Hot Momma Gossip

I have kind of stayed a way from this story but it has taken a better turn. Entertainment Tonight and The Insider have changed their minds under pressure and decided NOT to broadcast the shocking drug video of Heath Ledger they purchased for several hundred thousand dollars.  This comes after they already aired a long teaser of the video on their Wednesday night show and millions of people saw bits of the footage as a result.

“Out of respect for HEATH LEDGER’s family, “Entertainment Tonight” and “The Insider” have decided not to run the Heath Ledger video which has been circulating in the world media,” they said in a statement.

Several top publicity companies threatened to never give the shows access to their star clients again. They caved.  However, we’re told that many are still upset because ET and The Insider made it seem like Heath was doing drugs in the video.  Several stars including Scarlett Johannson, Josh Brolin and Natalie Portman also allegedly made impassioned pleas to Entertainment Tonight and The Insider, asking them not to air the video.

He was not, according to sources that have seen the full clip.

Additionally, when the shows aired a preview of the video, they showed a clip of Ledger saying, “I used to smoke five joints a day for 20 years.”

However, what they didn’t show you was that afterwards, he said , “and that’s why I got this tattoo [an M, for daughter Matilda] to remind me never to smoke weed again.”
