Mourning in Brooklyn

Michelle Williams' friends and family were in Brooklyn yesterday to comfort her.


Her mother, Carla, arrived to Williams' Brooklyn residence early in the morning, joined later by Busy Philipps, Williams' co-star on "Dawson's Creek" and godmother of Michelle and Heath Ledger's daughter Matilda. "Felicity" star Keri Russell, a neighbor and friend, walked by the house, but didn't stop in.

Williams arrived with Matilda Wednesday evening after flying back from Sweden.

16. #3 ---- Bijou and Busy Phillips are two different people. Busy Phillips starred in Dawson's Creek and was godmother to Matilda. I don't even know if Bijou knows Heath Ledger.

Interstingly enough, Busy Phillips worked with Michelle Williams and was good friends with Heath Ledger (and of course, god mother to matilda) AND she co-starred with "Mummy an' the Armadillo" with BRAD RENFRO!

I am sure Busy Phillips is having a terrible time of this.

17. Loved the woman shouting for the paps to leave them alone! Bravo to who ever it was.

Why don't you guys go follow Britney instead? I'm sure it's only a matter of time before she does another stupid thing.

18. TMZ- I find it absolutly sickning that you are following the Williams/Ledger family around like animals!
Leave them alone---- do you not have ANY respect!!!! Your ethics in journalism is a far cry from respect. I don't think I want to read your site again- after this...

19. I think you should leave them alone also! I am glad to see that you took the live steam of the funeral home off from this morning! Don't get me wrong I do love TMZ but that is just LOW!! Photographing people that are greiving the loss of someone very dear to them!!!!!! That is just wrong!!

Oh btw...her name is Busy Phillips....if you watched Dawson Creek at all you would know that is her correct name!

20. I totally agree...They are getting ready to bury someone that meant something to them and what is going on is disrespectful and beyond tacky. Let them grieve and be allowed to bury Heath Ledger in peace...

21. So TMZ posts the statement from the Ledger family about respecting privacy during a terrible time, and then they stalk the mourners. You may get extra traffic on your website right now, but ultimately you are shooting yourself in the foot because you are alienating people with your heartlessness. Not only that but you posted all sorts of falsehoods regarding Ledger's death because you were too eager to be the first to report. You've made huge asses of yourselves.

22. It is one thing to take pictures but to ask them questions on how they feel, that is LOW!!! Just take the pictures TMZ, don't ask them questions!

23. Don't tell me you people actually thought TMZ would ever show class. Do they have any talent other than throwing out one liners. They don't do their homework half as well as they like to portray and also just present the same dubious stories over and over.

they only care about the clicks. the advertisment per internet viewers

24. I think that it is one thing to follow Bittney around all the time, she is a ditsy person. I just think when someone so young dies unexpectedly you should respect their family. You need to draw the line when there is little children involved that dont even understand what is going on. Leave Michelle and poor little Matilda to grieve in as much peace as possible. Follow the other celebrities around.

27. THIS IS A CELEBRITY GOSSIP AND RUMOR PAGE. IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR SOMETHING MORAL AND ACCEPTABLE THIS IS THE WRONG BOARD FOR YOU. GO AWAY ALL YOU "LEAVE THE FAMILY ALONE" LOSERS!

28. LET THEM BE.

They didnt ask for this & they dont want the attention. It's sad. They cant hide inside forever. Leave the place alone -- Heath hated all the paparazzi and for good reason.

Classless idiots.

Go chase around the idiotic media whores in LA that actually want this kind of attention.

29. No here's the thing...it's one thing to follow around vapid, empty headed "celebrities" who crave, or are just too stupid to stay away from the attention. It's quite another thing to stalk and taunt numb, grieving family and friends of Heath Ledger. Crossed the line there, and what a shame there's no accountability for it.

30. I agree with the above mentioned, except for the @@@ who is putting down ALL JEWS. Don't broad brush, @@@ hole...
I thought Heath and Michelle were married, but all I see is she was the "mother of Heath's child" and "former girlfriend." What gives...
