Fred Segal, the celebrity fashion mecca in Los Angeles, is getting it’s own reality show on Bravo. The currently unnamed show will document the daily operations of the department store’s Santa Monica location.

Why this show is getting so much buzz is that a major focal point will be with how the store - which attracts loads of celebrities - deals with their high profile customers. And those customers include our favorite fashionistas Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen!

“Fred Segal is a legendary retail haven synonymous with high fashion and style, and the fashionistas who work, shop and gossip at the store promise to have arresting, entertaining, colorful personalities and lives” Bravo said.

I’m really excited for this show. However, the possibility of its highest profile customers (like MK and Ashley) actually appearing on the show are slim to none.

I remember when The Rachel Zoe Project premiered and was really excited to see her work with some A-list stars. A few made the single, obligatory appearance, but only Joy Bryant really let the show examine the styling process and the stylist/star relationship.

My guess for this Fred Segal show? Lots of reality stars and B- and C-list who need buzz. No Young Hollywood, not Paris, Nicole or Lindsay, and especially not the notoriously private Olsens.

In Touch Weekly is reporting that Ashley Olsen and her boyfriend Justin Bartha are moving in together. Ashley’s Hancock Park home is through with renovations and Justin has had keys for a while. Now that the renovations are complete, she asked Justin to move in-permanently.

“They’re in a trial marriage,” their source claims. “Justin has had keys for a while , but now they’re living together and it’s going very well, so the next step is very likely marriage.”

Im not sure where this whole likely next step comes from. Ashley and Justin are very young and their relationship is still pretty new. Sure, marriage may be on the horizon, but that doesn’t mean it’s any time in the near future!

Fox News is reporting that some fur companies are so sick of PETA constantly harassing Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen that they are doing something about it. An unnamed fur company in Alaska has been sending the girls free furs in an effort to keep them fashion-forward and fur-friendly.

This is the only place I’ve seen this story and I haven’t verified it, but if it’s true, I think it’s kind of funny. As much as I’m against wearing fur, it bothers me that PETA so constantly and so publicly targets celebrities, simply for the press. It’s annoying and the frequency of it undermines the purpose of it.

Despite recent rumors that Ashley Olsen is dating National Treasure star Justin Bartha, Hollyscoop is reporting that Ash was getting cozy with Sex and the City star Jason Lewis. Apparently, the two were getting cozy at the premiere on Tuesday night.

It’s the number one story in the video below:

Hollyscoop is the only news source reporting this so I have a hard time believing it. What about you?

Thanks to Jen for the heads up!

Page Six is reporting that Ashley Olsen’s friends are worried about her new relationship with National Treasure star Justin Bartha.

“He’s a little bit psycho-y,” a source told the paper. “He’s a really cute, nice guy, but he was always jumping out of the shot when [ex-girlfriend] Lydia Hearst was getting photographed.”

It’s this very reason that pals think this new relationship is worrisome.

“It’s a little strange that he would go after a girl [Olsen] who is always having her photo taken,” the source thinks.

The source also chatted about how intense Bartha’s relationship with Hearst was–and that Ashley may be getting in over her head.

“Lydia broke up with him in August 2007, and at the In Style party during the Oscars in February 2008, Justin went up to her and yelled at her in front of everyone,” said another source. “He was just too intense about her.”

I’m sure this is being blown out of proportion. That being said, Ashley seems like she’s pretty smart when it comes to relationships, so I’m not going to worry.

The NY Post spotted Ashley Olsen on what appeared to be a date with National Treasure actor Justin Bartha. The two had dinner at Patsy’s restaurant on Saturday.

“It looked like they were on a date,” said the Post’s source, who added the two held hands and Justin was spotted touching Ashley’s hair. The couple stayed for about an hour, and as they left, Justin held the door for Ash.

It sounds like he’s a sweet guy who respects women. What do you think? you Ashley and Justin make a good couple?

I’d like to believe this rumor too, but E! Online is right–Ashley Olsen has loads of money. But still, it’s a super nice thought.

What am I talking about? Well, it’s been reported that Ash is crashing on pal and stylist Estee Stanley’s couch while her new Hancock Park home is being renovated.

What do you think? Is Ash down-to-earth enough to live in a friend’s living room for a few weeks? Or is this just a silly rumor?

US Magazine is reporting that Ashley Olsen might be rekindling her 2005 romance with Jared Leto.

A source spotted them holding hands at the Art of Elysium event on January 12.

“They looked like a couple and they were making out,” the source says.

However, another source denies this rumor. “They aren’t back together,” the second source claimed. “They’re friends.”

The issue hits newsstands this week and will have more details. Jared is yet another older man for Ash–he’s 36!

What do you guys think? True or Faux? And what do you think about Jared Leto? Yay or nay?

MSNBC recently interviewed a source close to Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen who is concerned for Ashley’s health.

The insider claims that Ashley is concerned with her acting career, seeing that Mary-Kate, the thinner sister, is getting more acting offers than Ash is.

“Ashley’s hoping that if she can lose weight, she can compete with her twin,” the insider claims.

They go on to say that Ashley is eating less and exercising more: “She’ll eat, then go home and do aerobics to make sure she doesn’t gain any weight. She does leg lifts and arm exercises and walks everywhere.”

Another source is worried that Ashley is taking on the fashion of someone with an eating disorder by dressing in baggy clothes. “They think that if there are no pictures of them looking like skin and bones, they can get away with it,” the second source claims.

I haven’t seen Ashley wear anything that looks overly baggy lately. She does look a little thinner, but it’s possible its nothing to worry about.

I hope that Ashley, Mary-Kate and all you readers have a happy and healthy 2008!

Kathleen asked me about this, so I’ve been looking into it. Earlier this year, when “The Informers” movie was announced, Ashley Olsen was on the cast list. She isn’t anymore–not at IMDB or at Wikipedia.

She was supposed to play Winona Ryder’s stepdaughter, a “promiscuous mysterious woman”, but it now appears that Amber Heard is playing that role.

I have no word on whether Ashley dropped out of the film, or was never in it in the first place, or if she’s still in the film and IMDB has their information wrong.

If its true, it’s too bad–I was looking forward to seeing Ashley act again!
