The last hours of Bernie Mac
In the last hours of Bernie Mac’s life, he was surrounded by his wife of thirty years, his daughter, and his sister. This is what his sister has to say about what went on as Bernie neared his passing:
“He struggled for his life. He couldn’t breathe.
“He opened his eyes on his own and looked at Rhonda. She called his name, and he opened his eyes and nodded to her. She smiled at him and told him, ‘Don’t leave me… More »

Mary-Kate Olsen wants immunity from Heath Ledger investigation
I don’t think her billions and billions of dollars from her weird little kid videos are going to save her this time. Mary-Kate Olsen, who was the last person to see Heath Ledger alive, is REFUSING to be interviewed by federal investigators probing the accidental drug death of her close friend Heath Ledger unless she receives immunity from prosecution.
Now, WHY, exactly, would she be wanting immunity? Everyone else who the authorities have interviewed have been absolutely helpful and… More »

Michelle Williams wants to make a movie about Heath Ledger for their daughter
Image details: 78th Annual Academy Awards – Arrivals served by picapp.comI thought this was a nice story. Michelle Williams is planning on making a remembrance movie of sorts for daughter Matilda, with different actors, etc. giving their memories of Heath to the camera. Here’s more:
“It makes Michelle’s heart ache that Matilda was so young when Heath died and she’s unlikely to retain any memories of her father,” a source told Australian Daily Telegraph. “She wants to keep his spirit alive… More »

Daniel Smith’s untimely death has been ruled an accident
picApp_publisherId = 674;picApp_imageId = 11172;picApp_imageWidth = 349;picApp_imageHeight = 504;picApp_configUrl = “http://pis.picapp.com/IamProd/FlashSite/GetConfig.aspx”;picApp_Picview=”http://pis.picapp.com/IamProd/FlashSite/en/picviewerv1_1.swf”;picapp_numberOfLine=2;ImageServe();
According to the official coroner’s report, Daniel Smith’s death was an accident….not a deliberate poisoning attempt by Mr. Poopy Pants Howard K. Stern. Basically, he had an overdose of methadone and a couple of anti-depressants, not a good combination, obviously.
I still think that Howard K. Stern had something to do with his death, and the death of Anna Nicole. He’s just too smarmy for words, and it’s just too… More »
The Heath Ledger legacy might just include a love child

Apparently, Heath had an affair with an older woman who was living with someone else when he was only 17. She discovered she was knocked up after this wild love affair ended. Now, we don’t have… More »
Naomi Watts and Michelle Williams pay tribute to Heath Ledger
Here’s what Michelle Williams had to say recently about her ex Heath Ledger:
“I think the interesting thing about Heath, which maybe people have only really fully discovered in his death, is how vulnerable he was. You can pick it up on it in his performances, but it’s easy to overlook because he was so physical and beautiful and strong and masculine,” she adds. “But there was always that underlying sensitivity. That’s who he was. He had a talent for… More »
Corinne Bailey Rae’s husband found dead

They’ve been married for seven years. I can’t imagine the pain she’s going through – perhaps it’s close to the pain I have whenever I have to listen to that song “Get Your Records On.” Aww, just joking. Kind of. … More »
Fight brewing over the estate of Heath Ledger

This is just sad, yall. Apparently, Heath’s dad Kim sucks at handling stuff like this; in fact, he so mismanaged his father’s estate that he was removed as executor. Heath’s uncles really, really, really don’t want Kim to be the executor, but since Heath left everything to his parents and sisters, they don’t really have a say in the matter. Yet.
This kind of thing just SUCKS, especially… More »

Hola, Snarkarinos! Yes, it’s true – we’ve reached a sad level here at SnarkyGossip, and it involves kittens. You don’t want to be responsible for sweet little baby kittens getting hurt, now, do you? DO YOU? Yeah, I thought so. On a completely unrelated note, we just got a quote for air conditioning in our house because I’m tired of sweating like a warthog in the summer, and HOLY CRAP is it ever expensive.

Heath Ledger autopsy results are in
First of all, let me apologize for posting so late today; a hamster (multiple hamsters) are apparently attacking the server this blog sits on and wreaking mighty hamster havoc. Or something like that.
ANYWAY, Heath Ledger’s autopsy results are in, and basically showed that his death was an accident (I still can’t believe that he’s gone, can you?):
The NYC medical examiner has finished the toxicology report following the death of Heath Ledger, and has just ruled that the actor’s death… More »

Heath Ledger was supposed to go to rehab in 2006
In the newest issue of US Weekly, there’s an article about how Heath Ledger was supposed to go to rehab back in 2006:
In March 2006 – just weeks after the couple walked the Oscars red carpet and when daughter Matilda was only five months old – Williams drove Ledger to Promises Treatment Center in Malibu, California, the confidant tells Us Weekly.
Ledger refused to check in, instead swaying her with a pledge to clean up.
Even after the couple realized “they were… More »
Heath Ledger’s conversation with self-improvement guru Deepak Chopra
Apparently Heath Ledger had somewhat of a relationship with self-improvement guy Deepak Chopra; this is their last conversation before he died:
“He was a little depressed about not having seen his daughter,” explained the Seven Laws for Spiritual Success author, who was with their mutual friend Shekhar Kapur – Ledger’s director in the 2002′s The Four Feathers – when he spoke to the actor the day before he died. “It was like, ‘I’m missing my girl. … ‘ He hadn’t seen… More »
