Rumor: Mary-Kate Olsen Leaves The Dark Knight
July 31, 2008 by Erin Balser
Life & Style is reporting that Mary-Kate Olsen tried to go to a screening of Heath Ledger’s last film The Dark Night in Los Angeles.
She snuck in with a few friends through the back doors and tried to sit unnoticed in the last row. But people noticed her and between that and watching her friend Heath on screen, it was too much for MK.
“It got to be too much for her,” their source claims. “She wanted to go unnoticed, but people recognized her and started whispering. She felt really weird.”
It got to be so overwhelming that MK actually left the screening early in the movie.
While there’s no proof to this story, I can see it happening. It would be really tough to watch your friend’s last film on-screen while at the same time being subjected to the judgment of others in the studio.
The Other Influence Cover

I found the second Influence cover and I must say it’s really hard to tell Mary-Kate and Ashley apart on these covers! You can see the first one here.
Mary-Kate Olsen: 1 Day, 2 Outfits
July 30, 2008 by Erin Balser
The paparazzi caught up with Mary-Kate Olsen in LA twice on Wednesday. First, she was spotted out in a printed tee as she left a meeting at a studio. Then, in the afternoon, she changed into a plaid shirt as she ran some errands downtown.
Both times, MK does her best to avoid the paparazzi.
What do you think of these outfits?
Yesterday afternoon, X17 spotted MK leaving the Neil George Hair Salon, with her hair up and the plaid shirt around her waist. Click below to go to the video.
Rumor: Mary-Kate Olsen’s Kitchen Fiasco
July 29, 2008 by Erin Balser
TMZ is reporting that Mary-Kate Olsen is at war with her former landlord over an agreement that went sour.
Supposedly, Mary-Kate agreed to refit the kitchen in the $15,000 per month pad after custom designing it to suit her needs. And she didn’t.
He’s also accusing her of flooding the pond in the garden.
However, MK’s lawyer tells TMZ that the landlord indeed gave MK permission to renovate the kitchen and restore it when she decided to leave, but the landlord jumped the gun, restored it himself before MK had the chance and now wants MK to pay for it.
Her lawyer did admit the pond suffered damages, though. I wonder how that will play into the discussions.
MK’s lawyer wants her $30,000 security deposit back, and the landlord wants to keep the deposit and have Mary-Kate pay for the renovations.
Who do you think is in the wrong here? MK or her landlord? And what should be done about it? To me, it sounds like miscommunication gone awry.
Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen’s Book Cover
July 27, 2008 by Erin Balser
Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen’s cover for their upcoming book Influence has been released. Check it out:
There is supposed to be a second cover on the flip-side, with Ashley on it, looking the opposite direction of Mary-Kate, but I can’t find a photo of it. I like the cover a lot–it’s really simple, classy and elegant.
The book will be available on October 28 2008.
You can pre-order your copy at Amazon now.
More Elizabeth & James for Lauren Conrad
July 27, 2008 by Erin Balser
Lauren Conrad wears Elizabeth and James so much, I’m beginning to think this blog is about her! I think Lauren looks great here, pairing the plaid button back shirt with skinny cuffed jeans and heels.
I wonder if Lauren gets samples of the E&J line or just loves it. She wears it way more than any other celeb I’ve seen. You can see more photos of Lauren in this outfit at Gossip Girls.
Rumor: Mary-Kate Olsen Still Dealing With Heath Ledger’s Death
July 27, 2008 by Erin Balser
This week, British magazine Grazia is claiming that Mary-Kate confirmed to friends that she and Heath had a relationship and were “secret lovers.”
“I’m just completely shattered about Heath,” Mary-Kate apparently said to friends. “I loved him so much. We had this amazing connection and now he’s gone. I just can’t get over him.”
Their sources also claim that MK is upset with how the tabloids portrayed her as a villian throughout the whole ordeal. She feels she has no one to turn to, especially anyone who was close to Heath.
Why can’t tabloids just let this go? There isn’t any proof of a relationship and MK is clearly not talking. And why would it matter now? All uncovering a relationship would do is prove that MK’s grief must really run deep.
Grazia hits stands tomorrow if you want to read the article.
New CW Show Based on Olsens?
July 25, 2008 by Erin Balser
CW recently announced their fall line-up, and on it was a show called Surviving the Filthy Rich, which is now titled Privileged According to the LA Times, the show revolves around a recent Yale graduate who takes a job as an assistant for infamous teenage twins. She’s required to get the twins into an A-list college, among other treacherous tasks.

Image details: Film Independent’s 2006 Independent Spirit Awards - Show served by picapp.com
I think that the structure of the show may be inspired by the twins (i.e. the fact there are twins at all!) but I’m betting that’s where the similarities end. But what do I know?
Here’s the promo for the show:
The show originally stemmed from the 2007 novel by Zoey Dean called How To Teach Filthy Rich Girls. Has anyone read it? It’s entirely possible that the book was inspired by the girls, because it was written at a time they were considering colleges and started at NYU.
Are you going to watch this show?

Mary-Kate Olsen Back in NYC
July 23, 2008 by Erin Balser
Mary-Kate Olsen came back to New York this weekend. She was spotted leaving her apartment in Soho Monday afternoon. She’s wearing cut-off shorts and a loose black cardigan with low gladiator sandals.
I think she looks a lot like Ashley in these pics. I don’t know what it is–either the hair, the outfit, or just the fact I miss Ashley!
