61. I knew the scared, closeted little homo would be in hiding when Heath died. I guess Austin is pleased, eh, Jake?
Jake G aka Toothy Tile is a sad excuse for a human being. Heath was worth a hundred Jakes. Will it be too much for you to step up to the plate and be a real godfather to Tildy now? Guess so. You're too busy trying to convince what's left of your fanbase that you're straight.
I HOPE IT'S YOU THAT CAN'T SLEEP AT NIGHT NOW, JAKE!

64. For God sake,what does anybody expect??!! Jake has just lost a beloved friend. The press,the same press who beseiged Michelle and Matilda on their home-coming to New York,will doubtless claim the usual pathetic excuse that they are "just doing their job", when they try to get a photograph or a comment from a man who is understandably distraught and coming to terms with an absolute tragedy! All of you,press,religious nutters claiming it's retribution for starring in "Brokeback",paparazzi bastards trying to make a fast buck out of people's misery (yes,remember,these are real human beings you are persecuting) - just back off!!
Heath got a raw deal from a large section of the press in life - have the decency to leave him alone in death. I just pray for Jake,Michelle,Matilda and all who knew and loved Heath that they find a way through this desperate time.

65. Where was Jake when his best friend was going through a horrible time that ultimately led to his death. Jake was filming.
Where is Jake now? According to this report, Jake is filming.
Jake only cares about his Hollywood image. He does not want his fans to know he's gay. He's distanced himself from Brokeback. And, despite still having a sexual relationship with his longtime boyfriend, Austin, he's running around with Reese trying to look straight.
In the end, Jake was not a good friend to Heath, and I'll never forgive him for it. I may be just one person, but I'm willing to bet a lot of others feel the same way about this worthless coward.

66. I'mDisgustedByJake, just shut the hell up! Your obsession with Jake's sexuality and your nasty, judgemental attitude about his relationship with Heath is pathetic. You are the one that is disgusting for trying to exploit internet rumors as a basis for fact. You know nothing about Jake, his sex life, his relationship with Heath or anything else, so leave him alone, disgusting idiot. Unlike you, Jake's real friend just died. Respect his privacy.

67. I am NOT using internet rumors to form my opinions.
Hey, Jake, do you still have the crystal hyppo, or did Austin make you toss it?

All you Jake-ASS lovers, don't you worry. Jake will come out of this unscathed. He has his powerful Hollywood family behind him.

RIP Heath

70. Where is Jake Gyllenhaal? At a guess, I'd say trying to come to terms with the sudden and tragic loss of a close friend. Leave him to grieve in peace:(

71. Never fails to amaze me how such trajedies can bring out the most vulgar, rude and inappropriate comments.
Respect is a learned behaviour, which somehow bypassed some of the people on this comment board.

Jake, with quiet respect, a warm hug and sincere condolencenses to you, Michelle and Little Matilda, and Heaths grieving family. There are never enough words to express with all sincerity how sad we all are for your loss. I know I am saddened by the loss of so many wonderful things I am sure we would have seen from this precious young man in the future.
Thoughts, Prayers and many tears to all of you.

72. I feel for the entire family - what a horrific tragedy. He probably didnt get the help he needed, health wise. As for Jake - I was surprised there were no public comments, but understandably, he must be devastated. He may even blame himself for not seeing the signs that Heath needed help. Jake, Michelle, Matilda, the Ledger family have to all be devastaed and need privacy. I can see Jake doing a euligy. May Heath rest in peace!

73. i hope that you all will give him and everyone else dealing with such a loss alone.

75. I think people need to back off and give this man time to grieve and come to terms with what has just happened. How many people can say that when a loved one dies, famous or not, that they didn't grieve in their own personal way. I could careless if Jake was Bi, Gay, or Straight. That doesn't say who your friends are. Its time that you spend together and the other stuff that matters. As for the radical christian group that is planning on protesting the funeral, nowhere in the bible does it state that anyone has the right to go and pounce on anyone while they are grieving and it also says that nobody should do anything in God's name. Nor was it right for that group to basically say that God killed Heath Ledger because he played a gay guy in a film. God is not like that and he also grieves for that family's loss and the other people that were close to Heath Ledger. Those people are just trying to get attention and if I was even close to that funeral and saw them doing that, I would be one of the people to have something to say to them...They don't speak for God and they need to get a reality check...Personally I hope that its not mentioned so that this stupid radical christian group can't find out when it is. And my heart goes out to everyone affected by the loss of Heath Ledger...he was a talented and gifted soul and may he rest in peace.
