Does this mean Brooklyn is cool again?

In a September 30th article in the New York Times, titled Brooklyn's Fragile Eco-System, writer Alex Williams questioned whether Brooklyn was still "cool", now that Heath Ledger had moved out of the Brooklyn home he shared with Michelle Williams, for hipper pastures in Manhattan.

Now apparently, dear Heath has gone and croaked in Manhattan proper. Of a drug over dose in ...Mary-Kate Olsen's apartment? Wait: is she the one with the eating disorder or the drug problem--because if it's the latter that'd make some sense, I guess. But apparently, Mary-Kate was out of town and Heath was waiting for a personal masseuse to come over? Seriously. Read the article in the Times that drastically changes every four minutes. Nothing makes sense anymore. Nothing. Is Manhattan cool or not? Why is Heath hanging out alone at an Olsen twins apartment? Why did a twenty-eight year old A-list hottie need to hire someone to give him a massage?

Or wait. Maybe it does make sense. Let's see. Heath Ledger used to be partnered with Michelle Williams, Mary-Kate played half of the character of Michelle Tanner on Full House. That can't be a coincidence....

Ok, I have no clue what's going on, but I do know this. Heath may have moved out of Boerum Hill, but he died in Soho. I know this is a sad day. Seriously, it's horrible. I'm just curious if this is going to lead to a correction in the Style Section, letting us know that, because it just lost Ledger as a resident, Manhattan is slipping in the cool radar as well.

And perhaps, the whole world is a little less cool today, having lost Heath as a resident. And so we're left with an island, and a world, that is a little less cool and a whole lot sadder.

Here's to Heath. Who goes to Heaven I hope, and makes the pearly gates just a little bit cooler...
