Last week, a Direct TV ad featuring a dead Chris Farley was met with a lot of negative attention. This week, Landline TV brings us some more ads featuring dead celebrities.
Heath Ledger shot this video for Australian rap duo No Fixed Abode’s “Cause An Effect” on a single camera in his Sydney garage shortly before his death. It looks like it was inspired by the Joker and/or Klaus Nomi.
Heath Ledger was about halfway through filming The Imaginarium Of Doctor Parnassus when he died. This newly released trailer shows that the studio replaced the actor with Johnny Depp, Jude Law & Colin Farrell. [via]
Before his untimely death, Heath Ledger began directing a video for Modest Mouse's “King Rat”. Unfortunately he died before the video was completed, and it has been languishing in limbo until now. Watch Ledger's music video, completed by his associates at the Masses, a violently unabashed commentary on illegal whale hunting.

Everyone and their infant child wanted to be The Joker last Halloween. Why so horrible? Go home, Sexy Joker.
This is definitely one of the weirdest dogs I've ever seen. What the heck is going on here?! Here's what: if you took Heath Ledger's impersonation of the Joker, zapped him with a dog-morphing ray gun and pressed fast forward, you'd end up with something like this animal. I also think I heard “Turn me on, dead man” in there somewhere…
Celebrity Buzz The estate of Heath Ledger has decided to go ahead with the restaurant that Ledger had been involved with before his death. The restaurant, tentatively called the Five Leaves, will be on the Bedford Avenue on the border of Greenpoint and Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Seeing as how Ledger’s partner John McCormick is also one of the people behind Manhattan’s exclusive Beatrice Inn it will be interesting to see if any of us Williamsburg residents can actually get in.
Movie Buzz As more reviews of The Dark Knight keep rolling in, Heath Ledger as the Joker is getting all the attention. Peter Travers’ review in Rolling Stone kicked off the Oscar chatter, but most other people who’ve seen the movie seem to agree that Leger is amazing in the role.
Movie Buzz The new, Heath Ledger-inspired version of the Joker doll has been selling out in New York. Collectors are making it hard for the kiddies to get a hold of one of these — apparently to drive up the prices of the dolls online.
Celebrity Buzz Insider and Entertainment Tonight pull back from airing “shocking” footage of Ledger talking about drugs at a party in Hollywood. Stretched connection alert: The party was at the same bungalow were John Belushi OD’ed! In the footage, Heath apparently refers to having smoked a lot of weed in the past. OMG! Both Insider and ET aired sensational teasers last night, then released announcements they wouldn’t show the full tape “out of respect for the family.”
