Anybody see the SNL rerun with Mary-Kate & Ashley? Mary-Kate just LOOKED sick next to Ashley. Why do all of these ultra-rich stars have so many problems? Seriously, hope she gets better and she isn't being rushed out of rehab so they can work on their new clothing line.

Not to be boring, but I think that celebs probably suffer from problems like drug addiction and eating disorders proportionately to their counterparts in other high-stress and/or high visibility professions. Money doesn't fix all your problems. Plus, being a celeb looks pretty lonely. It's probably a very shallow existence. I hope she gets better, too, though. She's so young.

The only thing that keeps me from being a total addict is money.

I don't understand how any of the filthy rich are Not fucked up.

i can't believe mary-kate will be sitting in classes at nyu. seems unlikely. she'll probably be getting a little "one-on-one" "tutoring".

Lots of people who have suffered from both eating disorders and drug addictions (whatever she is) have been able to go to class in college. Why should she be any different? That said, I don't know how their particular college at NYU works so their classes my actually be smaller.

"Gallatin, with its flexible course requirements and emphasis on individualized curricula, has long been the school of choice for celebrities attending NYU."

It's not exactly the standard college experience.

those SAT scores must have been frightfully low if the only school they could have bought themselves into was Gallatin. You'd think 300 billion dollars would have gone a longer way...

Aside from *maybe* their accounting and/or "money skills," how the f*ck did they get into NYU? It's surely not for their personalities or intelligence. Last time I checked neither of them were raw foodists who practiced Buddhism...*gag on those two*

My roommate's sister who's dating the Olsens' cousin says MK's friends had a huge party to celebrate her release from drug rehab on Friday night.

Ashley evidently gave MK a belated birthday/12-step release gift: a big custom made mirror, 18 karat gold straw, and an ounce of bolivia's finest puro. What a great sister!! OMG OMG I luv uuuuuuu!!!!!!!!!!!! ure so awesome!!

The twins are 18 and students at New York University. Say hi to your sis

I bet none of us could survive living as a celeb. It has got to be hard. Everyone has their own stress-maybe she couldnt take the stress like her sis did. Everyone is trying to loose weight now a days and trying 2 look good.Looks and looking like a stick is in these days so maybe she was into depression N got hooked on crack. No one should judge any one-b/c you don't know unless you walk a mile in their shoe. I hope she gets well soon.

do you guys know if mary-kate suffers from depression or any other mental illness??? i haven't heard if she does or not, but that would explain the possible suicide scar on her wrist???

MK may have been suicidal, I don't know, but the "scar" on her wrist is not a "scar" at all. It's a tendon which someone thinking they could make a quick buck altered in photoshop. As a
SI-er, I can tell you that to make a scar that wide, the blade wouldn't even be able to break the skin, much less leave a scar that visible.

Yea, but then if she cut over and over in the same spot it would make somethign like that, i am also a SIer and i got mega wide scars by pouring acid onto the cuts, so maybe she did somethign liek that!

Mary-Kate and Ashley are incredibly talented, and independent woman. But even though they have their own multi-million-dollar buisness, make movies, and travel around the world... They are still just two girls. And all girls have different problems, and issues, no matter whether they're celebrities, or ordinary people. Therefore, I believe that Mary-Kate is incredibly brave, and strong for going to rehab, and dealing with her problems. It would be very hard to go through something like anorexia, and I, along with Ashley Olsen, and many other friends, family, and fans, are all incredibly pround of her. She should feel proud too.
Love and Support...
Rachel, (from Australia).
