Least Surprising News Item: Mary-Kate Drops Out

Mary-Kate Olsen has dropped out of college "to focus on her increasing responsibilities as co-president of Dualstar Entertainment Group". I thought the whole reason they went to NYU was because they'd get credit for running Dualstar?

I never understood why they even went to school anyways. They were taking classes on photography and cooking...you know what girls? That shit can be done in weekend classes under: hobbies.

Sooo...bite me.

Hey, you know what? There's nothing wrong with studying photography or cooking, ass. It's called art. Just because you don't think it's useful or because it often doesn't make the people who study it a lot of money doesn't mean it's trivial.

I always forget that she and Janet Jackson and Lindsay Lohan actually recorded or were credited with recording albums at some point or another? They're more famous for being famous by now. Just talk about the Arctic Monkeys!!

Man. The Arctic Monkeys. There was an odious "tastemaker" feature in the Guardian and every one of them was like, "oh, next year? Random Band, and Some Dude, and definitely the Arctic Monkeys."

Wow, someone's looking a little rough, a little like an in-depth cocaine addict? But remember, that poor thing has been famous since she could coo, that's a definite excuse and reason to feel so sorry for her!

um....exactly when did paying 40,000 a year tuition to take photography and cooking become "art?"

Yeah Leslie, for the record I said nothing about studying art as trivial. Here's main points you may of missed:

1. It was reported many times that they (mostly monkey drop out there) had never attended class often due to a busy schedule which therefore I'm surprised she kept up the bullshit sham of getting an education for this long.

2. Want to learn how to cook? She could shell out the cash for a chef with a ridiculous french name to teach her at will. That would of been a lot better than taking up spaces for people who'd I don't know, actually attend school and learn something.

3. Me? An ass? Well what are you complaining about, you seem to like kissing them!

she looks like she hasn't slept for a week. or eaten. maybe that's why she's so f'in pissed off.

her nail polished kink-finger thing and lipsmear are grossin me out.

too bad we can't see her anticubits to inspect for track marks. but would she be that dumb?

overall, barf-fest.

LOL, Ben!

Not much hope for the other one either,
if this is true:

TA guy: There are different types of pains, some of which go all the way to the brain and others that only go to the spinal cord.
Ashley Olsen: So do, like, emotional pains go to the brain?

i mean they make more money than G_D
if they didnt go 2 school or work 4 the rest of their lives they would still have more money than they would know what to do with

they should use the money they spend for school and donate it 2 charity or katrina

Mary-kate is really cute, but I don't understand why she is acting that way. She has plenty of money and gets to hang out with celebrities all the time. I know everyone has a breaking point, but she should just go on vacation or something. If I had all that I'd be banging Dominic Monaghan all day on my own private island! She's still cool though.

so... i think its funny that all you people are going to sit there and say shit about someone im pretty sure you dont even know. how about doing yourself a favor and grow up. if you hate her so much why are you looking at her pictures? if you had a camera in your face wouldnt you give it the middle finger. fuck. i would. your forgetting that everyone has problems. it sounds like you have enough to be completely occupied with... instead of looking up people and spending your time writing shit about them. and say what you want about what i have to say.. i wont be on this website ever again so i realy dont give a shit.

once again people slam a woman that ACTUALLY wants to learn hwo to cook, hmmm and i wonder why im not gay yet.. lets review women no longer like to cook or clean.. and if they do they want a swiffer and a 5 minute premade "just set it in teh microwave" meal, then they want you to do the dishes afterwards, rub their shoulders like they have worked all damn day... oh and think they control sex, which is utter BS.. ive proven it.. dont touch your woman for 2-3 weeks, show no interest at all, go to bed late, sleep on your side and roll over on them when they try to cuddle up with you. by the 4th week they'll be doing pretty much anything to suck it. and perhaps she wouldnt be flipping off the camera if everywhere she turned there wasnt a vulture with a camera..

the fact that the people on here that don't like her have taken the time out to obsess over slagging off one picture of her (whether you've left a ton of comments or one)...kinda says something huh?!?

seriously. the girls obviously had a rough day and is trying to escape home, a right any person has no matter how famous. a paparazzi is obviously not leaving her alone and you know what? SHES HAD THAT ALL HER LIFE - so if ONE TIME she feels like giving them something to sell so they'd piss off, why not?? she's beautiful and has been famous all her life, which can seriously change a person, so if she has issues with food and trying to fit classes into a scheduale then she shouldnt be judged on that. i heard at her school people started selling stories about her, so why should she continue to go to school and put up with that. it isnt fair on her. she never asked for this.

give her a break, god bless her.
