Deep Thoughts By Mary-Kate Olsen

Mary-Kate Olsen, whose name has been repeatedly linked to the tragic death of Heath Ledger because of some phone calls which were made to her number upon Heath’s body being discovered by his massage therapist and housekeeper, has issued a statement on Ledger’s death:

“Heath was a friend. His death is a tragic loss. My thoughts are with his family during this very difficult time.”

I don’t know why, meaning it’s an instinctual feeling rather than one based on facts, but this statement falls short on what I’d expect from someone who was clearly closely involved with Heath’s life. So involved that her number was called four times within the first 15 minutes of discovering Heath had passed away. I am not impugning anyone’s reputation, least of all Heath’s, but Mary-Kate really should have said NOTHING, than the above cold, calculated response.

Spare me. Your thoughts are NOT with his family. Your thoughts are with your ever-increasing suspicious name being associated with the death of a clearly beloved figure.

Sometimes it’s better to say nothing. I don’t care what you think Mary Kate, I just want to know why you didn’t tell that masseuse person to call 911 immediately.

I will stop myself from saying more, but suffice it to say, words like selfish, little, troll come to mind. Ok, that’s enough of that.

The Olsen Twins: Staging Their Own Battle Of The Bands, Musical Tastes of Old People

Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen have announced their own “Battle Of The Bands.” What does this mean? Well, let’s let the girls speak for themselves, according to a March 22 post:

“…tell all your musician friends (only unsigned bands or independent recording artists can qualify–no major label acts) to come here to this blog and leave comments telling us about their music. That’s ultimately how you’ll be able to enter to qualify as one of our 10 finalists in the final BATTLE OF THE BANDS play-off. Leave us a comment here on the blog, leave us a link to your web page or MySpace page (wherever we can listen to your music), and then you’re in for your chance to be in the Top 10…Online voting for the BATTLE OF THE BANDS will begin here, at mary-kateandashley.com, April 9th.”

And then on March 28th, Mary Kate posted this update:

“Hey everyone. It’s Mary-Kate. So, the Battle of the Bands contest is going to be amazing. I’m really excited about all of the interest and feedback we’ve been receiving for this contest. We’ve listened to your music, and we can’t wait to narrow all of the entries down to our final Top 10 (we’ve already got a few favorites in mind). We’ll post the Top 10 Finalists here on mary-kateandashley.com, starting April 9th…”

I’m still not entirely sure what any of this means, but one interesting thing I found were the twins listing their favorite bands of late as Pearl Jam, Crosby, Stills & Nash (what no Young?), The Doors, Radiohead, Razorlight, Cream, Bob Dylan.

What’s up with all the classic-rock/blues-roots stuff? What are they like 50-year-hippies? Actually, come to think of it, they dress like a bunch of granola-munchers. The only thing missing on that list is the Grateful Dead and they would officially qualify as the perfect girlfriend for my ex. Cripes, that’s not a good thing.

So stay tuned for more cryptic Battle of The Band news from the Olsen twins. I guess.
