Heath Ledger's Apt for sale

The Manhattan apartment where Hollywood heartthrob Heath Ledger died from an accidental overdose, is back on the market.

The Oscar-nominated actor had died in 2008, at the age of twenty-eight of an overdose of prescription drugs and the apartment has since been empty.

Ledger, who won a posthumous Oscar for his performance in the film Dark Knight was renting the downtown New York apartment for $ 23,000 a month at the time of his death.

The Australian actor was single handedly bringing up his daughter Matilda, whose mother is actress Michelle Williams, when he died in January 2008.

In July, 2009, after sitting empty for more than a year, the property was sold through auction.

However, the Broome Street property was put up for sale earlier this month for $ 5 million, reported E! Online.

The current owners have completely gutted the apartment to make way for a major renovation to boost chances of a sale.

What Is She Hiding?

Apparently nothing according to her lawyer Michael C. Miller. "Despite tabloid speculation, Mary-Kate Olsen had nothing whatsoever to do with the drugs found in Heath Ledger's home or his body, and she does not know where he obtained them."

I wonder why she won't speak to investigators in the case surrounding the late actor's death unless she has immunity from prosecution?

Heath Told Gemma To Be A "Punk"

Gemma Ward, the Australian model who Heath Ledger was rumored to be dating before his sudden death is finally speaking out about the late actor in an interview with The Sydney Morning Herald.

Although making a clear point to not speak about her personal life during the interview, Ward does reveal this about Heath:

"I think he operated from the heart. He really, really knew that if he was going to make a decision to be in a film, then he needed to be really committed to it."

And Heath's advice for her:
"He wasn't afraid to fight with people involved, he wasn't afraid to perhaps piss people off. He told me to always be a punk and stand up for yourself."

Heath's "Secret Struggles" Revealed in US Weekly

The new US Weekly's cover story features quotes from a "close" source/pal/confidant close to Heath Ledger and Michelle Williams. According to the article, Williams was heartbroken throughout their three year relationship by her boyfriend's abuse of alcohol and drugs, including heroine, cocaine, and unidentified pills.

The article also claims that Williams took Ledger to Promises Treatment Center in California in early 2006, but that he refused to enter, and swore he would change and clean up his act.

Two separate sources also told US Weekly that after their split, Williams insisted that Ledger be drug-tested before his visitations with their 2-year-old daughter Matilda.

Heath hints at a marriage

Heath Ledger once again dodged questions about whether he and his baby mama Michelle Williams have tied the knot in a brief interview with Newsweek, though his responses lean towards a positive answer.

Are the reports true that you and Michelle Williams got married? "We try not to talk about it, to keep it our own kind of thing. It's obviously very sacred. People write stories regardless. The stories haven't necessarily been bad. So we're letting people run with their assumptions."

It's not like people won't eventually find out. "That's right."

And yet, how will we ever know for sure if you never say anything? "They take photos of us wearing our wedding rings."

I've seen those photos. So I take it that you are married. "You can write whatever you wish."

Why don't you just make the announcement now and get it over with? "We're not ones to announce."

As the Joker in the new Batman movie, have you tried on the mask yet? "Metaphorically, yes. I've been bouncing around like a lunatic for four months. I definitely have a different take on him, but I've yet to do a proper makeup run. It's on the agenda."

Do you walk around the house all day practicing your laugh? "I'd be lying if I said I haven't been."
