Michelle Williams Wants a Piece of Heath Pie
INFDaily

Michelle Williams is worried about the parceling out of deceased love Heath Ledger's estate, according to Page Six.

Williams will reportedly boycott the July 14 premiere of Ledger's last flick, The Dark Knight, rather than face the Australian actor's family. Holy disgruntled relatives, Batman!

Heath's family will fly in for the premiere and a tribute to the actor, who died in January from "acute intoxication."

Though dead, Ledger is due to make a fortune from a back-end deal on Dark Knight.

His current will was written before the birth of his daughter with Williams, Matilda, and leaves his estate to his family.

Williams is said to be concerned that Matilda will actually receive nothing. And she hasn't seen a red cent.

In the past, Heath's father Kim was accused by his own brothers of mishandling his father's estate.

It sounds like Michelle better keep working, just in case.

Quotables /
“Michelle Williams will reportedly boycott the official premiere of deceased babydaddy Heath Ledger's last film, The Dark Knight, on July 14. Heath's family is expected to be present for some sort of tribute to the fallen star, but Williams is said to be so upset over the handling of Heath's estate that she's staying in that night.

Heath, who died of acute intoxication this past January, left a will that named his family as the beneficiaries of his estate. This will was created prior to the birth of his daughter with Williams, Matilda.”

“Remember when Heath Ledger died and his family said, "Oh yeah, don't worry. We'll take care of his kid."? Bullish shit. Turns out Michelle Williams hasn't seen a dime for daughter Matilda and is well aware that Heath's dad Kim botched the handling of his own father's estate. As an act of protest, she will not attend the premiere of The Dark Knight, according to Page Six:

An insider said, "Michelle is furious with Heath's family and threatening to boycott the premiere. Matilda is supposed to be the beneficiary of the will, but Michelle has seen nothing from them. Heath didn't have much in cash, but there was a big house in LA and a back-end deal for 'Dark Knight' [that] could reap millions."

Great. Only movie I'm looking forward to all summer and these Jokers (Jesus of comedy, people. That's me.) have to use it to publicize their money problems. Unless this is some sort of crazy viral marketing. Of course! I bet if I click on Michelle Williams eye I'll see a sweet clip of Batman punching someone. Excuse me - Taxi! New York City! But first let's stop at Staples. I need a wireless mouse that says "Jam me in the cornea of one of those Dawson kids" but also "smooth ergonomic design."”
