WHOOPS! "HEATH LEDGER’s parents vowed yesterday to see right by his ex-lover and their daughter — after he left them NOTHING in his will."

This was bound to happen: Crazed Heath Ledger fans are sending hate mail and threats to Mary-Kate Olsen, whom they blame for the actor's death.

Sources say the twin has beefed up security and is afraid to walk the streets. Like she's big enough to even be seen by the human eye.

A lot of people who knew Heath and Mary-Kate in his last months know that they were partying together constantly. It wasn’t hard to connect the dots and run a line between Heath hooking up with Mary-Kate and his sad decline.

Ah, yes. Because little ol' Heath was overpowered by the mighty Olsens as they forced drugs down his throat. Bullies.

BLAME MARY KATE "Federal agents have ruled out a pair of doctors from Los Angeles and Houston as the sources of the OxyContin and Vicodin found in the bloodstream of late movie star Heath Ledger."

ONE MONTH LATER "Federal drug enforcement agents are investigating at least two MDs who prescribed drugs to Heath Ledger. … The agents are looking into whether these drugs were properly prescribed by physicians."

Heath Ledger sat for this haunting portrait only weeks before his death last month. The painting, which portrays the late actor as sallow and depressed, also incorporates some very simple symbolism that artist Vincent Fantauzzo feels the need to explain to death: "…it was about how we all have different consciences and voices in our head that tell us what to do and how to react. They're not good or bad, they're just voices that we hear, telling us how to behave. That's what the other figures are in the painting."

Jennifer Lopez still hasn't given birth to those twins, so we can assume she's still parading around New York City in 5-inch stilettos. But you know what else she's doing? Willing her babies to come out on a particular due date. Hey, if anyone can do it, it's Jenny from the block.

While this date has been bandied about before, a source close to Lopez said Valentine’s Day is the date she’s been focused on since the beginning of her pregnancy. 'She didn’t just like it because of the obvious correlation, which is sweet, but she also was happy that it … would easily make the deadline for the weekly magazine covers.'

We knew we liked J.Lo for a reason: She's considerate of the tabloids. Heath Ledger could have learned a thing or two from her.

Splash News posted a clearly invasive picture of the Ledger family. The caption reads, "Heath Ledger's family make [sic] a statement for privacy."

Because money is more important to people than not looking calloused, the apartment in which Heath Ledger died is already on the market. (One can't mourn forever, you know, and have you seen the cost of private kindergarten these days?)

The loft is renting for $25,000/month, $3,000/month more than Ledger was paying. Says one broker, "You don't wait around in a hot rental market like this."

NO REST FOR THE DEPARTED "Photos of Heath Ledger’s dead body are being served up for sale to tabloids worldwide, according to a New York Post insider. Just one photo of the late Oscar-nominee could yield six figures. According to Post sources, photos were snapped of a dearly departed Ledger shortly after his body was discovered in a New York City loft: 'Supposedly, his body was snapped, and $300,000 is the price on that photo.'"

FATAL COCKTAIL "'Mr. Heath Ledger died as the result of acute intoxication by the combined effects of oxycodone, hydrocodone, diazepam, temazepam, alprazolam and doxylamine,' medical examiner's spokeswoman Ellen Borakove said in a news release." The ME found five different kinds of prescription drugs in Ledger's system.

BEAUTIFULLY PUT "Michelle Williams broke her silence Friday, saying her 'heart is broken' over Heath Ledger in her first statement since the Brokeback Mountain actor's death. 'Please respect our need to grieve privately,' Williams said. 'My heart is broken. I am the mother of the most tender-hearted, high-spirited, beautiful little girl who is the spitting image of her father. All that I can cling to is his presence inside her that reveals itself every day. His family and I watch Matilda as she whispers to trees, hugs animals, and takes steps two at a time, and we know that he is with us still. She will be brought up in the best memories of him.'"

A coalition of powerful celebrities like Natalie Portman and that girl from Juno may be behind Entertainment Tonight and The Insider's decision to not air a two-year-old video of the recently deceased Heath Ledger in a coke den at LA's Chateau Marmont.

A spokesperson for the shows confirmed that the full video will not air.

"Out of respect for Heath Ledger's family, 'Entertainment Tonight' and 'The Insider' have decided not to run the Heath Ledger video which has been circulating in the world media," a show spokesperson said in a statement.

Of course, in the past, both programs have eagerly shown offensive footage of the dead, including pictures of Princess Di's fatal car crash and a drugged-out Anna Nicole Smith in clown makeup; why stop now? Rumor has it they're being intimidated into submission with threats of no further interviews.

POTS AND KETTLES Access Hollywood's Billy Bush lashed out at Entertainment Tonight and The Insider over the shows' plans to air a video showing Heath Ledger at a drug-fueled party: "Ledger's family has not even had the chance to bury their son. We know he had problems, but this kind of salacious opportunism is poisonous."

Showing a rare glimmer of restraint, Entertainment Tonight and The Insider announced they will not be airing a Heath Ledger video that shows him at a drug-filled party (it was taped two years ago, so it kind of lacks relevancy). We're not quite sure why they are no longer running the video they reportedly paid big bucks for, but the damage has already been done, really.

Out of respect for Heath Ledger's family, Entertainment Tonight and The Insider have decided not to run the Heath Ledger video which has been circulating in the world media.

Before you start getting those warm and fuzzies for ET and The Insider, remember that Pat O'Brien broadcasted in front of the funeral home during Heath's casket removal. Obviously out of respect.

During Adnad Ghalib's The Insider interview that he was totally not compensated for, he is asked about Britney Spears' thoughts on Jamie-Lynn's pregnancy. His answer? "I don't think she accepts that she is [pregnant]."

To be fair, she also doesn't believe that Heath Ledger's dead.

Throughout Britney Spears' revolting descent into madness, one thing that remained consistent was her ostensible solitude. That's not to say she was ever by herself, but being around people is different from not being alone. Where were her agents, record execs and brand managers to literally grab her by her fried hair – when she still had it – and force her into reality?

Maybe they sat on their hands because they didn't know she would become so far gone. But maybe they did nothing because they knew they could line their pockets with her insanity. According to Portfolio magazine, for many people, a restless, tormented Britney is worth a lot more than a levelheaded one.

We never thought we'd say this, but we missed Ryan Seacrest last night during E!'s red carpet coverage of the Screen Actors Guild awards (he called in sick). Between Giuliana Rancic and Debbie Matenopoulos, we were contemplating gouging our eyes out 20 minutes into the hooplah due to the extreme level of awkwardness these ladies achieved. Debbie forced poor Debra Messing to listen to her discuss her hair straightening regimen for what seemed like hours (Debra had an appropriate "What the hell?" look on her face the entire time), and then Giuliana treated us to a rant in which she criticized the media for making a circus out of Heath Ledger's death. Which is appropriate, since she works for one of those media outlets and all.

But our favorite moments had to be when Giuliana and Debbie would butcher the celebrities' names, often during an interview with said celebrity. Above, we present Julia Fischer, Jennifer Ferrera, and America's favorite couple: Brad and Angela.
