Interestingly, Mary-Kate Olsen is also the only acquaintance of Heath’s refusing to talk to federal investigators. According to The Daily Mail MK is demanding “immunity from prosecution” before she’ll give any details about his death to the feds. Investigators believe the powerful painkiller [on which Heath overdosed] may have been obtained illegally and are desperate to find out where it came from. They contacted Olsen’s lawyer asking for the star’s help, but he has reportedly not allowed her to talk unless she is given immunity from prosecution. Everyone else connected to Heath has been interviewed by federal investigators. Everyone except Mary-Kate, who has refused to speak. Jeez, guilty much? Of course, once the media got a hold of this little tidbit, Olsen’s attorney issued the following statement: “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. Ms. Olsen does not know the source of the drugs Mr. Ledger consumed. These descriptions are incomplete and inaccurate.” Perhaps when under federal review, her decision to send her bodyguard instead of paramedics might be construed as “monumentally stupid” and “the final nail in his coffin.” Not to mention the all the decency laws she’s broken over the years wearing clothing that asinine. I’m sure there’s a substantial fine and mandatory jail time for those glasses at least.rapvirusWed, 06 Aug 2008 00:00:24 -0700http://www.blabberstar.com/news/view/mary-kate-wants-immunityhttp://www.blabberstar.com/news/view/5143http://www.blabberstar.com/news/view/5143Mary-Kate Olsen claims she doesn’t know where Heath Ledger got the drugs that killed him, her attorney says in a statement. MK, 22, believes she has already provided investigators with enough “relevant information” but the New York Post has reported she is refusing to talk to federal investigators about Heath’s death until she is granted immunity from prosecution. Her lawyer Michael C. Miller said, “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.”rapvirusTue, 05 Aug 2008 00:35:28 -0700http://www.blabberstar.com/news/view/mary-kate-comments-on-heath-ledger-s-deathhttp://www.blabberstar.com/news/view/3910http://www.blabberstar.com/news/view/3910Rob Knox, 18, was killed when he got into a fight on Saturday night, May 24, 2008.

"It was an honor to work with him, and I think that he'll always be in people's thoughts," Ledger's Brokeback Mountain costar Kate Mara, who played his older daughter, told PEOPLE at a Beverly Hills event for the Kenneth Cole Awareness Fund. "I think he affected people that he'd never met before." In Australia, the Ledger family kept a low profile, and there were no notices in the local papers in memoriam. rapvirusSat, 05 Apr 2008 02:04:33 -0700http://www.blabberstar.com/news/view/friends-remember-heath-ledger-on-his-29th-birthdayhttp://www.blabberstar.com/news/view/2503http://www.blabberstar.com/news/view/2503Jason Rae, 31, a saxophonist, and husband of British soul singer Corrine Bailey Rae, died in Leeds.

And he also left a movie role unfinished. The film’s director has subsequently recruited Colin Farell as one of the fill-ins for the late actor in the upcoming flick “Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus.” Farell arrived in Vancouver, Canada on Tuesday to begin filming the new movie, a task for which he had mixed feelings about signing on. Back in February he told press, “It makes me feel uncomfortable to think about it too much and get into it really here but it’s an incredibly painful honor to have, you know, and an honor I wish I wasn’t bestowed but an honor nonetheless.”rapvirusFri, 14 Mar 2008 00:18:18 -0700http://www.blabberstar.com/news/view/colin-farrell-covering-for-heath-ledgerhttp://www.blabberstar.com/news/view/1755http://www.blabberstar.com/news/view/1755Slovenia's former President Janez Drnovsek, who helped lead his country to independence and EU membership, has died at the age of 57, his office says. Mr Drnovsek was prime minister from 1992 until 2002, when he was elected president. He did not run for a second term in December due to ill health. No cause of death was given, but he had a cancerous kidney removed in 1999. The disease later spread to his lungs. The illness prompted him to promote a healthy lifestyle and vegetarian diet. In recent years, Mr Drnovsek wrote three books on spirituality which became best-sellers in Slovenia and were translated into several languages.

She was last seen sleeping on a sofa. Her pillow had a small blood stain. Her personal belongings were left behind. The house door was left unlocked. She was missing for a month and sparked a massive search, with donations pouring in to fund the search. Police have located a body in Reno. They confirmed that she was Brianna Denison. They suspect that she was abducted by a serial rapist. She was strangled and her body was dumped in the field for more than a week. It was not discovered earlier because of the snow that covered it.

He told his victims that he won the lottery and showed them the money. He then invited them to share some champagne with him. The drinks were spiked and the women lost their memories and were powerless to prevent their own rapes. The driver, a white man around middle age, raped them before driving them to their addresses. This mode of rape was first reported 3 years ago and the occurrences may have increased over the past few months. The police could not confirm if the same black cab was used or different taxis were involved because the women gave different descriptions of the colors of the cabs. A man has been arrested and was in custody pending police investigations.KingMSun, 17 Feb 2008 07:56:29 -0800http://www.blabberstar.com/news/view/cab-driver-rapist-is-on-the-rampagehttp://www.blabberstar.com/news/view/1552http://www.blabberstar.com/news/view/1552Kerry Marie Allen, 24, a British Backpack traveller, was killed in a freak accident.
