18. I am numb... Hollywood has lost one of it's most talented and courageous actors. He and Jake put their reputations, even their lives on the line making Brokeback Mountain. I have loved Heath since I saw him in 10 Things. I pray that this was an accident. My heart breaks for Michelle and their baby.

23. Thank's Kelli for the latest, it's hard to believe what's out there. Maybe, he should have done a dramatic take on the life and times of SESAME STREET'S Big Bird. It's much more kid friendly, being's he has a tot and all. Though the height issue is another thing. Who know's if he had a fear of height's?

24. R.I.P He was pretty handsome and I thought he was super cute in "10 Things I Hate about You". Pray for his family especially his sweet lil baby girl and her mommy.

On the other note, I wonder what Britney is calculating to do next to steal Heath's headlines. I am not joking. I'd expect to see her name not his.

26. Kinda trippy how much he reminds me of Brandon Lee in his Crow make up! I liked both actors, but Brandon did not die by his own hand either, but still a bummer!

28. This came as a shock. You will be missed Heath. Sad that such a big talent and a devoted father passed away so young and way to soon.
My heart goes out to your family and friends.
May you rest in peace, and never be forgotten.
