There’s a short piece and a great photo of Mary-Kate Olsen in the summer issue of V Magazine. It’s another promotional piece for her movie The Wackness. MK has done so much press for this film, you’d think she was the star!
Even though the article is really brief, I love how humble Mary-Kate is and how serious about acting she comes across as.
“I don’t think I’ll ever have that extreme confidence [to watch myself onscreen]. I criticize myself and know there’s no changing what’s done once the film is finished, so why torture myself? I’ll do my thing and I hope that people can appreciate my art.”
However, Mary-Kate wasn’t so lucky in avoiding seeing her performance in The Wackness, she had to stay in the theatre when it premiered at the Sundance film festival, but “thank god everyone loved the film.”
Mk also seems to be really appreciative of her current career and how it challenges her creatively. I can only hope she continues to make strong, engaging films and continues to love acting.
The scans from V Magazine are at Olsen Files if you want to check them out. I love the photo they chose!
Tags: Mary-Kate Olsen, olsen-interviews, olsen-magazinesThe Wackness was shown at the Los Angeles Film Festival last week (Hilary Duff went and saw it!). At the awards ceremony last night, it was revealed that director and writer Jonathan Levine won won the audience award for narrative feature directing!
Critics and film festivals have been loving this film! It’s a strange subject and even period to be set in, so it will be interesting to see how it does in theatres when it’s released nationwide on July 3. I’m really excited to see it and I hope it does really well!
Congrats to Jonathan and the entire cast and crew for their award!!

It’s a very brief interview, but MK does offer some sage business advice in it:
“Listen, and don’t act on impulse.”

Spencer Pratt, who is famous for being a skeeze on The Hills (and was possibly the person who leaked those photos of Mary-Kate and Ashley drinking as teenagers) is angry over the comments Mary-Kate Olsen made about him on Letterman.
“He used to play on the soccer team for my high school and he does not have a good temper,” MK said. “He walked out of a few games. He would walk off the field.”
She also said that while the two knew each other, they weren’t friends in high school. David Letterman pressed for more info but MK stayed cool and didn’t take it further. Yet, somehow, Spencer is using this moment to get in name in the papers.
“I know I’ve made it in Hollywood when a famous troll is talking about me on Letterman,” he said to US Weekly. He also said he doesn’t understand why Mary-Kate used his name to promote “her little indie film that no one is going to see.”
However, it’s hard to tell how truly pissed he is, because he used the moment to take a stab at MK too–but it could have been in jest.
“I forgive her,” he said. “She’s had to go through life as the less cute twin, which must be tough.”
Does Spencer truly think Mary-Kate was using his name as leverage? I seriously doubt it. Regardless of whether he’s angered by the comments or finds them humorous, he needs a serious ego check.

I love her dress, but am not the biggest fan of the sunglasses. But they’re very MK, aren’t they!!
One more photos, sans glasses, after the jump!

Tags: david letterman, Mary-Kate Olsen, olsen-appearances, olsen-photos, olsen-picturesMary-Kate Olsen was a guest on David Letterman last night. She was fantastic. I love the song choice they made for her entrance. She seemed a lot more comfortable than she did at Conan O’Brien.
She talks about being on Full House, celebrating her birthday at Bonaroo with Ashley and eight of her friends, being on Samantha Who?, The Wackness, making out with Ben Kingsley, how she knew Spencer Pratt as a teenager, and more.
It’s a little annoying how David keeps interrupting her, but he’s pretty funny, so I’ll let it slide.
Mary-Kate Olsen swapped her kimono-inspired white dress for a more casual pastel frock for The Wackness after-party. I think this look is another winner!
Mary-Kate plays Union, a hippie drug-user. At one point, she makes out with Ben Kingsley’s character in a phone booth. Her part is pretty small, but I’m still excited to see the film!
