Sep 7 2007Mary-Kate Olsen doesn’t want you to see her bikini
Mary-Kate Olsen wants to be able to hit the beach without fear of predatory bikini shots. While being interviewed about her recurring role on the upcoming season of Weeds, Mary-Kate talked to Entertainment Weekly about her career and the media. Here’s what she had to say:
On her career with twin sister Ashley
“If you look at our career from 21 years ago to today, it was about entertaining a specific audience. It wasn't about acting. It was about pleasing other people and making kids smile.”
On her latest role
“To say that I got to work with those people - with Mary-Louise Parker! - is a great thing. We did have to change our signs, though. When we were on location, we couldn't have Weeds signs up because we would get stalkerazzi.”
On the constant media attention
“So every time I see paparazzi, I cover my face so they don't get a picture, and I'm just ‘the mean person who doesn't smile.’ I would love to be able to swim in the ocean in Malibu. But that is asking for a bikini shot. That's inviting something that I don't want to happen. I don't need to be on a 'Who's Skinny, Who's Fat, Who's Looking Healthy, Who's Not Eating?' list.”
Mary Kate is doing another sitcom. How original. Weeds is exactly like Full House. Except for the profanity. And rampant drug use. And graphic sex. And maybe it has quality acting, an intriguing plot and characters you don’t want to throw under a bus. But, other than that, yeah, it’s the exact same thing as Full House. Geez, try something different for a change.
NOTE: I did get a bikini shot of Mary-Kate Olsen once. It basically looked like two pieces of fabric stapled to a broomstick. If that just turned you on, you’re either a very horny janitor, or in need of shock therapy.

She's doing us a favor.
15. Mike - September 7, 2007 11:25 AM
What happened here? She actually looks pretty and sweet. Maybe she's over the goth-baglady look?
16. Jimbo - September 7, 2007 11:32 AM
I have to agree with you Mike, She almost looks cute
17. veggi - September 7, 2007 11:36 AM
Maybe she ate her sister, cause she does look pretty good. healthy and cute.
18. Ugly People Safaris - September 7, 2007 11:36 AM
She almost looks like a real person.. that is.
19. Jason - September 7, 2007 11:37 AM
I say good for her. The public has gone way overboard in the past 5-10 years or so with celebrities and having to document every second of their lives and dismantle every word that comes out of their mouth (or things they don't say even). I like sites like this as much as the next person, but there's a line somewhere that celebrities (who are also 'people') should be allowed to draw for themselves. I can't imagine what it'd be like to constantly have hundreded of shutterbugs snapping away at me 24/7.
20. Jason - September 7, 2007 11:38 AM
ps: I agree that she looks amazing compared to a lot of recent photos of her
21. @4 - September 7, 2007 11:42 AM

23. Uncle Eccoli - September 7, 2007 11:51 AM
What a snotty little bitch. She just exudes arrogance and a profound sense of entitlement. Disgusting.
24. stupidtalk - September 7, 2007 11:55 AM
21. wit? hern? zum? holy fucking hell. You're an idiot.
25. lambman - September 7, 2007 11:56 AM
Those were really good and reasonable answers. I like that she fessed up that she was "entertaining a specific audience" and not being a serious actress...she was clearly successful at that.
#5 "if you dont want your picture taken then don't enter that business."
That sounds really stupid considering she didn't choose to enter this business, she was on full house before she could speak it wasn't exactlya choice to enter or not. And yes she is still persuing an acting career, but really that's the only thing she has ever know. Ashely isn't acting anymore and still gets photographed just as often.
26. minnimeme - September 7, 2007 12:02 PM
Who took these pics? The Sears Portrait Studio?
27. Realist - September 7, 2007 12:04 PM
Who really wants to see in a Bikini? She is looking better though. And she seems to have her head on her shoulders these days. Like her much more than most of the celebusluts.
28. Jennifer - September 7, 2007 12:04 PM
Her face looks like it hurts. Like it's plastic and if she actually smiles, it will break. AND she needs a manicure!
29. Shallow Val - September 7, 2007 12:04 PM
ET, mixed with beanpole with wrinkly knees on top of red fucking high heels. She's mixed bag of yechh!
She'll never look like a real woman. She's going from little itty bitty girl and then to tiny old lady. There'll be no in between for those two.
Sad.
30. @24 - September 7, 2007 12:12 PM

42. Darth Hater - September 7, 2007 12:44 PM
Those are some awfully cheesy photos, but at least she doesn't look homeless like normal.
43. Shallow Val - September 7, 2007 12:46 PM
I'm looking at the pics again and you know what? She's kinda ugly, non?
44. ===KrazyHotKelliKlone===== - September 7, 2007 12:46 PM

She actually sounds quite intelligent in this interview.
46. Chauncey Gardner - September 7, 2007 1:16 PM
Is that fucking Jan Hooks from Saturday Night Live?
47. olsen sandwich - September 7, 2007 1:18 PM
this chick is ugly and always has been. if you were ugly and had a billion dollars, you would look like this chick. yeah she has nice skin, but she is a billionaire! what money can't buy you is a naturally pretty face...unless you cut out some poor chicks face hot face and graft it onto yours...which is totally plausible of course. oh and does she have the same condition as renee zelleweger...what is it called? oh yeah...cancer of the face! it leaves you with the inabililty to smile properly...i feel so bad for her and renee...cancer of the face must really suck. i mean really have you seen renee z. smile decently in any kind of way, ever? fuck. not to go on a rant here...but...who the fuck is this chick anyways? other than full house what has she done (i guess other than weeds now as well) she hasn't done shit! i don't even think i have heard her voice on any medium since she was five. this chick would be lucky if they took pics of her at a beach...although the photogs would prolly just want to save their film for an actual woman with breasts and an ass and without cancer of the face.
48. Miss Tacky - September 7, 2007 1:27 PM
zomg she's smiling!!!
49. jokadrma - September 7, 2007 1:52 PM
She is looking pretty good here, and by good I mean in a normal, healthy ... eating food kind of way. Good for her.
50. drdanny - September 7, 2007 2:11 PM
Mary Kate ... I forget, is she the stupid one or the ugly one? Or am I thinking of the Wilson boys?
51. George - September 7, 2007 2:43 PM
Did she and her sister both flunk out of the University that they were once attending? And, what was their major ?
She looks like an older drugged out version of the baby she played on whatever that sitcom was in the '80s.

46: RAD, Chauncey! My girl Jan! harharhar!
53. inmyown - September 7, 2007 4:41 PM
why did she pluck her eye brows so small? it makes her look so much younger..
other wise.. cute pics!
54. Wicked Wendy - September 7, 2007 5:44 PM
Hey JImbo.......I have to agree I think it's her...and to think that just yesterday I was counting my lucky stars that school was back in......sigh.....I should've never expressed my relief aloud at KK being gone....DAMN IT AT TO HELL !!!
55. Brinkman - September 7, 2007 6:10 PM
I'm willing to help MKO maintain a healthy weight. I'll feed her a hot protein blast anytime she want to suck one out. I figure girls with eating disorders are orally fixated, so MK probably smokes pole like a pornstar.
56. jrzmommy - September 7, 2007 6:27 PM
i've always liked her. she seems so sweet.
57. zebedee - September 7, 2007 8:06 PM
She has a darling little face.
58. zebedee - September 7, 2007 8:06 PM
Christ. Imagine the horror of seeing her mate with a negro.
59. xxReeniexx - September 7, 2007 8:09 PM
Rofl. Her eyebrows are so damn scary.
60. justtheobvious - September 8, 2007 12:39 AM
bitch needs to get some mascara that doesn't make her damn eye lashes clump together. What a stuck up hoe. Her and her dopey sister will never be in anything that makes money. They were ugly kids and now they are stupid adults.
61. b - September 8, 2007 3:02 AM
alien...shes an alien
62. eeva - September 8, 2007 6:53 AM
so she's ugly? ok then most people should wear bags over their heads if that is ugly,probably including the person who wrote that.
i mean wtf everybody famous is ugly?i mean we all must be retarted then dont u think?
63. pervertedmoron - September 8, 2007 12:36 PM
these girls were hot when they were 12, if they could have stayed that age forever.
64. justtheobvious - September 8, 2007 10:24 PM
Its not that shes ugly, shes stupid and stuck up. Sure, she didn't get in the business on her own, but it isn't like she is employable at any stretch, so take some acting lessons, oh and some fashion lessons too with all the money you and your fat sister has and make something of yourselves instead of cry because someone might take your picture and make fun of you for being as useful as Paris Hilton. Well, at least Paris gets us bikini pictures everyday. Plus an occasional porn.
65. cookie monsta - September 8, 2007 11:30 PM
hows the frikken relief this stick insect is keeping her clothes on? I, for once, have finally found something to like about an Olsen !!
kelli is a farkenawful bucket of bats piss.
66. Lenina - September 9, 2007 2:25 AM
@25 - Yes, because all child stars must continue acting as they get older. No child star has ever left the public eye and gotten a real job. And they all get photographed all. the. time.
67. crushed-x-beauty - September 9, 2007 9:29 AM
Wow.
What the fuck is wrong with her face?
68. Stix - September 9, 2007 4:26 PM
wow... i cant really find anything bitchy to say about her
i wish i had a face like that
69. Mama Pinkus - September 10, 2007 4:26 AM
Seriously creepy-looking; love-child of Kate Hudson and............I dunno, someone.
70. Isabel - September 10, 2007 6:20 PM
Wow, She smiles! That's a good look for her :)
71. Scotcha - September 10, 2007 10:39 PM
OK, if you find the Olsen twins attractive, you masturbate to Muppets.
72. D. Richards - September 12, 2007 3:19 PM
There's only one reason why Mary-Kate doesn't want anyone to see her smile; all of her vomiting has caused her teeth to erode. Stomach acid fucks teeth up. Poor billionaire.
73. Pooface - September 13, 2007 5:58 AM
@ D Richards...her teeth are visible in one of these pics and they look perfectly fine.
74. Narcissist - October 17, 2007 2:52 AM
I think she could wear Eskimo clothes at this point and still get on the "Who's Skinny, Who's Not Eating" lists.
She needs that kids outfit from "A Christmas Story".
Teeth look nice in 4. The smile just looks a bit awkward. Maybe demure smiles work best for them (like 1 and 2).
75. Laura - February 23, 2008 3:56 AM
Hang on. Jennifer Love Hewitt is "fat", and Mary-Kate looks like a broomstick? Man, they have a weight difference of about five pounds. Are you telling me that there is the "perfect weight", a secret number, calculated to the nanogram, that only you and a few other chosen people know about?
Seriously, get a life.
76. heaths ghost whispers - August 6, 2008 2:17 PM
Mary-kate olsen looks Anorexic from all the "Coke" she's been doing. now only if she now tells the truth about Heath Ledgers Death and tell were she got the deadly drugs that killed that poor guy she will gain more weight. he must be Spinning in his grave right now "Screaming" what the fuck did this bitch give me!
