Nat defends Heath

Morning

Just a quick update about a story that broke while I was in dreamland. Natalie’s agency, ID, was also Heath Ledger’s agency and they were angered enough by Entertainment Tonight’s plans to show an old video of Heath Ledger at a party where SOMEONE ELSE was doing drugs. They got a number of their clients, most notably Natalie, to threaten to no longer deal with ET if they didn’t pull the piece.

Click here for a brief summary, here for a more in depth look and here for Dave Poland’s take on the story. Thanks to Nicole.

I’m really proud of everyone involved as it felt like “journalism” at its worst when I heard about it yesterday.

I’ll be back later with a lot more.
