Ashley Olsen surprised she didn’t end up like Britney

August 5th, 2009 // 97 Comments

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.

    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…

    Mary Kate looks good here, but Britney has nothing to be ashamed of.

    This is Ashley Olsen, not Mary Kate – and she IS looking good! MUCH healthier than when they were so skinny.

    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,

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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
