NEW YORK — Actor Heath Ledger was found dead Tuesday of a possible drug overdose in a Lower Manhattan apartment, the New York Police Department said.

Possible drug overdose, possible suicide! Oh dear . . . another blow to the theory that being rich and/or famous is the ticket to happiness.

I think most famous actors — not all, obviously — are convinced that they can do things that nobody else can do, that they’re not cardboard people who are adored for no reason.

Tom Cruise, for example, I don’t think will ever commit suicide.

Oh well . . .

Tom Cruise says wife number three has to be funny, honest

— AFP headline

As opposed to the rest of us, who would be looking for humorless liars, if we weren’t still hanging in there with our first wives.

I ask you — who is stupider: Tom Cruise or the people whose job it is to follow him around and write this crap down?
