Olsen Twins Sue Acclaim For Unpaid Royalties 60
filtur writes "The Olsen twins (that got your attention) are suing video game maker Acclaim for royalties regarding their Olsen twins branded video games. Acclaim has apparently run the brand into the ground." Once dubbed "the most powerful young women in Hollywood," the money involved seems almost trivial by comparison to even their individual net worths, but it'll be interesting to see how this turns out.

You may also want to have a chat with, say, Tony Hawk, about being involved in the game production. I mean, you wouldn't want to slap your name on just any old merch, now would you?
Now, when do we finally get a Super Olsen Sisters Advance?
(Not actually knowing that much about the twins, I'm wondering if there's any difference between them that can be translated to gameplay. Like, one of them can jump higher, but the other can bash bricks with her head or something).

When the show ended, they were in their early teens and they began making various straight to video films targetted at preteen girls. Apparently these videos made a lot of money and they invested it well. In addition to video games they've produced many other products as well.
They've also recorded a dozen or so CDs, starting when they were very young. They probably made more off of the videos, but most young girls who like them know them more from their music.

Does the fine print show that it's actually them singing? I've recently had the "pleasure" of watching one of their godawful videos with my two young daughters. The girls barely looked awake, and they didn't lip-sync very well either.

I personally think it's some kind of combination of them being twins, and (in a very sick and disturbing way) watching them grow up on TV as one of America's favorite shows... sorta like Oedipus, only in reverse.

God, the video is AWFUL. What the hell is so great about two girls (who look vaguely like "Troll dolls" [mit.edu]) pretending to sing and act? They mostly just sit there and look tired of cameras pointed at them.
