Mary-Kate Olsen is returning to the small screen.

She will have a guest role on the ABC sitcom Samatha Who, starring Christina Applegate.

The Full House alum — who just celebrated her 22nd birthday — played a devout Christian on the Showtime drama Weeds last year.

She will hit the big screen later this summer in the indie The Wackness (she kisses 64-year-old Ben Kingsley).

“It’s weird to be called a celebrity…” Olsen recently told Elle. “I mean, if I see a paparazzi shot of me walking that’s in a magazine or something at some event, it’s as if I see it from an outsider’s point of view. There’s like a character, almost, and then there’s me. I think it’s kind of entertaining.”

Anne Hathaway’s ex-boyfriend, Italian businessman Raffaello Follieri, has been arrested on charges of wire fraud conspiracy and money laundering, according to the Associated Press.

He is due in Manhattan federal court Tuesday.

Follieri, 29, is accused of falsely telling an investor that he had been appointed as the chief financial officer of the Vatican so he could obtain properties of the Catholic church in the U.S. at a discount to fair market value, the AP reports.

The Daily Mail of London recently reported that Hathaway, 25, broke it off with Follieri because she feared that his recent legal woes could hurt her career.

An additional source confirmed the split to Usmagazine.com: “Yes, they’re taking a break. All the shady stuff was too much.”

Follieri is also under investigation by the New York State Attorney General’s office for failing to file tax-disclosure forms for his charity, the Follieri Foundation.

He was arrested in April for allegedly writing a $215,000 bad check.

During an appearance on The View that aired last Thursday, Hathaway admitted she wasn’t feeling her “girlish, bubbly” self.

She told Joy Behar, “I’m kind of somber today.”

Despite his gruff stage persona, offstage the late George Carlin was a gentleman who showed kindness to strangers and offered a hand to others hoping to beat addiction problems, Tom Arnold and other comics tell People – while Jerry Seinfeld and Joan Rivers are expressing their appreciation of their unsentimental friend.

“Several times he’d call young comics who were messed up on drugs, and just introduce himself as ‘George, a recovering addict, and why don’t you go to a meeting with me or we can get together and talk,’ ” says Arnold, 49, who’s also battled with drugs and alcohol. “And it blew them away. Nobody said no.”

Arnold and those other comics who worked alongside Carlin over the decades made their remarks Monday night at Hollywood’s the Laugh Factory, during a taping of Supreme Court of Comedy. Carlin, 71, died of heart failure Sunday.

“He was a real gentleman, a great guy and a much better person than he pretended to be,” says comic Dom Irrera.

Several comedy figures, including Ben Stiller and Jay Leno, have publicly cited Carlin’s influence on humor. On Tuesday, Jerry Seinfeld, in an op-ed piece in The New York Times, notes that Carlin’s authority could also be a stumbling block to others in the field.

“I couldn’t even count the number of times I’ve been standing around with some comedians and someone talks about some idea for a joke and another comedian would say, ‘Carlin does it,’ ” Seinfeld writes in his appreciation. “I’ve heard it my whole career: ‘Carlin does it,’ ‘Carlin already did it,’ ‘Carlin did it eight years ago.’ ”

Still, went the sentiment at the Laugh Factory, Carlin for many years served as a mentor to young comics mesmerized by his wit and mastery of the language, said those who gathered. He also was keenly aware of his own limits.

Comic Paul Rodriguez recalled running into Carlin at a sushi bar two years ago, following Carlin’s stint in rehab for a Vicodin-and-wine habit.

“He said, ‘I have a lot of work to do, I have to go back and hear all the s— that I wrote [under the influence] and see if I meant any of it,’ ” Rodriguez remembered.

Several others recalled Carlin’s taste for marijuana. Recounted comic Paul Mooney: “Richard Pryor would say: ‘He’s a big pothead, but he’s a very funny white boy.’ And I know he and Richard are up in heaven now, talking and smoking a blunt.”

Joan Rivers, writing in Tuesday’s New York Post, may not agree with that last statement.

“He wasn’t sentimental,” she writes. (Seinfeld flat out states, “George didn’t believe in heaven or hell. Like death, they were just more comedy premises.”)

“But don’t kid yourself,” adds Rivers, “he would have loved all the attention he’s getting right now. Just don’t say that he ‘passed away.’ ‘Passed to where?’ he would ask.”
