This past year I haven't been as active on TV.com as I use to be. I've done practically everything I've wanted to do on this site and now I've decided to retire from a whole slew of guides to make way for people that come here more often than I do.

Heath Ledger was found dead in his apartment in New York Cityearly this morning. It was reported that a masseuse knocked on the door for an appointment withhim, but when no one answered, a housekeeper opened the door and found him unconscious. They shook him but when he did not respond, they called the authorities. No foul play is suspected. They found pills near his body.

Heath was 28 years old and leaves behind a 2 years old daughter, Matilda Rose.

HEATH LEDGER
1979 - 2008

Heath was one of my most favorite actors and it's so sad to hear what happened to him. I was devastated whenI heard the news and I didn't even believe that something like this could happen to a man like Heath. I will miss him dearly and my condolences to him family.

Last week my school sent home a letter talking about all the valuable paintings the school board had just discovered laying around in their schools. One of the most valuable being the one found at my school.

A board member realized that some of the schoolsin my district had some very lovely looking paintings, so he decided to look into it to see what they wereworth. Turns out some of them were worth millions of dollars. They combed all the schools looking for vaulable painting and then they stumbled into my school where they found a painting, about the size of 2 (8.5" x 11") sheets of paper in the Principal's Office.

The painting was merely propped up against the wall on top of a drawer and was painted by one of the members of the Group of Seven, a famous group of painters from Canada, named Tom Thomson.

The story of how our school came in possession of the painting says that a teacher from the school had bought itfrom Tom Thomson while he was travelling in Algonquin Park and donated to the school. Long behold 2007 comes strolling around the painting ends up being worth $1.5 - $2.0 million dollars. Another big find was in a school auditorium. It turns out the walls were lined with paintings from a famous painter and added all together, the paintings are worth $5 - $10 million dollars.

However, these paintings have since been removed and have been placed in an air tight, high security vault until they find out what they want to do with it.

In the wake of the Writers Guild of America (WGA) strike, I have learned that Lost may be reduced to 8 episodes! This is terrible news considering they've already reduced it to, if I can remember correctly, about 12 episodes. I thought this would all blow over in a few weeks and that most shows wouldn't have suffered too muchbecause they already have 4 or 5 episodes on hand. But I also learned today that the last strike WGA strike in 1988 lasted 22 WEEKS!

Although I will miss my shows, I do support the WGA strike. I always thought that writers never got a large enough piece of the pie. Without writers, there would be no show. With terrible writing, there would be no show. Shows depend so much on writers, but they treat them like !@#$.

Networks should give them what they want because they work so hard and don't get enough credit as is. Besides they make so much profit from DVD sales anyways that it should only be fair.

Eight episodes doesn't even constitute as a season.

NEW GUIDES:

James Lafferty: One Tree Hill

Poppy Montgomery: Without A Trace

Tyson Beckford: Male Supermodel

I've been busily study for tests and doing homework that I have not had much time to come on to TV.com. However, I have managed to receive 3 new guides this week after a user retired from them.

This week I became the editor for Brandon Routh (Superman in Superman Returns), Hayden Christensen (Darth Vader/Anakin Skywalker in Star Wars), and Jim Carrey (Grinch in How the Grinch Stole Christmas).

PUSHING DAISIES:The show is about a man named Ned who has the ability to touch the dead and bring them back to life. The first touch brings them back to life, but the second kills them forever. However, if the person he revives is revived for more than one minute,a random personin their proximity will die.

I'm not sure what it is but I love everything about this show! It's the best show of the new season and I can't seem to get enough of it! I love the Ned and Chuck relationship and I'm anticipating the day that Chuck find out that Ned was the reason her father died.

The fairly tale and quirkiness of the show is phenomenal and the writing is fantastic. Watch Pushing Daisies, TUESDAYS at 8pm on CTV (Canada) or WEDNESDAYS at 8pm on ABC.

I discovered an MIA Editor last week and I sent ReportMIAEditor a PM regardingthis MIA editor. They say they check their PMs every Wednesdays and Fridays, but my message has been sitting there unopened for 8 days and ReportMIAEditor hasn't logged on since July 20! I contacted danmod and he said he'd look into it but I've gotten nothing since. This editor has been MIA forever and I need this person retired! Argh!

On the flip side, I got another new Person Guide. I recently discovered a new show that I actually like. I always knew this show was around but I never watched it because in 2006, while I was watching the Golden Globes, 4 of the Desperate Housewives (Teri Hatcher, Eva Longoria, Marcia Cross, Felicity Huffman) were up against Mary-Louise Parker (Weeds) for "Best Performance by an Actress in a Television Series - Musical or Comedy." I thought, 80% chance a Desperate Housewife would win, so the chances are good, and since Desperate Housewives is one of my favorite shows, it was only naturalI'd root for the Desperate Housewives. Sadly however Mary-Louise Parker won and I was mad. I decided that I hated Weeds. I figured... "Weeds" they're totally talking about like dandelions and suburbia, what a DH wannabe. Wow, how wrong was I?!

Yesteday I was bored so I decided to give it a shot and watch Weeds. If Mary-Louise Parker can win an award over the Desperate Housewives, then it's got to be good. So I did. I watched a few episodes and it was good. Real good. It's like Desperate Housewives - Money + Pot = Weeds. I never knew pot could make a show so darn interesting. Well, anyways, ironies of all ironies, I'm now theproud Editor of Mary-Louise Parker, the woman I once despised... She's actually a very good actress and she's like 43. I thought she was like 30 something.

Haha I found some awesome Harry Potter videos on youtube today.

• This one's called 'Potter Puppet Pals in "The Mysterious Ticking Noise"' It's about "puppet show" using some of the characters from the Harry Potter books. Quite funny. Click HERE.
• And this one's a essentially clips from the Harry Potter movies dubbed with South Park voices called 'Ginger Kids'. Click HERE.
  NOTE: I have nothing wrong with"ginger" haired people. The video is just funny. DO NOT WATCH IF YOU ARE OFFENDED AND/OR INSULTED.

NEW EDITORSHIPS:

Kat Von D: Kat is a well-known tattoo artist and is considered the best at tattooing portraits. She sky-rocketed to stardom when she appeared in "Miami Ink" as a favor for Chris Garver (an employee at Miami Ink) but fans grew to like Kat and she soon became a series regular.However she was fired from "Miami Ink" after a fallout with Miami Ink co-owner, Ami James. Kat moved back to LA and has now started her own tattoo shop which is featured on a new TLC series, "LA Ink."
