Vogue's October issue will feature Michelle Williams on the cover looking gorgeous and optimistic. Inside, she opens up about the dark days surrounding Heath Ledger's sudden death in January of 2008, and her struggle to acclimate to a new reality. Says the 29-year-old:

But what I don’t have to talk about is what happened between Heath and me in our relationship. Read More

The decisions were made, but Kate … Read More
