Will Mary-kate Be Forced To Talk In Heath Probe?
As the probe into Heath Ledger death continues, federal investigators are seeking to question "Full House" alum and Ledger friend Mary-Kate Olsen, specifically about how the late actor obtained two painkillers that contributed to his accidental overdose this past January, sources tell "The Insider." A law enforcement source tells "The Insider" that Olsen is asking for immunity before agreeing to speak with the Drug Enforcement Agency, but authorities have obtained a subpoena that could force the actress to appear in front of a grand jury if negotiations fail. On Monday, Olsen's lawyer released this statement: "Despite tabloid speculation, Mary-Kate Olsen had nothing whatsoever to do with the drugs found in Heath Ledger 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. 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."[Read full story on The Insider]

Paul Mccartney Writes Emotional Song About Ex-wife Heather Mills
Sir Paul McCartney has written an "emotional and powerful" love song for ex-wife Heather Mills. The former Beatles legend - who agreed to pay Heather a staggering ?65 million divorce settlement following a bitter public battle earlier this year - has teamed up with electronic music star Nitin Sawhney to record the acoustic ballad entitled "My Soul." Sawhney said: "Paul has done a track about how he feels about Heather and what was going on with the paparazzi because no one has heard his side of it at all - so this will be the first time anyone hears a song relating to that subject. It's a very emotional and very powerful song." A friend of the musician added to the MailOnline website: "What the song shows is that rather than feeling embittered towards Heather, Paul just feels sorry for her." "He feels sorry that she was never able to tell him the full truth about her past life. He feels that their romance happened so fast and so publicly that a lot never really got said." "Paul knows Heather is a complex person, and deeply misunderstood - but that she has hardly helped herself by being less than transparent about her life." Lyrics on the heartfelt ballad include Paul singing about how Heather helped him cope following the death of his first wife Linda in 1998, and phrases such as, "We could climb every mountain, swim through every sea. When the all world is asleep we could set ourselves free." The song will appear on Sawhney's new record "London Undersound," which will be released in October.

The pictures include a "sizzling" photograph of the 25-year-old actress wearing only black fishnet stockings, a garter belt and bustier that completely exposes her breasts. Gossip website gawker.com claims the shots will be made public "in another two weeks or so." Anne is so keen to stop the pictures being published she reportedly asked her older brother Michael to recover them from a hidden storage box in the Bronx, New York where Raffaello had kept some of his and Anne's belongings. However, the FBI - who are investigating the businessman following his arrest for fraud and money laundering in June - had already removed the shots as they searched for evidence against Raffaello. Raffaello is rumoured to have paid a top photographer - who is believed to have copies of the shots - to take the pictures.
