There’s no fancy PR wording in here. Mary-Kate totally penned this.
Mary-Kate finally made a public statement today regarding Heath Ledger, the Australian actor who was found dead shortly before his housekeeper called Mary-Kate four times.
“Heath was a friend. His death is a tragic loss. My thoughts are with his family during this very difficult time.”
Well, well, well, if you know how I roll, as in, you know how I type - you should be familiar with my inability to shut the eff up and step away from the keyboard.
Although MK didn’t have to make a statement at all, I think it would be so disrespectful not to say something kind about a dear friend who has passed away, so at least she did that.
Now, that being said, I’m disappointed in Mary-Kate’s statement. Very disappointed. I didn’t know Heath personally, but I could have said the exact same thing about the talented young actor. In fact, every single gossip blogger this week has said, “His death is a tragic loss. My thoughts are with his family during this very difficult time.” - including me!
I know she must be hurting, but damn. Mary-Kate gave the weakest, most disconnected statement of all this week! I mean, John Travolta went balls out over Heath and he never even worked with him.
Maybe I’m high maintenance; I just expected at least a few dozen words from her, reminding us of how amazing he was.
Mary-Kate and Heath were dating, but not exclusively, for three months before his passing.
“I can hardly breathe when I try to write this . . . we were the ultimate in soul mates. I feel both my heart and life have been torn apart. I loved our special talks, our daily chats from wherever you were in the world….
“There will never, ever be another ‘Heath’ and I think that in itself is the greatest tragedy.
“I will continue to talk with you everyday and love you just as if you were here. You will never leave my thoughts ‘Roast,’ ever.”
His father Kim added:
“‘Heatho,’ ‘Beef,’ . . . my beautiful boy, so loving, so talented, so independent, so caring, so young . . . no more chess games mate . . . this is it, couldn’t beat you anyway!
“My body aches for the sound of your voice, our chats, our laughs and our life and times together.”
Heath’s mother Sally wrote:
“Our darling boy, special in so many ways to all of us. You knew you were so loved. You lived life with courage and daring and we are so grateful for the wonderful times we shared. We will be there for Matilda. Your loving Mamma, Rog and Ash.”
Younger sister Olivia wrote:
“You’re my idol, my hero, but most importantly, my loving big brother. I’ll treasure every moment we spent together. I love you Heath, I miss you and pray every night you’re safe.”
A tribute from all members of Heath’s immediate family read:
“How do we describe our sudden and tragic loss? … You were the most amazing individual ‘old soul’ in a young man’s body.
“You so loved us, as we dearly loved you. As a close knit and very private family unit we have observed you so determined yet quietly traveling in your self-styled path in life, nothing would get in your way … no mountain too tall, no river too wide.
“You dreamed your dreams and lived them with passion and intelligent commitment. We have been privileged to accompany you on a ride through life that has simply been amazing and through it all, we have loved each other beyond imagination.
“Your true legacy lives on in beautiful little Matilda, who will always remain in the greatest of care. Our hearts are broken .”
Fox News’ John Gibson called Ledger a “weirdo” with a “serious drug problem.” Making fun of the famous “I wish I knew how to quit you” line from “Brokeback Mountain,” Gibson said of his death, “Well, he found out how to quit you.”
Gibson then went on to say that TMZ reported that Heath had a ’serious drug problem’ and because ‘TMZ is right about everything….about 90% of the time,’ it must be true.
After Heath’s famous Brokeback line came the clip which featured Ledger saying, “We’re dead.” Gibson then played that clip a few more times.
Gibson mentioned Ledgers’s death several times during his broadcast, joking that maybe Heath killed himself because he was going to lose money in the stock market, or that maybe he was a John Edwards supporter.When Brokeback Mountain was released, Gibson was obviously not a fan. He mocked the filmed repeatedly, calling it “a gay agenda movie.”
Can someone please dig up as much dirt as possible on this jerk? I really wanna find out how many male sex partners he may have had in the past. He’s a closet case, and a cold-hearted asshole at best.
May Heath, a heterosexual male who had the courage to play a homosexual character, rest in peace. His family shouldn’t have to go through this crap right now.
What will the consequences for Gibson’s blatant homophobic remarks be?

According to the Daily News, Olsen’s bodyguard later confirmed to police that two were dating. The Post quotes a police source as saying the two had a “mutual relationship.”
According to a law enforcement official who spoke to the Post, the masseuse called Olsen first because “she didn’t want a media circus.” The Daily News reports that the masseuse called Olsen “for guidance.”
Olsen told the masseuse she would send her security guards to the downtown Manhattan apartment.
After the masseuse tried to rouse Ledger, she discovered that his body was cold, the Post reports, so she called Olsen again. “I think he’s dead,” she said. Olsen replied, “I already have people coming over.”
The masseuse then told Olsen she was calling 911.
Mary-Kate was called when the housekeeper couldn’t wake Heath, so I’m not surprised people would piece together that Heath was dating her. I was waiting for it actually. I think Heath was banging the supermodel Helena Christensen, the one he was caught sucking face with, who was on her way to his crib when she found out about his passing.
Shekhar Kapur, who directed Heath Ledger in the 2002 adventure Four Feathers, says “last spoke to him the night before he died.
“I had just arrived in New York last night, he said he could not see me that night but really wanted to meet me the next day. He made me promise that I would call him in the morning and wake him up.”
Police confirm that they confiscated prescribed sleeping aid Ambien in the apartment where Ledger’s body was found Tuesday.
In November, Ledger had told The New York Times that he often took the prescribed sleeping aid, Ambien, to help him fall asleep. “Last week I probably slept an average of two hours a night,” he said. “I couldn’t stop thinking. My body was exhausted and my mind was still going.”
He went on to say that taking one pill had no effect on him; he’d have to take two to fall asleep. But then, he said, he would awake an hour later with his “mind still racing.”
Signing off, Kapur writes:
“Farewell Heath. I always knew you had an ancient soul. I always said you had a wisdom beyond your years. And somehow I always knew that your spirit was too restless. Goodbye, my brother.”
So Kapur didn’t come through on his promise to call and wake Heath? I’m sure that’s exactly what Heath’s family wants to hear right now. Good job, a-hole.
It will be days before authorities can determine the cause of Heath Ledger’s death, but more details have surfaced on what specific drugs were found in his room Tuesday.
The 28-year-old actor had six prescription drugs, including anti-anxiety medications and sleeping pills, unnamed police sources tell the Associated Press. (Ledger had openly discussed his problems sleeping.)
Police confirmed earlier Wednesday that an undisclosed number of prescription drugs – and no illegal drugs – were found on the scene.
Tests found no drug residue on a rolled-up $20 billion found near Heath Ledger’s body, police said Wednesday.
A source had said white powder was found on the bill – but authorities later said a drug test came up negative.
Police did find prescription medication near the body of the Brokeback Mountain star, said NYPD Commissioner Ray Kelly said during a press conference.
“Some of them were sleeping pills, in essence, and some other drugs there as well. … We are going to wait for the toxicology report.”
I try to avoid posting speculation as much as possible, especially when we’re dealing with one’s death. At first people were mentioning suicide - they were wrong. Then they talked about possible cocaine use - wrong again. It’s horrible how the media is just so eager to report anything!
How many people have been killed off by sleeping pills? It seems like they’re more lethal than beneficial. We’ll only know what happened in a few weeks once the medical examiner reveals the truth. R.I.P.
