Mary Kate Olsen Speaks About Heath Ledger's Death

Mary Kate Olsen has broken her silence about her role in Heath Ledger's death -- sort of.

The diminutive Full House star told Entertainment Tonight, “Heath was a friend. His death is a tragic loss. My thoughts are with his family during this very difficult time.”

Doesn't really answer any questions about their relationship, does it?

Kelly Clarkson Named to Mr. Blackwell's Worst Dressed List

Well, it wasn't a great year for Kelly Clarkson -- her album sales disappointed and she got into a fight with her record label. It looks like style guru Mr. Blackwell is rubbing some salt in her wounds -- he's named the Idol champ to his annual Worst Dressed List!

Kelly came in at #5 on the list, below Posh Spice, Amy Winehouse, Mary Kate Olsen and Fergie. That's some pretty, um, auspicious company.

Here is the entire Top 10, along with what Mr. Blackwell had to say about each of the "honorees":

10.) Alison Arngrim: "Little Nellie of the prairie, looks like a 1940's fashion editor for the Farmers Almanac."

9.) Lindsay Lohan: "Lindsay the fashion frenzy strikes again! Lohan takes fashion to a new low."

8.) Jessica Simpson: "Forget the Cowboys. In prom queen screams, can it get any worse? She's a global fashion curse!"

7.) Avril Lavigne: "Gothic make-up courtesy the mad spatula-Fashions provided by.. The house of Dracula!"

6.) Eva Green: "Stuck in neon nightmares not fit for the sane. Fashion this loud could give Bond a migraine! A profusion of confusion from toes to nose!"

5.) Kelly Clarkson: "Her heavenly voice soars above the rest... but those belly-baring bombs are hellish at best! She may be the queen of 'Pro-Active' – but that wardrobe looks downright radioactive!"

4.) Fergie: "Another style-free 'Fergie' in fashion's hall of shame? Yes, when it comes to couture chaos, guess it's all in a name!"

3.) Mary Kate Olsen: "YIKES! In layers of cut-rate kitsch, Mary Kate's look is hard to explain... she resembles a tattered toothpick-trapped in a hurricane!"

2.) Amy Winehouse: "Exploding beehives above…tacky polka-dots below... she's part 50's car-hop horror."

1.) Victoria Beckham: "Forget the fashion spice - wearing a skirt would suffice! In one skinny-mini monstrosity after another, pouty posh can really wreck-em."

TV Thoughts on Weeds (9/24): Nancy is in the Clear

I got a lot of flack for posing the question "Has Weeds jumped the shark?" last week, and I am now ready to admit that yes, I may have been a bit premature in posing that question. This week's episode, while not reaching the height of the first couple showings of the season, seemed to be getting our beloved Nancy back on track.

Of course, it wouldn't be Weeds if Nancy wasn't making a few questionable decisions, and she continued to do so in this episode. While it was awesome to watch her get her debt to Marvin erased by negotiating with the "Mexicans," was it really necessary for her to celebrate that triumph by screwing her creepy boss? I'd much prefer she resuscitate her flirtation with Conrad -- those two are hot!

My favorite moment of the episode, though, was when Nancy watched the drug dealer walk to her car and retrieve the trunk of heroin. The look on Mary Louise Parker's face, of both relief and sexual attraction, totally illustrates what a genius she is.

Mary Kate Olsen didn't have much to do in this episode, but I found her banter with Shane about the tenants of Christianity quite amusing. I also enjoyed mini-lesbian Isabelle stealing Shane's dream girl out from under his nose, as well as Andy's foray into the world of porn catering.

All in all, I have to admit I was foolish to underestimate Jenji Kohan and company. After all, this show is so entertainingly, ridiculously off-the-wall, I think the shark may have been jumped before the first episode ever even aired!

TV Thoughts on Weeds: Has the Show Jumped the Shark?

Last week's episode of Weeds was just teetering on the edge of utter ridiculousness. This week, the show may have fallen off that edge.

This was easily the weakest episode of the season thus far, taking the Nancy/U-Turn storyline to places that were just totally absurd. Knocking over Conrad's plants? Helping him train for a run? I mean, come on.

Luckily, just as it seemed that character and storyline were going to take over the show for good, U-Turn met his untimely end, at the hands of not-so-gentle-giant Marvin, no less. Good riddance, I say!

As for the rest of the show, is it just me, or has Nancy officially crossed the line into being a bad parent? The way she completely ignored Shane during this episode was almost painful to watch. Not only is the kid's dad dead, his mom is a drug dealer who has no time for him. How are we supposed to root for Nancy when she treats her child this way?

On a more positive note, I quite enjoyed Mary Kate Olsen's first appearance as Tara. A friend I was watching the show with couldn't stand her, but I found her quite believable as a pothead Christian, and found her chemistry with Silas to be palpable. I'm intrigued as to what kind of energy she'll bring to the show.

Here's hoping that U-Turn's demise means a return to form for one of the most subversive, hysterical shows on the tube.
