Mary-Kate Olsen in Paris
October 2, 2008 by Erin Balser
Mary-Kate Olsen is truly a fashion jet-setter. After spending the past few weeks in Milan with boyfriend Nate Lowman for their fashion week, Elle UK spotted MK arriving in Paris to party with models Jessica Stam and Angela Lindval.
The trio was spotted at Paris’s hottest hang-out, Chez Regine last night.
I can only hope candids of MK in Paris pop up. I was disappointed there was nothing from Milan. I love her style in Paris–it’s different from what she wears in the States!
Thanks to marya for finding these candids of MK at at party in Paris. She’s with Nate–he’s in the background in the red shirt!
Ashley Olsen & Justin Bartha at Orso
September 2, 2008 by Erin Balser
Ashley Olsen was seen leaving Orso, a trendy restaurant in LA, last night with Justin Bartha and pal Estee Stanley (who looks very pregnant!) and her husband. Ashley was wearing a fedora and hid her face from the cameras the entire time.
Click on the screen shot above to see the video.
I love Ashley, but wouldn’t life be easier if she just didn’t hide from the paparazzi? They’re taking photos anyway. But then again, I’m not a celebrity and will never understand what it’s like to have cameras in my face 24/7.
If you were a celebrity, how would you deal with paparazzi?
Peaches Geldof Takes Ashley Olsen’s Advice
August 25, 2008 by Erin Balser
British fashion icon and tabloid staple Peaches Geldof is ready to take on the glitz and glamour of the USA, all thanks to Ashley Olsen.
According to the New York Post, Ashley casually mentioned that Peaches should move to NYC when they met at a party–and she’s following the advice!
Peaches is working at Nylon and studying English and Journalism at NYU’s Gallatin school–the same school that both Ashley and MK went to when they were at NYU.
I love how this is clearly a case of a very casual conversation–I doubt it was serious, well-thought out advice–that the tabloids are turning into a huge deal. I do think that NYC is a good fit for Peaches, but seriously doubt she’s changing her whole life around because of something Ashley says!
Rumor: Mary-Kate Olsen & Nicole Richie Feud
August 21, 2008 by Erin Balser
According to Life & Style, Nicole Richie is pretty upset over the photos taken of Joel Madden hanging out with Mary-Kate Olsen on a tour bus in New York City last weekend.
“After the concert, Joel invited her back to see the tour bus,” their source claims. “He showed her some baby photos of Harlow. Joel isn’t one to lie or hide things from Nicole, so the next day he told her about it on the phone.”
Despite Joel’s honesty, Nicole apparently freaked out.
“Nicole freaked out,” they continued. “Joel thought she’d respect the fact that he was trying to be honest — after all, he and Mary-Kate are just friends — but Nicole was hurt and angry. He couldn’t deal with it, so he hung up, and she kept texting him after that.”
I find this story pretty hard to believe. Not only are Nicole and MK friends, Joel’s friends with a lot of young Hollywood girls and every time he’s seen with one of them, a similar story pops up.
Mary-Kate Olsen Pals Around in East Village
August 17, 2008 by Erin Balser
Mary-Kate Olsen appeared to be really enjoying her Saturday afternoon in NYC’s East Village with a group on pals. They strolled for a bit before stopping at a Starbucks, then headed into a second-hand clothing store.
MK appeared oblivious to the photographer as she smoked and laughed and joked with her friends.
Jodie Sweetin in Talks for Reality Show
August 1, 2008 by Erin Balser
Jodie Sweetin, who costarred with Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen on Full House, and recently gave birth to baby Zoie, is currently on the prowl to star in her own reality television show.
“We’re going to start shooting in a couple months,” Jodie revealed to People recently. “We are in talks with a couple of networks right now. We have one picked out, but nothing is signed yet.”
Jodie said she and her husband are into the idea because they want to show the world the “other side of celebrity.”
“It was one of those things where we were like, ‘Wow. Let’s totally do it,’” she said. “I think it’s sort of a fun way to show the other side of celebrity and a sort of semi-normal life.”
I love Jodie and think she’s great, but I don’t qualify her level of celebrity as anything significant. It’s probably even lower on the scale than Denise Richards. I might watch it, but there would need to be a really strong hook in order to keep me watching.
Now a reality show about MK and Ashley’s life–that’s a show I’d watch!
Lauren Conrad Out in Elizabeth & James
July 12, 2008 by Erin Balser
Lauren Conrad proves she’s a true fan of Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen’s Elizabeth & James line, when she stepped out in a frock from their line for the second time this week!
Lauren wore the Priscilla dress from the summer 08 line to a party at Coco De Ville in West Hollywood on July 8.
Lauren last wore the line in May. I thin k she looks great in this dress, it’s really sweet and suits her well.

In complete contrast to the story Star Magazine published this week, Fox News is reporting that Mary-Kate Olsen had a happy, healthy and alcohol-free Fourth of July weekend and pal Jessica Stam’s house in the Hamptons.
“I’ve never seen her [Mary-Kate] in such good spirits, and she didn’t look anything like her old emaciated self,” their source says. MK wore a long black sweater, drank Snapple and water and laughed a lot with Stam’s friends from NYU. The source noted that MK stayed away from the boys at the party and refused to be photographed.
I’d be inclined to believe Fox over Star any day, and it’s pretty well known that MK and Jessica are pretty good friends.
Olsen Files has photos of Mary-Kate in Soho on July 8. She’s wearing a bright red dress and some neat avant-garde jewelry.
Video: Jodie Sweetin’s a Mom!
June 6, 2008 by Erin Balser
Jodie Sweetin had her baby and to celebrate, she had a revealing and insightful interview on Good Morning America. (Thanks to Daytime Talk for finding this!). She really has come a long way and looks happy and has her life together. I wish Jodie only the best in life.
Her baby girl, Zoie Laurelmae Herpin, was born on April 12, 2008. She’s so cute in the brief moments she appears in the interview!
Karl Lagerfield Loves the Olsens

In an interview with New York Magazine, Chanel creative director Karl Lagerfield only had wonderful things to say about Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen.

When asked about who gets to visit the studio and preview his clothes before his infamous fashion shows, Kal has this to say:
Last season it was the Olsen twins, who are divine, talented, and so clever. I love the Olsen twins. But “celebrities” I don’t know well, I prefer not to see them in the studio before the show. Editors are used to fittings and unfinished things. But it’s different if the “celebrity” is a close friend.
We all know that Karl and Ash and MK are quite close, so it’s nice to see him give the girls public recognition.
