Full House Remake an Empty Promise
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Comedy, ABC, Gossip, Rumors,
For those who squealed at recent rumors that the Tanners will be returning in a Full House “semi-remake,” the next news might be tough.
An unnamed source has said that “we couldn’t make the deal.” According to gossip, John Stamos (a.k.a. Uncle Jesse) himself was pitching the idea, but the source claims “it’s completely dead right now.”
That doesn’t sound too hopeful. Full House was a successful family-themed sitcom which currently resides in cable syndication. The series originally ran on ABC from 1987 to 1995, and launched the careers of Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen, the Olsen twins (who jointly portrayed youngest daughter Michelle Tanner).
But don’t give up just yet. According to the mysterious source, called an “insider,” the show “could happen in the future.” So could Soylent Green - but no one’s investing in it.

MONDAY (11/10)
- Chuck (NBC, 8pm): “Chuck chances upon his ex-flame (Jordana Brewster) and embellishes his status in life to impress her.” We’re talking about a girl who starred in D.E.B.S.. He shouldn’t try too hard.
- Prison Break (FOX, 9pm): “Gretchen gives Michael the rest of the bird book, but he suffers another seizure after deciphering it.” That pretty much sums up my feelings about bird books as well.
- Samantha Who? (ABC, 9:30): “Sam is sentenced to community service, where she meets a troubled young woman (Mary-Kate Olsen) and decides to help turn her life around.” Sam has now become the better-looking version of Earl Hickey.
- 17 Kids and Counting (TLC, 10pm): “Jinger takes her driving test; the family celebrates Michelle’s birthday and responds to viewer questions.” Uhh, I have a question. Jinger? Seriously?

Mary-Kate Guest Stars on Samantha Who?
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, ABC, Showtime, Announcements, Gossip, Ratings, Rumors,
It looks as if the troubled half of the Olsen twins is truly back on her feet! Mary-Kate Olsen is returning to television again, guest starring on the ABC comedy Samantha Who?
After her 10 episode stint on Showtime’s hit series Weeds, the former child star is actually becoming an adult in the acting world (need I remind you of those straight-to-DVD movies and New York Minute?). After all, she did just turn 22… it’s about time!
The pint-sized actress plays a character who needs “saving” by Christina Applegate‘s title character. Sources say that although she has only been scheduled for one episode, everyone has been more than happy about her performance. Hopefully she can graduate to real films now!
The episode is scheduled to air this upcoming fall.

Mary-Kate Olsen Officially Enters Emmy Race
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Award Shows, Drama, Showtime, Gossip,
Showtime has entered famous twin Mary-Kate Olsen as a nominee for the Emmys, a result of her 10-episode stint on Weeds. Olsen is entered in the best guest actress category, which could potentially set her up to run against Lindsay Lohan (scheduled to appear on Ugly Betty) and Britney Spears (How I Met Your Mother).
Submitting an Emmy nominee entry is no laughing matter. Each entry costs a few hundred dollars apiece, proving that Showtime has a lot of faith in their young guest actress. So far, neither Britney nor Lindsay have been entered into the race, though popular speculation assumes both will be in the near future.
Olsen appeared in two-thirds of the season’s episodes, portraying a hard-core Christian drug dealer. The role was Mary-Kate’s first major solo effort, as the actress has always routinely worked with sis Ashley. If Olsen is nominated, it will be her second turn at the Emmys. Mary-Kate was nominated, though Ashley was not, for her work on So Little Time. Two rounds of voting will determine whether or not Mary-Kate Olsen wins the nomination - and only then will she be a viable contender for the actual award.

The Many Loves of Ashley Olsen
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Gossip,
Twin sis Mary-Kate has been making movies and taking guest star roles on TV…but what’s Ashley Olsen up to? The still-blonde twin has been making headlines with her love life (because although it’s an election year and there’s still an active writers strike there seems to be very little to discuss media-wise).
Olsen was spotted at an LA event recently with ex-boyfriend Jared Leto. Reportedly, the pair were holding hands and even making out, but one source says they’re still just friends. What’s a few kisses between exes, right?

Kissin’ Mary-Kate Olsen
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Gossip, Rumors,
Mary-Kate Olsen was recently spotted in a nightclub cozied up to Dave Annable of Brothers & Sisters fame. The pair were seen playing tonsil hockey and looking pretty hot and heavy in a darkened nightclub. Annable is seven years’ Mary-Kate’s senior, a much smaller age gap than the one in twin sister Ashley Olsen’s alleged romance with cyclist Lance Armstrong.
Mary-Kate is known for being somewhat reticent with the press and highly protective of her privacy, but apparently that doesn’t extend to making out with hot young stars in a darkened club. Is this the beginning of a new romance for Olsen, or just a passing flirtation? Keep your eyes peeled for the pair in a dark club somewhere near you.

Mary-Kate Olsen Hospitalized
Mary-Kate Olsen, one of the most famous twins in the world, is currently in a New York hospital. Don’t get your gossip into gear yet – this time, the 21-year-old actress isn’t suffering from an eating disorder, say her reps. According to reports, Olsen has a kidney infection which put her into the ER. She is now resting and will reportedly be released in one or two days.
Despite the problems that plagued her in the past, Mary-Kate recently told reporters she has been in good health. Olsen has been working on several projects lately, including a stint on Showtime’s Weeds.

The Story Behind Mary-Kate Olsen’s Frown
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Drama, Showtime, Talent, Gossip,
If you’ve ever seen a tabloid photo of Mary-Kate Olsen and wondered “what’s the deal…is she pissed or something?” – the answer is yes. The 21-year-old twin sat down recently with Entertainment Weekly to talk about the paparazzi, a problem to which all her Hollywood contemporaries (and not a single fan of hers) can relate. Mary-Kate told the magazine she doesn’t want her picture taken, and that it’s only “okay” at the red carpet or during a photo shoot. Olsen covers her face and doesn’t like to smile when her photo gets shot – which accounts for at least some of the tragic pictures of her that have appeared over the years. Mary-Kate’s 10-episode stint on Weeds will begin this month.

More Than Legal: Mary-Kate and Ashley Turn 21
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Talent, Gossip, News,
Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen turned 21 Thursday, a milestone birthday for the famous former child stars. Though they still have a huge fan base, much of it springing from the tween and teen set (not to mention a host of men who just love the way they look), the well-known identical twins have been seen less and less in movies and TV and more and more in tabloids. Are they quickly heading down a darkened path of former child stardom, the road many other actors have trod? Not every child actor fades into obscurity – just look at former wild child Drew Barrymore, who was famous tabloid fodder for drug abuse problems and a score of other antics when she was 19. Today, Barrymore is one of Hollywood’s more bankable stars. Or will Mary-Kate and Ashley end up like the Gabor sisters twenty years from now – older, famous, and still sisters, but no one can remember how they got famous in the first place?
