Young, Black, and Fabulous :: I Don’t Have To Make This Ish Up.: What’s Really Going On In Hollywood These Days?

  • Posted on Jan 22, 2008 by Natasha

    What’s Really Going On In Hollywood These Days?

    Reportedly the last picture of Heath (taken yesterday) by Gawker

    In non-YBF news, actor Heath Ledger has suddenly died. He was in Brokeback Mountain and also had a role in Monster’s Ball. He also recently wrapped the upcoming Batman movie where he’s playing Joker. He split from his fiance’ Michelle Williams (who’s also the mother of his little girl Matilda) last year. Sources suspect a drug overdose-but he’s never been one known for being on drugs.  This is definitely a sad and extra surprising occurrence.  R.I.P.

    UPDATE: Sources are saying he actually has had a secret drug problem in the past but has been clean for a year.  Several Ambien sleeping pills were found surrounding his body in the apartment today.

    And I see folks still haven’t learned how wack these chains are:

    Soulja Boyhit up the MTV studios this week.   Ish never changes.

      He and Michelle weren’t married. Not Mary-Kate’s apartment.

      The sad thing is - if Soulja Boy walked passed ANYONE on the streets, would anyone recognize him as a rapper, let alone “Soulja Boy”??

      He’d be just another broke negro with a chain…

      When I found out, I thought it was some joke my friends were playing, then I turned it on CNN and watched everything unfolding.
      I am very sad for Heath and his family, he was a promising actor and also such a cute guy :).
      Lets pray for him and his family in their time of need.

      this is EXTREMELY tragic!

      he was destined to be one of the great actors of our time. he was taken far far too early in life.

      i’m very upset by this news.

      it’s devastating.

      This is sad. My condolences to all. A few weeks ago he was interviewed for his role as the Joker. The man interviewing him noticed is odd behavior. He said that playing the Joker he was not able to sleep for more than 2-3 hrs per night. He was taking Ambian and other over the counter sleeping pills. I am just thinking this is a tragic accidental overdose. He was not dressed and was waiting on a massouse. Most ppl don’t kill themselves in someone elses home. With Anna Nicole we expected that and knew she wanted to be with Daniel, no suicide note needed. But with Heath this is a surprise.

      I was very sad to hear this news…Heath definately had a lot in store for him.

      I just wanted to point out that lots of people in the spotlight have addictions and other troubles that arent made kown to the public - Including some of the black entertainers, atheletes and public figures that we love. So it’s not just a “white hollywood” thing.

      And “Lace” your blatant disrespect for the dead disgusts me. You are a loser.

      Now this most definitely came outta left field…he was a damned good actor. I know Michelle must be devastated…he was very active in his kid’s life, always seen out and about with his daughter. Then again his appearance lately had been very…questionable.

      This is so sad…drugs are the devil!

      This just goes to show you that money doesn’t make you happy, here we go to work every day complaining, fussing & cussing about minor senseless things & here this was a young hollywood actor who in our eyes had it going on, no one knows what problems he was going through IF he did overdose on those pills, I think it’s real sad especially considering how young he was. My prayers go out to his family & that precious lil girl that will wonder what happened to her daddy!! I thought he was a good actor I like the majority of his movies & he was real handsome almost like a young Matthew McConahey(I know I spelled that wrong) This world is coming to an end & fast it’s a lot of people out here doing things & we will never understand why they do them but all I can do is pray & try to lead my children in the right path!!

      lol u right….and heath was NOT in MK’s apt. I don’t understand why this site and other black sites say “in non-ybf news” or “in white folk’s news…” yeah he may not be black, but he was a talented actor nonetheless who did work w/ ppl featured on this site (and others). so maybe it is relevant?

      those of you that say “its typical of white hollywood” need to realize that overdoses happen to ppl of all colors. those that say “its just another day” should know that if he were your father/brother/cousin/nephew, it would not be just another day. show respect.

Show some respect and empathy. I GUESS THE DREAM REALLY IS LOST. We can not even show respect for young man leaving this world (accident or intentional). A child has lost her father.

      What’s going on in Hollywood is what has always been going on and what will continue to be going on. No matter how many people die of overdoses, stars and regular folks will continue to use and die from drugs. I have no doubt that there are many many more stars abusing drugs that we know nothing about.

      This totally took me by suprise. Someone made a comment about how the majority of people living in this world are unsatisfied their lives, thinking that they would be better off if they gained noriety and fortune–but this is a perfect example of the world we live in today. Tommorrow isn’t promised, and it’s extremely unwise to compare your life to someone elses because we don’t know that person’s situation in life. Heath was a very talented actor, and I’m really looking forward to seeing his performance as the Joker in “The Dark Knight”. My condolences go out to his ex and his daughter.

      …oh yeah Souljah Boy sucks, and his one-hit wonder carrer is done.

      I am deeply saddened at the loss of such a talented actor as Heath Ledger. My prayers and my condolences go out to his family, especially his young daughter. He had so much more life to live. And lets remember that many people in the spotlight, whether in “white” hollywood or “black” hollywood, can’t handle the media scrutiny and sometimes seem to suffer from depression and look to other things for relief from their lifestyles. Just as Heath is gone, let us remember that we have lost some of our own in the same if not similar circumstances (RIP Pimp C), so what exactly is “typical” and for who?? It is such a tragedy, but let us respect those that are no longer with us and their families and not make ignorant statements like “…typical for white hollywood”. Hollywood is hollywood.

      Soulja Boy is a one hit wonder. He will be irrelevant by springtime. The chain, watch and the earrings are ridiculous.

      Also I don’t give a damn about that guy Souljah Boy..He is an embarrassment to my race..and BET is even worse for putting on a song that only says “Yah trick Yah”…He is a joke..When I was his age I didn’t even act like that..I have more sense..

      BTW..Yes Ike Turner died of a cocaine overdose…Drugs have no color

      Actually, Keith did have a serious drug problem in the past but he quickly recoverd before it got out of hand. Then a year after his daughter was born, I heard he got back into it real hard.. and not pills.. COCAINE!! If you are not balanced before you hit it big in HOLLYWOOD it will F8ck you up!!

      RIP Heath.. he was a great actor with so much ahead of him.

      SO so sad…I saw that interview where Heath talked about being so so tired and the toll the Joker had on him…I also heard he was a little unwell with pneumonia…I think this was accidental….

      Still sad. And respect needs to be paid here. I am deeply angered when i read some of the comments…What has this world come to?

      I’m deepley saddened by Heath’s tragic death. Situations like this remind you that tomorrow is never promised and that life is indeed a precious gift not to be taken for granted.

      I loved the movie “Brokeback Mountain” and I loved the role that Heath played. What is important to remember is that he had a chance to touch millions with his acting capabilities and he lived out his dreams of being a successful actor.

      God Bless the Dead.

I hope his daughter and wife and the rest of his family are doing ok. I mean the media is not giving them an inch either they are everywhere I know that makes things worse…

      Also Natasha, I know Heath is non-YBF but could we throw in a little sympathy maybe?

      I totally agree. It was so tacky for you to report the story like that. “In non YBF news…” Just Why?

      Natasha–
      Now that it is clear many of the early reports about the circumstances of Heath Ledger’s death were completely false, I hope you will correct your post. He was not found with pills around his body and the cause of his death will not be known until the autopsy report is complete. This is a gossip site and I love to read your posts, but this young man had a family as well as fans and it’s kind of disgusting to read all these false stories. It is surely causing his family more pain.

      I was just going to make a comment about the picture that was chosen. That picture is from the Batman set (that’s why his hair’s all scraggly and he looks messy). He was generally a very well-groomed man.

      Sometimes gossip sites can be just a tad insensitive, eh?

      The sad thing is - if Soulja Boy walked passed ANYONE on the streets, would anyone recognize him as a rapper, let alone “Soulja Boy”??

      He’d be just another broke negro with a chain…

      I was sitting here wondering “…tha hell is that?” I had no idea who he was. I finally inferred that it was Souljaboy because of that stupid “Superman” chain.
