R.I.P.
Lohan Distraught Over Ledger's Death

TMZ has learned Lindsay Lohan was seen sobbing inside La Scala with friends DJ AM and Samantha Ronson -- as the group consoled each other after learning of Heath Ledger's death.


Our cameras tried to get comment from Lohan about her former party pal's passing as she left the restaurant, but she was silent, and hid her face from cameras as her driver drove off. We're told the two were "very close" for some time.

76. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?? YOUR "REPORTERS", "CAMERAMAN" OR WHATEVER THE HELL YOU WANT TO CALL THEM ARE REPULSIVE. THIS IS NOT WHAT JOURNALISM IS. IT'S A JOKE, OFFENSIVE, AND IS PROOF THAT THERE IS A CONTINUED DUMBING DOWN OF THIS COUNTRY. IT'S SHAMEFUL. GROSS. INSENSITIVE. IMMATURE. DISGUSTING. I LITERALLY AM SITTING HERE DUMBFOUNDED. WHO ARE THESE SO-CALLED REPORTERS THAT YOU HIRE? AND WHO IS IN CHARGE OF HIRING THEM? IT WOULD BE A COLD DAY IN HELL, I KNOW, BUT WHY NOT STARTING THE EXAMPLE OF WHAT JOURNALISM IN 2008 SHOULD BE, AS OPPOSED TO BEING ON THE SAME LEVEL AS "THE GLOBE" TABLOID...ACTUALLY BENEATH IT? HOWARD, YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF.

78. I dont know how dramatic her reaction was to this death, but do you remember when the director of "Prarie Home Companion" , Robert Altman, died? She wrote a long letter about him. It just seemed that she was inserting herself into the news for attention. Perhaps a card just isnt enough sometimes if you are Lindsay.

There was this about Lindsay and Heath.. the Mean Girls star enjoyed a number of late-night sex sessions with the Australian actor after meeting him at New York's Beatrice Inn over Thanksgiving weekend. (2007)

"Lindsay and Heath hit it off straight away” claims a source “When she left the club she started texting him straight away and they hooked up a few times while she was still in New York. They were meeting late at night for sex. It was purely physical."

and then there is this about Robert Altman...


“I would like to send my condolences out to Catherine Altman, Robert Altmans wife, as well as all of his immediate family, close friends, co-workers, and all of his inner circle.

“I feel as if I’ve just had the wind knocked out of me and my heart aches.

“If not only my heart but the heart of Mr. Altman’s wife and family and many fellow actors/artists that admire him for his work and love him for making people laugh whenever and however he could..

“Robert altman made dreams possible for many independent aspiring filmmakers, as well as creating roles for countless actors.

“I am lucky enough to of been able to work with Robert Altman amongst the other greats on a film that I can genuinely say created a turning point in my career.

“I learned so much from Altman and he was the closest thing to my father and grandfather that I really do believe I’ve had in several years.

“The point is, he made a difference.

“He left us with a legend that all of us have the ability to do.

“So every day when you wake up.

“Look in the mirror and thank god for every second you have and cherish all moments.

“The fighting, the anger, the drama is tedious.

“Please just take each moment day by day and consider yourself lucky to breathe and feel at all and smile. Be thankful.

“Life comes once, doesn’t ‘keep coming back’ and we all take such advantage of what we have.

“When we shouldn’t….. ‘

“Make a searching and fearless moral inventory of yourselves’ (12st book) -everytime there’s a triumph in the world a million souls hafta be trampled on.-altman Its true. But treasure each triumph as they come.

“If I can do anything for those who are in a very hard time right now, as I’m one of them with hearing this news, please take advantage of the fact that I’m just a phone call away.

God Bless, peace and love always.

Thank You,

“BE ADEQUITE”

79. I thought La Lohan quit smoking?! I'm sure im not mistaken that there is a pack of parliment lights on her lap.

80. People need to back off and let his friends and family mourn this terrible loss in peace! Sheesh. Also, since Lindsay was "close" to Heath, this may be the reality check that she & all the other young hollywood partiers need.... (Brittney are you listening???)

81. okay first off.. Lohan is an idiot.. she doesn't even know how to get into a car.. she wacked her head on the door and that's why she had her head in her hands.. she wasn't crying over Heath she was crying because she's a complete moron and hasn't learned how to get in and out of vehicles.. this is ridiculous.. feel bad for Heaths family and poor child not people like Lohan!! REST IN PEACE HEATH LEDGER!

82. How much you wanna bet she doesn't even know him?

Same od, same old.

84. Wow, thanks for censoring my comment, TMZ. Heaven forbid I point out your lack of decorum.

Again, stay classy.

85. I believe she probably is very upset about her friends death, however she holds her head becuase she hits it as she is getting in the car, she's holding her head for that reason.

86. I agree with #5. You dont mourn a booty call! They werent invovled in any other way than sex. She is gonna milk it for all its worth.

88. I love TMZ, believe me I do and LiLo gets on my nerves like everyone else's but really...do you Paps have no shame? You can't just leave a person be? You gotta throw cameras in their face just for some money? I love money like the next person but really there needs to be a limit.

89. At such a sad time TMZ could and should show a little respect to friends of the late Heath Ledger.
