Robert Pattinson defends Heath Ledger

ledgerpattinsonRobert Pattinson is my new favorite person.  Robert attended a comedy show at the No on H8 show at The ­Improv in Hollywood on Dec. 16 where apparently a comedian thought it would be funny to joke about the death of Heath Ledger.

Robert boo’ed at the “comic” who said, “Here’s my impression of Heath Ledger,” then collapsed and began faking convulsions.  Wow, so not funny dude!

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

I can’t wait till the name of the “comic” is released. He will get seriously bashed!
