Mary-Kate Olsen & Spencer Pratt Feud Started in High School
Originally posted 06/30/2008 12:45PM
It's starting to heat up into another classic Hollywood feud:
Mary-Kate Olsen vs. self-promoting bad boy Spencer Pratt.
But well before Olsen publicly dissed the villain from The Hills for being a bad-tempered high-school spoilsport on the Late Show with David Letterman Friday, the seeds of their mutual antipathy were already planted.
In a 2007 Details article about Brody Jenner, best friend Pratt brags to a reporter about how he once made $50,000 by selling a photograph of Olsen drinking at a party back when the two attended the same high school.

Mary-Kate Olsen Finds Ben Kingsley's Kisses 'Comfortable'
Originally posted 06/28/2008 12:00PM
Having already heard from Ben Kingsley on how it feels to kiss Mary-Kate Olsen – for their new movie The Wackness, that is – now it's her turn to describe their mutual make-out session.
"We shot it at three o'clock in the morning and so everyone was a bit delirious anyhow," Olsen, 22, tells the Wall Street Journal about working with the 64-year-old Gandhi Oscar winner.
The heavy smooch takes place in a phone booth – but the two did anything but phone in their performances. "He was so professional about it and made me feel so comfortable," she says. "He said, 'Anything you don't feel comfortable about, let me know. You lead me.' "

Mary-Kate Olsen Guest Stars on Samantha Who?
Originally posted 06/24/2008 07:40PM
Mary-Kate Olsen spent her second day on the set Tuesday of ABC's comedy Samantha Who? for a one-episode appearance this fall, the network confirms.
Olsen, 22, plays a self-destructive bad girl who reminds Samantha (Christina Applegate) of her younger self, but on the set she was all business, Executive Producer Don Todd tells PEOPLE.
"She showed up alone, ready to work, is great on set and is serious about the job," says Todd. "This is a girl who's been in front of the camera almost literally her entire life. She's smart, and she knows what she's doing."
Olsen has been stepping out in comedies as of late – she starred as Tara Lindman on Showtime's Weeds last year – and can be seen opposite Ben Kingsley in the film The Wackness, which hits theaters on July 3. –Pamela Warrick

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen began their celebration on June 12, by exploring downtown Nashville's Lower Broadway, where they stopped into The Wheel, a honky tonk bar, listened to the Rob Skaggs Band and drank diet Red Bull and Patron. "They were just having a good time with their friends," says an observer. "Everyone was laughing and dancing. They all seemed very relaxed."
