Lawsuit emerges surrounding Heath Ledger being ’setup’ and filmed doing cocaine
Posted: April 11th, 2008, 8:53pm CDT by Hot Momma
Tags: heathledger Heath Ledger
A lawsuit against well known photo agency Splash News and two of it’s employees should raise some eyebrows. The photo agency allegedly set up and then filmed the late Heath Ledger in a hotel room using cocaine.The lawsuit, by an unnamed woman, filed Friday in Los Angeles Superior Court alleges that two Splash News paparazzi lured Ledger up to her room at the Chateau Marmont Hotel on Jan. 29, 2006. It says the paps gave him cocaine and secretly filmed the actor, who also had some of his own cocaine.
The woman wants to remain aynonomus in the court documents for “fear of consequences and repercussions” of what would happen if the “public were made aware of her true identity,” but labels her as a People magazine freelance reporter covering a Screen Actors Guild Awards afterparty at the West Hollywood hotel.
“She doesn’t intend with this lawsuit to seek publicity,” Douglas L. Johnson, the woman’s lawyer, told The Associated Press on Friday. “If anything, she’s seeking damages for the invasion of her privacy.”
The lawsuit names Splash News, managing partner Gary Morgan, and paparazzo Eric Munn and Darren Banks. Another element of the lawsuit is that the woman who filed was said to “occasionally date one of the parties involved Darren Banks.” Her claims against them include fraud, negligence, trespassing, and intentional infliction of emotional distress, among others.
The woman is suing for unspecified damages and profits from the sale of the Ledger tape because she says the defendants took control of a hotel room she paid for, used the mini bar and filmed her without her permission. She also claims her reputation has been damaged as a result of being featured in the footage, which she wants destroyed.
The woman’s lawyer told the AP: “She was deceived and doesn’t feel too good about it. She tried to physically throw them out of the room.”
The woman, who the lawsuit says appears in the video with her face blurred, claims she forgot about the tape until “Entertainment Tonight” began advertising footage. After airing a preview of the video in January, “ET” and sister show “The Insider” decided against broadcasting the footage because of public outcry.
At that time, they said the video did not show Ledger using drugs. The lawsuit says Ledger found out he was being taped by Munn on the hotel room’s balcony and was very upset about it throughout the evening, but that the paparazzi calmed him down several times, supplied him with more cocaine and insisted the tape would be destroyed. A cocaine dealer arrived in the hotel room later in the evening, the lawsuit adds.
The video later surfaced internationally and online at the News of the World Online. In the video, Ledger said that he was “going to get serious (word bleeped) from my girlfriend” for being in the hotel room. The video also showed Ledger rolling cigarette paper and saying “I used to smoke five joints a day for 20 years.”
A People magazine rep. confirmed the woman was freelancing for the magazine at that time and they were aware of the alleged encounter with Ledger, but there were too many questions surrounding the circumstances for People to write about it. The representative said the woman is no longer associated with the magazine and has not been since last year.
Ledger’s representative had no comment about the lawsuit. Phone calls to Splash News were not immediately returned Friday.

Heath Ledger’s will goes entirely to parents, siblings
Posted: March 8th, 2008, 1:18pm CST by Hot Momma
Tags: heathledger Heath Ledger
The late Heath Ledger drew up a three page will in April 2003 in Australia, before his Oscar-nominated role in Broke Back Mountain. At that time, Heath left all his wordly goods to his parents and sisters. This was before his relationship with actress Michelle Williams, mother of his daughter Matilda whom he met on the set of “Brokeback” . Documents filed in Manhattan court state that he had less than $145,000 in assets at the time, including a $25,000 Toyota Prius and $20,000 in furniture and fixtures. Obviously before he made it big.Ledger’s life came to an end tragically after an accidental overdose at the beginning of the year. No word on whether the actor made any arrangements for Michelle and Matilda. From the records there are no hint of the real size of his wealth, which would include the fancy Brooklyn townhouse he and Williams shared, and any property in Australia or cash stuffed in trust funds.
“If they had jointly held assets, those are not subject to probate,” said Karin Barkhorn, an estates specialist at Bryan Cave. “There’s no sleight of hand, it’s just not required.”
Barkhorn also pointed out that celebrities often put most of their money in trusts, which are not subject to public proceedings in Surrogate’s Court. It’s a lesson to all of us to make a will and keep it up to date.
Update: Heath Ledger’s family responded quickly Saturday quicky to these reports that their late son had not updated his will since his relationship with Michelle Williams and the 2005 birth of their daughter Matilda Rose. They said in a statement:
“Matilda is our absolute priority and Michelle is an integral part of our family,” Heath’s father Kim Ledger says in a statement. “They will be taken care of and that’s how Heath would want it to be.”
So I guess, no worries mate!

Johnny Depp, Jude Law, and Colin Farrell will each take turns becoming multiple incarnations of Heath’s character transformed, in the “magical” world of “The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus”, according to AintItCoolNews.com.
Ledger was shooting The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus in London just days before he was found dead in his New York apartment last month.
Director Terry Gilliam was determined to salvage the unfinished movie and has asked Depp, Law and Farrell to pay tribute to Ledger by taking turns to play his character in the scenes the Australian never got to shoot. There is no word as to when the film will resume production.
On a side note. Heath ledger’s last film character The Joker, from this summer’s Batman movie has been unveiled just a week after his funeral.
Ledger’s grieving family have backed the release of the Mattel action figure to go with the upcoming movie ‘The Dark Knight.’
Two versions of the Ledger imaged Joker doll will hit toy stores in May.

Heath Ledger’s Memorial and Funeral were today

Memorial Service
About 400 mourners gathered in Perth, Australia, today for actor Heath Ledger’s memorial service.
The West Australian newspaper reports that the mourners included Cate Blanchett, Thorn Birds star Bryan Brown, model Gemma Ward (who was most recently linked to Heath), and Heath’s ex-fiancee, Michelle Williams, dressed in a black-and-white dress, who walked into the chapel of Penhros College clutching the hand of Heath’s older sister, Kate. Heath and Michelle’s 2-year-old daughter, Matilda, was not seen at the memorial service, which began at about 1 p.m. local time with the playing of a traditional Aboriginal mourning song on the didgeridoo.
Attendees of the two-hour tribute received a memorial program featuring a photograph of Ledger. At the start of the ceremony, a select group of songs were played, including “These Days” by Australian band Powderfinger; “Wish You Were Here” by Pink Floyd; “Superstition” by Stevie Wonder; “The Times They Are A-Changin’” by Bob Dylan, “Seven Nation Army” by the White Stripes, and a song by The Shins.
One of the first speakers was sister Kate Ledger, who addressed the attendants with a montage set to the tune of the Beatles’ “Here Comes The Sun” playing in the background.
The service also included video montages, and one, featuring Matilda, included “very moving little bits,” Scott said. The Matilda video presentation was accompanied by musician Ben Harper’s “Happily Everafter In Your Eyes,” which Harper had written just for her. (Harper and Ledger had teamed up last year to start their own record label called Masses Music Co.)Afterward, footage from Ledger’s film work was shown. Oscar winner Blanchett spoke to the audience afterward; Scott said Blanchett was “wonderful.”
A friend montage followed with its soundtrack being “1979” (the year Ledger was born) by the Smashing Pumpkins. A family montage was set to “Old Man” by Neil Young. Of these montages, Scott said, “they were very tastefully done,” adding of the overall tone of the service, “It was a wonderful memorial. Typically so soon after the sudden death of a young person, there were many people who were very emotionally moved as you’d expect.”
The private funeral
A private funeral was held today with 10 members of Heath’s immediate family. Heath Ledger’s remains were cremated Saturday afternoon, local time.

Tags: heathledger Heath Ledger
Heath Ledger died of an accidental overdose of prescription drugs, the New York City medical examiner’s office has ruled. The cause of death was “acute intoxication by the combined effects of precription medications including painkillers, anti-anxiety drugs and sleeping pills, lead to the overdose. The office issued this statement:“Mr. Heath Ledger died as the result of acute intoxication by the combined effects of oxycodone, hydrocodone, diazepam, temazepam, alprazolam, and doxylamine. We have concluded that the manner of death is accident, resulting from the abuse of prescription medications.”
It wasn’t revealed what concentrations of each drug were found in Ledger’s blood, or whether one drug played a greater part than another in causing his death.
Heath’s private funeral is expected to take place in Perth, Australia this Saturday.

Best left unsaid?
Posted: January 26th, 2008, 5:54pm CST by Hot Momma
Tags: heathledger michellewilliams Heath Ledger
A highly controversial article has come out from the UK Daily Mail, which makes some very strong allegations about Heath Ledger’s drug problems and how it lead to his untimely death. It starts with the premise that Michelle Williams and Heath Ledger broke-up because of his drug abuse, which is said to have included addiction to heroin and cocaine.
A member of the actor’s “inner circle” Rebecca White, claims that Heath’s drug problem spiraled out of control recently because he thought his ex, Michelle, was gonna request full custody of their daughter, Matilda. Leading Ledger to get more reckless than ever with cocaine and heroin.
The article suggests Ledger and Williams who meet while co-starring on Brokeback Mountain were a mismatch from the start:
White said: “It was this movie-set romance and Michelle got unexpectedly pregnant. It absolutely would not have lasted if she hadn’t. “He was a partygoer and Michelle was quite straight. But when she got pregnant, Michelle was determined to have the baby. Heath wanted to do the right thing and stick by her.”
The article also offers up a theory on what led to Ledger’s death.
According to White, “He was not the type to have killed himself. The way I hear it, he went out the night before, he was doing cocaine, he wasn’t able to sleep, and the investigators think he woke up, didn’t remember taking sleeping pills and then took what accidentally was an overdose.”
Stories like this often come to light shortly after a tragedy. There is so much we don’t know about peoples lives and the real dramas going on. Perhaps some things are just left better unknown. Hopefully, the toxicology results will bring some closure to all of this.

Lindsay Lohan and Heath Ledger romantically involved?
Posted: December 4th, 2007, 6:08pm CST by Hot Momma
Tags: heathledger lindsaylohan Heath Ledger
Lindsay Lohan reportedly dumped Riley Giles last week after spending Thanksgiving in New York with him and family because according to close friends he was always pouting, a hanger-on, cheap, …. but now the question is did Lilo pull the trigger to dump Giles after meeting actor Heath Ledger? According to Australia’s New Weekly magazine Lindsay is dating or at least seeing Heath Ledger.The magazine clams that the Lindsay participated in a number of late-night sex sessions with the Australian actor after meeting him at New York’s Beatrice Inn over Thanksgiving weekend.
“Lindsay and Heath hit it off straight away” claims a source “When she left the club she started texting him straight away and they hooked up a few times while she was still in New York. They were meeting late at night for sex. It was purely physical.”
Doesn’t sound like this is going to be a lasting relationship but if it helped Lindsay make up her mind to get rid of Riley, I approve.
Meanwhile Ledger has been single since splitting from fiancee Michelle Williams with who he has a two-year-old daughter, and has been spotted on the New York party circuit flirting with a slew of women.

I hope like his makeup Heath can find the right balance to play this role with flair but not overdone. The Dark Knight is the forthcoming sequel to the series restart, Batman Begins, starring Christian Bale as the masked crusader. Bale and Ledger will be joined by Maggie Gyllenhaal (Rachel Dawes), Gary Oldman (Lt. Gordon), Aaron Eckhart (Harvey Dent), and, of course, Michael Caine (Alfred).
