Mary-Kate Olsen being treated for eating disorder, magazines report
NEW YORK (AP) — Mary-Kate Olsen, the brunette half of the Olsen twins entertainment empire, has entered a treatment facility “to seek professional help for a health-related issue,” her publicist said Tuesday.
Us Weekly and People magazines reported that Olsen has an eating disorder and entered the unidentified treatment centre during the past few days.
Olsen’s publicist, Michael Pagnotta, would not comment on those reports.
Us Weekly said Olsen is anorexic.
Mary-Kate and her sister, Ashley, turned 18 on June 13. They recently graduated from high school and plan to attend New York University in the fall.
They’ve been acting together since they were nine months old, most notably on the sitcom Full House and in a series of direct-to-video movies. They’ve also attached their names to a line of products ranging from clothing to beauty items to home decorating merchandise.
Their big-screen debut, New York Minute, did poorly at the box office after its May release.

I still refuse to believe that they are not identical. My love for them is equal.

I'm glad she's getting help.

you know Huck, that thread title really is a shitty thing to post

Yeah, this is a new frontier in bad taste, I hafta say.

Yeah. I kinda realized it was over the top after I posted it. Any moderator who wants to change it to, say, M-K HEALTH Watch, wouldn't get an argument from me. Unless the mods feel I need an object lesson in how big of an ass you can look like when you post without thinking and deserve the ignominy of being attached to the ugliness of the thread title.

― Huk-El (Horace Mann), Tuesday, 22 June 2004 19:45 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah, she just became legal tender!

― andy, Tuesday, 22 June 2004 19:45 (twenty-two years ago)

um, alex... don't you start threads about killing musicians with staple guns and things like that?

― lauren (laurenp), Tuesday, 22 June 2004 19:46 (twenty-two years ago)

haha so wait, if it was oh i dunno, bob hope, it'd be in good taste?

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Tuesday, 22 June 2004 19:47 (twenty-two years ago)

I still can't stop thinking of them as 6 year olds. Nevertheless, I hope she pulls through alright.

LEE PERRY CAN'T DIE:
"So I was starting to get involved in the reggae then I discovered that the meaning of the reggae it mean a strange dog who is designed to kill. So I won’t let the reggae kill me, but whoever the reggae must kill, the reggae must kill. Too much bad man and the raggamuffin a come out of it. That’s why myself in my original state is a soul man, what I was before meeting Bob Marley the reggae king. Now the reggae kings are dying and the reggae princes are dying, and I don’t want to die in it. But I will assist it to do what it have to do.
I used to love reggae, but I’m not a reggae lover anymore, I stop make reggae. Out of those reggae that I produce out of Jamaica, I wanted to build the Black Ark studio and there was no money coming from Chris Blackwell and Island Records. And neither from Bob Marley. Bob Marley write Jah Live and die. What a ting dat. Bob Marley write Jah Live and he die. Then what he want to do, him say God send God as a lion ? He write Small Axe, he said and mek the axe chop him. And he sing Duppy Conquerer and the duppy conquer him, so he’s telling lie. But I don’t want I will assist you people to do what you have to do with it, but I’m going back to Jamaica to build the Ark of the Covenant, but there won’t be no reggae musician nor dreadlocks coming through that gate. Say judgement and justice. I shall not pick up a curse, and my locks shall not wither. Says God’s son of David. My locks shall not wither, and my body shall not see corruption. And I shall not pick up a dread curse on my head. Cause I’m well blessed, I’m not cursed. I’m defending Jesus Christ. And a few dread defend Jesus Christ and say Jesus exists. And people say who say Jesus no exist, they die because they say dat. Like Peter Tosh. Yeah. All people who say Jesus Christ no exist they shall die. While I shall laugh, ha ha ha. And I really decide not to help Jamaican again. I know care who they are. Not even my family I won’t help again in Jamaica. I will not live on through the reggae. And I’m the richest man in the world, I inherit all the money and all the power. And I will not help a Jamaican again as long as I live, so help me God. And as the sun shine, and as the clothes fly. I will never change my hands and help a Jamaican again, never.
I am imitating Jesus. So my performing means spiritually healing, healing the brain of the sick people. Who are dread, and who are dead. So I have to come back and heal their brain, and heal their head, and save those from cocaine reggae. Save some from cocaine reggae, and from cancer reggae, and from death reggae. The gift of God is eternal life. And if a man is dead, don’t boil the dead, because he dead, dead, dead because he dead the sin. You can’t die unless you sin. You cannot scruple unless you sin. And you cannot paralyze unless you sin."
-Lee 'Scratch' Perry

My beef is that eating disorders aren't really a big chuckle. This is an issue for people I love. Bob Hope can eat a dick.

― Begs2Differ (Begs2Differ), Tuesday, 22 June 2004 19:53 (twenty-two years ago)

But they look exactly the same! They played the same character on Full House!

Now that's what I call an eating disorder.

I'm glad she went to the hospital. In pictures she looks like a skeleton and articles talk about her eating lettuce for lunch. Pre-teen girls across the country look up to her. It's good they can know now that she is sick that way maybe they won't try to be as skinny as she it.

The countdown the Mary-Kate's eventual book deal begins in 5, 4, 3, 2...

I can already predict what will happen. Mary-Kate's book will blame parents, "The Biz" and the unrealistic demands of society for giving her a poor body image. In a tearful Oprah appearance Mary-Kate thanks Ashley/god/kaballah/whatever for giving her the strength to survive her nightmare ordeal of medical treatment at state-of-the-art medical facilities.

Meanwhile, girls the world over without eight figure bank statements have to contend with a culture that has declared war on their body image whatever it may be. Boo fucking hoo, I have the world's smallest violin to tune up here.

If anything, the thread title isn't harsh enough.

These blood tests prove with 99.9% accuracy that not only are they identical, but Dean, you ARE the father.

― Dan I., Tuesday, 22 June 2004 22:39 (twenty-two years ago)

it does seem a bit strange, what with all of the would-be offensive things on this board that get left alone, to get righteously worked up over something about the olsen twins.

― lauren (laurenp), Tuesday, 22 June 2004 22:43 (twenty-two years ago)

You're right, Dan. I am their father. They were born out of my five year old loins and as everyone knows, five year olds can only product identical twins.

Maury Povich references so easily lost! That you were a five year old only makes the show more likely. "You're the five year old father of my world famous twins!"

― Dan I., Tuesday, 22 June 2004 23:06 (twenty-two years ago)

"product" = "produce," which is what i did to the twins olsen

I refuse to believe 5 year old boys even HAVE loins.**

(** This is prompted by my six year old son announcing that his fiance, the lovely Shania (who turned seven this past Saturday, the little hussy) and he were going to marry when they got older, "like 10" (to which I replied "these ain't the Ozarks, slim, back it up by 15 years") and that he'd kissed her on the playground, which I pointed out was sexual harrassment according to his school rules, and he said 'it's okay Mama, if she gets pregnant, it will be my baby anyway' at which point I retired to my bedroom for a little primal scream therapy (plus two shots of Patron)).
