Heath's Rumored Flame "Devastated"

Supermodel Helena Christensen was literally on her way to visit Heath Ledger on the day he died when she got the news of his passing.


TMZ spotted Helena -- who had been romantically linked with Heath -- returning to her home in Manhattan yesterday, and you can tell from the video she's broken up.

61. TMZ, feel free to treat her as pap-bait. She blabbed about her "supposed" message on Heath's answering machine, so she deserves to be hounded by the press.
Her claim to fame on the coattails of this relationship is whorish
Besides, I think it's a piece of crap -- Heath was romantically linked to Gemma Ward
Helena was probably just stalking him
Something you paps would know all about.

Don't forget what I said in my other blog TMZ...
ANY coverage of the funeral or pursuing the family
AND I'M OFF THIS SITE FOR A MONTH
and who knows, after a month, maybe my celebrity addiction will be cured and I won't be back

62. Wow, I'm not a fan of this woman, but the hate comments are astounding. With as many leaks as there are, everyone who left him messages in that last day are being interviewed. She didn't insert herself in this story if she's just confirming what happened--a friend leaving a voicemail.

And how was dating the lead singer of INXS a few years before he died (he'd had a child with another woman by then) making her someone "surrounded by tragedy"?

64. There was reports and pictures of him and his model girlfriend Gemma Ward over Christmas holiday. Maybe she was close to him but not that close. I mean there is too little time frame there to be any romance. Sophie Ward did a interview about Health and how stress he was over Christmas. The web sight is Reuters.com

65. Helena is dating Paul Banks, lead singer of Interpol. She had an off-and-on-and-off fling with Heath, as she does with many other guys. But, "officially" she is currently Paul Banks' girlfriend.

66. I wonder if she was heading to his place to confront the "masseuse" who would have been there when she arrived.

68. She needs to get out of the light. His death is not her time to shine. Who is she anyways!! Let Michelle, his daughter and family have all our thoughts and prayers. She is just trying to get her name and fame from his death, How sick

69.
she looks tore up from grief and drugs, same as Mary Kate looks and anyone else looks who drew close to him instead of away trying to pull him out .

70. ummm. Ever since I read what Helean said about having just called him, going over to see him right at that moment he died, I am VERY SKEPTICAL that she is telling the truth. Just a gut reaction.

71. Hello ignorant people, Helena is not washed up nor seeking fame, she is famous in her own right. One of the first supermodels of the early 90's, shop owner, philanthropist, and photographer. She was not with Michael Hutchence when he committed suicide, he was with Paula Yates for over a year when that tragedy happened; it had nothing to do with her. She was also not dating Heath, she was good friends with him. Helena is unfortunately linked with alot of famous celebrities because she runs in the same circles in New York City.

72. Helena is beautiful, haven't you ever seen the Chris Isaak Wicked Game video? She is aging gracefully, without all the plastic surgery like most celebs today. If there is any doubt, check it out for yourself in the October 2007 GQ issue, http://www.hotcelebshome.com/helena-christensen-gq-magazine-october-2007/ She's still got it. Someone also made a comment about her using drugs, sorry, but while she has admitted to using cannabis she has never used hard drugs. The girl can handle her liquor though, it's her Viking blood. People need to leave all their slanderous comments out and focus their energies elsewhere, do something positive for the world.

73. So Heath was "romantically linked" to Helena, Gemma Ward, and Mary-Kate Olsen.

74. Helena dated another Australian, Michael Hutchence of INXS, who would have had a birthdaty on January 22, the day Heath died. Pretty weird. Hutchence committed suicide 10 years ago while on Prozac for depression as Heath was. Both were separated from their young daughters because of relationship problems.

75. Helena is a wonderful and beautiful woman and it's very sad that lost a close friend.
