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."

Just How Rich ARE the Olsen Twins? Filed under ( Ashley Olsen, Daniel Radcliffe, Harry Potter, Mary-Kate Olsen )

Aside from attending fashion shows, making Starbucks runs and sporting the latest in boho chic, it's been awhile since Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen actually DID anything. Well, it turns out, they really don't have to.

The 20-year-old twins share the No. 1 spot on Forbes' Young Hollywood's Top-Earning Stars list, which was recently released. Last year, they earned a staggering $40 million, thanks largely to their Olsen-brand products aimed at the tween set.

Second place on the list? Harry Potter's Daniel Radcliffe. The 17-year-old earned $13 million last year for Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.
