Heath Ledger's bewildering death in January at age 28 left his Hollywood friends both shocked and bereft. At the Australians in Film 2008 Breakthrough Awards in Beverly Hills, the community in which Ledger found a home decided to give back in his name, reports People magazine. Gregor Jordan, the late actor's friend and director of Ledger's 1999 film "Two Hands," remembered Heath's generosity as he announced the creation of the Heath Ledger Scholarship Fund to help struggling Australian actors -- each year giving one young Aussie actor a chance to make it in Hollywood. "It's going to involve a number of benefactors and there's been a lot of interest already," the director explained. "I was talking to Michelle Williams, his partner and the mother of his child, and Michelle has said she would be very proud and happy to be the first benefactor." Heath will be seen as The Joker in "The Dark Knight," opening July 18.

She has never talked about it before….

Until now!

Alanis Morissette caused an Internet sensation when she decided to do a stripped-down, piano-only version of the Black Eyed Peas' My Humps.

And, she even made a hilarious video for it, which has now been seen on YouTube by almost 15 million people.

When the song and video first hit the Net, Alanis was hounded for interviews about it but she refused to discuss it.

She wanted to let it speak for itself and let us interpret it as we may.

Well, Miz Morissette is finally shedding some light into what lead her to make her lovely lady lumps homage.

The Canadian singer explains to the new issue of The Advocate:

There are 15 different interpretations, and they’re all true. Some of it is me not being precious at all. I was in the studio with Guy Sigsworth and he would say, “What horse from the apocalypse are you bringing in today, Alanis?” Because every song was this tsunami of emotions. So I said, “I wish I could just write a really simple song—a song like ‘My Humps.’ ” Then we had a pregnant pause, looked at each other, and said, “All right, let’s do it!” Within moments we were recording the piano version of it, and within a week we were shooting the video in my garage here at my house. However it’s been interpreted has been entertaining for me to watch.

And there you have it.

Douchebag Nick Hogan has been transferred out of solitary confinement, where he was being held….for his own safety!

The little bitchboy has been moved into a new cell he is sharing with three other juveniles, also in jail.

The decision was routine, sheriff's officials said, and apparently unrelated to Bollea's request to be transferred, which a judge rejected earlier this week.

It was "the result of routine and ongoing assessments of inmate population and classification; and the opportunity to house those juveniles who have been sentenced as adults to county time,” according to a sheriff's office statement.

We hope Nick Enjoys his new jail cell.

He's supposed to be there for at least another seven months, and that dirtbag better not be released early!!!!!!!
