Hollywood lashes out at Entertainment Tonight's plans to air exclusive Heath Ledger Video

This letter has been making the rounds throughout Hollywood today on the pending showing of a video of Heath Ledger partaking in illicit activities. I am on the fence about this because I would love for the media to let him rest in peace and his family to begin the healing process, but at the same time if this were Britney Spears nobody would say a word. You get yourself into the business than you have to be able to accept the limelight and keep away from those hidden cameras. Anyways here is the letter:

Dear Friends,

Tonight Entertainment Tonight/The Insider are previewing an extremely
distasteful segment regarding Heath Ledger. The segment centers around
a two-year old video ET purchased for a large sum of money in the hopes
of stirring up a salacious and exploitive story about Heath, which would
win them big ratings on the first day of sweeps. The two outlets did not
even have the courtesy to wait until after Heath's burial to broadcast
this segment. They intend to air the full segment tomorrow.

For the sake of his grieving family and friends, his child, and common
decency, we hope to pressure Entertainment Tonight and The Insider to do
the right thing and pull the spot. This is not journalism, it is
sensationalism. It is a shameful exploitation of the lowest kind, to a
talented and gentle soul, undeserving of such treatment.

We are asking the Hollywood community to pressure Entertainment Tonight
to pull the segment. Please take action so that Heath's family can
grieve in peace. Please forward this message to everyone you know and
ask them to personally call Linda Bell Blue at Entertainment Tonight and
Brad Bessey at Paramount to express their outrage and request
Entertainment Tonight to pull the distasteful spot. Their information is
listed below. Thank you.
