A video taken at a SAG Awards after party in 2006 shows Heath Ledger talking to other celebrities admitting he smoked 5 joints a day for 20 years… he also says his girlfriend is going to kill him because they just had a baby three months ago, and it apparently shows a man snorting drugs off a table.

UPDATE: I found part of the promo – it’s worth watching. 

Here are a few screen shots I found on the NY Daily News website… You can click the link for the rest of the story.

A TV station in Australia is set to run the video tonight despite an uproar from the Hollywood community… Entertainment Tonight was also going to run the video but they decided not to for now – even though they supposedly paid $200,000 for it.

We’ll see… I mean, if the guy smoked a bunch of weed, so what… I don’t necessarily condone that, but it doesn’t mean he overdosed or killed himself by any means.  Even if he did some coke – which I definitely despise – it doesn’t mean he overdosed or killed himself.  The most likely explanation to me – he was sick, couldn’t rest, and took medications he shouldn’t have been taking together and it had tragic consequences… but from what we’ve learned of him it just doesn’t seem like he was a serious drug addict or someone who wanted out.  Just the fact that he was on that video acknowledging that he should be upstairs with his girl and baby shows he had a conscience about it… Of course the people closest to him know the truth – I’m sure Michelle Williams, Jake, whoever he was closest to, know in their hearts what went wrong but we’ll never know.

I just think it is really sick how all these news agencies are doing everything in their power to beef up the scandal side of it…
