Mary-Kate Olsen Working?! Filed under ( Ashley Olsen, Jenji Kohan, Mary-Kate Olsen, Showtime, Weeds )

I know, I know. I'm as shocked as you are. Mostly when we see Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, it's in oversized ratty clothes, toting a Starbucks latte, or in the front row of fashion shows. But yes, I kid you not. One of them is actually going back to work. 'Course they can obviously afford not to work, but don't they get bored?

Mary-Kate Olsen is going to be costarring on Showtime's Weeds this season, playing Tara, a Christian girl who is the love interest of Nancy's son, Silas. Mary-Kate will appear in 10 of the 15 episodes.

Weeds creator Jenji Kohan tells the Hollywood Reporter that Olsen was "absolutely charming" at her read-through, "and seemed like a great fit. Audiences have seen only one side of Mary-Kate, but here we'll see her in a whole new light."
