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.

With a Gorgeous face that – who cares about her bikini…
One of the few naturally beautiful woman – she probably doesn’t really need makeup
emily | September 7, 2007 at 11:16 am

LouLou | September 7, 2007 at 11:16 am

She’s doing us a favor.
Mike | September 7, 2007 at 11:25 am
What happened here? She actually looks pretty and sweet. Maybe she’s over the goth-baglady look?
Jimbo | September 7, 2007 at 11:32 am
I have to agree with you Mike, She almost looks cute
veggi | September 7, 2007 at 11:36 am
Maybe she ate her sister, cause she does look pretty good. healthy and cute.
Ugly People Safaris | September 7, 2007 at 11:36 am
She almost looks like a real person.. that is.
Jason | September 7, 2007 at 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.
Jason | September 7, 2007 at 11:38 am
ps: I agree that she looks amazing compared to a lot of recent photos of her
@4 | September 7, 2007 at 11:42 am
Bitch look like a troll! What she doin’ wit’ dat cracka face ah hern grinnin’ like zum gremlin and shiz! You cracka’s reallyz cracks me up!
adeliza | September 7, 2007 at 11:48 am
Oh for Christ’s sake!
What ever.
Uncle Eccoli | September 7, 2007 at 11:51 am
What a snotty little bitch. She just exudes arrogance and a profound sense of entitlement. Disgusting.
stupidtalk | September 7, 2007 at 11:55 am
21. wit? hern? zum? holy fucking hell. You’re an idiot.
lambman | September 7, 2007 at 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.
minnimeme | September 7, 2007 at 12:02 pm
Who took these pics? The Sears Portrait Studio?
Realist | September 7, 2007 at 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.
Jennifer | September 7, 2007 at 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!
Shallow Val | September 7, 2007 at 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.
@24 | September 7, 2007 at 12:12 pm

bb | September 7, 2007 at 12:21 pm

stupidtalk | September 7, 2007 at 12:22 pm
@30- wow. I find it hard to be insulted by an illiterate 12 year old. “zum tree hunded.” ?????? yup. You’re an idiot.
supermotherfuckingstud | September 7, 2007 at 12:22 pm
I wonder what my dick would look like in her mouth.
Jimbo | September 7, 2007 at 12:22 pm
@30 Look krazzy Kelli is back. I guess those rumors that she was eaten by a shark are not true
harmony | September 7, 2007 at 12:23 pm

wedgeone | September 7, 2007 at 12:24 pm
I’d finger her, but I probably wouldn’t smell my fingers afterward.

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

She actually sounds quite intelligent in this interview.
Chauncey Gardner | September 7, 2007 at 1:16 pm
Is that fucking Jan Hooks from Saturday Night Live?
olsen sandwich | September 7, 2007 at 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.
Miss Tacky | September 7, 2007 at 1:27 pm
zomg she’s smiling!!!
jokadrma | September 7, 2007 at 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.
drdanny | September 7, 2007 at 2:11 pm
Mary Kate … I forget, is she the stupid one or the ugly one? Or am I thinking of the Wilson boys?
