Heath's "Secret Struggles" Revealed in US Weekly


The new US Weekly's cover story features quotes from a "close" source/pal/confidant close to Heath Ledger and Michelle Williams. According to the article, Williams was heartbroken throughout their three year relationship by her boyfriend's abuse of alcohol and drugs, including heroine, cocaine, and unidentified pills.

The article also claims that Williams took Ledger to Promises Treatment Center in California in early 2006, but that he refused to enter, and swore he would change and clean up his act.

Two separate sources also told US Weekly that after their split, Williams insisted that Ledger be drug-tested before his visitations with their 2-year-old daughter Matilda.

tidy



Cleaned my desktop today.... I am a note/post-it freak. I had notes left over from the middle of last year! So things are much tidier now, only two notes remain - one re: the operating hours of the High Museum and one reminder to make an appointment for Beau to go to the vet's office.

Photography-wise.... trying to find a new/fresh subject each day is hardddddd. I'm on my 5th photo-a-day year and trying to remember "Have I shot this before?" is nearly futile. Trees, cats, flowers (oh yesss, every trip to the food store results in dragging home more flowers and-you-know-how-I-love-photographing-flowers!), moi (thankfully I don't do more than one of those a week!), etc. .... now where is that amaryllis plant?

Need to write a new note - make hotel reservations for the Festival of the Photograph.

Kate Hudson Says Matthew McConaughey Will Be an Incredible Father


Kate Hudson
says that her Fool's Gold co-star Matthew McConaughey will be a great father. "I think because people see Matthew always out doing something whether out dancing in a bar or being on the beach or taking a hike with some crazy bandana on, I think that, like anything they take their image and what they want somebody else to be and then they just run with that," Hudson tells reporters. "Matthew happens to be one of the most loving people I know and his family is important to him."

One Last Look at Sundance

As Sundance wrapped up yesterday, and the celebs began to vacate Park City, here are a few pictures to remember the film festival of '08.


Paris Hilton jams on the drums at the Velvet Relvolver convert, where she played host for the evening at the 944 magazine party at TAO Park City. Hilton also thanked everyone for coming while her hit single, "Stars are Blind" was played by DJ Vice.


Paris was also seen at the Turning Leaf Lounge where a private dinner was held for her, where she invited friends to join her to discuss her new movie, The Hottie and the Nottie. Describing it as a "cute love story," the movie was not at the festival.


Also in attendance was actress and singer Taryn Manning and DJ and record producer Steve Aoki. All the guests enjoyed Turning Leaf wine during the party.


Showing up once again at Sundance, Paris and Nicky Hilton joined together and enjoyed the MySpace Nights at TAO party. With two nights of invite-only concerts, Maroon 5 and 50 Cent both performed, as well as DJ Samantha Ronson who provided music.


Cute couple Reggie Bush and Kim Kardashian enjoyed the events at Sundance as they attended the MySpace Nights at TAO party. Newly pregnant Jessica Alba and fiance Cash Warren were another couple also in attendance as they cuddled and enjoyed the performance by 50 Cent.

A Day in the Life of Strafford

After the success of last year's A Day in the Life of Tunbridge, we've been asked to go over the hill to do a project in Strafford, Vt., this coming summer. A Day in the Life of Strafford is to be held on Saturday, July 5, as a fund-raiser for the Morrill Memorial & Harris Library. I hope we have volunteers photographers returning from last year's project and newcomers as well. Click here to read more about the project. A sign-up sheet can be downloaded there as well.

Our Citycards for January are out now. Here is a selection.

Watercolor painting differs from oil & acrylic in two very important ways.... one: in watercolors - you must paint from light-to-dark and two: in watercolor painting, if you make a mistake you can't just 'paint over it'; you pretty much have to get a new sheet of paper and start over. It might seem unforgiving, but if you think about it, it's probably best to plan ahead, not rush and if you don't get it right, throw it away and get a new sheet of paper.

Britney's deposition going slow

Britney Spears's deposition is "slow going," and could drag on for multiple sessions, concedes Kevin Federline's lawyer, Mark Vincent Kaplan. Asked if the deposition could last five or more sessions, Kaplan replied, "It wouldn't surprise me." The attorney added, "There are many areas that I have not yet explored." Spears, 26, has been cross examined for a total of one hour over two sessions. (She has been late to both.) As of the second session Monday, Kaplan said he'd only completed "two percent" of his questioning, which Spears must answer while under oath. Spears's first session lasted a mere 14 minutes, and occurred just hours before her infamous Jan. 3 meltdown. The lawyer, who could not reveal specifics, is likely grilling the pop star about past drug and alcohol use, her failure to follow court orders, and anything else that pertains to her parenting. (The questioning lays the groundwork for the Spears-Federline custody trial scheduled for April.) On Thursday, Kaplan also began deposing Spears confidante Sam Lutfi, who had evaded the sit-down for months.

Jessica fights for her man

Jessica Simpson is fighting mad over a recent OK! magazine article claiming she was dumped by Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo. TMZ.com first reported that Simpson's lawyers had fired off a strongly-worded letter demanding a retraction for an article which claims Romo broke up with the singer because she was high-maintenance. The letter referred to the article as a "smear campaign." Her lawyers insist: "Mr Romo and Ms Simpson have not broken off their romantic relationship." A rep for Simpson confirms that the singer's lawyer sent a letter to OK! but had no additional comment. A source close to Simpson says, "Jess and Tony did not break up. OK!'s story was full of lies."
