She's on the right side of Ledger
By PHILLIP KOCH
HOME-grown hunk Heath Ledger appears to have found
love again – this time in the arms of a beautiful
English model on assignment in Australia.
The model, an English rose known only as Victoria,was
seen kissing and cuddling the blond new prince of
Hollywood in Sydney on Thursday.
"He looked completely smitten," said one observer,
who saw the pair canoodling in the bar at W Hotel
in Woolloomooloo on Wednesday night.
It marks a new romantic beginning for the star of A
Knight's Tale, who broke up with Boogie Nights siren
Heather Graham – after she was spotted with someone
else in a New York nightclub earlier this year.
Ledger, who has spent the past fortnight in Sydney,
has delighted star-spotters at Bondi Beach,
with almost daily visits to the famous strip of sand.
And he has rarely been without his new companion, a
dark-haired beauty, who seems to share his passion for
dressing down in grunge-style rags.
The Sunday Telegraph spotted the pair in Bondi on
Wednesday and Thursday, and locals report it is the
beautiful couple's favourite breakfast destination.
But they haven't restricted their recreation to cafes –
Ledger has also been spotted dining with Victoria at
Bel Mondo in The Rocks.
The pair were also at Hemmisphere, hotelier Justin
Hemmes' exclusive city club, a week ago and have also
enjoyed the view from Bridge Bar at East
Circular Quay.
Victoria, in Australia on assignment with Vivien's
modelling agency, has found time to squeeze in some work.

Heath's Old Flame
You see, I was more than enthused the other night when the bountifully buxom Heather Graham walked in the door of the disgustingly happening Les Deux Cafe. City of the Fallen Relationships.
This was right around the same time Julia's ex Ben Bratt and his former coworker Jill Hennessy came into the poppin' place with a small party of their own. I declare--just who's gettin' over whom?
Back to H.G.: She was surrounded by a gaggle of not overly ga-ga guy- pals as she hung outside on the packed patio--the place to masticate 'n' misbehave at the eatery. Looking lovingly lickable, the Boogie Nights blondie wore a navy, flowered dress and matching Adidas flip-flops--admittedly, not her best look to date--with bright red lipstick to complete her perky package. All the while, Heather-babe stuck close to one dirty-esque dude who was also in sandals.
(You know what they say--same shoes, same sheets. Or maybe that's just moi who says that, can't remember.)
Then a hush came over the trendy hot spot. Whispers replaced raucous laughter. The kind of reverent tones usually reserved for the death of an animal star (never human) could be heard throughout the room, like the din of medium-priced wholesale flatware.
Finally, an overeager member of the Industry establishment quietly stammered to one of her journalist pals (yours truly): "Guess...who just...walked in the door."
"Alec Baldwin, asking for my table?" I replied in vain.
"No! Heath Ledger," she squealed softly. "The ex!"
Ahhh. I knew the evening was getting good.
The Aussie hunk (going oh-so-incognito in a brightly colored hippie- style hat) was also joined by some male--and female--mates. I watched with curiosity as the two gorgeous H-groups played a game of kangaroo and mouse, as it were.
Heather and her crew headed inside while Heath hung in the (more groovin') garden area. A few minutes later, the buxom beauty was back, dancing on the porch outside while her ex sat at an inside table for a time. And back and forth it went, just like relationships do in this ersatz environ.
Alas, hunky Heath proved once again that he only has eyes for the comely Heather-puss. Even though he was surrounded by some adoring lady look-a-roos, I dare say the boy's not quite over the Austin Powers accessory.
Why? Because of this:
There are some simply exquisite shrubs at Les Deux, dividing the restaurant's various sections. This foliage is thick, leafy 'n' green. In other words, it's a brushy barricade that's hell to peek through.
But peek through it Mr. L. did, right smack at his former lady love (who was shaking her toned tush with glorious abandon).
Mind you, this wasn't some casual glance through a happenstance opening. Branches were bullied apart, darlings. And Heathums didn't look too happy, either.
We'll just cast aside any thoughts of whether or not this tells us anything about who cut off whom, won't we? Instead, I think we should concentrate on whether or not H.L. is having second thoughts--maybe it's not too late to try again?
After all, doesn't love mean never having to say you're shrubby?

Heath Ledger's Suicide Shocker
Australian heart-throb Heath Ledger saw a man commit suicide from the 10th floor of his London hotel. The Patriot, The (2000) star was staying at the trendy MET HOTEL when the depressed man flung himself out of the window.
Heath says, "This guy landed right outside my window. I looked out and saw him lying there by where all the air-conditioning units are. He was fully mangled. No one had seen it. I looked up and could see the chair he'd put on his balcony to stand on. Then the death squad arrived and were standing around and just laughing. They had obviously seen this before. "
