Bringing you the latest happenings on Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen right here!

Mary-Kate and Ashley are currently working on another movie called "Winning London". They play girls in the Model UN program and they compete all over Europe. They recently went to London to film parts of it. They're back now and will be filming the rest of the scenes in LA. The movie will be out in the spring of 2001.

Mary-Kate and Ashley will soon to have their own bi-monthly magazine! It's called "Mary-Kate and Ashley" and it'll be available in March 2001. Each magazine is priced at $5.95 and Mary-Kate and Ashley will serve as editors-in-chief. They will be on the cover for the first few issues, but eventually the cover will be other celebrities.

"Our Lips are Sealed" will be released on VHS video on November 21st! A DVD version will be available in March and it will mostly have special footage in it, like most other DVDs.

TV Alert: Mary-Kate and Ashley recently guest-starred in the TV show "Seventh Heaven". Their episode is called "Gossip" and will air on November 20th on the WB channel. They play twin sisters who double date with Simon and Simon's friend. Some people, depending on where you live, might not have WB as a regular channel, but as a cable channel. Be sure to check your local listings.

Cookie! Cookie? Yup, that's right, Cookie. "Tough Cookie" is an animated feature and it will be the project from Dualstar (Mary-Kate and Ashley's company) without the girls starring in. The girls will be involved in the producing of this film and it will air Summer 2002. The story is about a "hard-boiled, trenchcoat-wearing chocolate-chip cookie who solves crimes amid the lowly crumbs at the bottom of life's cookie jar. When the detective's former partner, Chips, is abducted by the evil Fingers, he seeks revenge with his girlfriend, Sandy Pecan, by his side."

Recent Release: Magical Mystery Mall for Playstation and a lot of books!

After many years of planning and preparing, Mary-Kate and Ashley's trenchoat twins detective cartoon is finally ready! It is called "Action Girls" and will be aired in the Fall of 2001, probably on ABC. Much thanks to the Trenchcoat Twins Homepage for the first hand information.

Video release date alert: "Our Lips are Sealed" will be released on November 21th! This will very likely be a hit since the popularity and interest in Australia (where this movie was filmed) after the Olympics Games is going to be big!
