So after Mary-Kate Olsen left the stage in her impossibly high heels and high-hemmed, big belted blue dress, she hustled away alone _ with me right beside her.
“Mary-Kate, can I ask you a little bit more about your character on `Weeds’? I asked.
Just call me the invisible woman, because she acted as if she was all alone.
She rushed out the front door of the Beverly Hilton, trailing reporters behind her. Her publicist told me that Mary-Kate “Wasn’t taking follow-up questions,” while Mary-Kate herself looked at me with those big Margaret Keane-painting eyes.
Geeze, it wasn’t like I was looking for diet tips from her.
Her bodyguards blocked everyone off as she jumped into a limo to be whisked away.

Yep, it had to happen.
Mary-Kate Olsen has gone to pot.
Actually, the tabloid-headline-grabbing, rehab half of the Olsen Twins, has joined the cast of Showtime’s “Weeds” about a surburban mom who deals marijuana in order to make ends meet after her husband dies unexpectedly. The series returns in August for a third season.
And no, she doesn’t look any thinner than any other Hollywood actress, including the cast of “High School Musical.” But she looks a lot less healthier.
“(My character) is a good Christian girl,” she says of her character, who is a love interest for Silas. “With a twist.”
It’s the first time Mary-Kate has appeared in a role without her twin sister Ashley.
“It doesn’t feel that weird,” Mary-Kate told critics during the Showtime press conference in Beverly Hills during the summer TV critics press tour. “I’m doing what I love. And I do go on auditions by myself.”
As for creator Jenji Kohan, she looked in mock surprise saying, “I didn’t know she had a sister.”
