about issues that will affect how some people think of him. He was an amazing actor and appeared to be an amazing father and friend, so leave him alone and stop making it more difficult for his family and friends. Also, you guys are really great on keeping up with celebrities, considering you never mentioned the “issues” Heath was having until he died. It’s really easy to trash talk when he is no longer here to defend himself and all the money hungry people who “knew” him are trying to cash in. Extra, stick to what you know best…britney spears stories..

Personally, I cannot take anymore of “celeb’s personal problems” being the big news story of the day. No wonder so many struggle with drug and alcohol problems.
