    For a while, it seemed as though Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen were trying to distance themselves from the twin thing. Mary-Kate has been pursuing solo acting projects, with roles in Showtime’s “Weeds” and film “The Wackness.” Ashley has been focusing on fashion, founding the brand The Row in 2006.

    Now the pair is heading back into the spotlight as a twosome, with a spot on “Oprah” and a book, “Influence,” coming out on Oct. 28.The moguls are on today’s “Oprah” as part of a segment on young multi-millionaires.

    The 22-year-olds are worth $100 million, according to Forbes. Most of that dough comes from their company, Dualstar Entertainment Group, which sells videos, clothing and personal care products.

    On “Oprah,” the businesswomen get personal, discussing their support for each other when it comes to guys.

    “If she doesn’t like him, I won’t like him,” Mary-Kate told Oprah Winfrey. “If she likes him, I’ll like him.”

    The sisters’ book is a collection of interviews they conducted with influential figures about their inspirations. There are also photos of the ladies and commentary from them. Karl Lagerfeld, Diane Von Furstenberg, Lauren Hutton and John Galliano are among the stars interviewed for the book.
