If Brad Renfro wasn't enough of a wakeup for young Hollywood...maybe this will be...

My youngest sister made this comment to me via text right now, "Wow. I can't believe he went before Britney."


Frankly and brutally speaking, Brad Renfro was not a big enough name to make that much of an impact on young Hollywood. Heath Ledger on the other hand, HUGE name. I really hope this becomes a wake-up call for Lindsey, Paris, Britney, and all those other trainwrecks in the wings.

When I first heard the news, it was on some AM radio broadcast, ran by a bunch of old boneheads. I thought that they some how got the name wrong, and they were really talking about Brad.

I just saw this!!!
 

I AM FLOORED:eek:.

I was looking at the newest trailer for Batman. I was thinking, "man this is going to be good". This is so sad!

One of the guys on my floor came by and said "news flash for the day. heath ledger is dead" and left (i guess he stopped by every room. lol. silly)
and i thought it was one of those rumors, like jon heder's death or mara wilson's death. So i looked it up. and it was true. Wow. I hate it when young people die.

Someone just said he died in Mary Kate or Ashleys apt. What the hay?

That is just a rumor. He did not die in an apartment owned by or connected to the Olsen twins.

Good, that would just be too strange.

Is it really necessary for TMZ to be streaming live video of his apartment waiting for his body to be removed? Jeez.

I saw it first on TMZ - and I know they like to make sensational headlines out of nothing...so I thought maybe he died in his new movie or something like that. I was shocked to click on the article and he really did die.

TMZ is also reporting the Mary Kate thing.

It's scary that Perez Hilton is doing more subtle and not as sensational reporting of this than TMZ. Perez Hilton is usually the more sensational of the 2 media outlets.

I think Mary Kate owns the building, rather than the apartment, but I'm not 100%.

in total disbelief
 

When I first read the news on AOL.com, I thought that it was a joke. But then I log onto my city's newspaper and is the leading headline.

What a talent, what a face...and so freaking young (only a year older than myself)...


RIP

I just saw TMZ's footage of authorities removing his body from the building.

DAMN.

ok, wow. :(

I was surprised that he was only 28!

So, so sad.
