While some reports say police investigating the death of actor Heath Ledger are now planning to question Mary-Kate Olsen about calls she received from Diane Lee Wolozin, the masseuse who discovered Ledger's body, others refute that claim. (The body rubber, who called Olsen prior to her 911 call, is likely to find herself in legal trouble as she did not hold a state license to practice massage therapy. Licensed massage therapists are supposed to be certified in CPR.) When Wolozin finally called 911 after nearly nine minutes of calls with Olsen, she attempted CPR under instructions from the 911 operator. Wolozin then called Olsen a fourth time after the paramedics arrived.

People mag explores the apparently close relationship between Ledger and and the wee actress. They were casually dating and liked the same cigarettes and party places. A source tells the tab that "they were hooking up, but neither were particularly interested in making it exclusive."

Last night, Ledger's father flew from Australia to New York, where Ledger's body is being prepped at an Upper East Side funeral home. It is not yet known if they'll bury Ledger in Australia or stateside. Reps for Ledger said earlier today that there are no plans for a public service. The Ledger family have bared their grief in wrenching messages. (Warning: If you're reading this at the office, tears possible—even for you hardened assholes.)

Daniel Day-Lewis interrupted Oprah's string of obvi Oscar questions to talk about Ledger's death. The There Will Be Blood star expressed his condolences to the family and said, "I didn't know him, I have a strong impression I would have liked him very much."

In other news, none other than Barbara Walters–reject Star Jones made a plea to respect Heath's legacy and let his family grieve in private without gossipmongering. Duly noted, Star Jones!

damn, i just got chills reading those family missives...esp. the chess one...
