Only weeks after the overdose death of her secret boyfriend, Heath Ledger, Mary-Kate Olsen has moved on to another troubled drug abuser: Italian playboy Lapo Elkann, who — with his wild hair, eccentric fashion sense and party lifestyle — strikes an eerie resemblance to the late Brokeback Mountain star.

While in Paris for Fashion Week, MK flirted with Lapo, the heir to the $7.3 billion Fiat auto dynasty, who overdosed on cocaine and heroin at the home of a transsexual in 2005. Lapo, who now claims he has found sobriety through AA meetings in NYC, clung to life for three days in a coma before recovering.

“Mary-Kate and Lapo seemed very cozy” while sitting next to each other at the Giambattista Valli fashion show on Feb. 28, says a source. “Lapo’s a good-looking guy, and Mary-Kate seemed to love the attention she was getting from him.”

MK, 21, and Lapo, 30, are certainly no strangers to each other. They have been linked many times together on the international party circuit. “Perhaps, this time in Paris, they’ll strike up a romance,” says the source.

A shaken Mary-Kate Olsen has stepped up security after receiving hate mail and death threats from angry fans of Heath Ledger. According to a recently published report, many fans of the late Oscar-nominated actor blame pint-sized Mary-Kate for the drug overdose that led to his death in January.

“A lot of people who knew Heath and Mary-Kate in his last months know that they were partying together constantly, it wasn’t hard to connect the dots and run a line between Heath hooking up with Mary-Kate and his sad decline,” a celebrity mole reveals in a new tabloid report.

“One crazed fan sent her threatening letters. Another made menacing phone calls,” according to a friend of the actress. “Mary-Kate’s gotten more reclusive, paranoid and afraid to walk the streets than ever.”
