“The Untold Story” Which Isn’t Really

Heath LedgerJust got the new Entertainment Weekly in the mail and was pleasantly surprised to see that Heath Ledger was on the cover. Unfortunately, the story itself didn’t seem to shed any new light on his tragic end, nor was it, as claimed, “The Untold Story”.

Particularly distasteful in my opinion was a comment by cinematographer Nicola Pecorini. The article hints that Ledger’s pill-taking (and subsequent death) were the result of sleeping problems. Pecorini chimes in that these sleeping problems were solely the result of his separation from Michelle Williams and their child Matilda. Put two and two together, and you have Pecorini blaming Williams for the death  of Ledger. Even if this is true, that’s a pretty low thing to say in print. There’s sort of an unspoken rule about that kind of thing.

The lastest Entertainment Weekly also disses the new episode of Burn Notice, to which I was looking forward after a several month long hiatus. Thanks for that…
