Mary-Kate Olsen Wants Immunity


Generally, a person only asks for immunity if they are guilty of something. Well, Mary-Kate Olsen apparently will not cooperate with federal investigators regarding Heath Ledger's death unless she is given immunity. The fuck?

The actress' lawyer has repeatedly rebuffed attempts by the feds to question Olsen, who was the first person called after her masseuse discovered Ledger's body in his SoHo apartment in January.Frustrated federal officials could obtain a grand-jury subpoena to compel the funky "Full House" actress to tell them whatever she knows about the "Dark Knight" star's behavior, his possible drug use and the events of that fateful morning, according to sources.
Probers have interviewed everyone connected to Ledger and his death, including his doctors, the masseuse, bodyguards, housekeepers, business associates and even the mother of his 2-year-old daughter, Matilda, his "Brokeback Mountain" co-star Michelle Williams.
"Ms. Williams was extremely nice and cooperative," a source said.

Yeah well I don't think MK is the "nice and cooperative" type. We already know that its a big ol' no-no to ask the little troll about Heath. This does not surprise me. However, I'm curious to know what Michelle Williams had to say about her...

Rolling Stone Loved 'The Dark Knight'


Yeah here is my shocked face.

The Dark Knight doesn't hit theaters until July 18th, but Rolling Stone got first crack at it and Peter Travers wrote up a glowing review.

Heads up: a thunderbolt is about to rip into the blanket of bland we call summer movies. The Dark Knight, director Christopher Nolan's absolute stunner of a follow-up to 2005's Batman Begins, is a potent provocation decked out as a comic-book movie. Feverish action? Check. Dazzling spectacle? Check. Devilish fun? Check.
I can only speak superlatives of Ledger, who is mad-crazy-blazing brilliant as the Joker … If there's a movement to get him the first posthumous Oscar since Peter Finch won for 1976's Network, sign me up. Ledger's Joker has no gray areas — he's all rampaging id.
Every actor brings his A game … Michael Caine purrs with sarcastic wit as Bruce's butler … Morgan Freeman radiates tough wisdom as Lucius Fox. Gary Oldman is so skilled that he makes virtue exciting as Jim Gordon … Eckhart earns major props for scarily and movingly portraying the DA's transformation into the dreaded Harvey Two-Face, an event sparked by the brutal murder of a major character.

(See the entire review at my source, but I believe there are a few spoilers at the Rolling Stone link. I didn't want to be spoiled, so I didn't check it out.)

I'm still psyched about this movie. I might actually drag my lazy ass to an actual theater to see it, instead of waiting 'til it comes out on DVD or getting it on Pay-Per-View. Bah! Imagine that! Me getting off my ass! The world might end!

Michelle Williams is Not Happy



When Heath Ledger died, his family promised to help Michelle Williams care for the daughter that she and Heath had, little Matilda. Turns out they aren't doing any of that.

The family has been fighting like dogs over Heath's estate since his death in January of this year. His uncles wanted his father removed as executor of the estate because he screwed up being executor of his own father's (Heath's grandfather's) estate 15 years ago. The uncles claimed it isn't because they would gain anything finiancially, they just wanted to make sure Heath's daughter was well cared for.

Now Michelle is threatening not to show up for the premiere of The Dark Knight which unless you've been living in a cave for the past six months, you should know was Heath's final film.

According to Page Six: An insider said, "Michelle is furious with Heath's family and threatening to boycott the premiere. Matilda is supposed to be the beneficiary of the will, but Michelle has seen nothing from them. Heath didn't have much in cash, but there was a big house in LA and a back-end deal for 'Dark Knight' [that] could reap millions."

This would be all well and good, except that Heath's will was written in 2003 before he met Michelle Williams and thusly, before Matilda was even born.

I can understand her frusterations, but I'm trying to figure out why not showing up for a movie premiere is gonna get her anywhere. I do think his daughter is entitled to something, I just think there are more effective ways of getting it accomplished.

Better Version of the Batman Trailer


So I found a version of the Batman trailer minus the dumbasses yelling over it in the theater and shit. Definately cool and worth a watch. It also better shows lawyer Harvey Dent who later becomes Two-Face. Comic Book Resources apparently has leaked what he will look like after the transformation.

Heath Ledger is freaking amazing and this is just the trailer. It's just a reminder that the world lost this talent way too fucking early. God forbid the no-talent assholes like Parisite Hilton accidently OD on their fucking herpes medicine. No. It has to be the GOOD bitches who put out movies worth watching instead of tired-ass porn.
Seriously. Husband and I ran across this flick on Showtime one night called Candy starring Ledger and Abie Cornish. Apparently it was released in Australia or some shit. But it is a freaking awesome movie. Rent this shit if you get a chance.
Anyways. Back to making fun of dumb bitches.

Leaked Dark Knight Trailer


Dunno how long this will be up. But the movie looks kick ass and Heath Ledger definately played the creepy villian well, from the clips in this trailer. The video is actually someone filming in a theater where the trailer was shown. The actual trailer we'll see on TV doesn't come out until this weekend, I think.

Anywho, bastard won't let me embed in this post, so go to my source to see the trailer.
