Heath Ledger was born on April 4, 1979, in Perth, Western Australia. The son of Sally Ledger Bell, and Kim Ledger, heir to the Ledger Engineering Foundry, in addition The Sir Frank Ledger Charitable Trust is named after his great-grandfather.  Ledger attended Mary's Mount Primary School, in Gooseberry Hill and later Guildford Grammar School, where he had his first acting experiences, starring in a school production as Peter Pan at age 10.  He was smitten. “I just loved it,” he says, “and kept doing it. I blinked my eyes and I was getting paid. Doors kept opening and I kept walking through them.”

Starring in a medieval drama “Roar,” as a Celtic warrior prince; He says. “It was shot beautifully, and the script was half decent.” Co-starring as Heath’s wife was Keri Russell Heath notes. “We worked together really well. “ The show was cancelled; it won the loincloth-clad Ledger legions.

In 2001, Heath rocked his fans’ worlds in “A Knight’s Tale” as a peasant squire breaking all the rules. Heath however was the one featured on the poster for the film, with the tagline of “He Will Rock You” Heath had a riotous time filming in Prague, where the cast was encouraged to drink beer and have fun as a group. “I hope some people are drunk when they see the film as we were enormously drunk when we made it,” co-star Paul Bettany stated.

Not surprisingly, Warner Bros. has paid special attention on Ledger in the hopes that the actor will receive a posthumous nomination with their recently unveiled “For Your Consideration” ads, running in Variety. Casey wrote on November 24, 2008, “From the moment we first got a glimpse of Heath Ledger in “The Dark Knight,” moviegoers across the board knew they were watching something both special and tragic. And regardless of whether you consider him to be your favorite portrayal of the Clown Prince of Crime, one thing’s certain — Ledger’s performance definitely deserves recognition from The Academy”.

Heath’s legacy is encouraging people to sign the ONE declaration and he holds a fundraiser to help the fight against global AIDS and extreme poverty. The research shows that Heath was very passionate about supporting the ONE Campaign and Fight for Global AIDS and extreme poverty.
Heath Ledger……Will Rock You!

Born in the Liverpool, to Julia Lennon and Alfred Lennon, John Winston Lennon, during World War II and named after his grandfather, John Lennon, and Winston Churchill. Lennon’s father was a seaman and went AWOL in 1943. When his father decided to return home in 1944, he asked to come back to his wife and son, unfortunately, his mother was pregnant with another man's baby and rejected the idea. Lennon was then raised by his Aunt and lost his mother to a car crash when he was 17. Just after the death of his mother, Lennon met Paul McCartney and a few years later the beetles were formed.

John Lennon was a cool rock ‘n’ roll rebel although he died young, he will be forever cool. Of his pop-star generation, he was the most idolized; comparing The Beatles to Jesus Christ. There was such a huge fan base before he was killed on Dec. 8, 1980, that his death became a classic “I’ll never forget what I was doing when…” memory. Twenty-five years later, Variety named John Lennon “The Biggest Entertainment Act of the Past 100 Years”

Not only was he idolized for his music, but also for his political activities. Lennon’s influence is touching many modern day stars like Dixie Chicks or Kanye West. When they castigate the president or Lenny Kravitz sings an anti-war song, they are emulating Lennon’s views and beliefs. Even when Bono is lecturing on Third World debt and the African underprivileged, Lennon’s influence is everywhere.

Speaking of Bono; political activities of diplomacy earns him an invitation from President Bush to the White House. Towards the end of the Beetles era, Lennon lent the hype of his idol-status to his anti-war movement. Therefore, John Lennon, political activities of radical hippie, earned him deportation by President Nixon; due to fear that Lennon’s organization of political concerts would jeopardize re-election in 1972.

Lennon warrants activist icon status; however, the music was his passion and without the passion…Nothing else would have happened.

It's not just dead celebrities that litter the landscape of popular culture. It's their failed celebrity marriages as well. These fairy tale romances have proven to be more horror then happiness in 2010.

1. Eva Longoria & Tony Parker
The hot one from Desperate Housewives recently twitted her celebrity marriage to French basketballer Tony Parker was over. Announcing your marriage is over via twitter? Fitting really when your husband has been sending hundreds of sex pest messages to his team mates wife as well as conducting extra
marital affairs via carriage services. (and escort services?)

2. Jim Carey & Jenny McCarthy
Another celebrity common-law marriage another celebrity marriage breakdown via twitter. Back at the beginning of 2010 the Hollywood funnyman and the Hollywood funbags called it quits after 5 years together. An even bigger shame because Jenny McCarthys autistic son seemed to be a big influence on
Carey.

3. Kate Winslet & Sam Mendes
A personal favorite amongst celebrity marriages, kate winslet and Sam Mendes looked to have their shit together. Alas, in June 2010 after a seven year marriage Winslet announced she would be seeing other men, like model Louis Dowler, and Mendes announced he would be seeing her with other men too.

4. Billy Ray and Tish Cyrus
Think seven years of celebrity wedded bliss is a record how about twenty years? That's roughly how long the parents of child celebrity Miley Cyrus were together before their celebrity marriage breakdown.
Rumours of Tishs affair with Ex-poison front man Bret Michaels notwithstanding, that's a fair effort for any couple.

5.. Mel Gibson & Oksana Grigorieva
Somebody call Martin Riggs (Mel Gibson's character in the Lethal Weapon franchise) cos the real Mel Gibson has gone missing! The fallout from Gibsons mid life crisis gone critical is still being played out in the courts. Although only together officially for a year (allegations of secret celebrity adultery) they had a baby girl , Lucia, in 2009.

Usually failed celebrity marriages trot out the line "irreconcilable differences" or "amicable split" but this time Grigorieva used the line "spousal abuse" and released tapes purporting to be Gibson threatening her, verbally abusing her and physically confronting her. Involved in an obviously bitter custody suit this is one celebrity relationship breakdown that can only be described as a bust up.
