On December 4, Mary-Kate Olsen and her boyfriend Nate Lowman managed to squeeze a quiet dinner with friends in amongst all the Art Basel parties. The two looked happy and content, enjoying each other’s company.

Later that night, they headed to the Audi party where MK supposedly fought with Kirsten Dunst. But right here, she seems happy!

Mary-Kate Olsen arrived in Los Angeles last night. She was spotted leaving the LAX airport. She looked cute in a kimono-inspired jacket and leather-look leggings.

You can see the photos here.

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen will be guests on the Thursday, October 23 episode of Oprah. They will be talking about their current projects, what it’s like to still be famous after all these years, and more.

The last time, MK and Ashley were on Oprah, they were eighteen and New York Minute just came out. I’m really excited to hear what they have to tell Oprah. It’s been a long time since they made a television appearance or did an interview together!

The Los Angeles home that Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen grew up in can be yours for $2,795,000! According to Big Time Listings, MK and Ashley’s father, David, owned the home from 1997-2005.

The 5,846-square-foot home has five bedrooms, seven bathrooms, wrought iron doors, a grand hall, a spiral staircase, four fireplaces, a music room, and a master suite with a Grecian balcony. You can see photos of it here.

It’s a fabulous looking home, I know I’d love to live there! The fact Mk and Ashley did once too is a bonus!

MKAshley is giving away a copy of Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen’s upcoming book Influence. The book explores Mk and Ashley’s own fashion influences as they interview designers and icons who inspired the girls. The book also has tons of never before seen photographs!

Mary-Kate Olsen was seen walking around New York City in some very interesting footwear yesterday. She had lunch with boyfriend Nate Lowman, but the two left the West Village restaurant spearately. Nate took off on his bicycle while MK lit a cigarette and walked home.

I’m not liking the giant black shirt and drop crotch pants Mary-Kate has on. I think they’d work separately, but together they just look messy. I love the shoes though! How does she even walk in them?

Forbes released a list of 10 Hollywood moguls in the making, that is, ten stars who they think are going to dominate Hollywood for years to come.

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen come in at number six, thanks to their successful expansion from kiddie Wal-Mart wear to both contemporary fashion with Elizabeth and James and the Row. This fashion dominance coupled with the girls’ side projects like Influence, Weeds, The Wackness and more, Forbes thinks the Olsens have permanent staying power.

Topping MK and Ashley were Curtis Jackson, Beyonce, Justin Timberlake, Kanye West and Tyra Banks. Rounding out the rest of the list were Avril Lavigne, Pete Wentz and Jessica Simpson.

The list was chosen based on how strong the celebrities’ brand is, how many streams of income they have and their potential for growth. I think some of their picks are interesting–Pete Wentz?!–but I think it’s definitely a list MK and Ashley belong in!

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen are working hard overseas! After a promotional trip to Paris for their fashion lines Elizabeth & James and The Row, the girls hopped over to London, where they held a launch for Elizabeth & James at Selfridges.

The guests included Alexa Chung, Henry Holland and Pixie Geldof and everyone dined on sushi and strawberry champange, according to Elle UK. (You can see a picture of that fivesome here.)

What do you think of MK’s over-the-knee boots? And Ashley’s bustier?

Fab Sugar has tons of photos from the launch, including pictures of the new collection!

Check them out here.

However, the girls weren’t in London for very long. Earlier today, they were spotted catching a flight back to NYC with none other than Gwyneth Paltrow! I love Gwyn’s oversized scarf. All three ladies looked chic, casual and lovely as they strolled through Heathrow airport.

See the photos here.

After partying in Paris, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen headed to London together to promote their high-end fashion line, The Row.

The girls each had tons of luggage with them and Mary-Kate blatantly displayed a giant fur coat–a snide at PETA, perhaps?

Ashley wore a large tan trench and interesting gladiator sandals as she did some shopping after promoting the Row in Paris on Monday.

The private launch was held at the department store Bon Marche Rive. Gauche What do you think? Are they too over-the-top?

According to the Chicago Sun-Times, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen are looking at venturing back into film together. They’ve been looking a scripts, trying to find the perfect new joint project.

One script they particularly like is a crime thriller based on Audrey Hepburn’s 1967 Wait Until Dark. Audrey starred as a blind woman who was stalked by Alan Arkin.

The Chicago Sun-Times claims that the update would involve MK and Ashley starring as blind twins. I think MK and Ashley are looking at scripts–perhaps separately, together or for DualStar–but the girls have been adamant that their dual-acting career is over.
