Get ready for some high-profile headlines to be ripped from the papers for Law & Order, starting with tonight's episode about a crane accident. According to the Post, L&O doesn't really deal with "this city's crooked contractors and their shoddy half-built nightmares, sleazy inspectors and falling cranes," it just begins with a crane accident and then the investigation goes in another direction. Meanwhile, over on Page Six there's talk of (sigh) a Heath Ledger-esque Law & Order. They report that the plot "is 'supposed to be about Heath Ledger' and features a male supermodel, played by Ryan Locke, who 'has a great career and gets all the ladies.' Perhaps the eeriest comparison is to Ledger's actual death by overdose when the character 'leaves a club with a girl. They have sex and do drugs, and the next morning, his friend finds him dead.'" Next up: Joshua Walter and Gina Salamino?

I think that a full on episode about "this city's crooked contractors and their shoddy half-built nightmares, sleazy inspectors and falling cranes" would be much more interesting than a Heath Ledger episode - and more in line with the Law and Order I remember loving.
How is the Law/order story anything like what happened with Heath Ledger? Heath Ledger ACCIDENTALLY over did it with LEGAL perscription pills. He had insomnia along with jet lag.Was sick with respitory virus,also a smoker.This all combined led to him taking low doses "as perscribed" combined together so he could get some sleep.I have been on those scripts he took, non of them made me high, I just got sleepy.I doubt he was taking them to get high, more like dependant on them for sleep.He also went home ALONE.I wish he had been with someone cause maybe he would be alive.Mary kate Olsen was just a friend.NO ILLEGAL DRUGS were in his system or in his posession. Maybe Law/Order should do THAT story. Bring awareness of how we use perscription pill too much, not to get high but to get through life and that they can kill you in low doses if the circumstances are right.Dumb show that should be cancelled! BTW my sources of info are The Coroner on HL's case and Kim Ledger HL's father.NOT the stupid people on the tabloid shows and internet.
