Williams will not attend 'The Dark Knight' premiere

Michelle Williams has confirmed she will not be attending the premiere of her late boyfriend Heath Ledger's final complete film 'The Dark Knight' - because there is no reason for her to be there.

Michelle Williams has confirmed she will not be attending the premiere of her late boyfriend Heath Ledger's final complete film 'The Dark Knight' - because there is no reason for her to be there.

The actress has been at the centre of recent reports claiming she is snubbing the much-hyped event due to a feud between herself and the tragic actor's family over the handling of his estate.

However, the star's representative Mara Buxbaum is keen to put the rumours to rest once and for all, insisting the actress is not feuding with the Ledgers - and insisting Williams never intended to walk the premiere's red carpet.

She says: "There is misinformation all over the place. (The premiere) was never on her calendar and she's not in the movie. This isn't a press event for her. She's not going, there is no reason."

Ledger's parents and sister are expected to jet to New York from their home in Perth, Australia, to attend the premiere on 14 July - six months after Ledger took an accidental overdose at his Manhattan apartment.
