Doing What She Does Best (We Think)

After her appearance on Showtime's Weeds, Mary-Kate Olsen is moving to network television.

The pint-size twin is set to be the latest guest star on Samantha Who?, starring Christina Applegate.

Who knew that show was still on?!

ABC has just confirmed that MK is shooting an episode this week where she'll play a character that Samantha will try to save.

An insider says of MK, "She started today, and she's terrific."

According to sources, everyone is very pleased with Olsen's performance.

Could this mean another appearance for her????

And, with Mary-Kate trying to get back to work, we wonder what Ashley Olsen is up to these days????

Does anyone know????

      She was terrible on Weeds. It's a good thing she hasn't returned yet. She did a horrible job trying to convince me she's "sexy".

      I saw Ashley Olson this past Sunday at Murray's Bagels in NYC. First off, I didn't realize that the Olsen's eat bagels!!! I knew it was Ashley only because she was with that actor from National Treasure, but otherwise I thought she looked like Mary Kate because her hair was all messy and she was in a bag lady outfit.

      Samantha Who is a fantastic and witty show that did really well in the last season.

      Most everyone knows that .

      From the time they were about–i dont know–fifteen i think, mk has said she wants to stay in front of the cameras while ashley always said she didn't see herself being an actress the rest of her life. She'd rather be an entrepreneur. So to answer your question, she's probably just working on their lines that they've had for like 10 years now.

      Why do you always say "is this show still on"? maybe you should turn on the tv at the same time as you are on the internet. Its called multi-tasking. Samantha Who is a great show!

      Saw her on weeds… horrendous "actress". Clearly, her acting skills have progressed none beyond her days on "Full House"

      she looks 40 years old in that picture. Is that the one who smokes? If so, she should quit now as it's aging her big time.

      Re: gina – That's why shes fucked up, it's deliberate! The only way to get work and awarded these days is to pretend your fucked up, going or coming from rehab, look at Amy Wino, Hohan, Britney and co.
