Wow; it seems like yesterday. It's hard to believe Heath Ledger is gone -- but Spike TV is bringing his spirit back in an upcoming documentary as part of their "I Am" series and in this installment, we get to see a more personal side of Heath that we've never seen.
The actor always had a video camera in hand, apparently, and he captured his own moments -- his own personal story told through his own lens. Spike TV's I Am Heath Ledger will premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival on April 23rd, with never-before-seen footage of the late actor who died of an accidental overdose at age 28.
Yesterday would have been Ledger's 38th birthday, so on that occasion, a trailer for the doc was released. The film includes interviews from famous friends and colleagues including Ben Harper, Brokeback Mountain director Ang Lee, Naomi Watts and the actor's sister Kate, as well as Heath's ex-girlfriend Christina Cauchi.
Harper says of his late friend, "If it wasn't the edge, it didn't interest him." Another pal, filmmaker Matt Amato says, "He wanted fame -- and then when he got it, he didn't want it."
And perhaps that was his downfall ...
I am Heath Ledger debuts on Spike TV May 17 at 10pm ET/PT. The film will be release briefly in theathers May 3.
Beyonce released an updated version of her song "Die With You" to mark her ninth anniversary with husband Jay Z, and the corresponding video is giving us a serious case of the feels!
We see Blue Ivy kiss pregnant Bey's belly, the "Lemonade" songstress and the rapper pack on the PDA on lavish vacations, clips from the couple's wedding, and much more.
It's interspersed with special quotes and messages, too!
"I don’t need air in my lunch. If I can’t sing your song,†one of the phrases reads. “I don’t really need these fingers. If I didn’t get to touch your spine,†reads another.

Thank God she found the strength to leave!
Mel B filed for a restraining order against ex Stephen Belafonte, and her reasons for doing so sound totally terrifying. According to the former Spice Girl, her estranged spouse was physically and emotionally abusive, forced her to engaged in nonconsensual threesomes with random women, and got the nanny pregnant, TMZ reports. He also secretly filmed their romps and threatened to use them against her if she ever tried to leave him. What a monster!
Brown alleges Belafonte would closed fist punch her, choke her, and throw her to the ground, and these incidents always were precipitated by big moments in her career, as a way to "beat her down" and let her know "he was in charge." Her injuries were visible on multiple occasions, and Belafonte pressured her into making up elaborate excuses. "Running in 7 inch louboutin no good!! I'm wearing Prague on my face!!!" she captioned one photo of her bruised face.
Belafonte also coerced her into having threesomes, and secretly filmed them so that if she ever filed for divorce, he would release the footage. He ended up getting the nanny pregnant, and paid her $300K to have an abortion, after suggesting that they all live together and raise the child.
For the record, Belafonte denies all the allegations.

She should rock this look all the time!
Twitter users totally lost their minds when a picture of Michelle Obama wearing her hair naturally curly surfaced on the social media site, and we can kind of see why. She looks gorg! Ask any woman and they'll tell you they barely leave home without running their tresses through a straightener first, but vacation FLOTUS bucked all those rules!
She's simply flawless no matter what she does with her locks!

She really is his mini-me!
Blac Chyna had fun playing around with the Snapchat filters yesterday, because daughter Dream wearing a Dodgers hat made her look exactly like her daddy Rob Kardashian! "Baby Rob," the former stripper captioned the photo.
The controversial couple seem to have reconciled, but we've been down this road before. He just better hope he doesn't do anything to piss her off again, because she unleashed a pretty brutal attack on her ex Tyga over unpaid child support the other week. We're slightly surprised she hasn't gone off about the fact that her attempt to trademark the name "Angela Kardashian" was rejected.
We just feel bad for their kid! She's going to be caught in the middle of her mom and dad's toxic relationship for years to come, if the past couple of months have been any indication!

Kimmy K isn't taking any chances!
Gone are the days of Kim going about her business without security, because even for a two second walk from the studio to her car yesterday, she was escorted by a beefy bodyguard. That didn't stop a random man from assaulting her on the street in Beverly Hills the night before, though!
On another note, why on Earth is the reality star wearing a bomber jacket and sweatpants? It's so hot in LA! We would normally assume she's hiding a baby bump, although now we know she can't carry any more children, so it just doesn't make any sense.
She recently admitted on an episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians that she's looking into surrogacy, but her baby dreams might be motivated by something other than a simple desire to expand her family.
“Kim wants twins via surrogacy so she can outdo Beyonce. The fact North hasn’t been invited to one play date with Blue Ivy also infuriates her. Too bad Bey has zero desire to make nice with Kim, let alone socialize the kids together," a source dished to Radar.
She better figure out a new plot line soon, because we're running out of things to write about her!
Paris Jackson totally shut down a body shaming Internet troll, after the user took the time to point out that she'd gained a bunch of weight. "F-yeah I have," she wrote back.
Almost immediately, her fans began to praise her for her body confidence and brave response. "Weight is generally a touchy subject! Unsure why it was mentioned but Paris handled it well!" one person wrote. "Yeah that's my girl!! Paris u always inspire people thanks u r great," wrote another.
In other PJ news, Michael Jackson's daughter has been spending some quality time with the Jenner ladies lately! First, she rubbed elbows with Caitlyn Jenner at the GLAAD awards, and then this past weekend she was spotted roaming the Fairfax flea market with Kendall.
She's really coming into her own in the spotlight these days.
"If you had to put her priorities in order, it would probably be acting, activism and modeling. She's passionate about all of them. Her modeling career is really taking off and you can expect some big announcements coming in the next month or so," a source dished to E! News.

Trying to throw us off course?
Kylie Jenner went about her business as usual yesterday, by hitting the studio with sister Kim for some voiceover work for Keeping Up with the Kardashians, but she also felt like sending a thinly veiled message about her current relationship with Tyga by singing along to two of his new songs on Snapchat. Either she really likes his music, or the rumors that they're on a break aren't true.
It was reported yesterday that the LipKit mogul and the rapper had called it quits, but that there was a possibility they could reconcile, as they've done multiple times in the past. We haven't seen them make any appearances on each other's social media accounts in over a month, so we were inclined to take it as true. However, this makes us think the plastic surgery princess hasn't really kicked him to the curb.
We seriously don't understand why the 19-year-old can't just let go of this romance and move on. She'd be much better off with someone that didn't have money issues and baby mama drama.
Guess we'll have to wait and see what happens next!
