Supporting Matilda

You may have heard about the three A-listers, Johnny Depp, Jude Law and Colin Farrell, respectively, who are donating their paychecks to Heath Ledger's little girl Matilda.

Michelle Williams and Daughter Matilda Support Their Local Coffee House

sweatpantsmom — Tue, 26 May 2009 23:05:00 GMT

Michelle Williams and daughter Matilda took a walk in Brooklyn on Saturday, and as with most outings where mothers and daughters are present, coffee was involved. That's how it is for me and my two girls, anyways - it's getting so we can't step out the door without a $10 detour to Starbucks. It makes me long for the good old days, when they'd be satisfied with a juice box I grabbed out of the refrigerator.

Williams is currently filming the indie drama Blue Valentine with Ryan Gosling. That oughta pay for a few more mother-daughter coffee outings.

Run, Matilda, Run. It's not Updike, but it sure is fun.

It seems like every time we see young Matilda she's got a spring in her step, and that is what it's all about. Very Hokey-Pokeyish.

Don't let this last photo fool you, there's still spring there, it's just getting some air.

Christian Bale Isn't a User

trix — Wed, 13 May 2009 15:32:00 GMT

Christian Bale doesn't need any kind of anything to help him perform. He admits that he was, at one time, tempted to use steroids to build his physique.

He passed up the chance to be a 'roid head and do it all naturally.

The reason he passed it up?

He said, “I called up the store where they’re selling that sort of stuff and asked, ‘Have you used it? And side effects?’ ‘No no. I mean, really minimal. Your balls might shrink and you might get acne.’ I’m like, there’s no way in hell I’m going to touch anything like that and damn those who think I did.”

Ha ha that's funny, he didn't want his junk to shrink. It probably would have made him a little angry and intense. He needs nothing to help him in the intensity department.

Spike Jonze And Michelle Williams Wedding Rumors

Josh loposer — Thu, 23 Apr 2009 22:30:00 GMT

What's that I hear? Wedding bells? Wait... rumors about wedding bells? The word on the street is that Matilda Ledger may have a new daddy soon, and I think I'm buying into the rumors.

“They’re in love and absolutely thrilled with each other,” says a source. “They don’t see why they should wait much longer...

“Spike loves being with Matilda. He’s teaching her to skateboard and to ride a bike,” says a source.

“He never makes Michelle feel like taking care of her is a burden, because he truly thinks of them all as a family."

Apparently, all the signs point to Spike Jonze and Michelle Williams (Heath Ledger's ex-fiance') getting hitched -- and soon -- confirming my suspicions based on the fact that Spike's work was taking a very child-oriented direction.

I can't think of any other good reason that Spike would make a gag trailer for a film entitled Everyone Poops, except that he's anticipating fatherhood -- or a bout with incontinence.

Spike Jonze Has Potty Training On The Brain: Everyone Poops Video

Josh loposer — Thu, 09 Apr 2009 16:32:00 GMT

Ever since Spike Jonze's and Michelle Williams took their relationship to the next level, it seems that Spike's work has become more kid-centric.

If you'll remember with me here, Michelle Williams was Heath Ledger's fiancee up until a few months before the actor's tragic death, and Matilda (in the stroller) is Heath's daughter.

The more thing get serious in the relationship, the more Jonze's art appears to be reflecting his new role as the man in Matilda's life. First, Spike adapted the children's book Where the Wild Things Are for the big screen. Now, it appears that he's tackled another children's book: Everyone Poops.

OK, it's not a trailer for a real movie being made, it's kinda one of those self-reflexive spoofs that Jonze is fond of. After watching the trailer though, I wish he would go ahead and make a feature length film out of it. That'd be hilarious!

Do you think Spike is considering becoming a step daddy? At the rate that he and Michelle are going, it seems likely enough.

Matilda Ledger is All Smiles

Karl Erikson — Mon, 06 Apr 2009 19:34:00 GMT

Gorgeous little Matilda Ledger, daughter of the late Heath Ledger, was out and about in Brooklyn yesterday. With nanny at her side, Matilda went climbing up a metal fence and had a blast skipping along the sidewalk.

Matilda's mom is Oscar-nominated actress Michelle Williams, 28. Michelle was in "Brokeback Mountain" with Heath, which is where they met and fell in love.

Michelle Williams and Daughter Matilda Have Their Priorities

Michelle Williams to Seek a Better Life Abroad

trix — Tue, 24 Mar 2009 16:31:00 GMT

Michelle Williams has had enough of the fast pace of America and the media frenzy that happens every time she steps out the door with little Matilda, so she's leaving.

Michelle is only 28, but tires of trying to balance working and raising her daughter. She said, " I graduated high school early, I left home early, I started earning a living early, I was successful early, so having a kid early fits in.”

" “I’m tired, but I really do think that raising her is the ultimate creative act. It is difficult trying to balance both things. The whole working-mother thing is a crock of s***. I shouldn’t use that language, but I don’t know if you can have it all. It’s hard to do both things well.”

“I don’t want any more paparazzi outside my door. I want it to get better as my daughter grows up, not worse. If it makes a difference, if doing smaller movies means less of that stuff, then I’ll adjust my life so that we can still have a life in the city and not totally disappear. If not, I think they have laws in France - I’ll go there.”

We may not see as much of her, I hope that she and Matilda can have everything they want, they have been through enough hardship and need nothing else to hinder their lives.

Michelle Williams and Matilda Have Their Priorities

sweatpantsmom — Fri, 20 Mar 2009 22:05:00 GMT

Michelle Williams and daughter Matilda were out walking in Brooklyn yesterday, and it looks like they both know what's important. Matilda has some beautiful flowers - she must know the value of keeping nature alive in an urban setting.

But Michelle and I are definitely on the same page when it comes to priorities. While flowers are pretty and all, no mom could even begin to appreciate any of that beauty without a big cup of coffee.

(Speaking of beauty, Matilda is growing up into such a little cutie, and the spitting image of Heath.)

Michelle Williams and daughter Matilda Ledger took a little walk in Brooklyn. By the way, did you know a tree grows there?

I love the mother/daughter look they have going on - parkas with pants tucked into matching boots. You know, I tried this with my tween girls, but people kept trying to throw a blanket over me. I guess they just didn't appreciate my belly-baring crop top and hip huggers. Or maybe it was the Jonas Brothers backpack. Whatever - people are so judgmental.

Heath Ledger's Dad: Michelle Doing Great Job With Matilda

Sassy Smith — Tue, 03 Mar 2009 15:04:00 GMT

Heath Ledger died from an accidental overdose a year ago in January and he left behind a daughter - Matilda Rose, 3 - with actress Michelle Williams. Heath's family has been very vocal about their close relationship with Williams and how much they adore Matilda.

Heath's dad, Kim Ledger said, "Michelle keeps her [Matilda] very closeted. I [don't] think she'll really know very much about the fuss of what's going on (referring to Oscar night), which I think is a good thing."

And the rumors of a rocky relationship with Michelle? Not true.

Ledger added, "We're very close with Michelle. She's going an amazing job with Matilda, and we speak all the time so we're in constant contact and always will be."

I believe Michelle wants what's best for her child, and she would never deny her a relationship with her grandparents. They are a connection to her late father and that's very important for her.

Matilda will also get all of her father's awards, including his Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for his role as The Joker in The Dark Knight.

A Judge Rules: Matilda Ledger Is NOT A Celebrity

Sassy Smith — Wed, 25 Feb 2009 13:04:00 GMT

Lawyers for Matilda Ledger's trust and Minneapolis-based life insurance company ReliaStar, have reached a settlement on the lawsuit involving a $10 million life insurance policy that Heath Ledger took out just a few months before his accidental death last January.

Superior Court Judge Luis A Lavin declared that Matilda Rose will be protected from public scrutiny. He said, "She is not a celebrity. She is a minor child."

Matilda, 3, is the sole benefactor of her father's life insurance policy. The settlement and details are sealed to the public as per Judge Lavin. He said that while the late actor was a celebrity, his child is not, and said, "the motion is granted."

Margaret Levy, lawyer for ReliaStar said the company was pleased the case was settled "amicably" and Heath's daughter would be protected from the public's prying eyes.

Levy said, "We think that's great that she will be protected."

I'm glad they've settled - Matilda deserves that money and I'm sure Heath would be pleased that his daughter will be financially secure.

Michelle Williams: Picking Up The Pieces After Heath's Death

Sassy Smith — Mon, 23 Feb 2009 12:12:00 GMT

The world may have lost a great actor when Heath Ledger died last January of an accidental overdose, but actress Michelle Williams lost so much more - she still grieves the loss of her daughter's father.

In a recent interview, Williams talks about where she is a year after Heath's death.

Michelle has taken the last few months off of work, and she's still not quite ready to go back.

"Work can be great to get you through certain crises, to have something that you have to show up at and something that generally passes the time." Michelle added, she had a hard time working through the media storm following Heath's death.

"I felt burnt out, I still feel that, but I'm coming back to my wits, little by little. But ultimately I am not yet ready to work. I've actually really been enjoying not working," she laughs, just moments after she seemed to be fighting back tears. "I guess everybody enjoys that."

Michelle is focusing her attention on daughter Matilda.

The 28-year-old mother is "cooking, baking, cleaning and sewing," enjoying her time as a stay-at-home parent.

"As a young actress, you feel this intense pressure to work. Everybody says 'The time is now'. But I can be 28 and take a year off. Hopefully there'll still be something there to go back to."

She added, "Now [being a successful film actress] comes with so much baggage. It has lost its appeal for me. It used to be a refuge and now it's a hassle."

Williams doesn't like "celebrity," and enjoys living in Brooklyn. She says she feels "very detached" from Hollywood.

"I wouldn't raise [Matilda] there. For all the obvious reasons – being the daughter of…," she pauses. "Being an actor's daughter. It's a town that's about one thing and I want her to have options."

Michelle says she'd love Matilda to be a doctor, but the three year old, at this point, wants to be a cowgirl.

Williams has been romantically linked with director Spike Jonze, but didn't want to discuss that when asked.

"I don't really want to talk about that. In terms of trying to convey how you feel, you can never really say it right. I do worry too much about getting it just right."

Will she go back to acting?

Said Michelle, "I can handle sitting here chatting in a bar in Brooklyn, that's right up my alley. I just don't want to strap a film to my back – fly all over the world and show up at lots of different places with a different dress and a new hairdo.

"I'll be happy making movies for $300,000 for the rest of my life, if the roles are interesting. On that level, there'll always be something to go back to."

I wish her well. She seems so normal and grounded and I believe she'll do a great job of raising Matilda.

Best Supporting Actor: Heath Ledger Wins 2009 Oscar Gold!

Sassy Smith — Mon, 23 Feb 2009 03:24:00 GMT

Heath Ledger has won a posthumous Best Supporting Actor Oscar for his amazing performance as The Joker in The Dark Knight! Ledger died a year ago January 22 from an accidental overdose, and although his family misses him greatly, he's left behind a wonderful legacy, especially for his young daughter, Matilda Rose.

One more pic and video after the jump!

In an emotional speech, Heath's family accepted the award on the behalf of their late son and his little girl, Matilda, 3, who will get the award when she turns 18.

From reuters:

"This award tonight .... validated Heath's quiet determination to be truly accepted accepted by you all here, his peers, in an industry that he so loved," Ledger's father, Kim, said, accepting the Oscar on his son's behalf with Ledger's mother, Sally Bell, and the actor's sister, Kate Ledger.

"We have been truly overwhelmed by the honor and respect bestowed on him with this award," Sally Bell said.

Matilida will have quite the mantel of awards to remember her father - besides the Oscar, Heath won: A British Academy Film Award, a Golden Globe, and a Screen Actors Guild Award.

The entire Ledger family arrived in the U.S. from Perth on Wednesday and they'll be spending time with Heath's 3-year-old daughter Matilda Rose and her mom, Michelle Williams. And by the sounds of it, Kim Ledger, Heath's dad, may be the one giving the acceptance speech should his son win an Oscar!

Video link after the jump!

Heath's family - dad Kim, mom Sally and sister Kate and their partners and kids were spotted at the airport after arriving in the States.

Before leaving Perth, Kim Ledger said if Heath wins it could bring a bit of light to Australians in the wake of devastating bushfires in Victoria.

"Given the tragic circumstances of the last 10 days with the fires, maybe we can add a little spark of light to everybody if he manages to bring it home."

A spokeswoman for the family said, "They're very excited, they are actually quite relaxed. It's been such a difficult last 12 months for them.

"But they are in a position they feel like they can relax now and enjoy his talent and the accolades he has enjoyed."

The Joker role in The Dark Knight was Heath's last role. He's won a few posthumous awards already: A British Academy Film Award, a Golden Globe, and a Screen Actors Guild Award.

At the airport, Kim Ledger said, "I'm extremely proud. You can't expect to win something like this. [The Academy] could just as easily turn left, as [it] could go right."

His daughter will have quite a legacy from her father. Matilda will also be given his Oscar (should he win) but it will be held for her (by her mother Michelle Williams) until she turns 18 as is required by the academy's rules.

Sassy Smith — Thu, 19 Feb 2009 20:32:00 GMT

Should Heath Ledger win a posthumous Oscar for his supporting role as The Joker in The Dark Knight, his 3-year-old daughter, Matilda Rose Ledger will take the award home. However, the statuette won't technically be hers until she's 18, and she must sign a contract at that time.

The academy said that the late actor's nomination and Matilda's young age made for a complicated situation - one of the most difficult they've dealt with.

Bruce Davis, executive director of the academy said, "It's complicated, because there are two different questions that have to be answered.

"First, we have to decide who gets the job of accepting the award onstage on the night of the ceremony. And then there's the question of the eventual disposition of the posthumous statuette, which may not stay with the person who accepts it."

Normally, a posthumous statuette goes to the spouse, but because Heath and Michelle Williams were never married, it would go to the oldest child.

Matilda is too young to sign the winner's agreement (a signed contract is required by all nominees that says the recipient will not resell his or her Oscar without first offering it back to the academy), so her mom, Michelle, will be legal custodian of the statuette until Matilda turns 18.

Davis added, "At that point, she may execute what we call an heir's agreement and keep the statuette forever - or, if she chooses not to do that, it will return to us."

The academy has not disclosed who will accept the award on stage, should Ledger win. It's usually a close relative or another actor who was close to the winner. Gary Oldman accepted Ledger's Screen Actors Guild last month.

Heath's family members are heading to the U.S. to visit Matilda and Michelle before the Oscar ceremonies and it's rumored that one of them may accept the award on Ledger's behalf.

Heath Ledger's Insurance Case Closed- Finally

trix — Fri, 30 Jan 2009 19:32:00 GMT

It's been a long, sad year in the life of Matilda Ledger. As time goes on, the pain fades and you are left with your memories, which is a blessing.

The insurance policy Heath took out on his life was for 10 million and of course, the insurance had to conduct a thorough investigation into the cause of his death. The company wanted to make sure that Heath didn't commit suicide, which the doctors said with in the first few days but the Insurance Company didn't want to listen.

The attorney for Heath Ledger's estate claimed the insurer was refusing to pay because it wanted to investigate whether Ledger's death was a suicide.

A settlement has now been reached in the situation and will be brought forth before the court next month to finalize the agreement.

I'm not sure why it had to be settled though, because a 10 million dollar life insurance policy is a 10 million dollar policy. Why would they settle? Maybe I'm naive, but I don't understand.

At least it's done now, because no one wants to have to fight the insurance company on a daily basis.

Heath Ledger in Top Posthumous Earners List

Karl Erikson — Tue, 27 Jan 2009 17:36:00 GMT

Heath Ledger is amongst other dead celebrities who have earned lots more after their death than before. Joining Elvis Presley and John Lennon, Heath Ledger is on the Top Posthumous Earners List.

Heath, star of movies such as "Brokeback Mountain," "A Knight's Tale," and "The Dark Knight," earned over $30 million last year. Leading experts say he'll probably get more than $5 million this year if he gets next month's Best Supporting Actor Oscar. All of the money, of course, goes to his daughter with Michelle Williams, Matilda, 3.

Elvis still tops the high earners' list, even 31 years past his death. Second is famous Peanuts creator Charles Schulz. Heath is third, followed by Albert Einstein and TV prodcer Aaron Spelling in fourth and fifth place. Others on the top 10 list include Dr. Seuss, John Lennon, Andy Warhol, Marilyn Monroe, and Steve McQueen.

Heath Ledger's family gathered at Cottesole Beach in Australia - it was a favorite place of the late actor - to remember him on the one year anniversary of his death and acknowledge his recent Oscar nomination for his portrayal of the villainous Joker in The Dark Knight.

Ledger's older sister Kate said, "We are still nursing broken hearts. Like anyone who loses a family member, it has opened our eyes to the intense suffering and painful journey that is death."

Kate, along with Heath's two half-sisters - Ashleigh Bell and Olivia Ledger - father Kim Ledger and mom Sally Bell, all gathered at the Indiana Tea Room on Cottesloe Beach.

Kate added that they appreciate the great job that Michelle Williams is doing in raising Heath's daughter, Matilda Rose, 3.

"Michelle is doing an amazing job with 'our girl' and together we will cherish every moment of her steps through life."

Younger sister Ashleigh acknowledged Heath's Oscar nod, saying, "in Heath's words, he had 'the time of his life.'"

"Although we would love to have him here with us, we are so proud and so excited on his behalf. We will take this opportunity today to honor his wonderful life and take comfort in knowing Heath will continue to touch future generations through this amazing art form.

"What an unbelievable legacy he has left for Matilda and our family," she added.

Heath's parents declined comment to the media.

The family, later, enjoyed a commemorative lunch.

January 22 marked the one year anniversary of Heath's accidental overdose in his NY apartment.

Brad & Angie's Oscar Nods: Meh, We're Busy With Kids

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie were both nominated for Oscars (he for The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, she for Changeling) and although they were flattered to be acknowledged, and released statements, the couple didn't have time to celebrate. Pitt says they're just too busy chasing six kids.

Brad insists that award nominations have to take a backseat to looking after kids, especially since he and Angie have a big family. He said they have no plans of celebrating: "We've got kids to deal with."

Pitt reveals he was not expecting to be nominated. "Truthfully, I hadn't thought about it," he told ET.

Although he was flattered for his own nod and that of the film (Benjamin Button). He added, "But I'm glad that it's in there because it's a film that picks up the mantle of old Hollywood and it's carrying on in that tradition. I think it's a testament to [director] David Fincher who has given years of his life to the movie."

I'm sure he and Angelina will be hiring a sitter and definitely going to the Oscars when they roll around! Not sure if either of them will win, but you never know. I wonder if they'll let the older kids stay up late to watch the show?

Angelina Jolie and her partner Brad Pitt, both received Oscar nods Thursday. Jolie is nominated for Best Actress in a Leading Role for Changeling, and Kung Fu Panda was nominated for Best Animated Feature Film of the Year in which she lends her voice. Pitt is nominated for Best Actor in a Leading Role for The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and the movie was nominated for Best Motion Picture. The pair have released statements on their recognition:

Brad said from Paris, "This is a great honor for the movie, and I'm especially happy for David Fincher, for without him there would be no Ben Button."

Angelina's statement reads, "Working with Clint Eastwood was a reward in itself that will last me a lifetime. To receive a nomination from the Academy on top of that is a privilege beyond any expectation. It has been an exceptional year for acting, and I am honored to be in the company of these talented actors whose performances all deserve this recognition. I am also happy that Kung Fu Panda was noticed by the Academy and proud to be a part of a film my entire family loves so much."

Wouldn't it be cute if they both won? Nah, with six kids, it would probably be hard to keep a couple of gold statues clean. But hey, good luck!
