Heath Ledger

I am so bothered by Heath Ledger's death...and it is so weird! I am not crazy for celebrity news...I know people who must watch Entertainment Tonight EVERY NIGHT! These same people also get People (the magazine) news updates on their email...so that every minute of the day when something crazy happens like Britney Spears screwing up her kids even more or Lindsay Lohan screwing herself up they know right away. Me, I don't much give a damn. I do feel bad for Britney's kids but in reality what do I care? Not much...

But Heath Ledger...it's just so sad. He was only 28 years old, had an adorable little girl and an ex-wife who though she divorced him I'm certain is torn up about this...today on NPR they had his dad speaking and he just sounded miserable, like his own life had ended. It is so scary...he was 4 years younger than me...4 years is such a long time....his life was cut too too short.

I truly hope that this was not at his own hands and just a tragic mistake.

I totally know what you mean! I feel unreasonably sad--not crying in my tea, but just sad. And I think it is that little girl. I've seen her sweet face on mommy blogs too many times not to feel bad.
