Though it's being listed under the incorrect address of 419 Broome Street, the apartment Heath Ledger was residing in when he died earlier this year is now on the market. Curbed points out the address is actually 421 Broome, but may have been changed in the listing to keep away any media attention. They also note that it's going for $4,000 more than Ledger paid, at $26,000/month, and the "4,400-square-foot Soho spread" has been "quietly......

The U.S. Attorney's Office won't need Mary-Kate Olsen to testify because it has closed its investigation into how Heath Ledger obtained painkillers which contributed to his death. Rumors swirled about MKO's involvement and how she would only talk if given immunity, leading her lawyer to proclaim, "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" and that......

The NYPD may have closed their probe into Heath Ledger’s fatal overdose, but federal investigators are still looking into the case. Or trying to look in, anyway – the Post reports that Mary-Kate Olsen is refusing to speak with investigators. Olsen, who was the first person called when her masseuse found Ledger’s body last January, is seeking immunity from prosecution in exchange for talking to the feds. DEA investigators are particularly interested in determining the......

The Observer talked to some fanboys (and girls) waiting for the IMAX screening at Lincoln Center last night;......

At a press/industry screening of The Dark Knight at the Lincoln Square IMAX last night, the line was already halfway down 68th Street an hour before showtime – and these are the overprivileged industry slobs. It’s going to be pandemonium Friday once the rabid fanboys take over. But you already knew that; the question of the hour is, “Does it live up to the hype?” Well, considering that the anticipation level rivals that of......

The black carpet was rolled out at the AMC Loews Lincoln Square cinemas for the feverishly-anticipated premiere of The Dark Knight.

An “insider” tells the Post that the late Heath Ledger’s ex Michelle Williams is furious with Ledger’s family over the management of his estate. Ledger’s 2003 will, made out before his daughter Matilda was born, bequeathed everything to his father, mother and siblings; Matilda is now considered the beneficiary, but according to the Post, Williams thinks Ledger’s dad Kim will blow his Dark Knight millions before Matilda reaches 18.

Word on Heath Ledger's will has hit the newswire, and according to documents filed in Manhattan Surrogate's Court, he had less than $145,000 in New York assets when he died on January 22nd. The figure includes about $100,000 in bank accounts, a $25,000 Toyota Prius and $20,000 in furniture and fixtures. Those numbers, however, do not reflect the size of Ledger's estate. There may be some property holdings in Australia and money tucked in trusts.......
