Aug 5 2009Ashley Olsen surprised she didn't end up like Britney
Looking surprisingly less Muppet-like in the September issue of Marie Claire, Ashley Olsen admits she's surprised her child-star years didn't turn her into a barely functional burden of the state. You know, like Britney:
"I look back at the things that we did and the clothes that we wore, and I think, Wow, we really were troupers," says Ashley--although, gazing at some hideous flowered overalls she was put in at age 6 or 7, she has to admit, "I remember really loving those."
What comes across in the photos is the degree to which the girls' lives were engineered. "It was almost like I was in the army," Ashley says. "School, work, homework, fly to New York, get in at 2 in the morning, do a morning show at 5 a.m., then another one at 7, then a radio interview at 10, you know?" Cutesy, coordinated outfits were just part of the drill. The pressure was intense and the scrutiny even more so -- "That's why I look at Britney, and I'm surprised I didn't end up like her."
That's funny. Because I look at Heath Ledger, and I'm surprised he's not alive.
But I see where you're coming from on the whole Britney thing.

Britney was 26?..so there is still time lol
4. SLUTney sucks - August 5, 2009 1:28 PM
Yeah, I'm sure she's crying. She's got a $100 Million fortune to comfort her. She owns a $20 Million penthouse in Manhatten, and can do pretty much whatever she wants to do, for the rest of her life. She needs to stop whining & have fun. Just don't do a SLUTney spears & get into drugs/alcohol...

Finally....
I've waited like 10 years for this photo spread.....

Mary Kate looks good here, but Britney has nothing to be ashamed of.
7. ha - August 5, 2009 1:35 PM
Beautiful, but I think Mary-Kate is prettier.
8. HealthyThinspiration - August 5, 2009 1:37 PM
This is Ashley Olsen, not Mary Kate - and she IS looking good! MUCH healthier than when they were so skinny.
9. Dr. Kildare - August 5, 2009 1:41 PM
The only thing she should be ashamed of is her little-boy's body and no boobs. I can forgive drug addiction (Mischa), I can forgive child endangerment (Britney) - Hell, I can forgive outright thunder-thighs (JLH) ...but a photo shoot like this and you don't deliver the goods?!? She looks like shes's the same size as when she wore those flower dresses. You got all that money bitch, but it can't buy you love.
Just another poor little rich girl,
10. lizzy - August 5, 2009 1:44 PM
bit of a ballsy statement she made about britney... but i always loved ashley olsen, she looks beautiful in these pictures, especially picture 2! she and justin bartha are a cute couple too.
11. Charles Few - August 5, 2009 1:47 PM
Huh, famous, sane and eminently frakkable. That's kinda a paradox.
12. Mary-Kate - August 5, 2009 1:52 PM
funny...if she was going to use a celeb for some sort of comparison I would have picked Lindsay over Britney to describe where Ashley is going.
13. http://www.popduds.com/ - August 5, 2009 1:55 PM
Wait, which Olsen sister has the cocaine problem again? I forget..
14. Anon - August 5, 2009 2:05 PM
She looks good in those pictures.
15. Jeffer - August 5, 2009 2:05 PM
When did this bitch get so fat????? She was much more attractive when she was younger and in shape!
16. Parker - August 5, 2009 2:07 PM
Sometimes I'm surprised Ashley Olsen's ass didn't end up on my dick. LIttle pleases me more than walking around with a midget like her stuck on the end of my penis. I could carry her in one of those little papoose things and poke her legs through the bottom and poke my weiner into her bottom then take a stroll through the city, take in the sights, maybe stop for a sandwich somewhere along the way. My weiner would be all warm and cozy in her tight little bum when we stopped to let tourists take pictures of her. All along her little midget legs would be wiggling and wiggling, trying to reach the ground but never touching down.
17. Ree - August 5, 2009 2:07 PM
Ashley is so much prettier than MK. MK has those wierd duck lips. Anyway, I thought it was MK that took out Heath, not Ashley.
18. Clamhammer - August 5, 2009 2:11 PM
My penis is confused. It just asked me to look at reruns of Full House...wait I get it now..Clever penis
19. wtf - August 5, 2009 2:20 PM

23. cracka ass - August 5, 2009 2:38 PM

25. FU - August 5, 2009 3:02 PM
just wanted to add a comment about something else.
Thanks for turning off comments for the Giuliani & Bill "story"
I guess you can't have the wave of normal comments about them being worthless and her taking it up the ass by a yak.
oh yeah....Ashley, I'd hit it...one time because she will probably break in half
26. HUMAN - August 5, 2009 3:06 PM
MMMMM!!!! I would so love to try her on for size!!
27. All Women Stalker - August 5, 2009 3:07 PM
These are gorgeous photos. She does not look thin (or midget-ish) at all.
-meream
28. Tom K - August 5, 2009 3:11 PM
Wow she turned out pretty hot!
29. Tom K - August 5, 2009 3:13 PM
#16. Your a sick fuck!! LOL funny but still a sick fuck lol
30. Amy - August 5, 2009 3:14 PM
#9, your logic is faulty...in other words (since you are obviously retarded), you make no fucking sense.
31. mike - August 5, 2009 3:43 PM
i don't think her pampered childhood was one bit like being in the fucking army. idiot girl.
32. Tom - August 5, 2009 3:56 PM
In this case, you can change "View Full Size" to "View Actual Size".
33. Bosco - August 5, 2009 3:58 PM
I'd rather be Britney at least she gets to eat .....
34. gotmilk? - August 5, 2009 4:34 PM
Yeah wow, you two two monkey faced aliens were troupers for wearing the same shit everyone else wore, except you got paid tons of money. and now she dresses well or more like a crazy homeless person? i'll go with crazy homeless person.
35. RAQS - August 5, 2009 5:09 PM
hehehe Britney is a big name for this girl!
36. god of tits - August 5, 2009 5:15 PM
she has no tits. that is unforgivable.
she should be killed.
37. Please - August 5, 2009 5:19 PM
The pain and torture of it all. It must be just awful to be a child actor victim and be expected to dress like a normal kid and wear ugly clothes. I really feel her pain.
38. Funeral Guy - August 5, 2009 6:24 PM
I'm diggin' that first outfit. I think I'll go fap.
39. Beer Baron - August 5, 2009 6:34 PM
I just hope she ends up like Heath Ledger.
40. Senior Pepe - August 5, 2009 6:43 PM
@16
Parker?... My ass!
She didn't wind up on your dick because you are really Adrian Grenier, and your "weiner" smells like feet, swiss cheese, and mackeral.
41. tard - August 5, 2009 6:44 PM
It was MK that was involved in the Heath Ledger death, not Ashley. Nice try, though, Fish

43. ROUGH Daddy - August 5, 2009 7:01 PM
Britney was very a hot girl in her prime, that wasnt smart enough to keep all the attentions and responsibilities in check. What the hell is she talking about...
44. ROUGH Daddy - August 5, 2009 8:28 PM
uh oh I smell cease and desist from ze lawyers of Vennesa...
45. investment strategy - August 5, 2009 8:32 PM
Nice pics. She is gorgeous.
46. lina - August 5, 2009 8:38 PM
she looks great!!!
47. gross - August 5, 2009 8:43 PM
I give the Photoshop artist props. Making that hag look attractive took the work of a TRUE artist.
48. Feckless - August 5, 2009 8:50 PM
Oh, Superfish, that was sooooo cold......
49. lauren - August 5, 2009 8:55 PM
so she looks really good... but WHAT HAPPENED TO MK? they've ALWAYS done everything together, and now ashley's w/o in photoshoots? something's up with that
50. ddt - August 5, 2009 8:57 PM
almost, but not quite. the heath ledger thing was definitely mary-kate.
51. Annie Loves Anal - August 5, 2009 9:41 PM
Ashley, from my understanding, is the "normal" one. She pretty much kicked MK out of their clothing lines, and now they are pretty much separate. M.K. is the loser of the two, trying to seek troll stardom as an actress. By the way, M.K. is the one that murdered Heath. Check your facts Fish!
52. Annie Loves Anal - August 5, 2009 9:44 PM
P.S. Mary Kate sucked in Weeds. Ruined that whole season for me.
53. Danklin24 - August 5, 2009 10:03 PM
Heith ledger was the other twin, or am i missing something?
54. Danklin24 - August 5, 2009 10:11 PM
#48 it would have been cold if superfish wasnt a douche and got the twins mixed up. Now he just looks like a tool.
55. jnjoblon - August 5, 2009 10:52 PM
Shes a little on the "skinny" side but damn, shes beautiful.
56. Sickitten - August 5, 2009 11:39 PM
We all know you both had your little noses bobbed together. You were a dirty looking baby & toddler. NOSE JOB
57. Sam - August 6, 2009 12:19 AM

61. lol @ rednecks - August 6, 2009 5:48 AM
the reason why olsens didn't end up a bunch of fuck ups is because they're not from the south like all the other trailer trash.
62. roxy - August 6, 2009 6:21 AM
Britney has ended up? Hm... It's really nasty when people label other people like this.Britney hasn't ended up. What the hell is wrong with you???
63. Darth - August 6, 2009 6:29 AM
Doesn't she have herself in control?
64. Galtacticus - August 6, 2009 6:34 AM
It's almost she regrets she's rich and famous.
65. Rhialto - August 6, 2009 6:37 AM
It's like it's a cult thing to go nuts for a child-star.
66. Patrick Bateman - August 6, 2009 6:38 AM
Not bad... I still believe her head would look better on the end of a stick.
67. Bobby - August 6, 2009 9:55 AM
I want to roll around in her vaginal discharge. I want her to become wet, and then sit on a chair with a fan in front of her, legs spread, and let her secretions dry out. I want to peel them off with my fingernails, put them on toast, and finish my snack off as an appetizer. I want to cover her clitoris in glazed mustard and suckle that little thing like the end of a hot dog, until it swells like a growing water balloon. Then I want to fuck her, slamming her moist little pink clam until the veins burst.
68. gotmilk? - August 6, 2009 10:30 AM
70, in your efforts to outdo Parker, you have failed miserably. His post was funny, yours is just serial killer-esque.
69. RichPort's Ghost - August 6, 2009 10:45 AM
After I read #16, I skipped past the rest of your comments... HAHAHAHAHA... that was fucking priceless...
70. biff - August 6, 2009 11:31 AM
I never thought I would ever say this, but that Olsen twin chick is making my wiener happy. I believe that the Olsen Twins becoming sexy is one of the signs of the apocalypse.
71. The Jerk - August 6, 2009 11:52 AM
I pretty much forgot about the Olsen twins till now. Sure everyone was stoked when they finally were legal to conquer but after all the boring shit they both put themselves through and ended up looking like 70 yr old widows thats when I knew my penis didnt need to focus on them anymore and onto better whores. And btw, she did end up like Britney..we just dont care to remember.
72. CreepyUncle - August 6, 2009 12:09 PM
If only these pics were taken during the Full House years.....*sigh*
73. CaptainMorgan - August 6, 2009 12:12 PM
Why does she always look so messy? Seems to come off as being VERY high maintenance and probably gives horrible oral (even though it IS on the list of chores and MUST be done daily).
74. chango666 - August 6, 2009 1:13 PM
Parker #16 . . . out fucking standing . . .funny shit !!
Bobby #67 . . .trying to hard to out do Parker at # 16.
Sorry but not even close. His was funny, yous is just stupid . . .
75. Sprmcandy - August 6, 2009 3:52 PM
Hot damn, I want her soo bad. Hot fucking bitch she is, I'd do her senseless.
76. dk - August 6, 2009 5:08 PM
What a pure beauty, class, elegance, sophistication, style and amazing good looks! A real woman here!
Anyways, can I borrow 5 dollars hun, and you and your sis wanna eat some exstacy in the hot tub later?
77. bbwsinglesdate - August 7, 2009 2:09 PM
Hey, she didn't force Heath to kill himself and overdose on sleeping pills. Everyone does drugs and no one dies. I guess she should be happy she is alive instead of trying to be a struggling actress doing b-movie skin flicks. Maybe she should just focus on producing and spending her billions of money! - shortpeopledate.com

Atleast she's decent to look at.Her sister,on the other hand,looks like the troll straight out of a kid's school play.
82. nan - August 10, 2009 8:34 PM
What a sharp comment re: Heath Ledger. ("That's funny. Because I look at Heath Ledger, and I'm surprised he's not alive.") Well said.
