...and why is it ok to splash pixs of Amy Winehouse smoking crack all over the place, but not ok to show vid of Heath. I don't get it - why is okay for one celeb but not the other.

And while I am on a high horse - why do they want to keep it secret - wouldn't his death do a little bit of good if it served as a small example of what happens when you do drugs. (and yes - I am making the assumption that he overdosed, because that is what happened).

Ok, enough of that climbing down off my high horse.

To clarify - I'm with you Musto - show the tape!

Right on, MustoFan! I raise a glass (of juice) to you!

PS: Even if--as some claim--the video only shows Heath being uncomfortable at the party and saying he doesn't do pot anymore, then all the more reason to air it!

I think the problem with the tape in most people's minds was the way ET was sensationalizing it, implying that it showed Heath using drugs, when in fact, he wasn't. Maybe if their promo blurb had made it clear the tape was actually produced a couple years ago by paparazzi setting up a sting by faking friendship and a fake party, it might have had more value too.

Innuendo instead of facts... the downfall of journalism these days.

What about the way they air the footage of Britney smashing around in her car going in and out of Starbucks and public restrooms half dressed? Talk about bad taste.

PS: Britney has children as well and clearly suffers from mental illness.

Musto,
I raise a diet coke with lime to you!
Diet coke with lime is the only thing that you are addicted to.
PS. Must be hard being a gay icon.
Spill it!

Classy, hating on someone who hasn't been buried yet. You're no better than Ted Casablanca & Westboro Church.

Heath doesn't do drugs in the video but maybe it's because he finally realized they were taping him and thought better of it. But he definitely was doing drugs at the party, why else would he be there?
