Timbaland Disappoints

wenn1917131.jpg

Timbaland is going to have a lot of angry Australian fans. Actually, he might not have any Aussie fans left after this!

The rapper was set to start his 2008 Australian tour overseas this week.

He was originally set to begin the tour in July, though he rescheduled the date and pushed it back to August.

Timbaland was then scheduled to open his tour in Sydney on Friday, August 15th at the Sydney Entertainment Centre with tickets going for $98.70 – $122.65.

However, with only two days left before the concert, he's CANCELLED the tour!

WTF?!?

Wonder if his ticket sales were so low they figured it would be best to cancel it all together.

Ticket holders got the following email sent to them. An "apology" letter by Ticketmaster, stating:

Subject: Timbaland Sydney Cancelled
Date: Wed, 13 Aug 2008 10:34:01 +1000
From: CC.Service@ticketmaster.com.au

Nicole & Keith Talk Baby!

fp_1381469_kidman_nicole_fp_15_072008__opt.jpg

Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban just arrived in Sydney for the first time since the birth of their new daughter, Sunday Roast.

This trip is the first time many of their family members have seen the baby, and their stay will be a bit of an extended one. Nicole will be doing some "pick up" shots with Hugh Jackman for her Baz Luhrman-directed film, Australia.

Though the couple have refused to sell pictures of little Sunday Roast, they are finally opening up about her.

In an interview on Thursday with Sydney's Kyle & Jackie O show the couple said the following…..

Nicole said: "Keith and I are also just appealing to the press and stuff to give us a little space so we can walk around Sydney and show the baby our town. Just a little bit because she’s tiny, she’s not a doll, she’s a real little thing. Just not right in our face or her face because it’s scary for her, she’s tiny. A tiny little thing."

Keith said: "I get the interest in it, I get that but at the same time, it’s our little girl and I think sometimes when people come right up in our face and you think, ‘Good god, would you do that to anybody else’s child?’ That’s all and we’re very pleased to be back and we’ve got our little four weeker with us."

Nicole said, "She looks like Keith, I think she does….We’ve brought her back to meet the grandparents. My mum was there with me for the birth but my dad hasn’t met her and Keith’s mum and dad are coming down."

Keith said, "Oh, she’s just awesome. Anybody out there who has kids, it’s just a certain type of feeling you can only experience when you do it but we’re just stoked, she’s awesome."

We kinda understand where they're coming from, but….

Is it gonna happen????

The paps will most likely still hound them and the pics of Sunday Roast will pop up eventually.

Off The Hook!

wenn5131840__opt.jpg

Despite being subpoenaed by authorities, Mary-Kate Olsen won't have to testify in the investigation on Heath Ledger's accidental overdose.

Why????

Because authorities have just closed the case.

Lucky break for M.K.O., who had requested immunity before testifying.

No charges have been filed against anyone in relation to Ledger's death.

How he obtained all those illegal prescription meds remains a mystery!

Subpoenaed!

They want her bad!

The Feds appear to be convinced that Mary-Kate Olsen knows more than she says she knows about the circumstances surrounding Heath Ledger's death and drug use.

According to Access Hollywood, the tiniest Trollsen has been issued a subpoena by the Drug Enforcement Administration office in New York, requiring her to testify in front of a grand jury.

However, no timeline for when Olsen might be called to testify was provided.

MK's lawyer already issued a statement on Monday saying she's revealed all she knows.

But, then, why would she say she'd talk more if she was given immunity?

Sounds like there's more to be said and it looks like the Feds may get it out of MKO sans the immunity she wants!

In Defense of the Troll

marykateolsen2.jpg

We're guessing that Mary Kate TROLLsen isn't happy with reports that emerged early Monday that she won't speak with investigators about Heath Ledger's death unless she gets immunity.

Looks like she had her lawyer issue a statement to perhaps cool some of the heat she's feeling.

Says Olsen's attorney:

"Despite tabloid speculation, Mary-Kate Olsen had nothing whatsoever to do with the drugs found in Heath Ledger's home or his body, and she does not know where he obtained them…Regarding the government's investigation, at Ms. Olsen's request, we have provided the government with relevant information including facts in the chronology of events surrounding Mr. Ledger's death and the fact that Ms. Olsen does not know the source of the drugs Mr. Ledger consumed," the statement from her attorney continues…We don't know the source of the information being quoted in the media regarding the government's inquiry, but these descriptions are incomplete and inaccurate."

But still…immunity? Shady!

P.S. The Associated Press confirmed the reports, so it's not just the "tabloids" talking.

What's She Hiding?

marykateolsen.jpg

Seems like there's a lot of shady in Mary Kate Olsen's world.

According to reports, the Trollsen's lawyer has repeatedly told U.S. government investigators that M.K.O. won't talk to them about Heath Ledger and the circumstances around his death….unless she gets immunity.

What does she need immunity from????

Remember, Mary Kate was the first person called after her masseuse discovered Ledger's body.

Everyone, BUT MK, connected to Ledger and his death have been interviewed by investigators.

An insider explained that the Trollsen would be the final witness they need to conclude their investigation into where Heath got his drugs and medicines.

Frustrated federal officials could obtain a grand-jury subpoena to compel MK to tell whatever she knows about the late Ledger's behaviour, his possible drug use and the events of that fateful morning.

Makes you wonder why she isn't more forthcoming!
