The Gold Digger

  • A Return to "Brokeback Mountain"

    Can Heath Ledger not quit "Brokeback Mountain"? OK Magazine is reporting that he's in negotiations to star in a sequel. But wait. Perez Hilton is reporting--if you count what Perez does as reporting--that OK's reporting is not OK, and that no sequel is planned. As much as we hate to admit it, we're siding with Perez. The GoldDigger interviewed Ledger about a rumored "Brokeback" sequel last spring, and this is what he said:

    The GoldDigger: I read Annie Proulx is working on a "Brokeback Mountain" sequel.

    Heath Ledger: Oh my god, that's hilarious.

    Would you do a "Brokeback Mountain" sequel?

    I don't think anyone would do the "Brokeback Mountain" sequel. I don't think there should be a sequel.

    Jake could come back from the dead.

    Or maybe he really didn't die.


    That pretty much settles the debate, don't you think? Ledger then went on to tackle another timeless question. How do you pronounce the GoldDigger's real name? "I was thinking Ramen Noodles," he said. "But I didn't make that joke purposefully, because I figured you would have heard that a million times." In case you were wondering: Yes. We have.
