A shocking bombshell report has hit the US. Destraught actress Michelle Williams has in the past tried to get boyfriend Heath Ledger to rehab for drug abuse, but he refused and vowed to get clean himself. Sources allege Williams begged Ledger, the father of her two-year-old daughter Matilda, to seek help because he was abusing heroin, cocaine and alcohol. She even drove him to a California facility herself, but he got cold feet and told her he could beat his demons alone. Celebrity magazine Us Weekly claims Michelle tried to get him to seek help at Malibu's Promises centre in March 2006, but he broke his promise to clean up and she left him in 2007. She also demanded he be drug-tested whenever he was going to be alone with their young daughter. Ledger's substance abuse, which included "a variety of pills," was linked to depression and continued throughout and after his three-year relationship with Williams, a source said. But in recent months, the actor "had been discreetly reaching out to private counselors. He looked like a zombie A week or so before he died, he admitted he needed help. We were thrilled," said a close friend. Michelle "cried and screamed as soon as she heard" the news about Ledger in Sweden, where she was shooting a movie, a source said. When she returned to the Brooklyn, New York townhouse she bought with Ledger the following day with their daughter, she was a wreck, pals say. "She looked like she couldn't cry anymore and was very quiet. Michelle is totally devastated."

Who Is Britney's True Saviour?

splashnews_spl8330_004.jpg
Sam Lufti, Britney's manager and close confidant, is definitely pulling the punches when it comes to defending the troubled singer against Finalpixx photographer Adnan. Two nights ago Adnan was left out in the cold, after being refused entry at the gates of Britney's home, The Summit. A scenario that stemmed from a fraught argument between Sam and Spears. Reports are now surfacing that Sam boosted his hate campaign that night, with a series of harsh texts to the pap.
""Its your decision. You need to cease all contact with her completely. I've tried to work with you helping her but you didn't do as asked only way to help now is disappear. She's never been this way before."
With troubled Britney now stuck between a photographer with previous restraining orders and a manager with multiple personalities, we have to question how the stars 'mental' concerns can ever improve with her current choice of company.

Britney And Sam Still Inseparable

Despite rumors that her family is attempting to intervene in her life and cut shady hanger-on Sam Lufti or her paparazzo boyfriend Adnan Ghalib (possibly both) out of her life, Britney Spears visited a Mercedes dealership with Sam and her mom by her side but was later spotted out shopping at the Century City Mall with just Sam. She refuses to comment or say anything but she can't turn down an opportunity to expose herself and removes her jacket, revealing her see-through shirt that barely covers her breasts. If Britney is exposing herself this early in the day, we could be in for a long night. Video by Darren Banks

Justin And Drew's Red Carpet PDA

Vince Vaughn must be pissed this morning! Instead of talking about last night's premiere of Vince's 'Wild West Comedy Show' everyone is fixated on Drew Barrymore and boyfriend Justin "The Mac Guy" Long giving each other a tongue bath on the red carpet.
Getting upstaged on your own red carpet is a lot like your daughter telling you she's a successful stripper; a big kick in the balls. Videos by Hooked on Hollywood and Gary Kaplan Video LLC Pictures by London Entertainment, Octavio R Vera Jr, and KCS Presse More pics after the jump!

Gwen Stefani Pregnant!

splashnews_spl14360_016.jpg
Gwen Stefani and husband Gavin Rossdale are the latest celebrities to hop on the pregnancy wagon in an attempt to turn this blog into a fetish site with the announcement that they're pregnant with their second child.
"They and the whole family are delighted," Douglas Rossdale tells PEOPLE exclusively.
With celebrities pumping out kids at a record breaking pace, either something is in that expensive bottled water they're drinking that increases fertility or there's a secret conspiracy to repopulate the world with a race of celebrity super babies, who over time, will slowly take over the world with their sense of entitlement, connections, and makeup artists driving all of us "norms" to starve ourselves to death and spiral further into debt trying to mold ourselves into their image. Goodbye religion, hello slavery. Or they could pop out looking Rumer Willis and the world would be safe. Picture by London Entertainment
