If the bulk of at least one sentence can be found on another site using a search engine, the submission will be rejected. You should provide a specific source for all material. If there is a URL, provide the complete URL (rather than just "wikipedia"). If you don't and staff can't verify the information, your submission will be rejected with a request for the source.

Unless it has a direct bearing on the person's life, what their mother, grandfather, dentist, etc., did is not acceptable. Trivia should be confirmed facts, not rumors.

How MK admitted that she was on an eating disorder, and all these people are now hating on her for something nearly everybody goes through, and everyone is going to blame her for future eating disorders, even though she took responsibility for her actions! While other celebrities, Nicole Richie,… More Lindsay Lohan, are obviously lieing about their disorders and nobody is saying that kind of crap to them! The way I see it is that eating disorders are one of those things where humankind is too stupid to realize that it chased by choice! People chose to not eat or vomit after eating! MK even said that this isn't healthy for anyone! I personally think it goes to the people at home for wanting to see a skinny celebrity! Now I'm neither a hater nor a fan of MK, I'm just tired of people blaming celebrities, the media, video games, etc. for their own poor choices! I know being an adult is a hard thing to do sometimes, but it worth it, trust me!

Where can i all of Mary-Kate's Weeds episodes?
The skinny: Mary-Kate Olsen, Nicole Richie squeeze into comedy guest spots; Helfer, Olyphant grab new roles.
Former Full House munchkin sets out solo with role on Showtime's ganja comedy.
Even though this is Mary-Kate's page this is my review for both of the twins. I loved them since Full House. A lot of people hated Michelle but I thought she was funny. Like in the episode where Danny had to punish her and she tries to be cute but he remembers his shoe is wet. Or when she wanted Danny to stop treating her like a baby. Mary Kate and Ashley were everywhere when I was young. They had videos where they solved mysteries and had parties and books. Two of a Kind didn't do well as a show but the book series lasted longer. They also made books based on Full House. I use to have some of their videos.Sometimes I would be embarrassed that I use to like them. But that's ok. They are a lot better than most celebrities who are famous now.

Since i was young my fav. Family Show happen to be Full House. And i got into loving it & "The Olsen Twins" as Well. And I keep loving & likeing them on to their popular movies together & shows as well. Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen are my very fav. Young Actess ever in the whole world. They can Act & Party down much better then any other Young Actress are like them. But their is one only Actress does Level to the Olsen Twins are the same way good Act & Party down like then do. She is Hilary Duff my other fav. Young Actess ever in the whole world. Okay Now, Before Hilary Duff ever become popular she was very young yet in 1997/2001. And also Before i ever knew she was a very good actress & a singer. I liked The Olsen Twins alot before Hilary Duff come along. But Hilary Duff come along
in 2001 with Lizzie McGuire Tv Series she was a little bit better then The Olsen Twins. Hilary Duff evern beated my old likes The Olsen Twins out of my number 1 spot. She is
now my Number 1 Young Actess ever. I still like The Olsens alot but Hilary Duff Levels over them little bit better Actress then Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen are.
My Best/Fav. Young Actress are:
-Hilary Duff-(My Main/Number 1 Actress)
-The Olsen Twins-(My Co-Main/Number 1 Actress)
My sister and I grew up watching movies with the Olsen twins. Sometimes we would fantasize that we were famous like them. My sister would be Mary-Kate, and I would be Ashley. When the twins played in movies at a younger age, Mary-Kate would always be the Tomboy who wasn't afraid to get dirty and play sports with the boys. Ashley would be the one who would be proper and mature and preferred piano playing to sports. That's what made them so fun to watch: they were so alike, yet so different. Some of my favorite movies with the twins include: To Grandmother's House We Go, The Little Rascals, It Takes Two, Billboard Dad, Passport to Paris, Our Lips Are Sealed, and When In Rome.
I just think that they are talked about too too tooooo much. I mean sure they are popular and all but they arent the only actresses out there! On full house they were great. bu now withall the fashion lines and perfume, lotion, body wash, etc. and whatever else they have, thats too much. they already millionaires. they cant design (not to put them down) in my opinion! I love them, i always watched them when i was younger, all their videos, but now they just fell off. mary-kate with eating disorder, ashley with drug addiction, or pills, or whatever those girls tried! I aint fans anymore. I love full house, I have every season!
But on full house they are adorable!! they funny, cute, and have skills. I mean on sad scenes they blew me away!I just think they are very very very talented kids! Even on "Two of a Kind" they were great. (even though th show lasted only 1 season) and on "So Little Time" they were ok. I could tell they lost it though! but other than the bad acting and too many exspensive clothing lines, and perfume, I love em' still. But they just talked about tooo much
