why am i not suprised?

NEW YORK (AP) - What would Bob Saget say about this? Mary-Kate Olsen, who shared the role of Michelle with her twin sister, Ashley, on the '80s comedy ``Full House,'' has dropped out of college, early in her sophomore year, according to a published report. ``Mary-Kate Olsen has taken an approved leave of absence from New York University to focus on her increasing responsibilities as co-president of Dualstar Entertainment Group and to pursue personal interests,'' her publicist, Michael Pagnotta, was quoted on People magazine's Web site Friday. Olsen's twin sister, Ashley, also co-president of Dualstar, will remain at NYU. A message to the publicist from The Associated Press wasn't immediately returned Friday. Mary-Kate, 19, spent six weeks at a treatment center for an eating disorder in summer 2004. Since starting out as babies on ``Full House'' - Saget played their father - the twins have created a multimedia empire with a clothing line, feature films, direct-to-video movies and other merchandise. Mary-Kate, a brunette, and Ashley, who is blond, became co-presidents of Dualstar when they turned 18. Each is estimated to be worth more than $150 million.
