Well, I doubt you're hearing this for the first time today, but in case you missed the news - Heath Ledger, age 28, was found dead this afternoon. Right now they are assuming that it was an overdose, as pills were found near the body, but still do not know if it was an accident or not.
Ledger last wrapped up filming of The Dark Knight, the sequel to the most recent Batman movie. Ed posted the trailer last month. He planned to go to Vancouver after his stay in New York to wrap up his latest movie, The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus.
The actor is probably best known for his work in Brokeback Mountain and A Knight's Tale. I have personally only seen him in A Knight's Tale, but thought he looked like an absolutely fantastic Joker in the trailer for Dark Knight. Regardless of how little I knew his work or cared for him as an actor, it is certainly sad to hear of another young talent with a near limitless future have their life come crashing down. R.I.P. Mr. Ledger.

Health Ledger Found Dead In Manhattan Apartment

I hadn't even known he was the joker when I first saw those trailers. When I found out it was him it blew my mind.
On a side note, Brian was spreading a rumor that the apartment he died in was that of one of the Olsen Twins. You should continue to do so.
I have no idea why MSNBC initially reported that it was Mary Kate Olsen's apartment. I'd like to think some guy with a huge crush on Mary Kate (maybe Brian!?) started the rumor so someone could come out, debunk it and reveal the location of her real apartment. Stalker's paradise (similar to Gangsta's but slightly less killing).
Haha, if someone had really done that with that intention in mind, it would be awesomely genius. Much like your facebook roundabout plan for Andy.
