Defamer
An allegedly shocking video of Heath Ledger attending a "Hollywood drug party" (or as such an event is more commonly referred to in Los Angeles, "a party") at the Chateau Marmont following the 2006 SAG awards, which may prove conclusively that the recently deceased actor has been in the same room as cocaine and may have discussed his own chilling marijuana use, has surfaced.
Australia's Channel 9 will reportedly air the footage tonight, but relentlessly scrupulous American celebrity newsmagazine shows ET and The Insider, despite having paid a rumored $200,000 for rights to the clip and having teased their expensive exclusive yesterday, have announced that they won't run "the video which has been circulating in the world media" (read: devalued) "out of respect" (read: probably not that good anyway) for Ledger's family; not only should this compassionate decision serve to alleviate any residual guilt over their six-figure impulse buy, but it will spare Insider host and noted Hollywood party-goer Pat O'Brien from having to feign dismay about what actually takes place at these depraved show-business bacchanals. The above Insider clip shows one of the aforementioned teases; inevitably, Celebrity Rehab's Dr. Drew makes a cameo, offering his trademarked basic-cable-addiction-specialist compassion in response to the breaking news.

ugh. weren't we just dealing with this the same time last year? what's next? a heath clown face tape?
Imagine what would've happened if Tom Cruise attended that party...
The idea of anybody in the media criticising anyone else for partaking in "the drugs" makes me want to vomit Lego bricks.
This whole video fiasco is fucking nonsense. Show me something with Heath nodding out on the corner of 7th and St. Julian and then maybe we'll have a story.
A few joints and a couple lines are as common in this town as power lunches and charity events.
I realize the fact that Mr. Ledger is dead adds some relevance to a video of him 'allegedly' doing drugs, but lets call it what it is: a sensationalistic attempt by the television tabloids to boost ratings.
Fuck them.
P.S. I'm having a Hollywood Drug Party tonight at the Sunset Marquis. RSVP by 7pm.
God help* the celebrity that dies in January when football season ends, post holiday blues attack, the weather is sucky and the populace is bored, bored, bored.
*That goes double during a writer's strike.
The fact that he started smoking weed at six or seven simply makes me love him more.
The snippets of this video that were shown on ET last night made it pretty obvious that the people he was with did not know him personally, and the "camera's" presence is much less than obvious. I'm guessing there's a better (read: legal) reason than out of respect for the actor.
Celebrity Moral of the Story: Don't do drugs with strangers.
@guitarsnob: I'm having a Hollywood Drug Party right now!
What's the big deal? It's not like he was eating carbs .
I just sent ET the outtakes reel from the credits of Jackass #2 and told them it was cell phone footage smuggled out of celebrity rehab.
They offered me 1 million. I told them to call back when they were serious.
If drug use is measured by the size of your hairdo, then Heath and his teeny-tiny bun are definitely nearer the clean end of the scale. Amy Winehouse, on the other hand...
@LIttle Mintz Sunshine: Snorting spaghetti? Oh, the shame!!!
Do people have so little to do drug-adjacent Heath videos "float" around Hollywood? Or did he get it off the celebrity rehab fetishist list?
@CrankYank: There's supposed to be a "that" in there somewhere.
Es tu, Dr. Drew?
@CrankYank: Could you insert the "that" please? I want to answer your question but I can't figure out what the question is.
Let me help:

@louisev: Thank you. Terrible blonde moment.
@Trixie from Toronto: You're telling me!
