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.

Sunday Cute Shot - Rides for Matilda

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 Matilda are Too Freakin' Cute

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.

Michelle and Matilda - Skip to My Lou

Michelle Williams and Matilda braved the cold weather of New York City and looked adorable while doing it.

I think Michelle's legs have to be freezing though, her tights look pretty thin, I can see her knees. I look Michelle's boots, they look comfortabl, I think I could get used to comfy boots like that.

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 is Haunting Michelle for Closure

trix — Wed, 31 Dec 2008 17:38:00 GMT

Michelle Williams is having a hard time getting through her grief of her lost love Heath Ledger.

She said that she has seen Heath's ghost twice. She was scared the first time but not the second. She was awakened in the night by sounds of bumps and furniture being moved.

She woke up to see a shadowy figure who she realized was Heath. She saw the apparition for a second time and said that the "ghost" was much more clear.
She said that Heath apologized for not being able to help her raise Matilda.

Hopefully she will able to get some closure and move on with her life. It's so sad to lose someone you love but you have to be able to move on.

Heath Ledger is Golden

sweatpantsmom — Fri, 12 Dec 2008 22:08:00 GMT

Heath Ledger's much-heralded performance as the Joker in the blockbuster "The Dark Knight" has earned him a posthumous Golden Globe nomination. Ledger is nominated for best performance by an actor in a supporting role.

In a statement to People magazine, the late actor's father Kim Ledger expressed the family's gratitude. "We thank the Hollywood Foreign Press Association for honoring Heath's performance in The Dark Knight."

He added, "This nomination is deeply appreciated and is not lost on those of us who continue to love and miss him. We are so proud our boy's work is being recognized in this way."

It must difficult, and bittersweet, for a parent to accept such an honor on behalf of a son who died so young. But what a great legacy Heath leaves behind for his 3-year-old daughter Matilda.

Earlier in the month Ledger was honored at the Australia Film Actors Awards. His sister Kate spoke lovingly on behalf of the family. "It's been without a doubt the most difficult year, losing such a loved family member.

"We are so proud of him and humbly accept this award on behalf of his beautiful daughter, who we will cherish forever."

Matilda is a Beautiful Little Princess

Karl Erikson — Sat, 18 Oct 2008 12:37:00 GMT

Like mother, like daughter. Michelle Williams, 28, was out walking in Brooklyn recently and she brought along little (nearly) 3-year-old princess Matilda Ledger. Adorable, spitting image of her father, Heath.

Michelle's newest film, "Synedoche, New York" was recently screened in NYC. She's currently dating the movie's director, Spike Jonze.

Or Colin Farrell, for that matter. I never did love Jude Law, but this just might change my mind.

The three actors have donated the entirety of their paychecks for their work on The Imaginarium of Dr Parnassus - the film that Heath Ledger was working on at the time of his death - to Ledger's daughter, Matilda. Depp, Farrell and Law each play versions of Ledger's character.

According to director Terry Gilliam: "They didn’t take money — it goes to Heath’s daughter. That’s extraordinary! And wonderful . . . and when you’re part of that, you think, ‘Ah, this is maybe why I went into the movies in the beginning. I thought it would be full of wonderful people.’ And we’ve got a movie full of wonderful people who did extraordinary things to help."

Wonderful people, who are also hot. It's almost too much to take. I'd almost rather that Johnny Deep were an asshole. You know, just to take the edge off of his deliciousness.

Little Matilda Ledger Stares Down The Paparazzi

Michelle Williams and daughter Matilda Rose strolled the streets of Brooklyn with a friend early on Mother's Day and later stopped to play at the park. By the look on little Matilda's face, I'd say she's telling the paps to bring it. She's too cute for words!

Heath Ledger's close friend Vincent Fantauzzo painted a portrait of the late actor and father and it's won the People's Choice Award at Australia's Archibald Prize Exhibition. And the painting is absolutely amazing!

A large number of people voted - more than 32,000. A rep for the Art Gallery of NSW, said the Ledger family and Vincent will donate the prize-winning portrait to the gallery.

Mr. Fantauzzo received a $2,500 and $1,000 gift certificate with his award. He issued this statement on his website:

I would like to say thank you to those who have emailed with kind words regarding my recent portrait of Heath Ledger. I feel privileged and inspired to have known him and my thoughts are with his family.

The painting called "Heath," was done at Ledger's family home in Perth shortly before the 28-year-old actor died.

Heath Ledger "The Joker" Dolls - Want One?

Sassy Smith — Wed, 07 May 2008 17:38:00 GMT

Are your kids Batman fans? Are they crazy about The Joker character? Better get in line if you want a Heath Ledger "The Joker" doll - they're selling like hotcakes!

Toy stores all over New York have line-ups, people waiting to pick up their very own plastic action figure of Heath Ledger as The Joker. The toys are selling out like crazy.

Bob Friedland, a spokesman for Toys 'R' us said, "We are getting these products, all of the Dark Knight action figures, on a regular basis." However, he may be trying to down play the sellout. Stores are apparently running out quickly. An employee for Toys 'R' Us said, "There are none left in the warehouse, either. You will be waiting a while if you want one."

Many other NY stores are still waiting for shipments. The doll retails for $9.99 but there have been some sold on Ebay at much higher prices. One doll reportedly sold for $55 (as a set with an other doll).

I wonder how strange it will be for Heath's daughter Matilda when she gets older, to see a doll of her daddy?

Batman: The Dark Knight is slated for a July 18, 2008 release.

From the looks of this trailer, Heath Ledger worked the role of The Joker to extraordinary lengths - what we see of him in this set of clips from the film rocks. Obviously, the loss of such a man as a father and human being is a great tragedy, but it looks like this film will be a striking reminder that we lost an extraordinary actor.

Heath Ledger's Family: We Will Take Care of Michelle and Matilda

After it was revealed in Heath Ledger's will that the late actor had left everything to his parents and sister, his family quickly spoke out and stressed that the will pre-dated Ledger's relationship with Michelle Williams and the birth of their daughter Matilda. Heath's father Kim Ledger issued the following statement:

"Matilda is our absolute priority and Michelle is an integral part of our family. They will be taken care of and that's how Heath would want it to be."

Ledger's rep also wanted to dismiss any rumors that Williams and Matilda, 2, wouldn't be provided for. "The story is getting taken out of context and media is speculating that this means Matilda and Michelle will not be taken care of. I want to make it very clear nothing could be farther from the truth."

Mary-Kate Olsen Getting Death Threats From Heath Fans

HerBadMother — Tue, 04 Mar 2008 12:42:00 GMT

Mary Kate Olsen has reportedly beefed up her security detail after receiving bags of hate mail and death-threat phone calls from fans of Heath Ledger who blame Olsen for his death. Ledger, who was separated from the Michelle Williams, mother of his daughter Matilda, at the time, died of a prescription drug overdose in January.

PopCrunch.com writes that a tabloid report will soon outline the details of the relationship between Mary Kate and Ledger, and the disturbing response from fans:

“A lot of people who knew Heath and Mary-Kate in his last months know that they were partying together constantly, it wasn’t hard to connect the dots and run a line between Heath hooking up with Mary-Kate and his sad decline,” a celebrity mole reveals in a new tabloid report.

“One crazed fan sent her threatening letters. Another made menacing phone calls,” according to a friend of the actress. “Mary-Kate’s gotten more reclusive, paranoid and afraid to walk the streets than ever.”

Creepy. Just, creepy. On all counts.

Heath Ledger's Most Prized Possession, STOLEN

HerBadMother — Mon, 03 Mar 2008 21:22:00 GMT

Wow. It just doesn't get much more banally evil than stealing from the dead.

Apparently, Heath Ledger's well-loved 1975 green Komi van was stolen around the time of the actor's death, and although Heath's dad has made a public plea for its return, it's still missing.

The vintage van is apparently worth upwards of $70,000, in part due to the celebrity connection. Although I imagine that it's gonna be hard to dump, now that the world knows that some scumbag stole it and refused to return it to Heath's grieving family.

Feds Investigating Heath's Doctors

HerBadMother — Thu, 28 Feb 2008 15:29:00 GMT

Federal authorities are investigatign the doctors who prescribed drugs to Heath Ledger. Ledger - who left behind a two-year old daughter, Matilda - died earlier this year as the result of a toxic combination of prescription narcotics.

According to People.com:

Doctors in California and Texas are under investigation by federal drug authorities in the matter of Heath Ledger's death...

“We are investigating doctors in Los Angeles and Texas with regard to Ledger’s prescriptions,” a source tells PEOPLE.

However, the source did not say whether any wrongdoing is involved, saying, “We don’t know yet. The agents were there this week, and we are waiting to hear from them.”

It's about time. I mean, it seems likely that somebody screwed up somewhere if Heath was taking toxic combinations of prescription drugs. And that's a screw-up that nobody wants to see repeated.

Colin Farrell: Taking On Heath's Role A 'Painful Honor'

HerBadMother — Fri, 22 Feb 2008 16:15:00 GMT

Colin Farrell says that he's honored beyond measure to be taking on one of the three roles that will replace Heath Ledger in "The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus," but painfully so.

He says he accepted the role as a tribute to Heath. "It's about getting Heath's work out there. He's too good for any of his work not to be seen," Colin told Sydney's Daily Telegraph. "It makes me feel uncomfortable to think about it too much but it's an incredibly painful honor to have, you know, and an honor I wish wasn't bestowed, but an honor nonetheless."

The other actors who are taking over Heath's role are Johnny Depp and Jude Law. (Note: all of the actors playing this role? ALL dads. Go dads!) They will each take over playing Tony, Heath's character, when he steps through a magic mirror into an alternate reality at several different points in the film.

I, for one, am thrilled that we'll get to see a Colin-Johnny-Jude sandwich - of a sort - but, yeah - the cost of it was far too high.

After Heath's Ledger's sudden death, there were some doubts that Terry Gilliam was going to finish The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, the movie that Heath was filming at the time of his death. At one point, shooting had been cancelled and all cast and crew sent home. But it looks like some of Hollywood's biggest male stars have stepped up to step into Heath's very big shoes and get the picture completed.

Johnny Depp, Jude Law, and Colin Farrell will each take turns becoming multiple incarnations of Heath’s character transformed in the "magical" world of the film, according to AintItCoolNews.com.

Heath was playing Tony, a mysterious outsider, in the American fantasy adventure film about a traveling theater company giving their audience much more than they were expecting.
