Heath Ledger’s strategy for getting better roles, less female attention


Sorry if you’re a Heath Ledger fan, but he’s looking really fug. It doesn’t seem to bother his maybe-wife and the mother of his baby, Michelle Williams, as she’s still staring at him adoringly on the red carpet. Her hair is a bit of a risk, but it’s surely low-maintenance, and along with what I believe are some new features, she’s looking rather cute in that pixie cut.

Heath, on the other hand, needs to lose the caterpillar facial hair and soul patch and get a Britney ‘do. If you’re losing your hair, guys, and you’ve got a decent-shaped head, shave it off. I personally have a thing for bald and balding guys and think they’re hot with the right attitude and close-cropped haircut. Heath is an attractive, albeit arrogant-seeming guy, and he would look great in a nice short buzz cut. He’s probably cultivating the unkempt look to keep the female fans at bay, though, and it’s working.

Leo DiPorkchop gains a few lbs, while Heath doesn’t wash his hair, grows a bad moustache, and wears really ugly sunglasses. They both have their means of ensuring that their days as a teen heart throb are well behind them.

Heath and Michelle are shown at the Independent Spirit Awards, where Ryan Gosling and Shareeka Epps took home the surprise awards for best actor and actress for roles in Half Nelson, while Little Miss Sunshine won best picture, best screenplay and best director. Sarah Silverman hosted the ceremony.

    Soul patch! So that’s what it’s called! She is rather cute in a JM Barrie way.

    I think he still looks hot in some weird, yet attractive way, but that’s just because I’m a huge Heath Ledger fan, and I don’t care if he’s a perfectly shaved cowboy like in ‘Brokeback Mountain’ or a long-haired bad boy like in ’10 things I hate about you’ =P

    I’m not too fond of Michelle’s hairdo though, she looked amazingly beautiful with her long, blonde hair, so it’s a pity she cut it off.. Maybe she needs it for a film role?! And am I the only one who thinks she’s scary skinny? She’s been really skinny for years, but let’s remember the good old days at the beginning of Dawson’s Creek, where she got those chubby cheeks and that great, curvy body..

    However, just wanted to wish you a ‘happy birthday’, sort of, Celebitchy, for your site’s anniversary =) Keep up the good work and your witty commentaries – even though they hit some of my favourite actors from time to time =P

    He doesn’t do it for me even when he does wash his hair. Just not good looking. She looks good though, I don’t normally think she’s pretty either but I think she looks good here.

    HAPPY ANIVERSARY!!!

    She looks like a young Mia Farrow with the new short do.

    He’s very fug to me, but she’s cute albeit in a bitchy kind of way. I’m liking her hair, but oh, God lose the dress. It looks like something I made in high school home ec. and I wasn’t what you would call, um, talented.

  6. Maritime says:

    Alex – I totally see the Mia Farrow thing.

    Not many women can pull this hair style off (Halle Berry is one that comes to mind) but I think it really suits her. Did she really have work done?

    Topic? Heath? Meh.

    He does look fug, but he could be preparing for his role as the Joker. Maybe.

  8. Randi says:

    He’s just not aging well.

  9. xiaoecho says:

    He’s your typical Aussie bloke – thinks women adore him no matter what he looks like or does..and I’m not exagerrating ..think Rusty Crowe

    Crowe looks hot compared to Heath. I think Michelle looks very good in this Rosemary’s Baby/Twiggy cut but I hate the dress. A friend of mine thinks that Michelle smothers him and I tend to agree that she prefers him not so hot so nobody steals him away. I think she’s one of those insecure women who traps a man by getting pregnant and then worships him and plays helpless to keep him–maybe I’m being grossly unfair to her, but I get this weird vibe from her, plus all those fan-hating stories. He said that he had no clue about the pregnancy and always felt like he had to take care of her. Maybe the pressure affects his looks?

    His looks have gone downhill since he got with michelle.

  12. solange says:

    oh, michelle, what did you do? You look 10 years old now.
    Why is it people chop all their hair off and everybody suddenly thinks Mia Farrow ever looked good? A supershort male cut has always been associated with Mia Farrow in the 60s but who actually liked it? Peter Pan?

  13. FF says:

    They’re the American version of Keira and Rupert – their body language always seems to suggest they’re not that into each other but together just because.

    I mean, I don’t think I’ve seen any pictures of Heath looking at Michelle adoringly. Or hell, looking at her much in general. Weird.

    Not to mention that if most guys in a relationship become that dishevelled they at least look happy and kind of glowing when out with their lady. But that’s, of course, only if they’re happy.

    Heath who? 🙂 I am a little more worried about Michelle’s fug dress…
    she is totally rocking the Mia Farrow pixie cut though, and it suits her well.

    she reminds me of julie andrews as maria von trapp in the sound of music. which is too bad since i love michelle williams. jen was always my favorite on dawson’s creek.
