Heath Ledger Remembered

Over 300 family members and friends attended a 2-hour tribute to celebrate the life of Heath Ledger today in Australia. Heath's 2-year-old daughter made an appearance in a video montage, which included a song written by Ben Harper just for Matilda, called "Happily Ever After in Your Eyes."

Close family members later traveled to a small chapel where an emotional Michelle Williams paid tribute to the father of her child and read Shakespeare's Sonnet 18, "Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?" The family then joined fellow mourners at a restaurant on the beach. According to People, the actor's remains were cremated later in the day.

Ashlee Simpson Hearts Romo


Ashlee Simpson Jessica Simpson may need to keep an eye on her little sis. Ashlee says Tony Romo, Jessica's latest boytoy, is "really cool" and that she "loves him."

The face-changing poptart gushed that the Dallas Cowboys QB makes her big sister "absolutely happy" (Via Us). The Love doesn't stop with Ashlee; boyfriend Pete Wentz has a man crush on the Cowboy, calling him a "cool dude."

Way to man up.

Boston Squashes the Little People


Earlier this week, oompa loompas from Beacher's Madhouse performed in Boston at an event for Playboy's new energy drink. Everyone was having a good time until police crashed the party and threatened to arrest Beacher because he was breaking a law that prohibits the promotion of albinos and little people, according to the General Laws of Massachusetts.

Police left with a warning, but the little people are outraged, and Beacher says he will "orchestrate the largest little person protest and performance" with 1,000+ little people set to hit the streets of Boston next month.


Party Favors: Is Hayden an Obama Girl? ... Hillary Clinton not Pimpin' ... David Beckham has a 25-Foot Package


Hayden Panettiere really loves whales and expects Hillary and Barack to work hard for her vote, according to Us. She already got a call from Obama about what he would do to save the whales and is waiting on Hills. ...

The host has since apologized and been suspended (via NY Post) ... Soccer dude, David Beckham, proves his assets sell. Since filling up the Armani briefs for a new ad campaign, sales have risen 150% in one London department store (via Showbizspy).

8. "'Pimping out' your kid" is part of popular culture slang. When you put your child to work for you because she looks good working for you, you're pimping them out. re:Dina Lohan, Joe Simpson, Lynne Spears, Larry Burkhead's use of Dannilynn. Hillary DID 'pimp out' Chelsea. While not the best idea to use on a cable news channel, he is correct in context. Suspension to please the Clintons, but surely not a fireable offense.

True. BUT, not every candidate campaigning has their daughter making phone calls and speaking. Photo-ops and meet-and-greets certainly, but not actual campaign work. Putting Chelsea out there, and WORKING HER out there are two very different things. BTW, it should be "chastened" and "biased".

10. no its not part of popular culture,,,it is accepted,,,nothing is taboo anymore,10 years ago there would be an uproar over using such phrase,,,were talking about a prominent respected senator's daughter,,,not some wannabe actress/lipsyncer but in actuality wants to be a pole dancer....

Posted at 10:03AM on Feb 9th 2008 by RoughDaddy

11. wrong,,,maybe they are getting chealsea familiar with being a public servant....

12. The chelsea story. Give me a break! The clintons are pimps! Hillary needs to realize that she is not the it candidate and to use your child to labor for you is just as bad, if not worse than pimping your child in the red light district of thailand. Then you cry because some reporter had the balls to see it for what it was and now you do not want to debate obama because msnbc is the sponsor. Go republicans!

13. An "accepted" term IS part of culture. If it wasn't, it wouldn't be "accepted", now would it? If so, by whom? The very culture you say it's not accepted by? Yes, there are things that are taboo, which is why Don Imus and Isaiah Washington were fired, deservedly so. Indeed, choosing that phrase to describe Senator and Former President Clinton's daughter's activities within her mother's campaign was a stupid thing to do. But, he was not using that phrase to disparage Chelsea, or imply anything towards her. He was merely observing Hillary was not above using Chelsea to make phone calls and speeches to garner votes for her. It's precisely BECAUSE she's not a wannabe popstar or starlet that brought attention to it at all. He was using it as an example of Hillary pulling out all the stops in her campaign.

Ha! In your dreams, pal, they are not grooming her for her political future, Chelsea has made it abundantly clear numerous times she has no political ambitions. She will help with "causes", but not a political office.

15. Ben Harper did not write that song for Matilda. He wrote the song in 2005 in hopes it would be the "Ultimate Wedding Song."
