Michelle Williams & Spike Jonze Step Out
Director Spike Jonze keeps his arm wrapped around actress girlfriend Michelle Williams after a romantic dinner in Brooklyn on Saturday. The couple was also spotted getting cozy together in L.A. earlier this month.
Michelle, 27, and Spike, 38, met when Michelle auditioned for Where the Wild Things Are, which Spike directed. Jonze recently produced the actress’ upcoming film Synecdoche, New York.
Jonze, who was last romantically linked to Drew Barrymore, was previously married to fellow filmmaker Sofia Coppola — they called it quits in 2003.

firstt!!
regards from chile!
awwwwww its nice to see her move on with her life
…..` disgusting bish.
she’s covering her face cause she feels ashamed..
… never liked her.
Not sure what you think she has to be ashamed of? Good for her. There’s nothing wrong with her moving on with her life.
good for them
I’m glad she’s moving on, but I miss Heath. They were so cute together. <3
Good to see her out and about with someone new. She was broken up with Heath at the time of his death and he probably put her through hell beforehand.
you’re right LD no one can repleace Heath :(
But at least she has to try to move on it’s not good to live in the past..
moving on too quickly, eewww
she’s covering her face because she hates getting her picture taken. she has nothing to be ashamed of you judgmental twat, get back into your cage. she hasn’t had a serious relationship in one year she deserves to be happy.
ugh. i NEVER liked her. even when she was on dawsons creek.
heath ledger was way too good for her.
she is ashamed lol otherwise she wouldnt be covering her face….she NEVER does so why start now?
How is she moving on too quickly?? she broke off things with heath ledger like October/november 2007…its been a lot of months now, honey. She’s not going to stay single forever you know, its her life and she needs to start seeing ppl!
Apparently the guy is a bad husband. Just watch Lost in Translation. I think that was a big F-CK YOU to Spike Jones from Sofia Coppola.
good for her!!!
Ah, so they ARE dating. Much happiness to them both.
heath ledger was a junkie he wasn’t too good for anybody.
I think she is covering up her face because she dislikes the paps. There is nothing for her to be ashamed of.
I hope she is happy with him.
Great for her!!!It’s not like she’s getting married she’s just starting to go out and find some happiness.I adore her and was sorry when she got separated from heath but come on, before he sadly passed away he went out with lots of women and at that time she was never seen with a guy!!She can’t mourn forever because it’s not healthy for her or her daughter.Mathilda needs a happy mom!
and she covers her face beacuse she always hated paparazzis ,just search for older pics and you will notice the habit.
she always covers her face in paparazzi pictures, not just here.
she and heath were broken up way before his death. they announced they were broken up late 2007 but she has said that they were broken up long before they announced it.
before heath died he was linked to like 15 girls and michelle was alone. she hasn’t done anything wrong ,its not her fault her daughter doesn’t have a father. she’s moving on with her life. we didn’t know heath so you can’t really say that she didn’t deserve him. i’m sure he would have wanted her to be happy.
so stop judging her.
always been mean so nothing new from her
Michelle has moved on with with her life. Unlike Chinnifer Maniston (who you all love so much) Michelle isn’t moping around about her ex.
It feels a bit strange to see her without Heath.
But I’m not judging her. If see is ready to move one, then I respect that. But I hope she keeps Heath alive for her little girl. Matilda needs some love from her regarding her father.
But I think she does that :).
I’m happy for her.

leave her alone!
She’s so cute and an excellent actress, too. It’s good to see that the majority agree that it’s good that she’s moved on. She did split with Heath Ledger nearly a year ago (late August). It’s not as if they were a couple when he died.
Who are you to judge?
“Apparently the guy is a bad husband. Just watch Lost in Translation. I think that was a big F-CK YOU to Spike Jones from Sofia Coppola.”
—————
What the hell is that supposed to mean? They split in 2003, the same time the film was released, it had nothing to do with Lost in Translation. I also never saw any undertones suggesting Jonze was a bad husband?
1) Michelle Williams split from heath ledger months before he died because of his partying and drug habits, which would undoubtly affect their child.
2) Michelle Williams HATES the papparrazi
3) If she didn’t cover her face, this photo will be on all the tabloid magazine covers come next week, so it was a good idea to cover her face.
4) Ashamed of what exactly? That she is moving on and starting a steady relationship??
good for her <3
heath ledger was way too good for her.
Exactly.
Their on-set hook up wouldn’t have lasted more than a few months hadn’t she tried to trap him by getting pregnant but alas, it didn’t work.
She has every right to date and anyway they broke up almost a year before his death. But she’s a ***** who thinks so much of herself. Honey if you weren’t Heath Ledger’s baby momma nobody would care about your ass.
ahh… yes, “lost in translation” is a big slap in the face to spike. they were together when she was making the film, and even if they were not, the character is still based on him. and the dumb blonde character was based on cameron diaz, who comes across as a crass, stupid actress.
i think it’s great that michelle is moving on, i just don’t know if i trust spike. he seems like an opportunist. he dated sofia, married her, i don’t think her last name hurt and now off of all of the publicity of heath. i don’t know, maybe there’s nothing there, but i think he is attracted to a type of fame that certain women bring.
I’m not a fan of her. There was something about her I didn’t care for when she was WITH Heath, and I never thought they would last. I mean OK. She did Dawson’s Creek. But she wasn’t in the same league with Heath. Who really heard of her so much before she went with him? Once she lines up picture jobs with Hugh Jackman and then Martin Scorcese and Leo, they break-up. Right this minute I am thrilled to pieces that Matilda is here, but when she came up pregnant in this day and age, I got very suspicious of her. Then she keeps Matilda in Sweden for Christmas and he goes to Australia, from here in London. Why didn’t she let him be with his baby for Christmas? It’s not so far at all from London to Sweden. He could have stayed in a different hotel just to spend time with Matilda.
We talk about Heath being bad, and I’m sure he was a handful, but I don’t think she is a prize either. Not at all. I find all the “Poor Michelle” stuff rubbish. I hope sweet Matilda isn’t subject to lots of different “uncles” as she is growing up. That child needs a happy, kind person who is there for her. Michelle better be thinking of this baby she got and not only herself. Spike sounds like he has made the rounds.

I completely agree.
Moving on too fast?
Is that a joke?
They broke up months before his death.
She deserves to move on with her life! she doesn’t deserve getting bashed over it!
Good for Michelle. So happy for her. : )
First of all when heith ledger died they were far from over, so why she is a *****? He is dead and she is alive, and they were done months before.
She got great movie offers because of Heath?
O H P L E A S E !
She got Brokeback mountain before she even got together with Heath!
And the offers after was because of her oscar nomination!!!!!!!
SHE GOT TO WHERE SHE IS, ON HER OWN!

Actually, I would care about Michelle if it weren’t for Ledger’s death. She’s a talented actress. Who are you to say that she cares about only herself? She has a daughter and seems to devote a lot of time to her.
Very well put, Anon.
Only losers hate. She’s just a woman like any other woman who is a single mother. She’s an academy award nominated actress and has someone new in her life. End of story. Some of you people are ridiculous.

Are you insinuating that Michelle only got movie offers because of Heath’s death? *****, please! Not only was she cast AFTER she broke up with Heath Ledger, she has been around longer than Heath Ledger and has made better films than Heath Ledger.
I loved Heath Ledger, but it was only recently that he got great film roles post-Brokeback Mountain. Before that he had A Knight’s Tale, The Sin Eater, The Four Feathers and Ned Kelly. They weren’t very good. Granted he was in 10 Things… and Monster’s Ball, but in no way did Michelle suddenly just get noticed because she was with Heath. Ever heard of the little show Dawson’s Creek, too?
“Not only was she cast AFTER she broke up with Heath Ledger, she has been around longer than Heath Ledger and has made better films than Heath Ledger.”
Next you’re gonna say she’s a better actor that Heath Ledger. Yeah right, pffft!
“Ever heard of the little show Dawson’s Creek, too?”
Yeah cause a shi**y little show like that would get you to work with the likes of Scorsese, Philip Seymour Hoffman, DiCaprio, etc. Dude get with the program!
gosh i did like her at the time she was on dawson creek…… and i never really heard of her until she was with heath…and i gotta admit it, personally i could never, ever move on after a man like heath O.O good for her, i think she shouldn’t live in the past, thats not good at all. Moving on is the only way out so….good for her. but heath was definitely the best……maybe imitated but NEVER DUPLICATED
half the people posting on this thread are so pathetic.
stop judging someone you don’t know — you don’t know her, you didn’t know heath, you didn’t know anything about their relationship, you don’t know what she went through after his death, and you don’t know anything about her and anyone new she might be connected with.
stop deciding for michelle what she should be doing, if she was too good for heath, if she got movie roles because of him — instead, why don’t you focus on your OWN pathetic ******* lives, okay?
even if michelle wasn’t in the “same league” as far as movie roles and acting went, that DOES NOT MEAN ON ANY GROUNDS that he couldn’t date her. he can date WHOEVER he wants — a doctor, a salesclerk, a singer — she doesn’t have to be some top-notch actress, and personally i liked seeing him with someone not just because of status and name.
but when you talk about something you know NOTHING about, it just makes you look stupid, so i’d suggest just keeping your mouths shut if you don’t have anything worthwhile to say.

———————————————————————————————-
People who actually care to go to movies others than the blockbusters.I took notice of her in the indie flick **** (and was not alone) way before she met Ledger.A small guy in the business called Wim Wenders obviously heard of her too since he gave her a difficult and touching role in Land of Plenty.
isabella - STFD and stop telling people what to say or do, yeah?
they split way before heath passed away
it’s def. great to see her move on with her life
Why were the pictures removed?
now that she is dating spike, her image will be bad. she is a weird woman. who really doesn’t care heath and will be a bad mom
All you Heath lovers need to get a grip. She was the love of his life, no one else ever mattered to him as much as she did. And you don’t “trap” a guy with pregnancy anymore, either — Heath was ECSTATIC to be a daddy. All of you are so enamored of a drug addict that you aren’t thinking realistically.
Heath’s parents knew that Heath had done her wrong and were still very friendly with Michelle after the breakup. Obviously, she still loved him but his drug use was out of control and his mood swings were no good for Matilda.
Good for her to be out and about. Her talent has shown and her lack of desire for the tabloid fame of some, her refusal to speak about Heath and exploit his misfortunes, her private life being kept private — this all speaks well of her. I’ve not been a fan, but she carries herself with class.
Also, she covers her face because the flashbulbs are difficult to see through. Obviously, you people have never been near all those photogs and don’t know what it’s like. It’s a natural reaction to shield the eyes.
MESSAGE FOR MICHELLE WILLIAMS:
MESSAGE FOR MICHELLE WILLIAMS:
MESSAGE FOR MICHELLE WILLIAMS:
HEY MICHELLE DON’T FORGET THAT MATILDA IS A LEDGER SO SHE DESERVES TO BE WITH HEATH’S FAMILLY TOO. IF YOU DON’T DO THAT THAT S MEAN YOU ARE SELFISH AND THINK JUST ABOUT YOURSELF NOT MATILDA.
@remember da truth
I’m sure you know the truth. NOT.
What makes her the love of his life, getting pregnant with his kid??? Heath loved Matilda more than anything but that doesn’t mean her mom was his one true love. His relationships with his other girlfriends lasted as long as his relationship with Michelle so the only thing that makes her more special than them is that she’s his baby mama.
She covers her face because she doesn’t want to be photographed with her new squeeze, proof - her people probably “asked” Jared to take down the pix. Am I right, JJ?
Michelle got pregnant on purpose. and Heath did the right thing by her. Don’t forget, he just got sacked by Naomi Watts. Heath was no angel. Michelle was a very pretty, she was a very sexy rebound romance. If you want to know the real love of his life it was Naomi. He never got over her. Never. He was hot for Michelle at first, and he tried, but they had nothing in common. Michelle is a very ambitious person. It was the whole image she was projecting. Ang Lee, Oscar nomination, being with Heath, also Oscar nominated, the image Michelle projected is a big part of what made people like Martin Scorcese notice her. It isn’t only about talent. It is also about your image, your connections, your total package. By having his baby, she thought she would stay connected to Heath forever, no matter if they were together. Heath was crazy over the moon about having a baby and she used that against him. Please do not make this girl a saint. She is not. I am tired of all the poor Michelle stuff I keep reading. People talking about how hard it is for her, etc. I feel bad for Spike Jonze because he apparently is attracted to difficult, selfish women. Sophia Coppola is not a nice person. She is a little princess who doesn’t know a lot about directing, but has a father who helps her and lots of good people to make her look good.
Anon #32
you’re 100 % right, as usually.
michelle williams is not perfect at all. everybody blame heath ledger, but not michelle. this girl is mysterious and very private. I’am sure that she hurt heath ledger.
she is famous because of Heath ledger. if she move on with another guy why she don’t move broklyn. this is the house of heath not of her.
I HATE HER NOW ,SHE IS A ***** AND VERY SELFISH. MATILDA DOESN’T DESERVES A MOTHER LIKE THAT.
SHE WILL BE THE NEXT KATE HUDSON. A VERY ***** WHO WANT TO **** WITH MANY GUYS AND SELFISH WITH MATILDA. I’AM HAPPY THAT HEATH BROKE UP WITH THIS UGLY STUPID MICHELLE.

This bears repeating. Well said, Anon.
I knew that people will said that. it’s really fast that she moves on. I don’t think that it’s a great idea that she dating spike. her career of actress will be ruined because of that.
NOW SHE HAS A BAD IMAGE . BAD MOTHER
gossh leave her alone! she deserves to be happy. michelle w. is a great actress.
ah darn, i would’ve liked to see those photos.
they make a cute looking couple!
why were the images removed?
What the hell is that supposed to mean? They split in 2003, the same time the film was released, it had nothing to do with Lost in Translation. I also never saw any undertones suggesting Jonze was a bad husband?
______________________________________________________
Regina. Its well documented that Lost in Translation was written by Sofia at the time when she was having major issues with him when they were in Japan. Also, Anna’s character in the film is supposedly based on Cameron Diaz during the time she was doing promotional work for Charlie’s Angels in Japan, and people have been trying to figure out who is supposed to be Bill Murray’s character. People think it may be Harrison Ford because he was supposedly staying in the same hotel as they were and was filming a commercial in Japan. Sofia doesn’t deny that Lost in Translation is a bit of a roman a clef.
why she needs a boyfriend to move on??????? matilda,her familly and heath’s familly is not enough?????
maybe she wants always to make love or what.
boyfriends makes many problems
#52 - Bullshyt! She owes the Ledgers nothing. If they aren’t going to give the child her rightful inheritance, then Michelle shouldn’t give them any access to her kid.
Michelle is the type of woman who always needs a man. I hope she’s a good mother to Matilda, that little girl hardly ever looks happy.
“that little girl hardly ever looks happy.”
I know, she never smiles. :(
“I know, she never smiles.”
No, she hardly ever does. I’ve a weird feeling. I hope I’m wrong and everything’s ok.
Heath was a male ho-bag, but that’s acceptable. *eye roll*
The weird people this site attracts. Stop acting like you know Michelle. She’ll be the next Kate Hudson? She’s been with one person since she split up with Ledger a YEAR AGO and she’ll be the next Kate Hudson? It’s not as if Hudson herself is ******.
Stop praising these talentless Disney actors and start praising this wonderful actress!
Amanda, after Michelle split with Heath she dated a director, now she’s with Spike another director.
Er, no she wasn’t. I’d like to see some valid proof other than saying ‘this director’.
Both of their careers took off about the same time. Before Brokeback Mountain Heath ledger wasn’t an A-list star you didn’t see him in a major leading role, same goes for Micelle Williams. People weren’t looking at Heath Ledger and saying “wow that guy is a great actor”, he might have been popular because many girls thought he was good looking, but nobody was thinking “Oscar potential”. My point is, that people shouldn’t say the only reason Michelle Williams is getting work is because of Heath Ledger. True, she is in the spotlight more than ever now, because she is his widow but because of their performances in Brokeback Mountain their careers were both taken to another level.
In terms of their personal lives, well, that’s their personal business. It’s one thing to comment about their careers because that’s public, but their life, is their life. Who are we to say what’s right for them?
Oh, bless her. It’s nice to see her out. She’s beautiful and deserves all the happiness in the world. Screw all you haters!
i agree with Tia, i never liked her º,º
Anon, what are you talking about Naomi was his great love?!?! Are you freaking serious? This is the woman he continually broke up with, broke her heart with his cheating on her, and made it clear he didn’t want to commit to her even though she made it clear that marriage and children were what she wanted.
Once she was cleanly away from Heath, she found a decent man and is happily building a family with him. Heath didn’t want Naomi!! He was not pining for her when he got together with Michelle. And as much as he didn’t want kids with Naomi, he was thrilled when Michelle got pregnant. FROM HIS OWN MOUTH, about both women!
Read all the interviews and stop projecting your own wishes onto Heath.
Michelle isn’t keeping Matilda from Heath’s family. His family lives in Australia! You people are BIZARRE!! Saying she’s selfish because she puts up with Heath’s drugginess and sleeping around, then quietly raises Matilda on her own, and a year after the separation is dating someone?!?!
Get a life of your own. Heath wouldn’t have you if he were still alive, so get over it.
I’am so degusted that she moves on with this guy. he is so old and really bad man. she dated with old man before Heath and now she begin again dating with old man. this girl has really not style. even she broke up with Heath she will never find someone as him never. heath is the one and will always be. I’am pretty sure that this relationship with spike will not lasted
I don’t really care one way or another about Michelle Williams. What I want to know is what’s so great about her that she gets Heath Ledger and now Spike Jonze. I love both those men.
spike is ugly and hate children he is use to date michelle williams to be famous. because michelle was with heath.
he is a s h i t and michelle williams a b i t c h
You people on here leaving such mean comments are ********. Michelle owes nothing to Heath and to be honest Michelle was WAY to good for Heath he wasn’t god’s gift to women. No way, she broke up with him for a very good reason and deserves to be happy with whomever she wants. “She got pregnant on purpose?!” LOL She’s really not the type of person who would ever do that. So I call bullshit! It takes two to tango Heath loved her dearly so you people need to get over it! It’s been a year since they have been together and 7 months since he’s died. She has every right to move on. And the fact that people on here are saying that Naomi was his true love is stupid and pathetic. How long have they been broken up?! Jeez. Michelle is a good person and a great mom if Heath were still here he would want her to be happy. Heath fans should want that too.
Michelle seems to be one of those girls who can’t live without c-ck, so I’m not surprised about her now with Spike. In England it was said that she had a fling with a certain costar while shooting The Incendiary. It is also said that Heath and her were virtually more off than on for most of 2006 and 2007, and that he is the one that dumped her. I think he went into a deep depression after losing Naomi Watts, I really do, and he just wasn’t thinking straight when he let himself be tricked into an accidental pregnancy with Michelle, who had nothing to lose by it.
- Michelle seems to be one of those girls who can’t live without c-ck,
IS THAT A BAD THING?
LOL He went into a deep depression when he lost Naomi Watts thats ******* hilarious!!! Such bullshit, the man is dead dumb **** #84 and all you other losers bitching Michelle out for moving on are all stupid. Bullshit she had a fling when she was in London. I would think Heath would have been the one cheating. NOT Michelle but I really doubt they both would.
One year is nothing….she broke up with Heath before his death but he was Matilda’s father…..more respect for her daughter, she’s only 3 years old….she deserve to be happy but does she want to involve in another relationship so quickly?? is it necessary???
