Heath Ledger’s 2-year-old daughter Matilda Rose will inherit Heath’s entire $16.6 million estate, according to Perth, Australia’s Sunday Times.

The Dark Knight star — who died last January of a prescription drug overdose at the age of 28 — had named his parents and sisters as the beneficiaries in his will.

But the will was made before the birth of his daughter. Some reports speculated that Heath’s ex Michelle Williams would lodge a claim.

But Heath’s father Kim tells Perth’s Sunday Times, “There is no claim. Our family has gifted everything to Matilda.”

In March, Kim issued a statement: “Matilda is an absolute priority and Michelle is an integral part of our family. They will be taken care of and that’s how Heath would want it to be.”

Both Michelle and Heath’s families recently pledged to contribute an undisclosed amount to a scholarship to help emerging Australian actors and honor the memory of Heath.

Applications are available online and will be accepted from October 1st to November 28th, with the first beneficiary to be announced by mid-February.

Hmmm…Heath’s family didn’t “gift” anything to Matilda…they simply chose not to fight for the money in the courts.

Barack Obama faces new criticism on abortion.

Johnny Depp, Colin Farrell and Jude Law have donated their earnings from new movie ‘The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus’ to Heath Ledger’s daughter Matilda.

The actors – who replaced Heath following his death from an accidental prescription drugs overdose in January – wanted to give their money to Heath’s two-year-old daughter with actress Michelle Williams to ensure she has a secure future.

The movie’s director Terry Gilliam said: “The three actors were totally heroic coming in. This doesn’t happen very often - where there’s a tragedy like this, and very famous, very successful actors suddenly say, ‘OK, we’ll do whatever it takes to help.’

“They came, they did the work, they allowed the movie to be finished, they didn’t take money – the money goes to Heath’s daughter. That’s extraordinary!

“I am so glad these guys are so humble. That’s why they make a great addition to the film. It will be bittersweet seeing this movie knowing he was filming it only days before he died. This picture still hurts to see because as we all know he did die a couple of days after this picture was taken. My thoughts will always be with Heath.”

Johnny, Colin and Jude will all play Heath’s character Tony as he is transported into three separate dimensions, which he accesses via a paranormal mirror belonging to a travelling theatre troupe.

That’s so awesome of these guys!

Actress Busy Philipps and her husband, writer Marc Silverstein, are expecting their first child.

“We found out today it’s a little girl!” the former Dawson’s Creek star, 29, told Us magazine Tuesday at the Los Angeles opening of BLT Steak restaurant.

She is about five months along.

“I feel great!” she shared of being pregnant. “I’ve had, like, no morning sickness!”

Busy — who is godmother of Michelle Williams’ daughter, Matilda — says she may get some of the celeb tot’s hand-me-downs.

“Michelle’s going to send me a lot of stuff!” she said. “We’re very close.”

But Busy says Michelle won’t be her daughter’s godmother.

“She has her hands full with being a mother right now,” Busy told Us magazine.

She has called on Cloverfield star Lizzy Caplan to take on the duty.

“I’ve known her for a million years!” Busy said. “The cool thing about giving someone the godmother title is that it’s sort of practice for their own baby.”

Best Wishes!

The Oscars will air live tonight at 5PT/8ET. I used to watch them every now and then, but I am not THAT into them or anything. I checked out the nominations for the heck of it and hadn’t really seen ANY of the movies! I really wanted to see Juno and Atonement and hopefully will soon, I tried to watch Gone Baby Gone just a few days ago upon hearing a lot of people talk about it. People were getting into deep discussions over what they would have done. So I was curious and I like Ben Affleck (he directed the film) so I really wanted to see it, but it was SOOOO depressing and just too much to stomach. The little girl looked so much like little Madeleine McCann and that was just too much to take. My kids though have seen Ratatouille and loved it, so I hope that wins for Animated Feature Film. :)

Anyway, The Barbara Walters Special looks good. I know that Miley Cyrus will be on it. I am too old to understand that phenomenon, but it certainly does seem to be quite a phenomenon! The other people that Barbara will be sitting down with will be Ellen Page (the star of Juno), Vanessa Williams and Harrison Ford.

Note: Please don’t get mad at me for the picture of Heath and Michelle. I didn’t want to use a generic picture of the Oscar golden statue…I thought this pic of Heath and Michelle at the 2006 Oscars was so sweet.

Before Heath Ledger’s tragic death last month, Michelle Williams sat down with British magazine Wonderland. The issue has just hit newsstands.

In the interview, Michelle, 27, briefly opens up about her split from Heath, as well as how daughter Matilda, 2, has changed her life.

Eerily, she also talks about shooting a movie, where she pays a woman grieving over the loss of her husband.

ON SPLITTING WITH HEATH

“When you’re in a relationship with somebody who is also a public personality then it doubles the attention from the media. When you minus that equation it’s just less enticing. That’s been a real bonus. It’s the plus side of the break-up for me. It was so pervading, it got bad there for a while. Every time I walk out of the door I still worry. That’s what is so silly about it: even if the paparazzi aren’t there, you wonder if they are. I’m not good at that stuff. I need to get better at it. It really used to affect me.”

ON HOW MOTHERHOOD HAS CHANGED HER

“I feel like I didn’t have any relationship with my body before Matilda. Well, I did, but it was just a bad one. After having my daughter I can’t judge myself in the same way. My body has done this totally miraculous but utterly ordinary thing. The downside is that my vocabulary has shrunk to the size of a pea. Since having a kid I just don’t have the same access to the world. I don’t see as many shows, I don’t go to many movies and I hardly read any books anymore. I’m lucky to make it through a book a month. So you start to develop in a much more non-verbal way, which can be so frustrating. Also there’s been a lot going on in my personal life and part of me is… I don’t know. I shouldn’t talk about it but it’s like I’m re-emerging back into the world or something.”

ON BALANCING WORK AND MOTHERHOOD

“It’s not easy. Last April I was over in London doing a movie called Incendiary with Ewan McGregor. It’s about a woman grieving after losing her husband and son in a terrorist attack. It was a brutal role and arduous: six-day weeks, 14 hour-days. I was like the walking dead towards the end. Matilda would visit me everyday on-set for lunch and I’d race home to put her to bed. My only days off were Sundays and as much as I’d want to pass out, I’d try to take her out somewhere fun so she didn’t associate me with boredom. The only time that is really my own these days is after I’ve put her to bed and until I go to bed. That’s about two hours.”

ON LOOKING FORWARD TO HER 30s

“I don’t really have a concept of my 30s. Obviously so much has changed for me in the last few months that I don’t really have an idea of what my life is going to be. I thought I knew certain things and it turned out that I didn’t so I don’t really try and anticipate so much anymore. I’m not making any bets on the future. I feel like I’m just starting to catch up to my age. 27 years old sounds about right now. For a long time I didn’t really relate to my age because I was working so much when I was 16 and I had a child at 24. I always felt way too young for my situation. Now it’s starting to even out.”

ON BEING A WORKAHOLIC

“Sometimes I wonder but I’m very happy at home just reading a book or pottering about. I love domestic life. I’m really my mother’s daughter. I like needlepoint, folding laundry and baking bread. I can be happy doing that stuff for a long time. But right now the work is so good and the opportunities are so remarkable - they’re what I’ve always hoped for - that it’s hard to pass up. You always wonder how long the good roles will keep coming.”

ON BEING AN INTROVERT

“It’s a generalization but actors are either extroverts or introverts, it’s true. I’ve been thinking a lot recently about why I act because I think of myself as more of an introvert. I embarrass easily. I have such problems with people looking at me. So I think, ‘Why do I do this to myself? Why do I do something so public?’ But I never expected it to be this public. It does seem like a funny choice for somebody who doesn’t really like attention.”

ON GROWING UP ON TV

“I was 16 when I started. It’s a strange record to have of those awkward years. It was a very important time for my personal development. When I came onto that show I didn’t have any taste or values. Doing that show gave me self-esteem and my work ethic. But, weirdly enough, it also gave me some privacy to develop my ideas about who I was as an actress and what I did and did not want to do.”

ON SKIPPING KATIE HOLMES’ WEDDING

“Everybody wants to know that. No, I didn’t go because I was working on The Tourist. To be honest, we’re not really in touch.”
