ET to Air Video of Heath Ledger Doing Cocaine

Fresh from my inbox:

Entertainment Tonight and The Insider have purchased exclusive rights to tragic video footage of Heath Ledger allegedly snorting cocaine at a party two years ago.

The footage, which PageSix.com hears was bought for $200,000, was shot without Heath’s knowledge, at the Chateau Marmont hotel in L.A. following the SAG awards on January 29, 2006.

In the video, Heath is shown talking while at a private party after sniffing a cocaine-like substance off a table with a rolled up bill in his hand. As he speaks, his face noticeably twitches.

An insider tells PageSix.com that Heath says at one point, “I’m gonna get so much shit from my girlfriend. We have a baby together. Matilda, Matilda Rose.”

ET and The Insider planned to show the clip later this week. PageSix.com understands this is now “under review.”

Honestly?

$200K sounds a little low for that footage.

Someone isn’t quite so adept at exploiting human tragedy.

  • It is not necessary to air this kind of footage. It is an invasion of privacy … it has only exploitational value, no legal value, no human value. Heath Ledger is dead and gone, a human being whatever he has done. Again it is not necessary to do this.

  • I saw snippets of it on ET tonight and I agree with JK & Sonetto they need to just let the main rest in peace instead of digging up all of his old dirt.

  • Damn; what vultures. That was two years ago. How do they know anything was still going on with him? Why do that to him now? I used to think they weren’t as bad as some but their just as screwed up as the rest.

    Let the man rest, people. Give his family some semblance of dignity.

    Pricks.

  • I want to see this footage…come on…I want to see the real Heath. The Heath that was….even if changed before he died. I hate when people idolize stars so much that they don’t want to see them in reality…they way that they were/ are. They probably won’t show it….they just want people to watch their shows…ratings people…ratings..

    Oh…I agree $200,000 is REALLY low for that kind of footage…

  • I mean if he did od well thats what happens ya know… lets not forget brad renfro people he died a week before heath!!!!
