While Michelle Williams herself is still believed to be en route to New York from Sweden with two-year-old Matilda and the family nanny, her mother and best friend have arrived in the city to console her when she arrives. The best friend in question is actress Busy Philipps, who used to star in Dawson’s Creek with Michelle, as Katie Holmes’s college roommate Audrey – she’s godmother to Heath and Michelle’s daughter, Matilda (while Heath’s Brokeback Mountain co-star Jake Gyllenhaal is godfather). Busy, and Michelle’s mum Carla, arrived at the home Heath and Michelle once shared in Brooklyn in the early hours of this morning, New York time. They both looked visibly shaken as they got out of a limousine and entered the house to wait for Michelle. According to sources at the airport in Sweden, Michelle was “so quiet” and “in her own world” as she waited to board her flight back to the US. We can’t even begin to imagine how the poor girl must be feeling.
