According to NYPD spokesman, Paul Browne, there was no obvious indication that Heath had committed suicide. The 28-year-old actor had an appointment for a massage at his apartment.

The massage therapist and a housekeeper found him, facedown at the foot of his bed, naked, at about 3:30 p.m. They tried to revive him, but he was already dead.

Heath has a daughter, Matilda, with actress Michelle Williams. The couple split last September.

We mourn the loss of a talented actor.

Did you know that Scarlett Johansson, 23, and Ryan Reynolds, 31, are a couple?

Well, the pair have been dating for a year, following Scarlett’s split from Josh Harnett and the end of Ryan’s engagement to Alanis Morissette.

According to the New York Daily News, Ryan is ready to make Scarlett fiancee No. 2. 

One award show that doesn’t have to worry about whether the stars will turn up or not (due to Hollywood’s Writers’ Strike) is the Razzies -- which dis-honours Hollywood’s worst talents.

I know who killed my movie career!

And leading the pack in this year’s nominees is the Lindsay Lohan vehicle, I Know Who Killed Me, which received 9 nominations including for Worst Picture, Worst Screenplay, Worst Director, Worst Screen Couple (LiLo appearing opposite herself) and Worst Actress. I Know is an oddball crossbreeding of the Hostel/Saw genre of “teen torture porn” in which LiLo stars as psychically connected twins. I don’t know how many of you have seen the movie but believe you me, LiLo is most deserving of the worst actress nom, and the film totally sucks. I’m sure the film will walk away with at least one of the gold-spray painted US$4.89 statuette. Anyone else thinks so?

All my multiple roles and a Razzie nom is what I get?

Here are the films earned major nominations for the Razzies this year:

I Know Who Killed Me – 9 noms

I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry – 8 noms

Norbit – 8 noms

Bratz -- 5 noms

Daddy Day Camp – 5 noms

Captivity – 3 noms

Really? I beat Johnny Depp for real?

Denzel Washington has topped the list of America’s favourite movie stars this year, in the annual Harris Poll beating Tom Hanks and even Johnny Depp. The highest ranking female star turned out to be Julia Roberts.

Here now is the list of the Top 10:

1. Denzel Washington;
2. Tom Hanks;
3. Johnny Depp;
4. Julia Roberts;
5. Will Smith
6. John Wayne;
7. Matt Damon;
8. Sean Connery;
9. Sandra Bullock;
10. Bruce Willis.

Well, Denzel is not only a well-liked movie star, he is also a popular family man and role model. As a father of four, Denzel tells his kids that the world can be an imperfect place – but advises them not to be brought down by the imperfections. “I try to teach my children there are going to be obstacles,” the 53-year-old actor said yesterday. “Someone may not like you just because they don’t like themselves. But don’t you get bogged down. Don’t be a hater. Don’t let hatred destroy you. Overcome it, move on, educate them, if you will.”

No, it’s not Lilo’s latest movie role. Instead she will see real dead people in a morgue as part of her punishment for a misdemeanor drunken driving.

The 21-year-old singer/actress has already completed her rehabilitation course and has served 80 hours of community service with the American Red Cross. Apart from going to rehab and performing community duty, the court also required Lilo to perform four hours at a hospital emergency room, which she did last month; and four hours at a morgue.

Lilo will join a program showing drivers the real-life consequences of drinking and driving. “There will be a walk-through of the service floor where autopsies are taking place along with the processing of the deceased. These “students” will also see the deceased in our crypt,” the Los Angeles County coroner said in an interview.

“Ms Lohan will see the bodies. She’s going to be treated like any other individual. We have 20 to 30 autopsies a day and these people will see whatever’s going on at the time. It won’t be pretty. We need to show them what reality is,” the coroner said.

Lilo is to visit the morgue sometime in June.

Okay, I get it. Friends and “friends” would like to help Britney Spears in her time of sickness … er need. But guys, don’t you think she needs professional (i.e someone with the right qualifications like a psychiatrist) to help her rather than someone who’s “been through what she has”?

Take Backstreet Boys’ A.J. McLean for instance. We all know he’s “been there before” and now he wants to “help his good friend”. A.J. apparently said he would like Brit-Brit’s publicist or somebody to tell her to get in touch with him so that he can “sit her down and have it out with her.”

He believes that the pop tart needs a real friend to talk to. “She needs a close friend especially now. I believe in her 110 percent, but she needs to call me. I just want to sit down with her and have it out. First I would say, 'What the hell is wrong with you?' Second I would say, 'What is really wrong with you? What are you not saying to everybody else?' ” he said recently.

He adds that he’s been six years sober and kinda knows what she’s going through.

Okay, I know the guy is just trying to help and he’s a nice guy for it, but if you’re such a close friend, why do you need Britney’s publicist to call her and tell her to call you? Shouldn’t you have her number already? Hmmm … some friend!

And, just because you screwed up and manage to get your life “back together again” with help from others, doesn’t mean you’re qualified to help Britney with her problems. The best thing you can do A.J. is to recommend “your close friend” a really good shrink!

Note: A really good shrink does not mean Dr. Phil!

Ashley and Jared are passionate friends

Well, they say they are still "good friends", but cute exes Ashley Olsen and Jared Leto have been spotted looking lovey-dovey at an art event in LA recently. What's more, according to observers, the actress and the 30 Seconds to Mars rocker/actor held hands all night long and (gasp!) were all over each other when they thought no eyes were watching. Wow, the twosome sure have redefined what "good friendship" is.

Stop talking bad about Jess -- you know who you are!

What a guy!

After completing a movie with Matthew Perry, Zac will start filming High School Musical 3
