Naomi Watts is on the cover of More for October 2011, all tousled, soft and ethereal.  It’s a perfect look to accompany a frank and accessible interview in which she discusses a variety of subjects, including her father’s early death, parenting, and how she caught the attention of her current partner Liev Schreiber.   She also speaks fondly about her two-year relationship with the late Heath Ledger, whom she dated from 2002 – 2004.

“We had a beautiful relationship, only a couple of years, but he was a man who was completely full of joy, and there was a lot of laughing and affection. He was really a very special soul and made a great impact on my life. And a great actor, but I know there was so much more to come. And it’s a tragedy for his little daughter.”

Ledger died in January 2008 from a prescription drug overdose, leaving behind his daughter, Matilda, whose mother is actress Michelle Williams.

After practically every other country got their posters for the upcoming film The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, here’s the American version at long last.

It took a long time to come out, but was it really worth it? It’s cool and all but I think I may like some of the other versions better. In any case I am really looking forward to this surreal final Heath Ledger film.

Here’s the latest poster for the upcoming film The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassis.

This is a very strange poster, it doesn’t even seem to fit with the movie or the previous versions of the poster. This movie is not to be missed in any case with such a killer cast.

Here’s a new banner for the upcoming film The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus.

The international marketing for this film has taken precedence for a while now, at least this poster is in English, I wonder when they will finally do some marketing here in the USA. In any case, this is a nice looking new banner.

Halloween is supposed to be a fun and scary holiday right?  But where do you draw the line on the scary or horrific part? The King’s Island Amusement Park in Ohio more than crossed that line when putting together the displays for their annual Halloween Haunt.

This year the park is taking advantage of the tragic celebrity deaths that have taken place this year.  Steve McNair, Heath Ledger, Michael Jackson, Ed McMahon, Ted Kennedy and Farrah Fawcett have all been mocked by the park with horrible skeleton displays reenacting their causes of death.

Heath Ledger’s showed him dressed as the Joker with pills all around ‘him’.  As you can see in the pictures above, they have Steve McNair’s likeness on a couch with his killer laying in his lap.  Sahel Kazemi shot McNair and then herself.

This has caused a huge outrage as it should.  Such disrespect to the families still mourning the loss of their loved ones is so wrong.  The park director, Don Helbig removed the McNair display but gave this warning,

“(There’s) a lot of intense imagery, suggestive themes and things like that, so if you have young children, don’t bring them to Halloween Haunt.”

Scary is fine.  Disrespect is not.  Adults don’t want to see this crap.  The park should be boycotted.  The public needs to make a statement that we want nothing to do with a park that would try to profit off of tragic death.

The mother of the late Heather Ledger’s daughter, Michelle Williams is covering the October issue of Vogue looking beautiful and fresh.

In the interview, Michelle confirms that she and her director/beau, Spike Jonze (Where The Wild Things Are) have ended their relationship.

“The timing was impossible,” she admits. “I thought falling in love again was the only thing that was going to save me from the pain. This erroneous idea: It just makes things more complicated.”

This was Michelle’s firs relationship since Heath Ledger died.  It’s been a long, painful healing process for the single mother. Raising Heath’s daughter, Matilda without him is a challenge.

“I was holding it together by a string and a paper clip in the fall and winter.  I didn’t know if I could keep it all together … You console yourself by saying it’s all a deepening process. But it’s weird. After the first year, the pain is less intense — it’s less immediate. But the magical thinking goes away too. And that’s a whole new reckoning.”

“I didn’t know what my boundaries were for a long time, which made interviews feel very unsafe. I can talk about grief, because that’s mine; about single parenting; about trying to balance work and kids. But what I don’t have to talk about is what happened between Heath and me in our relationship.”

Pick up the October issue of Vogue to read the entire, touching interview.  I give kudos to Michelle.  I think she’s a wonderful mom and I know she will find a new love in her life, one that fits like a glove.
