some of the comments are funny.

She called Mary-Kate Olsen TWICE? What on earth for? I realize she was probably in shock and blah blah blah but how flipping hard is it to dial 911? I can only hope that poor Heath was already dead and her ridiculous actions and time wasting did not contribute to his death.

Clearly the second call was intended to get a second opinion from Ashley Olsen and she just dialed wrong. who can tell them apart anyway?

This is disturbing, though

Using his cellphone, she used a speed-dial button to call Ms. Olsen in California to seek her guidance, knowing Ms. Olsen to be a friend of Mr. Ledger's.

Rather than just call 911 with your own phone, you waste God-knows-how-much time fiddling through the speed dial directory of a phone you're not familiar with? Sounds like she had the same dubious priorities as MKO.

True.

This is somewhat disturbing, but I would imagine it's standard practice for anyone who works with celebrities. I'm sure they are often "unresponsive" while not being in any real danger, and calling 911 just means tabloid exposure and speculation. (Or drug charges, etc.)

According to Superficial: --Police found a rolled up $20 bill with "narcotic residue" on it in the apartment where Heath Ledger was found dead yesterday, according to CBS News: Sources add they also found several drug packets containing an unknown substance. CBS 2 has learned these items were all listed on the official police report from the scene.To be clear, it's still unknown whether these items belonged to Ledger or whether he even actually ingested them.-- Apparently, Jack Nicholson was asked to say a few words about Keith last night. All he said was, "I warned him."

Nice thing to say. Anyone who thinks X Olsen wouldn't normally have drugs and drug-coated things around would have to be nuts, but who knows.

From a friend of mine, who is an actress, and knew Heath Ledger: (slightly edited by me for readability purposes, she's an actress - not a writer)

I just wanted to say good bye to a really wonderful and beautiful person. Although I haven't seen him about 9 years he had a huge impact on my life. I was so lucky to spend alot of time with him, having fun and going to alot of amazing places together. Most of all I want everyone to know that he was one the most generous and beautiful guys I have ever met. Even though we were just friends he treated me like the most beautiful person in the world and when he was in love boy could he love someone like no other. I was always hoping to see him one more time and always thought that I would, but I am just so glad for the time that I did get to spend with him. I am just so sad that his daughter won't get to know the type of man he was because he would have been the most amazing dad. I hope everyone who reads this will know that he truly was a great, wonderful, romantic,beautiful and so amazingly talented man, and we all have our problems with things but he truly should not be remembered by that. I guess I just should be happy that my last moments with him were moments more like a movie I have ever experienced. Thank you Heath for being so great to me in the times that we shared. I was lucky to have been with you and cherish the amazing memories I had with you. You will be missed so much!

I, to this point, have not. BUT I was fully intending on paying for The Dark Knight SPECIFICALLY in the hopes that Heath Ledger would be amazing.

I still intend on paying to see it BTW. Nothing has changed.

Warner Bros. or who ever is doing the movie is going to make a ton of extra money on it because of this though.

Maybe it was a conspiracy.

I was thinking about the Heath Ledger/James Dean conversation earlier. I just can't see it happening.

I think Heath Ledger may become the new Brandon Lee instead.

An earlier report from CBS News in New York that illegal drugs and narcotics residue on a $20 bill were found in the home of deceased actor Heath Ledger has turned out to be untrue.

The Associated Press now reports:

"A rolled-up $20 bill was found near Heath Ledger's body, though no illegal drugs were found in his apartment, police said Wednesday.

The bill would be taken to a lab for testing, though no visible drug residue was found on it, police said."
