HOLLYWOOD - Sarah Jessica Parker, Josh Brolin and Natalie Portman were among the stars who bombarded the producers of news show Entertainment Tonight and urged them to drop a damning Heath Ledger video.

The footage, taken at a Hollywood party in 2006, reportedly features the late actor drinking and taking drugs.

The news show aired teaser footage during its Wednesday night broadcast and producers planned to show the full tape on Thursday.

But angry phone calls from the stars and harsh criticism from Ledger's publicists made them think again--and eventually axe the news item.

In one angry open letter, Ledger's representative Mara Buxbaum wrote, "This is not journalism, it is sensationalism. It is a shameful exploitation of the lowest kind."
