According to People Magazine, Mary-Kate Olsen is currently in hospital with a kidney infection. They say she’ll be out in a couple of days.

Why is it that it always seems so much more nauseating to think when rich, weird celebrities who don’t do much except sleep all day and then go out at night to parties and drink Patron shots and order over priced sushi so they can motor it around a large white plate for an hour go and get themselves ill and go to hospital? I mean, compared with the same thing happening to your own cousin or something. I mean, your cousin goes to hospital for a kidney infection – big deal, they’re probably insured, they’ll be fine.

With celebrities it’s always as though the illness is somehow karmic balancing or it’s about their unhealthy self indulgent lifestyles catching up with them. I always think, for instance, that they all look really dehydrated. The Olsen twins always look like they’re about to fall over and break, Anna Nicole Smith always looked really diseased and dehydrated and covered in unhealed wounds and Posh looks like if she doesn’t drink a glass of god damned water anytime soon she’ll implode and her skin will just shrink wrap her bones and organs and then she’ll collapse internally and her powdery dried out insides will just make her one giant stress ball. My goodness, what an astonishing narrative that was.

Meanwhile, look – I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again, Mary-Kate was good on Weeds but I doubt it was a stretch for her to play a pot smoking teenaged Jesus Freak. I mean, there’s some weird cult thing going on with her. Probably.

So, yeah, she’s in hospital and her kidneys are shot. [source]
