MSN’s Wonderwall put together a list of the 10 biggest celebrity hipsters.
Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen come in at #5 for perpetually being “over it” and for championing boho chic, the ultimate hipster look.
Rounding out the list are Natalie Portman (#10), Nicole Richie (#9), Zooey Deschanel (#8), Ed Westwick (#7), Ellen Page (#6), Ryan Gosling (#4), Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson (#3), Mischa Barton (#2), and Jared Leto (#1).
What do you think of this list? Are Mary-Kate and Ashley the ultimate hipsters? See the slideshow here.
I think it’s a pretty accurate and interesting list. Mary-Kate and Ashley are the most famous people on the list, and I wonder how much mainstream fame played a factor in creating the list.
Who do you think is the biggest hipster in Hollywood?

The star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame belonging to Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen was vandalized today. Someone wrote “FUR HAGS!” over their star, according to KeyeTV.
MK and Ashley were awarded their star in 2004 for their work on Full House and the subsequent Dualstar empire they built around direct-to-video movies, music and more.
Movie star Sharon Stone’s star was also vandalized, with “OLD FUR HAG!” scrawled across it.
Mary-Kate and Ashley often receive public heckling and protest for their frequent fur-wearing. They seem unfazed by PETA’s continous efforts and have yet to stop wearing fur. However, I doubt this vandalization was dne by PETA–it seems far to amateur.
The Walk of Fame is maintained by the Historic Trust and they will be responsible for the clean-up of the vandalized stars. The first star was awarded in 1960 to Joanne Woodward and since then, over 2,000 have been installed, making the walk over 3.5 miles long.

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!
TV Guide sat down with Samantha Who? star Melissa McCarthy to talk about the upcoming season of their show. (The second season premiere is tonight!)
You may remember Melissa as Sookie on the Gilmore Girls. She was wonderful on that show. I’ve only caught a few episodes of Samantha Who?, but it looks like a lot of fun.
Melissa promises that this season will be tons of fun and there’s lots of exciting guests stars showing up--including Mary-Kate Olsen!

Melissa says that MK is “really sweet” and promises that “she did a good job with the part.” MK plays a reformed bad girl Natalie that comes into Samantha’s life and stirs things up!
MK’s episode of Samantha Who? airs on November 10 on ABC. It’s a ways away yet, but I’m going to liveblog the episode here. Be sure to join me!
Mary-Kate Olsen is making a guest appearance on fifth episode the of Samantha Who?. In the episode, titled “Help,” Samantha gets arrested and is given community service. It is through this community service that Sam meets Mary-Kate’s character and she becomes quite a sore spot as Samantha looks back on her old life.

Mary-Kate will play Natalie, a “troubled young woman.” Natalie reminds Samantha of her younger self and Sam is determined to turn Natalie’s life around, even though everyone tells her it can’t be done.

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!
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.

According to the New York Post, all that fighting between Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen is over. Both girls are in Paris for Fashion Week and the pair have been inseparable since arriving. They went to Regine, a nightclub, for a Fashion week party and source say the two were having a blast.
“They arrived holding hands and were totally inseparable all night,” one source claimed. “They mostly stuck together but chatted a bit with Kate Bosworth, Jessica Stam and Lauren Davis.”
Since I didn’t really believe all the fighting rumors, I’m taking this “make-up” with a grain of salt. However, the girls haven’t been seen together very much, so it’s nice to hear about them hanging out together!
Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen’s hip picks have become a semi-regular thing lately. They don’t seem to be monthly anymore. However, there are hip picks for October!
This month, MK’s fall fashion must is plaid. Ashley wants to go for a classic look, pairing lots of layers with a blazer. Their current handbags of the moment are the Chloe Paratay bag for Mary-Kate and the Accordion Devi Kroell for Ashley. Sleep is the best beauty tip MK can give you, whereas Ashley thinks their new Paper Me Pretty products are the way to go for instant on-the-go touch-ups!
If you thought you knew everything about the girls, you were wrong. This month, they reveal a secret passion. MK’s all about cooking and Ashley collects vintage fashion magazines. Finally, their fall footwear of choice is lace-up books for MK and peep toe booties for Ashley.
What do you think of these picks? Any real winners? Any you think are crazy?
PETA is not giving up their campaign against Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. Their most recent endeavour is giving away Trollsen Halloween masks, which I found out about thanks to Mollygood. The maskes are free and can be ordered directly from the PETA website.
You have to place your order by October 12 to make sure you get them in time for Halloween. I ordered mine, just to see what they look like.
To complete the look, you need to wear loads of layers, plaid, scarves and carry giant Starbucks drinks and a cigarette.
While I know this campaign is mean spirited, I doubt it fazes MK and Ashley. It does, however, make me want to dress up as MK and Ashley as Hallowwn (the non-Troll versions of course!) but I’m probably too tall and too brunette to pull it off.
