Mary-Kate Won't Smile for the Paparazzi
NEW YORK (Sept. 7) - You see a tabloid shot of Mary-Kate Olsen and think, "Why does she look so depressed?" Well, there's a reason for that. "I don't want my picture taken," the 21-year-old actress tells Entertainment Weekly magazine. "The only time I think it's OK is at a red-carpet event or a photo shoot.
"So every time I see paparazzi, I cover my face so they don't get a picture, and I'm just `the mean person who doesn't smile."'
Olsen, whose waiflike figure has made her a target of media scrutiny, avoids public displays of attention.
"I would love to be able to swim in the ocean in Malibu," she says. "But that is asking for a bikini shot. That's inviting something that I don't want to happen. I don't need to be on a `Who's Skinny, Who's Fat, Who's Looking Healthy, Who's Not Eating?' list."
After a hiatus from acting, Olsen - who rose to fame on TV's "Full House" in a shared role with twin sister Ashley - will portray an alluring Christian girl on Showtime's "Weeds." Her 10-episode arc begins Sept. 17.
She also returns to the big screen in "The Wackness," co-starring Ben Kingsley. The film is slated for release next year.
"There's definitely been times in my life when I just turned to people and said, `I'm done, this is too much for me, this is too overwhelming,"' Olsen says.
She's in a healthy frame of mind these days.
"Mentally, physically, I feel pretty on top of my game right now," Olsen says. "Talk to me next week, I don't know. Today, I feel good."

They've just started a new line of clothes.
Makes sense that they don't smile for the paparazzi. It must be annoying growing up in the spotlight (even for the money you got as a kid).

i agree. They have been in the spotlight since they were 3 months old. 21 years of a contstant flash and always on the cover of some magazine I'd be finding a rock to live under
I really do feel bad for them.

Re: Mary-Kate Won't Smile for the Paparazzi
While I do feel badly for them, because they didn't initially choose to be celebrities, they have decided to keep acting (Mary Kate has a role in Weeds), and I think the paparrazzi is a price an actor/actress pays for being famous and earning a TON of money.

But does Mary Kate even smile at red-carpet events & such? She is always so morose, much more so thant Ashley, who I kinda like.
I read an interview with Ashley ( in Marie Claire, I think), she said when she is driving and sees someone following her, she freaks out the way anyone would if some guy was following them, even though, she knows it is just a photographer. It was pretty sad.
