Yes, it's about the family right now. It shouldn't be about anything else. This statement is to the point, and shows that she is more focused on his family and how the are dealing, rather then her relationship with Heath.

Re: jo –

Did you fall and hit your silly little head. Someone has died and all you care about is putting your ignorant first comments. No one cares.

whether she was just a friend or a bit more is irrelevant. people should be focusing on the loss to his family and daughter… who gives a f*** about Mary-Kate

To all you morons that keep posting "first"……what is your damn point? Are you showing us that you are so into this site? There is no point to it at all, it is annoying, adolescent, and shows the types of "fans" this site has. A piece of advice, get a book, learn something, help someone instead of wasting every ounce of energy sitting in front a computer waiting for outrageous blogs so you can post an inane "first" comment. Freaks!

Wow her name is splashed all over this story for days and she comes across as being annoyed that her publicist made her take 30 seconds out of her self indulgent party schedule to address all the rumor.

Pretty sad, maybe the stupid massuese should have called someone else on Heaths contact list, like his parents, baby mama, jake gyllenhaal, just a thought. Theres always 911.
urabunchofcunts says – reply to this

47

she had a personal and private relationship with the guy - she didn't owe a response of any kind let alone one that would let you bunch of bastards any further into her life…
This is only my second visit to this site - and it speaks volumes about you lot if this is the kinda trash posted on what is supposed to be one of the most popular blogs out there. Get a Fucking life already.

Very, very impersonal. I wonder how they knew each other anyway, and how close they were to have the masseuse call her… which is extremely suspicious.

..its seems about time.

but dont you think she would of been more effected by his death because she was probably the last to see/talk to him and one of the first to know he died.

does anything else think its weird that that's all she had to say? they must of been pretty close for the masseuse to call her before she called 911. i mean, i dont know i think something is funny here.
meme says – reply to this

62

I think her response it perfectly appropriate. I'm sure she is VERY upset, but she knows that her alleged relationship with Heath should not be the focus of attention.
Monkeys suck says – reply to this

RIP Heath Ledger, but obviously the masseuse needed advice on where to stash the drugs before the police came. Freaking little albino monkey. I can't believe men used to think these things were going to grow up and be hot!

what is wrong with you people…
heath ledger dies and your busy making remarks about mk? who cares.. ?
its so horrible hes gone, im completely heart broken. maybe you guys should pray for his family etc instead of being rude about someone else…
dooop says – reply to this

67

Why is everyone bitching?? This has got to be an EXTREMELY upsetting time for MK and everyone who knew him. She doesn't owe anyone an explanation, and for someone who is usually very private and avoids talking to the media, we're lucky that she said anything at all. Her response is more than appropriate.
Just no one says – reply to this

68

What about Michelle? I guess she is feeling wierd and guilty etc just like Kate Hudson when Owen tried his thing. The thing is I think that Michelle was probably a good girlfriend but Kate just a run around ho looking for attention.
I hate all of this. Why is Naomi Watts acting all concerned? I hate it when all the exes that are knocked up with someone else try to act all in the middle. This is about Heath and Michelle. Not all of these other skanks.

Mary kate doesnt have to have a long speech TO THE MEDIA. I am sure she is saddened by his death,and doesnt want the spotlight ON HER at this time,Im sure she is sad. she doesnt owe the media any words, this is not like ALL SHE SAID TO HIS FAMILY OR SOMETHING, ITS JUST REPORTERS.

Hello !, interesting news, quite nice girl but poor photo.. and dress could be more sexy.. btw I am interested in opinions about facegreatlook.com service…
they claim they can make average girl (or boy) photo look like celebrity by making edit similar to those models are getting in magazines, have you tried that ?
nylover says – reply to this

73

Re: Erica – Unfortunately in her profession the media does count, she could show a little more remorse no ones asking for her to break down or anything . at least to drop all the drama surrounding her and all the drama about the phonecalls made to her,(which i do not know what the big deal was about) its called MEDIA CONTROL.

ok….SHUT UP PEREZ!!! I'll tell the TRUTH!!! "PEREZ" is madly in love with HEATH!!! but HEATH doesn't care. PEREZ lured him by telling HEATH he has some COKE! …PEREZ smashed some ambien pills the white ones….and placed them on a plate and divided them into FAT lines!!! as soon as HEATH was knocked down….PEREZ took advantage of HEATH that's why HE was naked and face down. I will call the NYPD and asked them to take a DNA sample so PEREZ can spend the rest of his life in JAIL!!!

Mary-Kate has the best publicist in Hollywood. This simple statement made to Perez says it all. There's no sense of trying to tap in on the drama or minimize her role in this nightmare. This shows real class as we expect from Hollywood royalty. MKO has been totally in touch with the seriousness of this matter. She's saddened by Heath's passing, but she has the good taste to step back and recognize that this is the time for Heath's close family. Thank you Mary-Kate…you're a class act. Be as kind to yourself as you are of all your family, friends, and fans. We'll always think of Heath when we see you and that's a beautiful thing. Thank you PEREZ for sharing this exclusive with us.

i am pissed at the masseuse- she wasted around 30 minutes calling olsen and shit when she should have called 911. and when they got there he was in cardiac arrest, which means he could have been still alive if she called 911 like she should have!
Brooklyn Lillies says – reply to this

81

Okay first of all why send a message at all if you are "friends" with someone… as a matter of fact close enough to be called when he is fucking DYING… how about showing up to the memorial service? How about that troll? She is just too uhh… disgusting for lack of a better word. Yes the thoughts and prayers are with the family. AMAZING how she isnt facing them though cause I am sure THEY wanna know what the massage therapist had to do with calling her first as well.

I am guessing Mr Ledger, being an insanely good looking, deep soul who had just broken up with the mother of his child was not in a RELATIONSHIP with anyone. After the intensity of what he did to become the Joker and the ongoing work in the advertising campaign… I am going to guess.. he found enjoyment in LOTS of beautiful women of whom I WISH I was one! LOL. Anyway, this was a wonderfully talented man who unfortunately mixed MAOI inhibitors with cold medicine which you are not supposed to do. Its not his fault. Its an accidental OD and death in this country seen REGULARLY. Oh, anti anxiety/depressants… are MAOI inhibitors in case you didnt know. SO sad. As for her, too little too late and too much distance away. She sucks. Fucking troll. Got it dude?

lila says – reply to this

85

This all MK had to say??? What the hell?! The neighborhood bookstore owner, the homeless guys, random folks had a heck of a lot more to say about Heath than this "friend". My guess is that this anorexic, druggie, with the most annoying pout, was his dealer.

Does this little fuckin' crack-headed troll even realize she's partially to blame for his death!!!!??? Who in their right mind, when called about a "friend" that's in the process of not breathing, says that they'll send "their people over", rather than call the paramedics??!! She OBVIOUSLY has something to hide!! I hope she has a dark cloud of shame over her head and every day she thinks about what she could've done differently to have possibly alter the outcome of this tragedy. STUPID BITCH!
Ana Brynn says – reply to this

93

Yes, her statement was short, but it's not cold. I'm sure she is as devastated as everyone else, but I'm sure her publicist said not to make her statement emotional as to not put focus on whatever her relationship with Heath may have been. This isn't about HER. It's about Heath and his family-period.
chompers says – reply to this

94

fuckin' little creep was no real friend to Heath
just a drug/fuck buddy who sleazed into his life while he was down is all
hesa says – reply to this

95

I totally agree #7. Couldn't have worded it better. Of course it's good to acknowledge and show your sympathy for the death of somebody. But you also can't help but think she's distancing herself a bit too much. Losing a friend in this manner is TRAUMATIC. It's important.

Her statement was basically your very basic Hallmark sympathy card. The ones that nobody buys because they sound too cliche and uncaring. I'm not suggesting that she doesn't care. I'm suggesting that she's better off saying nothing than saying that.

Me again says – reply to this

If this is all she had to say, she should've just kept her mouth shut. It's SO generic. 99.9% of the population's thoughts are with his family. I doubt she said that. Her publicist probably put it out there and she doesn't even know.

Criss Angel Is Recorded Threatening To Knock Out His Producer!

Whoa! Criss Angel is NOT messing around here!

The Luxor headlining illusionist was recorded having quite the verbal altercation with Joe Monti, one of his magic producers on Wednesday, during which Angel is heard threatening to knock him out - and now he's had a police report filed against him!

Give it a listen (above)!

Furthermore, Monti later said to authorities that he recorded the meeting because Angel has a history of bullying employees!

He explains:

“I wanted him to know how demeaning he was. I created 50-60 percent of the magic for ‘Mindfreak.' I have no reason to do anything vindictively but I draw the line on violence.”

Scary!

Violence is never the answer, folks!
