LEDGER BAGGED REHAB

January 30, 2008 -- Actress Michelle Williams drove her doomed lover, Heath Ledger, to the Malibu celebrity rehab center Promises in March 2006 because he was abusing heroin, coke and booze, but her "Brokeback Mountain" co-star refused to check in and vowed to clean up on his own, a bombshell report reveals.
When Ledger broke that promise - and after Williams left him in 2007 because of his hard partying - she demanded he be drug-tested whenever he was going to be alone with their young daughter, Matilda, US Weekly reports in a cover story out today.
Ledger's substance abuse, which included "a variety of pills," was linked to depression and continued throughout and after his three-year relationship with Williams, a source said.
But in recent months, the Oscar-nominated hunk "had been discreetly reaching out to private counselors," according to US.
"He looked like a zombie," said a confidant. "A week or so before he died, he admitted he needed help. We were thrilled."
But it was too late.
Ledger was found dead Jan. 22 in his SoHo apartment amid open packages of prescription sleeping and anti-anxiety pills by a masseuse who used his cellphone to speed-dial his paramour, actress Mary-Kate Olsen, before calling 911. His cause of death remains open pending toxicology tests.
Williams, 27, "cried and screamed as soon as she heard" the news about Ledger in Sweden, where she was shooting a movie, a source said. The next day, at her Brooklyn townhouse with Matilda, 2, the actress "looked like she couldn't cry anymore and was very quiet . . . Michelle is totally devastated," said a friend.
Olsen "was inconsolable," and flew to New York from California right after getting the news, according to a source. "She's heartbroken and scared."
Meanwhile yesterday, Ledger's dad visited his son's Broome Street apartment for the first time since the tragedy, spending about an hour inside before telling a building superintendent he might return to collect Heath's belongings.
Kim Ledger, accompanied by NYPD detectives, also paid an emotional visit to the basement, where staff has collected the hundreds of flowers, candles, cards, letters and other mementos left outside by fans in Heath's memory.
Kim "said it was beautiful," said super Tamba Mossa. "He was happy."

I got flamed a little win I called him a JUNKIE. I was hated because I was right.
What I would have titled it as. HEROIN, COKE AND BOOZE WERE NOT ENOUGH FOR "BAREBACK MOUNTING" ACTOR TO OVERCOME DEPRESSION.

I'd rather be a junkie than someone with no life who posts 4 threads about the same dead guy. 
And, no, you were hated on because no one can figure out why you seem to have such a hardon for him.
I mean, 4 threads dude? Really? I think you need to move on.

You got flamed on because you're a judgemental prick. If you've never been there, don't judge. Who cares even if he was a "junkie"? Junkies are human beings too. You're talking shit about a dead guy. Get a life and grow up.
