Miller now tells Usmagazine.com that Olsen has provided the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) with all the information she has on her late pal.

MARY KATE OLSEN WANTS LEDGER IMMUNITY

Image
According to a report in the New York Post , television actress Mary-Kate Olsen is refusing to talk with federal investigators about the death of 'The Dark Knight' star Heath Ledger unless she's given full immunity. On the fateful day of Ledger's death, Olsen was the first person called when her masseuse discovered the actor's dead body. The Post also reports that Olsen's lawyer has rejected several attempts for the former 'Full House' actress to be questioned, and that she may be subjected to a grand-jury subpoena to discuss what she knew about Ledger's life and death. "Everyone has been very eager to help, saying what a great guy Heath Ledger was, everyone except Mary-Kate, who has refused to speak," a Post source said. Ledger died in January due to an accidental overdose of prescription medication. His final acting role as The Joker in 'The Dark Knight' has earned him Oscar buzz, and propelled the movie to nearly $400 million i...

SPENCER PRATT AND MARY KATE OLSEN WAR

But Pratt was left pissed off by the remarks, bitterly telling reporters he knows he has made it in Hollywood now that a "famous troll" has commented on him. And he further lashed out at the 22-year-old actress - insisting he forgives her as she has endured a "tough" life as the less attractive twin, comparing her to her sister Ashley."(Mary-Kate) should probably focus more on not getting dressed in the dark than on me. I forgive her, though. She’s had to go through life as the less cute twin, which must be tough."

NEW YORK POST AFTER MARY KATE OLSEN

New York Post editor-in-chief Col Allan claims Olsen’s lawyers contacted him as soon as the newspaper linked the actress with Ledger’s death - and speculates they may have put pressure on the NYPD to eliminate the actress from their enquiries.He says, "Almost immediately after the tragic passing of Mr. Ledger, Ms.Olsen’s attorneys began emailing us threatening messages. We find it strange if Ms. Olsen was not questioned at all."The New...
