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."

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.

16. 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.

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

19. that phrase is definitely offensive whether we accepted or not and she should use that to garner some votes...chealsea should be front and center for her parents she seems like a very capable young woman...as for the "anchor" they should never adlib, thats not what they went to journalism school for...but i dont think he should lose his job, like creep keeper Don...
