'ET' /'The Insider' Pay Large Amount Of Money For, Then Slowly Back Away From Alleged Heath Ledger Drug Video
An allegedly shocking video of Heath Ledger attending a "Hollywood drug party" (or as such an event is more commonly referred to in Los Angeles, "a party") at the Chateau Marmont following the 2006 SAG awards, which may prove conclusively that the recently deceased actor has been in the same room as cocaine and may have discussed his own chilling marijuana use, has surfaced.
Australia's Channel 9 will reportedly air the footage tonight, but relentlessly scrupulous American celebrity newsmagazine shows ET and The Insider, despite having paid a rumored $200,000 for rights to the clip and having teased their expensive exclusive yesterday, have announced that they won't run "the video which has been circulating in the world media" (read: devalued) "out of respect" (read: probably not that good anyway) for Ledger's family; not only should this compassionate decision serve to alleviate any residual guilt over their six-figure impulse buy, but it will spare Insider host and noted Hollywood party-goer Pat O'Brien from having to feign dismay about what actually takes place at these depraved show-business bacchanals. The above Insider clip shows one of the aforementioned teases; inevitably, Celebrity Rehab's Dr. Drew makes a cameo, offering his trademarked basic-cable-addiction-specialist compassion in response to the breaking news.
