Heath Ledger Tribute Planned

Heath Ledger's friends and family have approved plans for a one-off tribute event for the late actor to mark the third anniversary of his tragic death.

The Brokeback Mountain star passed away on January 22nd, 2008 after suffering an accidental overdose at his New York apartment.

Ledger's father, Kim, has now confirmed a charity gala will be held in the actor's honor in his native Australia in early February.

The event, titled "Heath: A Night Under the Stars Celebrating One of Its Finest," will showcase the star's Academy Award-winning turn in The Dark Knight and the proceeds will be handed to a performing arts organisation.

A statement from Kim Ledger reads, "We the Ledger family confirm our approval and endorsement for the one time only Heath tribute night and are pleased donations from the proceeds will benefit Telethon, His Majesty's Theatre Foundation & Australians in Film."

Ledger's Casanova co-star Sienna Miller and his friend, supermodel Gemma Ward, are expected to appear at the event, which will be held on February 12th in Perth.

Coming Soon: The Mysteries of Pittsburgh

The Mysteries of Pittsburgh, based on the 1988 Michael Chabon novel, played at Sundance this year and will get limited release at the end of the month.

Art (Jon Foster) is stuck in Pittsburgh for the summer with his off-and-on girlfriend (Mina Suvari) and his overbearing mobster dad (Nick Nolte). His mundane life sucks until he meets Sienna Miller and her lusty criminal boyfriend, Cleveland (Peter Sarsgaard). As the summer heats up, so does their association, eventually drawing once straight-laced Art into a lover's triangle.

Will there be any insinutation or actual gay relationship in this movie. Who knows since the trailer leaves us wanting for me details?

Look for the limited released moview in select theatres throughout the US.
