>> Mary-Kate and Ashley are Selling Their New York City Apartment
Don't panic. They're not quitting school. Mary-Kate is still not moving back to Los Angeles. They just don't need that big embarrassment any more. It's hard to fit in at school when your dorm is a US$7mil penthouse.MARY-KATE and ASHLEY OLSEN are selling their $7.3 million (GBP3.8 million) New York City apartment - even though they've never lived in it.
The 18-year-old twins, who both attend New York University, bought the 560 square-metre (6,000-square-foot) penthouse in Manhattan's trendy West Village before moving from Los Angeles to the Big Apple. Prior to moving in, they planned extensive renovations on the new apartment.
The twins's representative, MICHAEL PAGNOTTA, tells PEOPLE magazine, "It turned out to be too much space, along with the fact that the renovation was going to take far longer than anyone expected. It just didn't make sense anymore. Their needs changed in terms of their living situations.
"The school year is coming to the end and they might not be around to supervise the renovations and it just didn't make sense."
In January (05), the twin moguls decided to spend their second semester in their own individual digs. Mary-Kate moved out of the pair's three-bedroom Tribeca apartment and into a spacious loft in Soho. Ashley remained in Tribeca.
At the time, renovations to their penthouse were still being done, but the siblings still planned to move into the pad when it was completed. Now, it will be put on the market and sold in move-in condition, without renovations.

Olsen Twins Selling NY Apartment?
Mar 29, 2:43 PM EST
NEW YORK -- Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen are selling their $7.3 million Manhattan apartment before they've even lived in it, according to People magazine.
The 18-year-old actresses bought the 6,000-square-foot penthouse before moving to the city to attend New York University and planned extensive renovations.
"It turned out to be too much space, along with the fact that the renovation was going to take far longer than anyone expected," the twins' publicist, Michael Pagnotta, told the magazine. "It just didn't make sense anymore. Their needs changed in terms of their living situations."
The penthouse will be put on the market and sold in move-in condition, without renovations, People said.
Pagnotta denied reports that Mary-Kate, who sought treatment for an eating disorder last year, won't return to NYU.
"It's absolutely not true," he told the magazine. "She will continue to be enrolled in NYU in the fall. They both will continue to be enrolled in the fall."
As for Mary-Kate's health, Pagnotta said, "Mary-Kate is doing OK and is focused on finishing up the school year."

Wat I cant believe is that piccie of them swearing?Well it has Mary-Kate up the top there and it looks like she is drunk and she is swearing.I could never imagine them swearing.Thats not a good impression on their admirers and their fans is it?Little children like to copy their style and what they do so next little kids are going to be doing this.
A concerned teen
Why is it that we dont really here anything about them anymore? I haven’t herd anything for ages! Im sick of it! I thought that the media would tell a little more about the most famouse pare of twins that we have ever seen on this planet! I dont know any of their stories, ex-boyfriends, jobs, lifestyle or places they have lived. Actually: with what i know about them, i couldnt even call myself a fan. Im so ashamed about the knowlegde i ve. Can someone please tell me some facts?
By the way. Where do they buy their clothes? Do we know it? And is there some kind of ‘The fabulous life of…’-thing starring them?
Rock, Reggie

both of them, they are really nice people to what you hear or read, an i have seen them more than once, you cud say im near enough a friend hope i am
ehi uzi are you there?
j are you on here please reply
I AGREE WITH MICHAEL PAGNOTTA WHEN SAYS:”IT JUST DIDN’T MAKE SENSE ANYMORE,THEIR NEEDS CHANGED IN TERMS OF THEIR LIVING SITUATIONS”.I ONLY HOPE THEY ARE GOOD FRIENDS EACH OTHER.
i think this shows they are totaly growing up. i think we shouldn’t call them twins anymore because when you see them thier face they dont look like anymore. so we should give them more respact about their life. so who agree with me?
i cnt beleive this that apartment is so luvly but i suppose we’ve gotta support their decision 100% so gd luck mk n ash luv ya xxxxxxxxxxxx
that’s so sad. . . :((( but good also.
They dont live together anymore???
I mean..i wasnt expeting them to live their whole life together. But do they even see eachother sometime???
This is so weird….
where do they exactly live, does anyone know that?
oh Michael! have u ever met the olsentwins?:???:
thanks Michael:cool:
They’ll live in the same separate locations they live in now. Ashley in Tribeca and Mary-Kate in Soho.
oh my god… is that true? where do mk and ash live now? together or not?
