For the first time, Michelle Williams is really opening up about her relationship with her late fiance, Heath Ledger. The actress graces the cover of Vogue magazine and posed for a photoshoot looking like a short-haired Mia Farrow circa Rosemary’s Baby era.
Williams verbalized her emotional state shortly after Ledger’s death by saying, “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.”
She adds, “But the magical thinking goes away too. And that’s a whole new reckoning. But every time I really miss him and wonder where he’s gone, I just look at [Mathilda Ledger.]“
Michelle fondly remembers the time in her life when everything seemed to be in sync. She says, “Brokeback Mountain was an unrepeatable moment in time, a very charmed time in my life. I was in love; I was in a movie I was proud to be a part of, and with a beautiful brand-new baby. Everything was good in that moment.”

It’s amazing what weight loss and a nose job did for Michelle Williams.

Yeah it’s ‘amazing’ alright. All that beautiful puppy fat, the fat lips, the come to bed eyes, and the ever so slightly upturned nose that made her look a little dreamy, a little detached… all gone.
She’s gone a long way, a long way down.

There is no “H” in MATILDA !!!!!!

Bitch. Stop. Using. Heath. To. Further. Your. Career. I’m an ex Michelle Williams fan. Let me say it took a while for me to open my eyes to her deceiving ways. Heath hated her and thought she was a terrible mother as she used their child to hurt him by denying him access for two months before he died which nearly-broke his heart. Thank goodness he had great friends, new girl Gemma, and his new film to keep him SANE, though if he would have had access to Matilda, maybe he wouldn’t have suffered insomnia and anxiety and wouldn’t have had to take prescription pills which ended up killing him, even though it was an accident. MICHELLE IS PARTLY TO BLAME and it really annoys me that she is playing the ‘widow’ card again now that she’s no longer with Spike Jonze. I guess magazines are not interesting in talking to her unless she speaks about Heath, but if she really was a private person, she would refuse point blank and that is that. But she doesn’t because she MILKS him and when she’s not milking him she is milking Matilda.

I don’t give a damn about this hypocrite phony Michelle who? Don’t believe a word she says. It’s obvious that Heath couldnt’ stand her and that she wanted to trap him. Not even in death can he get away from her. I feel sorry for the Ledgers and Heath’s friends. Hopefully one day, when Matilda is 18 and old enough to do what she wants, they will speak the truth about Michelle Scumbag.

If Michelle really wanted to protect Matilda and keep people less curious about her child and have people stay out of her and her daughter’s life she would keep her ‘grief’ private and not talk about her deceased ex, her lovelife with other men and her daughter at all, she should just talk about her work and promote her work and that’s it. Talking about your private life openly when your work with something involving the media, TV or film doesn’t help keep your private life private, but it does get you more PR which she is obviously all about. I was right about her all along since her DC days on WB.

You all are a disgrace. She is beautiful and what happened to her was devastating and sad. The fact that you all spend your time to talk so negatively on someone you don’t even know, is so sad. For those of you who said something negative about her and her daughter personally she has done an exceptional job keeping herself and her daughter out of the media since Heath’s death, after that she could have easily used that to her advantage by promoting with the dark knight and the academy awards but she didn’t she focused on herself and daughter and making herself better. If any of you have ever experienced death to someone you are close with and had a complicated relationship you might understand that is really not the easiest thing to handle especially while you have millions of ignorant people like yourselves judging your every move

Jenny, for your information I don’t agree with any celeb/artist/anyone who works in media and film whether male or female talking about their kids and romantic lives. She should protect her private life and the people closely involved in her life by not giving in to such interview questions and just politely decline. For her or anyone talk about such a private matter to complete strangers such as grief of someone close to her passing away(Heath) or even breaking up with someone(Spike), or about her child at all when she claims she’s protecting her is very inappropriate of her just as the people asking her the questions. That’s no one’s business but hers and of the people closely involved with her.
Michelle should simply talk about her work and promote her work. What’s wrong with just doing that? She’s shows some good talent, but no, she’s talks about her private life instead of her art, doesn’t decline questions about her private life and then gets upset when people show more interest in her, her child and her private life than her work by photographing her(her child, extended family and boyfriends) on the street or asking prying questions. She(nor anyone in the public eye) can’t have it both ways. If she doesn’t want millions of people knowing about her or wanting to delve into her private life then she should quit acting in film altogether, retire until she can truly handle it or do something else creative because I’m sure she can as she shows talent.
AND DON’T YOU DARE INSULT ME ABOUT ME BEING DISGRACEFUL AND THAT THIS ACTRESS IS BETTER THAN ME BECAUSE OF HER TRAGEDIES. MICHELLE WILLIAMS IS NOT A BETTER HUMAN BEING THAN ME OR THE NEXT AVERAGE PERSON JUST BECAUSE SHE LOST HER CHILD’s FATHER. EVERYONE IN THIS WORLD HAS HAD THEIR SHARE OF TRAGEDIES WITH BREAKUPS OR DEATHS AND NO ONE’S TRAGEDIES ARE MORE IMPORTANT NOR A BETTER HUMAN BEING OVER ANOTHER. I’ve lost plenty of boyfriends and family members to breakups, family divorces and deaths, only I won’t tell complete strangers about it for other strangers to know.
It’s people like you Jenny that buy into these perfect celebrity images and defends their hypocritical actions that you forget that you should simply look up to them for their works and that they should maintain a strong dignity in remaining quiet about their true selves and what happens in their private lives.

I sort of feel that it was a bad relationship, and no-one forced those drugs into his hands and down his throat. Seriously, the guy took ‘oxycodone, hydrocodone, diazepam, temazepam, alprazolam and doxylamine’ basically made himself toxic and died as a result. He owed it to his daughter to not misuse drugs, and he did not take that decision. Having worked with drug addicts from all backgrounds all I can say is… it is a test of character, not easy, but is always about the person and the drugs, never about outside influences. It may be sparked off by that but Heath had free will. He did not exercise it.
