Mary-Kate Olsen Gets Subpoenaed

She's got some 'splainin' to do
Wednesday, August 6th, 2008

The DEA has got a few questions for Mary-Kate Olsen and they aren’t really in the mood to be offering full immunity to her in order to hear her answers. A new report claims that MK is going to be brought before the grand jury looking at the investigation into the death of Heath Ledger whether she likes it or not. You may recall that MK was the first person called after Heath’s dead body was discovered in his NYC apartment earlier this year … methinks that the DEA and the grand jury want to know the reason why Mary-Kate was the first person called when his dead body was discovered, in her own words:


Despite her claim that she has no information that would help clear up the mystery of Heath Ledger’s overdose death, Mary-Kate Olsen has been issued a subpoena by the Drug Enforcement Administration office in New York, requiring her to testify in front of a grand jury. In a statement issued on Monday, Olsen’s lawyer said that the actress had nothing to do with the drugs that killed Ledger and that she has already cooperated with police in the investigation. Several media outlets also reported that Olsen had refused to speak to investigators unless she was granted immunity from prosecution. “Access Hollywood” broke the news about the subpoena on Tuesday night, but gave no timeline for when Olsen might be called to testify. Five different medications were found in Ledger’s body at the time of his death, three of which he’d gotten from doctors in Texas and Los Angeles. Officials are trying to determine how he got the OxyContin and Vicodin found in his apartment without a legal prescription. Olsen was the first person that Ledger’s housekeeper called after his masseuse found the actor dead from an accidental overdose in his New York apartment on January 22.

Veeeeeeeeery interesting. You know, I always thought it was a bit shady that Mary-Kate Olsen was the person who was first called once Heath’s body was discovered — she was called even before the paramedics were called. There is something not right there. I had a feeling this grand jury biz would be coming along sooner or later. That being said, I don’t really anticipate anything of substance coming from any of this grand jury stuff. Unless there is are hard evidence linking MK to the circumstances surrounding Heath’s untimely death, I highly doubt that anything will stick to her … tho, the investigation may have uncovered some evidence and they want to ask MK questions to see if she really is as innocent as she claims. Man, this grand jury shizz could be heavy … I guess we’ll have to wait and see what comes of it.

Mary-Kate Olsen Dishes On Spencer Pratt

Shares her fond high school memories with David Letterman
Friday, June 27th, 2008

Mary-Kate Olsen stopped by The Late Show with David Letterman last night to do some promo work for her new 90’s nostalgic movie The Wackness and talked about various things …. from her new movie (which involved kissing scenes with Ben Kingsley) to her advice for Young Hollywood to her former school friend Spencer Pratt — yes, the Spencer Pratt from The Hills. MK had some interesting things to say about the lad she claims she was not friends with (David Letterman asked her point blank if they were friends at the time and she replied “No”) and yet the couple were photographed partying together back in the day:


They were classmates at a posh L.A. high school – and Mary-Kate Olsen doesn’t have fond memories of Spencer Pratt. “He does not have a good temper,” Olsen, 22, told David Letterman, during an appearance to promote her film The Wackness … “He used to play on the soccer team … (and) he walked out of a few games. He would walk off the field.” When Letterman pressed her for more stories on The Hills’s 24-year-old villain (whom Letterman called “wormy” and “oily”), Olsen just giggled and said, “The Wackness is a great film!” As for the rest of young Hollywood, Olsen simply advised: “Wear underwear! Wear your panties.”

The interview is interesting to watch, Mary-Kate seems regretful that she even started talking about Spencer in a negative way in the first place because she remained mum on spilling any further deets the more that David Letterman pressed her. After the jump, check out video of MK’s interview with Letterman
