All About Heath Ledger

It has been 5 days since this talented Aussie actor was found dead in his SoHo apartment a few blocks away from Chinatown. But, there seems to be no end to the media nor the public's interest in Heath Ledger. Infotainment programs like ET, Access Hollywood, Inside Edition, TMZ, etc. have dedicated hours and hours of special reports about him and the "mystery" surrounding his death. Did he kill himself or was it accidental overdose? Does it matter now that he is gone?

As I am blogging about this, "The Order" is playing on Fox 5. Truly, Ledger is a rising star that bit the dust way too early. There's no doubt that his funeral in Perth, Western Australia will also attract plenty of media & paparazzi attention.

Adrian & I were in Chinatown shopping for some Chinese New Year goodies and we took a turn at Broome Street just to have a look-see and perhaps, to pay tribute to this talented actor who passed at the dawn of his prime.

421 Broome Street. I couldn't help but think that maybe Ledger chose this street because Broome reminded him of home. Or, it could just be pure coincidence.

Tributes poured in immediately after news of his death broke out, but they've cleared most of them away. Today, fans and people were still leaving flowers, personal letters, momentos etc. outside his rental apartment.

Moments later, Geraldo Rivera and his film crew stopped by the apartment and started filming a segment for his show. We overheard him interviewing a doctor about the possible cause of Heath Ledger's death and the doctor said something like it was too late to do anything for Ledger.

After 15 minutes or so, it's all over. Geraldo stopped and posed for photos with some of his fans and quickly walked away.

And, we went home.
