Ashley Olsen Dishes On Why She’ll Never Act Again

Written by Kelly Bandas on March 7, 2012 – 12:27 pm -

Did she say it’s because she feels threatened ’cause her li’l sis, Elizabeth Olsen, is like, the greatest thing to hit the Hollywood scene since Botox became mainstream?

Oh wait, sorry – was that rude?

In an interview with ELLE U.K., the actress-turned-fashionista opened up about why she decided to take a break from being in front of the camera for A New York Minute.  C’mon, you all know you saw that movie!

We worked non-stop until we were 18. Then we decided to take a break and go to school — and that was when we decided to question whether we would carry on in entertainment… It was time to step behind the process. I wanted to work on other things. It doesn’t mean I’m not interested in Hollywood, I like the way it operates and the people who are involved and the sense of possibility. But if I ever do get back in, it’s not going to be as an actress.

She’s not kidding about working non-stop.  Those twins were freaking ev-er-y-where in the 90′s!

While we respect Ash’s decision to step away from the spotlight, we can’t say we aren’t secretly (or not so secretly) hoping for a 20th anniversary reunion of the entire cast of To Grandmother’s House We Go

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen Named Vogue’s Best Dressed Siblings

Written by Kelly Bandas on November 12, 2011 – 8:50 am -


Twinsies Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen were named “Best Dressed Siblings” in Vogue’s annual Bessed Dressed Issue.

Really?  Because I sort of alway think they look like two conjoined bag ladies wearing far too many sequins.

The ‘zine, which will hit newsstands November 15th, breaks down Hollywood’s fashion elite and let’s us normies know just who and what to copy when we’re shopping out of the margin bins at TJ MAXX.  What I’m saying here is that it’s a must read before you do your Winter shopping.

Other celebrity siblings gracing Vogue’s Top 10 were Dakota and Elle Fanning, Beyonce and Solange Knowles and Kate and Rooney Mara.

Personally, I would’ve gone with Willow and Jaden Smith, but that’s just me.

Ashley Olsen Covers Marie Claire (September 2009)

Written by Gossip Gal on August 6, 2009 – 5:13 pm -

Fashionista Ashley Olsen looks absolutely beautiful on the cover of the latest issue of Marie Claire Magazine (September 2009). The 23 year-old actress talks about constantly being chased by the paparazzi and just being born fashionable!!

Here are some highlights from Ashley Olsen’s Marie Claire interview:

On her and Mary-Kate’s name: “Mary-Kate and I never really wanted our names on a bunch of different things. It wasn’t us — it never felt like us.”

On driving and the paparazzi: “I love driving. But sometimes I’m not too good with it because I spend too much time looking in the rearview mirror if I know I’m being followed. You don’t respond like, ‘Oh, there’s paparazzi.’ It’s more like, ‘There’s a man, and he’s gonna attack me.’ That’s how your body responds.”

On being born with a sense of style: “I think you’re either born with a sense of style or you’re not. Either you care or you don’t. And we”—she and Mary-Kate—”love fashion. When we were going to NYU, I think that was the first time we were aware of the power of our personal style. Not the power of it, but the result of it. Between the big sunglasses and the Starbucks cup and the big sweaters, the hobo-chic thing, we were more shocked than anything.”
