We’re still a few weeks away from the anniversary of actor Heath Ledger’s tragic death, but there’s no need to wait to praise this UsMagazine.com article. Actually, the praise goes to the subject of the article, Robert Pattinson – the Twilight star who portrays every female’s favorite crookedly-smiling immortal, Edward Cullen.

As if he needs an introduction.

Swoon.

Anyway, according to the article Pattinson had quite the negative reaction to an unnamed comedian’s “impression of Heath Ledger” at a No on H8 show at The ­Improv in Hollywood back in December – an impression that involved the comedian collapsing on the floor and faking convulsions.

“Robert and his friend went nuts yelling at him,” the source tells Us Weekly. “[Pattinson screamed] f–k you! You suck!”

Before his death, which resulted from an overdose of medications used for insomnia, depression, anxiety, and pain and was ruled an accidental overdose due to prescription medication abuse, Ledger was reportedly experiencing some serious sleep problems and racing thoughts he claimed were somewhat related to his then-upcoming movie, The Dark Knight.

I really cannot wrap my brain around what this comedian thought would be funny about an impression of someone overdosing and dying. Ledger was a young father, talented actor, and loved by so many. What’s funny about losing him so tragically? What’s comical about the way he died?

Not a thing. And yay for you, Pattinson, for letting him know.
