Heath Ledger is dead...so?

Heather Ledger was found dead today at the age of 28. He was in his apartment and a bunch of pills were found next to him. Now we're going to have to sit through tributes from a bunch of losers (those blubbering fans who never knew the guy) and listen to actors who didn't know the guy comment on his passing. Here's John Travolta's reaction upon hearing about Ledger's death: “He is one of my favorite actors. His abilities are rare...it’s a tremendous loss. It’s hard to be here celebrating Australia under these circumstances.” Right. Ask Travolta to name one Heath Ledger movie--other than "Brokeback Mountain." Can you?

Listen, it's tragic for his family and to leave a little girl without a dad is devastating. But it's not like they found Robert DeNiro dead. I heard that people in CNN's entertainment section were crying. Really? Did they cry when Brad Renfro died last week? You might read that and wonder who Brad Renfro is. Exactly. Get over yourselves. And I hope we don't start to hear about how drugs are killing young actors and if this is the start of a bad trend. Drugs are killing a lot of people and that's not going to change.

Call me and insensitive prick but let's all have a nice hot cup of reality and get back to whatever it is we all do.
