77. I don't get why people are upset? people are made to love more than just one person in life. They had been over before he died. She can't just shut her life off becasue the fateer of her child isn't alive anymore especially when they weren't an item anymore

78. I agree w/ Maisy....How do you accidently OD anyways?? Anyone in their right mind should know not to mix pills & Alcohol. Heath was a great actor & was actually one of my favorites. Michelle does need to move on. It is sad that her baby's daddy is dead now & it still is a tragedy.

79. I think it is ridiculous that people are upset that she is moving on with her life. She and Heath were not together when he died and he was seeing other people at that time, so why is it a sin for her to see someone now? She has to move on with her life... she has to give her daughter the best life that she can. She can't spiral out of control and into depression the way it seems some of you would lke to see her do. She has to be strong for her daughter and that strength serves to help her move on with her head held high.

80. First of all.. who really CARES about the hollywood people anyway?!? i mean, what have they done to improve YOUR life.. and why should we even CARE to begin with?!? and not for nothing.. she wasnt engaged to ledger anymore when he died, so why SHOULDNT she see someone else? its not like her whole world revolved around him anyway. and to say that he died of an "accidental drug overdose" is a load of crap... if you got 15 pills in your hand, and 6 of them are for anxiety and 9 are for depression.. youd pretty much think that youd KNOW mixing them was gonna kill you. theres no such thing as an "ACCIDENTAL OVERDOSE".. its just the person taking them is a moron and either A) didnt read the label or B) didnt care one way or another. to compare ledger to james dean (a TRUE fricikin' hollywood legend by the way) by saying "we'll never know how great an actor he coudl have been" is a FARCE! james dean, in the THREE movies he made.. showed a greater depth and range of acting ability than ledger could have EVER hoped to attain..even if he lived to be a thousand! ledger was a MEDIOCRE actor at best and nothing more, no matter what anyone says

81. Good for her. I'm sure Heath would've wanted her to move on and be happy. Especially considering how she's taking care of Matilda. Michelle's happiness increases the likelihood that Matilda will be happy too.

82. Hmm...I just noticed the vague reference to Heath Ledger in the article's title.

83. Is she dating big Al Sharpton?

84. Leave her alone... She deserves to be happy, and Heath would want her to be too. Just b/c they r walking 2gether doesnt mean they are dating! thats crazy.

85. I bet it wasn't an "accidental" overdose. the dude was prolly heartbroken since mizz Michelle broke it off. poor Heath. =(

86. I adored Heath Ledger. He was my fav actor and had been for the past 10 years, but I don't see anything wrong with Michelle Williams dating someone else...no matter who it is. She'd already severed their relationship before his death anyway, so she's done no harm.
As for those that slam Heath, the baby or any of the others...grow up. Heath DIDN'T kill himself. He was desperate to get some sleep and peace of mind and accidentally took too many PRESCRIBED drugs. Check your facts. The kid is perfectly normal and Williams seems relatively normal and should be left alone.

87. Michelle deserves to be happy. She probably broke up with Heath to protect herself and their child, once she saw the destructive path was headed down. Even though it was tragic how Heath died, she probably got some sort of closure. She might be taking things slow but all in all, she deserves to be happy. She wasn't the one using drugs and why should she suffer for that?

88. Hey she left heath ledger...and for good reason...who wants to live with a drug addict? She made a wise decision--look where he ended up at acouple months later.....there is some people who just choose to be miserable and choose to self destruct themselves...that was heath...good for her she has found someone new and hopefully someone who "enjoys" life and doesn't have to take drugs just to get thru the day.

89. First I want to correct what person number 4 had commented on. Heeath did overdose on perscription medication, but it was accidental. What kind of doctor gives out that many medications to someone, regardless if they're famous or not. That's his doctor's fault for not looking at the perscribed medications and how they would interact with others he was taking. Serioiusly. Second, if you knew how dark the joker is, you would understand what Heath was going through. He was an incredible actor who always dug deep into his roles and gave all of himself to those roles. Third, Heath was a stable father figure. Look it up. He loved his daughter more than anything else. Infact a week before he died, he went out on a shopping spree to recreate the room she had at her mother's. He spent a lot of money and put in a great deal of time and effort to make sure his daughter was happy. Lastly, if Michelle is seeing Sike Jonze, that's her business. Who are we to tell her what to do with her life? I'm sure she'll be able to have relationships after Heath, but it's Heath who will forver be in her heart.

90. Just because Michelle and Heath were split doesn't mean her heart wasn't ripped out the day Heath Left. Cant you see the way she looked at him? In the pics of them together she was ALWAYS looking up at him with this admiration in her eyes. She is very talented in her own right...Heath and Michelle had very similar childhoods. Both left home @ 15 to pursue acting.. They are very vunerable people. Heath was so generous and humble. Others in his shoes would have acted snoby and better than others. In our society we see it everyday. Like Paris Hilton {she is very troubled} Heath will be cherished and remembered 4 the way he treated others and the raw senitivity he possessed Heath was brilliant. Michelle should cont, with her Life But Heath wil 4ever be the LOVE OF HER LIFE. Good Luck to Michelle and Matilda...RIP Sweet Heath
