We've made a habit of chiding entertainment programs like Access Hollywood and even TV Guide Channel's The 411 for blasting press releases to our inboxes announcing the most inane "scoops." But we've never seen one as pushy as the release Entertainment Tonight sent this afternoon about Mary-Kate Olsen's statement regarding Heath Ledger.

Oh, sorry, make that "MARK-KATE OLSEN."

MARK-KATE OLSEN RELEASES HEATH LEDGER STATEMENT TO ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT

January 25, 2008 (Los Angeles, CA)– Mary-Kate Olsen exclusively tells ET, "Heath was a friend. His death is a tragic loss. My thoughts are with his family during this very difficult time."

* MUST CREDIT ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT
* MUST MENTION TUNE IN TO ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT ON FRIDAY, JANUARY 25, 2008
* FOR MORE ON THIS AND OTHER STORIES, VISIT WWW.ETONLINE.COM

So, uh, we MUST CREDIT ET? And we MUST MENTION to our readers that they need to TUNE IN tonight? Even though Mary-Kate's statement was released everywhere, including, probably, other universes?

Consider the incredulous look on Mary-Kate's face the same one we're making right now.
