After years of what seemed like coupled bliss, Heath Ledger proved he could quit someone as he and Michelle Williams have officially split. Sources told People Magazine that "It was rocky for awhile. They did what they could to make it work."
Though it was rumored they tied the knot earlier this year in a small ceremony, the two never wore wedding bands and have refused to comment upon whether or not they are married. For now it seems like the Brooklynites have broken their bond amicably -- good news since the two have a daughter, Matilda (born while they were promoting Brokeback Mountain).
What does this mean for Brooklyn's favorite couple: will Ledger still speak in opposition of the Atlantic Yards project? Who will keep the $3.5 million brownstone on Hoyt Street in Boerum Hill? What kind of precedent will this set for other New Victorians?!

that's a shame.
3.5 for a brownstone in boerum is a ripoff. I hope they sell it and get the hell out of brooklyn. Maybe this will signal the end of the VIctorian Hipster era and hipsters will realize that they are just old and tired teenagers clinging on to fake emotion.
STRAIGHT TO THE POINT
"I can't quit you," said Jake to Heath
In the bareback Brokeback Mountain flick;
"I can quite you," Heath told Michelle.
Is it easier giving up a chick?
instead of this non story, how bout a story on the bitch sara foster at the US open?
Go James.
now you jinxed it, guest.
My prediction for next week:
Ms. Williams moves to LA.
Heath Ledger to Manhattan.
Damn Brooklyn, I really thought you had something going with these two. Still clinging on to Jennifer Connelley?
is it true michelle williams lost her virginity at age 14? sorry, I was just on imdb, hahahahahahah.
we still have brad and angelina. they're thinking about adding another one to the family.
