Good thoughts to Heath Ledger's girls

Jakegylle_mca_7218077_600

Sadder than the world's loss of a talented actor is a young child's loss of her devoted father.

But Heath Ledger's 2-year-old daughter, Matilda, will have a great godfather in his "Brokeback Mountain" costar and close friend, Jake Gyllenhaal.

Jake, Heath and Matilda's mom, Michelle Williams, bonded on the set of their Academy Award-winning film. Jake's sister, Maggie, also became close to Ledger during the filming of "The Dark Knight."

She and Peter Sarsgaard have a young daughter, Ramona, 1, and have a Brooklyn brownstone nine blocks away from the Hoyt Street abode that Heath and Michelle once shared.

They're sure to be very protective and supportive of both of Heath's girls.

May god Bless Matilda, Michelle and Heath's Family. I know there is life after death and I am sure Heath is watching over all thepeople that that he cared about. It saddens me to think that there are so many young people in Hollywood that couldn't care less about life and that is why this is a real tragedy. Heath was one of my favorite actors. God bless you Heath I know you can see all the lover that everyone has for you! Rest in Peace.

Yes, great news that. I hope Britney can be her godmother. But I think Ashlee Olsen has dibs. Shame, really.
