Heath Ledger overdose...the plot thickens!

Wow- It sounds like little Mary-Kate was somehow involved in this drug overdose!

Damn shame, I saw the Batman movie this weekend. He played a great part as the Joker

[NoNoNanette]

The kid was truly brilliant, wasn't he? I've heard such raves about his Joker character. What a tragic loss.

Maybe some of his prescriptions belonged to her. It's amazing how these celebs come up with so many prescription drugs. If there was one doc prescribing that much for one person, the doc should be held responsible.

[NoNoNanette]

Laura-

If you're right, I hope that the Feds make an example out of both her and the prescribing doctor. :whip:

So many celebrities feel that they're above the law.... it's starting to really bug me. :shootself:

[justagirl]

It may 'bug' you but it can and does kill them.

[NoNoNanette]

:confused::confused::confused:

Which is why I'd like to make an example out of 'em.

Not just these two.... OJ Simpson is getting ready to go back on trial in Vegas. All but 1 of his co-defenders has flipped and entered plea deals.

OJ is the perfect example of a celebrity who holds himself above the law.

Yeah.... it bugs me.

Miller, Olsen's attorney issued the following statement Monday afternoon: "Despite tabloid speculation, Mary-Kate Olsen had nothing whatsoever to do with the drugs found in Heath Ledger's home or his body, and she does not know where he obtained them. Regarding the Government's investigation, at Ms. Olsen's request, we have provided the Government with relevant information including facts in the chronology of events surrounding Mr. Ledger's death and the fact that Ms. Olsen does not know the source of the drugs Mr. Ledger consumed. We don't know the source of the information being quoted in the media regarding the Government's inquiry, but these descriptions are incomplete and inaccurate."

Government sources told ABC News that investigators have run down "every legitimate lead" on where Ledger might have obtained the OxyContin. Now, in light of her refusal to cooperate, investigators are focused on whether Olsen may have supplied the potent pills to Ledger.

Is this the anorexic twin or her sister.

[Alex]

May be he got the Oxy from Limbaugh...

[justagirl]

Nanette, I didn't mean to sound 'curt', I know it's annoying these celebs think they can change the rules to fit their needs. But it's dangerous and we see over and over again how dangerous it is.

Also makes me wonder why they think we care who they vote for and support. The day I start taking voting advice from Alec Baldwin...just shoot me while you move him to Canada.

Sorry, I just re-read that when I say your :confused:s and realized I sounded curt. That was not my intentnion.

I don't read People, I don't watch TMZ and frankly I don't really care because their lives are not my 'real' life...and I like my life way better than reading about theirs.

[NoNoNanette]

Good to hear that, JAG. Thanks for the thoughtful reply. :)

What has she done in order to need immunity???

[NoNoNanette]

What has she done in order to need immunity???

That's what the feds are wondering.

She came out today denying anything to do with his death.

BTW: Keep the facts coming. Feng is obsessing about this thread as we speak.:laughup:

[NoNoNanette]

More for FENG:

Attorney Joseph Tacopina — who does not represent Olsen — told The Post, "If the feds won't give her immunity, then they suspect she had some involvement."

LOL - Feng: always good for entertainment.

[cstoehr]

That is the truth!

Sounds like they're going to play hard-ball. Good for 'em!

Guess Mary-Kate Olsen hasn't given officials all the "relevant information" they needed in the Heath Ledger case after all.

Days after a formal statement from the twin's rep proclaiming her innocence and insisting Olsen has fully cooperated with the Drug Enforcement Administration's investigation into how Ledger obtained medications sans prescription, E! News has confirmed that a subpoena with the star's name on it is ready and waiting to be delivered.

"It was dated and signed on April 23, but it has not been enforced yet," says a federal law-enforcement source, denying reports circulating earlier today that Olsen had already been served.

"We are still in negotiations. There are still negotiations with Mary-Kate's lawyer and also with our U.S. Attorney's Office, the prosecutors."

Should negotiations with Team Olsen fall through, the subpoena will be issued requiring the former Full Houser to be queried in front of a grand jury. Should she cooperate, as her attorney says she has been, there will be no need for the strong-arm tactics.

DEA officials are trying to determine where and how the late Ledger obtained prescriptions for OxyContin and Vicodin. The onetime Oscar nominee died of an accidental overdose on Jan. 22.

Olsen was the first person called by the masseuse who discovered Ledger's body, leading her to dispatch her security team to the Manhattan apartment.

Earlier this week, sources confirmed that Olsen was refusing to cooperate with the federal probe unless she was granted immunity in the case—something the feds say is not on the table.

But the news prompted a statement from Olsen's attorney.

"Despite tabloid speculation, Mary-Kate Olsen has nothing whatsoever to do with the drugs found in Heath Ledger's home or his body, and does not know where he obtained them," Michael C. Miller said Monday.

While Miller did not address the reports that Olsen was seeking immunity from the feds, he did call descriptions of the investigation "incomplete and inaccurate."

[cstoehr]

Today's paper has the Feds dropping the investigation.

[NoNoNanette]

Gawd, how I'd love to know WHY she was asking for immunity.

If it would have been any of us, they would have pulled us in for questioning so fast that our heads would spin. Luckily for Mary Kate, she's a "celebrity". :rolleyes:
