Faces of Death
No one ever said the paparazzi were tasteful (far from it!), but sometimes they still manage to surprise us with their indelicate lensing. Like the photos of Michelle Williams that are floating around today. The images show Williams, who had a relationship (and a child) with now deceased actor Heath Ledger, walking past, get this!, a skeleton. The fake set of bones is being used in a film shoot or something. OMG, because her ex-boyfriend just died! Poetry! If you're curious about what sadness looks like, a photo lies after the jump.

So poignant! [NYT]
