Heath Ledger did not have a brother (as far as we know) and so I must jump to a semi-conclusion. Is... Heath Ledger alive? Because, you guys, this fellow sitting in the Henry Street Ale House last night, at a table in the window with a girl? I have never seen anyone ever who looked so disturbingly identical to someone else. He had kinda unfortunate blond Point Break/Prince Valiant hair, not unlike one of Heath Ledger's many bad hair moments. His face seriously was identical. I know this is messed up but 1. I was not alone and the person with me was like, dude, why is Heath Ledger here? There was gasping. And 2. This was quite near the epicenter of previous Heath Ledger sightings, so it felt normal to see Fake Heath Ledger-so normal that it felt like seeing Real Heath Ledger. Have you seen this guy out and about in Brooklyn? Why hasn't Google-Face-Buzz-Space invented the terrifying face identifier Internet searching software yet so I can find him? And... well, what if it's vampire Heath Ledger? Do we have to stake him? UPDATE: Associate Editor Dave Bry saw him as well! On Grand Street, in Manhattan, yesterday-wearing a hoodie. What is going on???

You know, I don't think this is too soon after all.
You guys don't really want to work for Denton again, do you?
No way. This "story" is hardly sourced, plus Choire and Balk don't fit into the legitimate news-breaking reportorial world of Gawker Media.
And they do not have fancy phones with cameras.
denton, i caaant quit youuu...
I can relate. I once saw a man who looked IDENTICAL to my father. I was living on The Cape, and one day left work to grab lunch. There he was. I actually went up to him to ask why he hadn't come to see me, when I realized it wasn't my dad. I had to tell the guy why I was looking at him in such a way. It was FREAKY!!
What you think Christopher Nolan DOESN'T have access to cloning technology?
Heath Ledger is the new Jim Morrison/Elvis/Caligula/etc.?
The next time somebody sees him, check if he has an Australian accent. Then we will have the makings of a genuine Elvis sighting.
If it's not Heath Ledger being secretly alive, that's even more disturbing because it means someone is going around intentionally looking like Heath Ledger and spraying saltwater hair product in his hair and hanging out in the places where Heath Ledger hung out. Which is actually macabre.
OH MY GOD SOMEONE BLEW UP A HYDROGEN BOMB ON TOP OF MARY-KATE OLSEN AND NOW HEATH IS OK!!!
I am not sure this would work but I am willing to try it.
Ashley, please! Don't get me wrong, I mean her no harm, but if we had to choose one twin to save with the umbilical chord blood, the world needs MK.
Oh God. What if we are in the boring parallel world and not in the right, interesting one???
The boring parallel world where everybody's hair is wrong! (PROOF)
Dave Bry, your writing stands on its own merits. You do not have to humor Choire every time he has a dead celebrity sighting. This is not the National Enquirer.
You guys have an "Associate Editor" now? Does that mean he's getting paid?
LOL God no.
I always thought that was Cat's title.
The emotional comfort that comes from sharing notes on dead celebrity sightings is MORE THAN ENOUGH reward for this job.
You owe the world an apology for not taking his picture!
What is the reason that you did not photograph him with your phone?
To preserve the magic?
Heath Ledger has actually always been The Count of St. Germain.
Also: Time Travel.
Are you sure it wasn't a deflated Val Kilmer?
Batman and Joker always were two sides of the same coin.
Dunno. Never thought he actually died.
Maybe you guys are Ghost Whisperers.
Does no one remember? A couple years back on that Time Out New York thing where they interview a random person they interviewed this guy who looked just like Heath Ledger and he said yeah he got that all the time and he was an actor/singer/douchebag of some sort and in fact he had ghoulishly gone and busked with his guitar in front of Ledger's apartment just as soon as he heard he'd died. (The interviewer's response was "Exploitative Much?"). It's probably that guy and I wouldn't be surprised if he was hanging out at Heath Ledger's haunts on purpose, which is indeed macabre.
I saw Liz Smith and Ann Richards eating fish tacos at El Rio Grande.
This 'Heath Ledger' twin sat next to me at the Brooklyn free clinic. He said his name was Troy, but goes by Roy-Tay when the sun goes down. Be on the lookout.
