The last known photograph of Heath Ledger alive was taken Saturday night in London on the set of The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, the latest project from wildly talented yet notoriously cursed director Terry Gilliam. The auteur, who got his start as part of the esteemed Monty Python troupe, has suffered perhaps the worst streak of luck for any director not named Uwe Boll. His pockmarked career will, unfortunately, likely be remembered more for his role on big budget disasters like The Adventures Of Baron Munchausen and The Brothers Grimm (with Ledger in lead) than it will for creative triumphs like Brazil and The Fisher King. And then, there was the sad story of Gilliam's Don Quixote project, which was felled by floods and bad casting and subsequently turned into the total downer documentary Lost In La Mancha. As for the fate of The Imaginarium Of Doctor Parnassus (not to be confused with Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium), we are awaiting word.

Amid your sympathy for America's abused celebrities, who starve themselves to stay beautiful or binge to blot out the noise, spare a thought for the poor paparazzi. Britney Spears is suing one, and sleeping with another; four more were arrested yesterday. This rather mild New Zealand photographer experienced the famous wrath of Bjork, the Icelandic singer-songwriter. The latest victim of a crazed celebrity: a photographer outside the New York hospital to which Gwyneth Paltrow was admitted, who was attacked by her husband, Coldplay frontman Chris Martin. New York Post is hosting the video. Hit the thumb for the frame-by-frame, as Martin grabs the paparazzo, pushes him to the ground, and grabs his camera. (And remember: it's your clicks that pit celebrity against photographer.)
