Heath Ledger drug party video


So, guess the honeymoon is over. The tabloid stories are flying fast and furious, with every weekly celeb mag putting the recent death of Oscar nominee Heath Ledger, his alleged drug use and his relationship with fellow Brokeback Mountain Oscar nominee Michelle Williams on their covers. And though Ledger's reps have been trashing the stories, a new videotape reportedly provides images that prove Ledger was indeed a drug user. The video, reportedly in circulation for some time, was shot the night of the Screen Actors Guild Awards in 2006 — the night both Ledger and Williams nominated for their Brokeback performances. Post-SAGs, with Williams and their infant daughter Matilda Rose staying in a Chateau Marmont bungalow, Ledger is shown taking drugs in another Marmont room, telling those around him, "I'm going to get serious s--- from my girlfriend … We just had a baby three months ago." Ledger, who's reportedly seen in the video snorting something from a table, also curiously tells his party cohorts, "I shouldn't be here at all … I used to smoke five joints a day for 20 years." Which, given that he was 25 at the time the video was made, means he was admitting to smoking those five joints since he was five?! The video, which was scheduled to be shown on Entertainment Tonight on Thursday, has since been pulled "out of respect for Heath Ledger's family." But a snippet of the clip, which is scheduled to air on an Australian TV station, can be found ina promo ET did air on Wednesday night …

He wasn't even doing drugs in the video.
