Teen star Mary-Kate Olsen is furious two magazines have refused to retract claims she is being treated in rehab for cocaine addiction not anorexia. American tabloids Star and the National Enquirer published front page stories about Mary-Kate's reported drug problem this week, with photographs apparently showing the 18-year-old checking into Utah's Cirque Lodge clinic. Representatives for Olsen and her company Dualstar have threatened legal action - but American Media, who own both magazines, remain unmoved. Spokesman Stu Zakim says, "If they were going to sue us, they would have done it already. Nothing has come forward and that only reinforces the validity of our reporting. We knew how explosive this story would be, and it's been fact-checked and fact-checked and fact-checked. We have all the confidence in the world that our reporting is on the money." Olsen's representative Michael Pagnotta argues, "If (the Enquirer) is the same kind of reporting as in the Star, which we consider to be false, then it would likewise be evaluated by our attorneys. The bottom line is that Mary-Kate was not admitted for drugs, period."

The backlash against troubled Mary-Kate Olsen has started - America's leading milk company has dumped her and her twin sister Ashley as their new spokeswomen. The actress, who is currently battling an eating disorder in a Utah rehabilitation facility, shot ads for the Milk Processor Education Program's popular 'Got milk?' print ads earlier this year. But the company's bosses have reportedly scrapped the upcoming ad campaign, which was to feature the twins 'wearing' a white milk moustache. A spokesman for the milk board claims the ads were pulled "out of sensitivity" for the Olsen family's troubles.
I guess a massive bill board featuring Mary-Kate with a white substance under her nose isn't the best publicity after the NE story!!!
