Mary-Kate Olsen, one-half of the acting Olsen twins who gained fame on 1990s television show "Full House," has been hospitalized in New York City for a kidney infection, her representative said on Tuesday.
"She is resting comfortably and will be released in the next day or so," her spokeswoman Nicole Caruso said in an e-mail to Reuters. Further details were not disclosed.
Olsen, 21, and her twin sister Ashley became well-known on TV, but earned a huge following among young girls in a series of DVDs and videos with titles such as "The Adventures of Mary-Kate & Ashley: The Case of Shark Encounter" and "You're invited to Mary-Kate & Ashley's Fashion Party".
As young adults, they acted in TV movies and launched fashion lines, and their lives became fodder for the tabloid press. Mary-Kate recently was seen on TV comedy "Weeds," and a movie in which she play a part, "The Wackness", is due in theaters next year.

An official at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles apologized for the error that led to several patients receiving overdoses of an anti-coagulant.
TMZ.com reported Tuesday that the newborn twins of actor Dennis Quaid and his wife, Kimberly, were listed in stable condition after they were mistakenly given massive doses of the anti-coagulant last weekend.
The report said both infants, born Nov. 8, started to "bleed out" Sunday night and were transferred to the neo-natal intensive care unit.
While the hospital didn't mention Quaid's children specifically, it released a statement apologizing for what it called a "preventable error," People.com reported.
"I want to extend my deepest apologies to the families who were affected by this situation, and we will continue to work with them on any concerns or questions they may have," said Dr. Michael L. Langberg, the hospital's chief medical officer. "This was a preventable error, involving a failure to follow our standard policies and procedures, and there is no excuse for that to occur at Cedars-Sinai. Although it appears at this point that there was no harm to any patient, we take this situation very seriously."

Hayden responds to Japanese arrest warrant
viernes, 16 de noviembre de 2007 | Etiquetas: Hayden Panettiere
An arrest warrant has reportedly been issued in Japan for “Heroes” star Hayden Panettiere over her dolphin-saving attempt last month in the country, but the actress appears to have no fear.
In a statement released Thursday afternoon to Access Hollywood, Hayden branded the arrest warrant “defensive.”
“Obviously this issue has generated defensive behavior on the part of both the Japanese Authorities and Fishermen,” she said in the statement. “I have grown up hearing - and adhering to - this phrase: ‘condemnation without investigation dooms one to everlasting ignorance.’

Lindsay Lohan has done her time—all 84 minutes of it.
The recently rehabbed starlet checked in to Paris Hilton's old haunt, the Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood, California, at 10:30 a.m. Thursday.
She was out by 11:54 a.m., says Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department spokesman Steve Whitmore.
"She was cooperative," Whitmore said. He also denied that Lohan got any favorable treatment, saying it is typical for misdemeanor offenders to serve a fraction of their jail time.
As it was, inmate 1059383 was sentenced to one day in jail after working out a plea deal to drunken-driving and cocaine charges stemming from dual DUI arrests earlier this year.
Aside from her day trip to county, the 21-year-old actress was placed on three years' probation and ordered to perform 10 days of community service, complete drug treatment and attend an 18-month alcohol-education program. She was also forbidden from associating with drug users.
She was given until Jan. 18 to wrap up the jail term, drug treatment and community service.
Last month, she completed an extended sojourn at the Cirque Lodge in Utah and returned to work, shooting the tango-powered film Dare to Love Me. This week, she has been fulfilling her community service requirement by working at an American Red Cross donor center near Los Angeles.
Lohan's 84 minutes in lockup falls just short of what is believed to be the celebrity inmate record of 82 minutes logged by Nicole Richie in August. But Lohan's turnaround time easily trumps ex-Lost player Michelle Rodriguez 's four hours, 27 minutes last year. Hilton, who faced a stricter initial sentence of 45 days, wound up spending 23 of them at Century Regional.
By comparison, it took moviegoers 105 minutes to suffer through all of Lohan's last movie, I Know Who Killed Me.
