Lets Get This Party Started
Heath May Have Died Sometime After 1:00 PM

Posted Jan 24th 2008 6:56AM by TMZ Staff

Heath Ledger may have died between 1:00 PM and 2:45 PM on Tuesday, according to a new timeline constructed by police.

Ledger, according to the AP, was observed "snoring" by his maid, who came into his room to change a light bulb. She left the room, and subsequently let the massage therapist into the apartment. The masseuse, Diane Wolozin, then found Ledger at 2:45 PM, and he was unconscious.

Wolozin, say reports, then called actress Mary-Kate Olsen, because she knew Olsen to be a friend of Ledger's.


Eddie Murphy Wanted Mama on Honeymoon

Why the sudden breakup between Eddie Murphy and Tracey Edmonds? Well, for one thing, reports the New York Post, Eddie wanted his mom to go on the honeymoon. That would be a deal-breaker for us too.

What's more, a source says that Eddie became "like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde ... He started screaming at her and grabbed her. She was scared." And thus the pair scrapped plans for a Bora Bora wedding at the very last minute, saying that they "have decided to remain friends."

Murphy's rep said, "We won't comment any further on this."

31. It sounds like Eddie has been hanging with Crazy Britney!

32. Re Heath Ledger

How many housekeepers of these stars enter their bedroom when they are sleeping to exchange a "light bulb" and, particularly, a male?

33. Well, at least Ed didn't want to bring along any transexuals or transvestites or whatever the hell he's into.

34. What disrespectful moron chose to put an update of Heath Ledger's death under the heading of "Let's Get This Party Started"? That's disgraceful!
Eddie Murphy has a reputation for being mean and nasty. He was also married to an incredibly beautiful woman with whom I believe he had five children, however he was still out picking up transvestites in the middle of the night. It's a shame because I really do like most of his movies, he is a funny man but far too full of himself.
I am sick to death of catchphrases like carbon footprint and of people who complain about suvs. This distracts people from the reality of our planet in crisis. Idiots who claim that global warming doesn't exist are living in a dreamworld and it's dangerous to keep denying where we're headed. That said, it's these groups that come up with these silly phrases that give ignorant morons like poster #9 an excuse to laugh it off. Groups like Greenpeace, treehuggers and PETA disgust people so much with their tactics that they refuse to believe there is any validity to the issues.
As for this elaboratehoax theory, to what end? What possible reason could anyone have for pretending global warming is indeed reality. Scientists from around the entire world involved in a big conspiracy are they? Wow, you should write a movie, you could have Oliver Stone direct it.

35. At least Heath wasn't found on the hopper, like Elvis.

36. Like we didn't already know he's a MF.

37. Do people have something to hide by not calling 911? Why would the police consider this "normal" behavior? Whether I thought somebody was dying or already deceased, I would call 911 for "immediate" assistance (no question in my mind as it requires less "thinking" and less "time" to get the emergency help). How and where do these stars hire the people who have "closest access" to them, i.e. housekeepers, cooks, bodyguards?

38. I see that alot of people replied to what I mentioned earlier and I see that alot of people had experience with someone being sick and the sleeping pills. I think the FDA really needs to take a closer look at the affects of the sleeping pills when someone is sick or if they already have the docs really need to heavily express the dangers to the patient. I see that someone posted that their mother was actually breathing carbon dioxide in which is a silent killer. When we exhale we release carbon dioxide so that could be a possiblity these two actors might have actually been struggling to breath and not actually snoring. Also when you are sick these sleeping pills might actually make you have sleep apnea. Really scary thing. And sad to see that this is probably what happened and reporters are reporting it as if he overdosed really sad.

39. If you have the kind of money that Rush pulls in every year you can score a 31 year old blond all day long. Big money makes any man look good. Just ask Allen Greenspan -- one fugly looking dude who is married to a CBS network news babe. I'm surprised TMZ didn;t post the picture of her from the West Plam Beach newspaper -- she is stunning!

40. Yes, the mama on the honeymoon would be a deal-breaker for me, lol. I love mama's, but would send her home after the wedding with a nice gift basket or off on a senior's cruise and tell her we'd see her in a few weeks.

41. Ha Ha.......Eddie, you so crazy! No, seriously you crazy!

42. This is a tad off topic, but I watched a movie last night called The Lookout, with Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and he looks so much like Heath Ledger, it was uncanny.

43. #42 - Joseph Gordon-Levitt was in 10 Things I Hate About You with Heath Ledger. He's been around for quite awhile - was in the sitcom 3rd Rock From the Sun...

44. Thanks ME, didn't realize they worked together, he's a great actor
