Federal investigators from the Federal Drug Administration are trying to figure out how exactly Heath Ledger got his hands on the two drugs that killed him, Oxycodone (OxyContin) and hydrocodone (Vicodin). He didn’t have a prescription for ether of the two drugs. He either purchased them illegally or someone gave them to him.

My guess is that someone gave them to him. Something tells me that Heath Ledger wasn’t schlepping around the East Village buying pain pills.

Investigators want to question Mary-Kate Olsen. The creepy looking former child actor was a close friend of Heath Ledger. When a masseuse entered Ledger’s apartment and found him dead, she called Mary-Kate Olsen three times before even calling 911. The masseuse worked for Mary-Kate Olsen as well as Heath Ledger.

Mary-Kate Olsen is refusing to speak to investigators unless she is given immunity. I wonder what she has to hide? My guess is that she was the one that gave Heath Ledger the pills.

As if I wasn’t already looking forward to the summer.

Wizard magazine has been the target of criticism from online female comic book fans over the fact that the magazine now labels itself as the #1 men’s pop culture magazine. My opinion has always been that it doesn’t matter what Wizard calls itself.

Wizard magazine is irrelevant.

A monthly magazine sold at grocery stores dedicated to superhero comic books may have had a place in the 1990’s. We are now nearly eight years into the twenty-first century. A monthly comic book magazine can’t hope to compete with the likes of Newsarama, Comic Book Resources, ICv2, The Beat, The Comics Reporter, Journalista, or the hundreds of blogs dedicated to comic books.

By the time you read about something on the pages of Wizard magazine it’s already old news. Chances are you already read about it a couple of months ago online.

It appears now that Wizard isn’t even relevant as far as a printed magazine is concerned. The UK magazine Empire is the first to show a full image of Heath Ledger as the Joker from the upcoming Batman movie. Click on the photo to see a much larger version.

If Wizard was relevant, this photo would have first appeared on it’s cover, not on the front of Empire.
