The actor Heath Ledger was found dead this afternoon in an apartment building at 421 Broome Street in SoHo, according to the New York City police.
The film community lost one of its brightest young stars today, as Heath Ledger was found unconscious in a New York apartment at 3:30 this afternoon when he did not respond to knocks on his bedroom door. Authorities do not suspect foul play, but found sleeping pills next to the body. The actor was 28.
Ledger was set to appear as the iconic Joker in this summer’s The Dark Knight, and many who worked on the project claimed Heath gave the performance of a lifetime; those words take on a much more melancholy tone now. Our deepest condolences go out to his family and friends, Heath will be dearly missed.
Update: The apartment was not, as previously reported, owned by Mary-Kate Olsen; this erroneous detail was first reported by police, and has since been reversed. We apologize for this error.
Update #2: The Associated Press is reporting that today’s autopsy reports came back inconclusive. More tests will be needed, which will take about 10 days to complete.

Miley Cyrus the 15-year-old star of Disney’s teeny-bopper juggernaut Hannah Montana thinks Britney Spears needs help. Miley told Extra last night that she understands how Britney is the way she is:
"I understand and the pressure is definitely hard, but I think just keeping your head on your shoulders is easier than it looks," she said. "I think if you know who you are, then I think you'll be fine for the rest of the way.”
The sad thing is that in ten years Miley Cyrus, a product of Disney just like Britney, will be arrested for selling her baby for two Mallomars and half a container of Cool-Whip. She could’ve had a normal childhood, but no, Billy Ray Cyrus had to have his solid-gold hunting cabin. Complete with fully functioning “Budweiser Mullet Volumizer Chair.” Got-damn, Billy Ray, was it worth the ding dang price of your kin? Wait, y’alls got a bowling alley next to the tree stand. Su-weet!
dr phil is still a jerk
Dr. Phil commented on his show yesterday about his meeting with Britney Spears while she was hospitalized after a custody standoff with the police. Dr. Phil still feels the visit was appropriate, but regrets making a public statement, according to USA Today:
"Was it helpful to the situation? Regrettably, no. It was not, and I have to acknowledge that and I do," the talk show host told his audience Thursday during taping of a Dr. Phil episode that will run Monday.
"I definitely think if I had it to do over again, I probably wouldn't make any statement at all. Period."
Dr. Phil says he made the statement to Entertainment Tonight because the media would come to him asking why he was there:
He disputes those who say he inappropriately discussed her condition in the statement, which referred to Spears being "in dire need of both medical and psychological intervention."
"I said that before I ever met her," he says.
