I am beyond disgusted with TMZ.

You would think they'd have more class about someone's passing.

They have a video of them asking L. Lohan "Did you hear Heath is dead??" I mean who says that.

Profession or not, have some class and show respect.

I am heartbroken.

i still cant believe it. im like an addict checkin to see for any updates on the various blogs i read

i just cant believe it!! IM SOOO SAD!!
i am so sad for little matilda...best wishes for her!!

I was absolutely shocked & heartbroken when I heard the news. He was a talented actor and seemed like such a genuine person. My heart goes out to Michelle & Matilda.

Are you serious, Aimee? They actually said, Did you hear Heath is dead?
I am not the biggest Heath Ledger fan, but, he was so talented and seemed like such a good father....I can't help but be really affected by this. It's just so depressing.

This really makes me sad I still can't believe it. Brad Renfro & now Heath

I'm still quite shocked by his death. Although he tended to look/act a mess, he was a serious talent in an industry that is lacking in that regard. I hate to say it, but there are some people that I would not feel so bad about if they were found dead in their apartment.

why heath why... , I know what you mean aimeeb.

yeah, just doesn't make sense really and truly shocking. What a loss for family and fans.
Wish tmz and all the other media outlets would lay off a bit, though.
I am as curious as the next person, but it just gets to be too much -heart wrenching really.

that TMZ and some others are disgusting, truly!!

Who cares if L Lo knows? Why does TMZ do that crap? Ugh

So sad.

JennaV I am. It was so sick.

They also have a video on their site of his body being carried out.

Jesus, I'm just relieved to hear that Michelle Wiliams does know and won't have to find out from a bunch of papparazzi at the airport. I really hope those guys show her some respect. I'm still reeling that there was a live video stream of his body being removed from the appartment. I think that's pretty disgraceful, especially given how he felt about the paparrazi.

RobinFabulous according to many media outlets they were close friends and even rumored to of dated briefly.

aimeeb, they aren't the only one who has an image of that..stop hating just on tmz...

and apperently if you actually read the story with the video her and heath were friends so yeah thats why they asked her. its not like they went to a rando celeb and asked

ok wait i didn't mean you, yourself. i mean in general haha. im sorry that came out wrong and then it posted b4 i can take it back

I agree with you all the way aimeeb.

I don't even know why I'm so shocked because I think it's been coming for a long time, but the paparrazi sites have finally crossed a line with their reporting of this.

Kiki tee I'm with you. Anyone else recall the time the paps squirted him with water guns after the spitting incident?

I'm still in shock it's so sad

Lilwildone, if he was a friend of LiLo, don't you think that's even worse? Would you like to be approached by a bunch of strangers with cameras aking if you know that your friend just died?

im still shock

i thought he was a good actor... is so sad

i still cannot believe this has happened.

lilwildone1202 I did read the caption with the video, that's why I thought it was so cruel.

Your friend passes and some complete stranger with a camera in your face says that, that's evil.

And I'm sure other sites have it, but it seems TMZ is one of the biggest one leaking just about everything and then having to take it back. I mean c'mon...

kiki, understand where youre coming from. im not pulling for tmz. just playing devils advocate.

but celebrites are asked about random things from guys in cameras all the time. its like when news reporters come to a murder victims house and ask questions. just bc she's a celebrity doesnt mean that she gets special treatment that she shouldnt get asked how she feels.

i dont want to start a fight just giving my opinion/playing a little devils advocate.

Yeah aimee, I think he really hated them with a passion, and they obviously enjoyed taunting him and getting a rise out of him. I mean, I don't know, I obviously wouldn't be on here if I didn't enjoy celeb gossip as much as the next person, but you can get the gossip without harassing people who clearly don't want to be harassed. I'm just so shocked and disgusted to have seen a body bag. It's just really stepped over the line. Really!

Obviously tact and respect is a thing of the past in the age of paparazzi. You're going to go up to someone whose close friend just died and say "Hey! Your friend died, any comment?" I don't particularly care for Lindsay, but that is just inappropriate in any circumstance. Just because people are celebrities doesn't meant they don't deserve their chance to mourn (or die, for that matter!) in private.

The pap are just sick and disgusting creatures.

RIP Heath and I feel for his little girl.

o my god! i am still in denial, shock that this has happened to him. it's unbelievable!

rest in peace.

Still, who cares? Does a quote from any other celeb make it sadder, or more shocking? No.... They're just using it to add to the reports....... "When told of the new ex girlfriend so & so broke into tears." It's just so much more disrespectful.

Not only that but she's a douche... Her opinion doesn't matter for crap. No one cares what she thinks...

lilwildone1202 I've been that person to have a news camera in your face after a close friend has passed.

AND...

I get their whole "job" and their need to be the one with the "story" but if you HAVE to ask there is a much better way than that. I mean give me a break, she obviously knew already.

**news, not new

Kiki tee I'm with you. If it were their family member they wouldn't want that.

I'm still in shock over this.There have only been a few celebrity deaths that really hit me and this one of them.I didn't know him but for some reason it is still really sad to me and I even cried.I just hope Matilda and Michelle are going to be okay.

I see where you're coming from Lilwildone, but it's just not some random thing. I can't stand LL, and I think she's one of those celebs who loves the attention from the paps, but even still this is not just the usual "Hey Lindsay, we love you, where are you going today?", this is "Hey Lindsay, did you know Heath died?". And you know as well as I do that they're hoping she doesn't know, because the better her reaction the more money they get for their sleazy little tape.

well we'll agree to disagree. not worth discussing something that has really nothing to do with my personal life

but anyhoo- he is an actor whos life was taken too soon. i want to go watch ten things i hate about you now

i am so devastated. his death is hitting everybody so hard and it's beyond tragic. i miss him already. i just wish the paparazzi would back off and give him and his loved ones privacy. have some respect

I agree winterbride, and Lilwildflower, you're right. this doesn't affect me any more than it does you. A young, talented man with a great career and a beautiful baby and his whole life ahead of him died. It doesn't get sadder than that, no matter what kind of circus the media try to make out of it...

Many sites have sunk to new lows. Seems Pop is the only place to comment where people are being civil and aren't making rude comments. I can't believe some of the things I've read elsewhere. No respect what so ever.

I feel for Michelle. I can't imagine what she's going through if she found out on a plane. I'm glad his family spoke up. How hard is must be for them to hear all teh rumors made by people who don't even know Heath!

I still can't believe it. I've been going from site to site, but I have to stop. It's crazy and sad how the internet makes everything so accessible. My thoughts are with his family and precious daughter who won't be able to understand why her daddy is no longer here.

sorry for the double post. I swear I only hit it once! Clearly, it's time to step away from the computer.
