Welcome to another beautiful day, here's what's up on air:

    - Heath Ledger has died.  You'll get one more chance to see him on screen, his role as The Joker in Batman: The Dark Knight  for this summer has already been completed.

    - Oh yeah, the Oscar nominations came down today.  On my "gotta see it now" list: La Vie En Rose, Juno, There Will Be Blood and No Country For Old Men.

    - So know that we know what to see, who wants a 2 for 1 Movie Coupon??

    - Something I do believe: Britney is tipping off the paparazzi.
    - Something I don't believe: Adnan Ghalib did his interview with ET for free.

    - La Senza is recalling some lingerie because it's made with lead paint flammable! Still, don't lick the lingerie!

    - Did you lose your glove? Find it here.

    - Louis Vuitton has adjusted their color palette. No more brown, it's all about graphite/black.  Alert your favourite knock off addicts.

The Blog According to Buzz. Spread the word, ya heard?

Jerry O’Connell, aka Mr Rebecca Romijn, takes a shot at Tom Cruise’s crazy Scientology video.

It’s on FunnyOrDie, the site that brought us Will Ferrell’s crazy landlord last summer.

So is Heath Ledger.

Actor Heath Ledger was found dead Tuesday at a downtown Manhattan residence in what authorities say is a possible drug-related death, the NYPD said. He was 28. [source]

Yes, I always get my drug overdose celebrity death news from the Wall Street Journal.

If you want a more celeb focussed approach, check out Pop Crunch.

It’s a tragic death that will be milked for the rest of the week on ET and happened in enough time to kick Britney off the cover of the weekend tabloids.

Facebook and blogs are covered with laments already. Personally, I think it’s Darwin at his finest.. drugs kill, mess with a bull and the horns will get you .. but that’s not my concern…

How did you find out about this news? Surfing on a website? Email alert? Facebook status update? Text message? Twitter? A friend told you? The radio?

Or will you read about it for the first time in a newspaper tomorrow.

This is a world where when news breaks, it breaks fast. I found out from a friend who just heard Sarah Bartok mention it on 95Crave. When I logged in to Twitter, it was all over the tweets.

So how did you find out? Did the internets win this war of breaking news, or did word of mouth get to you first?
