Ashley Olsen and
Mary-Kate Olsen, 22, are said to be growing (further) apart over their fashion business because of their differing lifestyles and priorities. The Identical twins created two clothing lines, a couture collection called
The Row and a less expensive line called
Elizabeth and James. The story is that, Ashley sees herself as a businesswoman, and apparently is ready for the day-to-day effort it takes to be successful but her sister, not so much so.
A friend tells
InTouch Magazine:
“Ashley really wants to be a respected businesswoman and be taken seriously. “MK does too, but she hasn’t been willing to give up her lifestyle and act like an adult for their job.”
Yeah we often hear of MK’s party hard lifestyle too. So Ashley is now allegedly trying to distance her sister from the couture line. She reportedly decided MK should not be involved with The Row and has asked her to step back from her current responsibilities “until she has her personal life together.”
Sounds permanent to us!
“It’s tough because The Row was so much of Mary-Kate’s idea. Mary-Kate has a unique fashion sense,” notes the insider. MK is left to focus the more affordable line, Elizabeth and James.

PETA has what is starting to be a very unhealthy obsession with the Olsen twins. Like if PETA were the Olsen twins’ ex-boyfriend, it’d have a few restraining orders against it. The organization has been after the pint-sized twosome for years because they wear fur. And to be fair, the two don’t just wear it occasionally, but pretty much every chance they get.
I am damn sure that if one of their bodyguards ran over a bear (highly likely to happen in New York City, I might add) one or both of them would jump out of their excessively large SUV, knife already in hand, and have a new coat in under seventeen minutes flat. So if you’re anti-fur, the Olsen twins are one of the most legitimate targets out there.
As a birthday gift to the Olsens, PETA is requesting that people send the girls clumps of hair.
PETA is obsessed with trashing Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, whom they refer to as the Trollsen Twins, who are celebrating their birthdays this Friday.
PETA is encouraging animal lovers to send clumps of hair to the twins as a birthday gift. They’ve posted this on their website:
“The twins are still sporting as much fur as ever. Since they seem to be in such dire need of extra hair on their bodies, let’s give them some of ours—and send a strong message while we’re at it….Save that hair in a bag and mail it to the twins with a note that says, “Please, use my hair instead of the animals’. Happy Birthday.”

I am rabidly anti-fur; but I will admit that it bothers me less when people in excessively harsh and frigid climates wear it to keep warm than it does when fashionistas wear it to complete an outfit. But the Olsens are so emaciated that part of me wonders if perhaps they actually are as frigid as someone wandering around in Northern Siberia would be.
Today it’s already a record 101 at 1:30 in the afternoon here in New York City. But to the Olsens, wandering around scared and cold in the West Village, it’s probably registering somewhere around 19 degrees on their bones. I would still prefer they bundle up in a nice poofy Northface jacket. But I will point out that they’re probably a lot colder than the rest of us.
