Dear Michelle...

You're rich. The kid needs to feel good about herself too. How about you get her hair fixed? Just a friendly suggestion...

Williams Moves On

Michelle Williams appears to have moved on from the death of Heath Ledger. The actress has been spotted around New York with director Spike Jonze, who was once married to director Sofia Coppola. "Michelle kissed Spike with a closed mouth on the corner of his lips," said one person who saw them together. "There was definitely a bit of caressing going on. She was clutching his arm. The body language was very romantic."

Great. Fantastic for Michelle. I'm sure Spike will be good with the kid. Too bad I find both of them boring. Sorry, not a Spike Jonze fan. I've never cared for high-concept jacking-off and muddy lighting. And Williams was overrated in Brokeback.

Michelle Williams Does NOT Want Her Picture Taken

Michelle Williams throws the paps a withering glare. Honestly guys...Heath Ledger is dead. So, there's really no reason for anyone to care about Michelle Williams anymore.

"Didn't we cremate you?"

Michelle Williams Speaks

Michelle Williams has issued a public statement for the first time since the death of ex-fiance Heath Ledger:

“Please respect our need to grieve privately. My heart is broken," reads the statement.

"I am the mother of the most tender-hearted, high-spirited, beautiful little girl who is the spitting image of her father.

"All that I can cling to is his presence inside her that reveals itself every day. His family and I watch Matilda as she whispers to trees, hugs animals, and takes steps two at a time, and we know that he is with us still. She will be brought up with the best memories of him."

The Crabster almost teared up over that one.

You may now proceed to rip Michelle to pieces since I know all you meanies hate her and think she's a bitch. I however will remain above the fray, as usual.

Michelle Williams Wanted Sole Custody Of Matilda

More details are coming out about what a mess Heath Ledger's life was in the months leading up to his death. The latest revelation: Ledger believed his ex-fiancee Michelle Williams was set to seek sole custody of their daughter Matilda, on the grounds that Heath's drug-taking made him a bad influence.

The dirt comes from Rebecca White, an alleged member of Ledger's "inner-circle." White told the Daily Mail:

Heath believed Michelle was going for sole custody.

She wanted nothing to do with him and many of his friends believed that in the last couple of weeks that really pushed him over the edge. He was getting more reckless than ever with cocaine and heroin.

His use of downers - sleeping pills and anti-anxiety pills and antidepressants- was also getting heavier because he needed them to sleep.

Heath was a very shy, insecure man. But in celebrity circles you need something to ground you, and for him that was being a father and the idea that Michelle might still take him back and they might still be a family.

Even though he was seeing other women, there was one side of him that still wanted their relationship to work. But there was also the side that depended on drugs because he felt like a fish out of the water.

He was not the type to have killed himself. The way I hear it, he went out the night before, he was doing cocaine, he wasn't able to sleep, and the investigators think he woke up, didn't remember taking sleeping pills and then took what accidentally was an overdose.

White says the Ledger/Williams relationship was a disaster waiting to happen from the beginning:

It was this movie-set romance and Michelle got unexpectedly pregnant. It absolutely would not have lasted if she hadn't.

He was still seeing other women. Heath was an Adonis and she was dowdy and not in his league - careerwise or looks-wise - and no one could understand why they got together. I knew Heath used drugs because the first time I met him, at Puff Daddy's house in Los Angeles, Heath asked Naomi [Campbell] for cocaine. At another party in Paris, Heath took at least six Ecstasy pills, popped them in his mouth all at once and swigged them with a bottle of champagne.

He was a partygoer and Michelle was quite straight. But when she got pregnant, Michelle was determined to have the baby. Heath wanted to do the right thing and stick by her.

Ledger's lifestyle finally got to be too much for the teetotaling Michelle:

Michelle kicked Heath out because he would be showing up all hours of the night with this band of hangers-on and doing drugs.

Michelle started to talk about going for sole custody. She wanted to be responsible 100 per cent.

She felt he couldn't be responsible for the baby because he wasn't responsible for himself.

He got deeper and deeper into drugs as his fears of losing Matilda increased.

Heath was at least as messed-up as Pete Doherty it sounds like. The difference being that Heath managed to keep his excesses mostly private, while people like Doherty seem to deliberately make a public nuisance of themselves. Still, it has not been proven that Ledger died of a drug overdose. The latest is that his death may have been from natural causes. What "natural causes" means when you're already a drug addict who sleeps 2 hours a night is hazy at best. Maybe he had a weakened heart and didn't die directly from the sleeping pills...but what caused the weakened heart? There was nothing natural about that guy's death, I don't care what anyone says.

By the way...Michelle Williams is "dowdy?" I think she's quite beautiful. That Rebecca White chick needs glasses.

Ledger's Bleak Last Months

Heath Ledger was not a happy man during the last months of his life.

"[Heath] had a stint in rehab late last year when he was treated for heroin," a source told the Daily Mail.

"Heath was shattered by his split from [wife] Michelle [Williams]. He became a recluse. He barely slept he was dealing with terrible mood swings."

"Heath totally wanted to be on his own these past few months since he and Michelle split in September," said another source. "She was very much in love with him, but the fact he continued to dabble in drugs kept their relationship from being one she could rely on.

"He adored his daughter Matilda, and when Michelle called it quits, he missed Matilda so much that he was thrown into a deep dark depression.

"Heath was living in New York to be close to his daughter. But he hardly ever ventured out anymore.

"His close friend and Brokeback Mountain co-star, Jake Gyllenhaal has been worried about him for months. And he knew Heath was sinking further into a depression. Jake is Matilda's godfather, and he and Heath had become really close since they did the film Brokeback together.

"Jake wanted Heath to get help, but he refused, and now it looks as though he may have died of a drug overdose.

"Michelle will be devastated by the news, because she always hoped he would get help and they could manage to work out their relationship for the sake of their daughter."

A source describes Ledger's disheveled appearance at a party last September:

"It looked as if he was if he was trying to make some kind of point. He drifted around the party not talking to anyone for half an hour and then just walked off into the night like a lost soul. It was most odd.

"He and Richard Gere were both special guests at the party. But Heath was just like a ghost. It was obvious something awful had happened to him."
