PETA is at it again, using famous names to get attention for their already over-hyped “cause.” They’ve named their Worst-Dressed Celebrities of 2009, and the six “winners” are Madonna, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Kanye West, Elizabeth Hurley and PETA’s favorite objects of scorn, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen.

Stealing their material from Mr. Blackwell, PETA said of the Material Matron, “When you see Madonna in fur, you realize why nobody has copied her style since 1984. We know that she’s on the prowl for a young cub, but someone needs to tell Madge that wearing fur doesn’t make you a cougar.”

As usual, their worst barbs were saved for the Olsens. “Since fur adds 20 years and 20 pounds, maybe Mary-Kate and Ashley think their matronly wardrobe will deflect the gossip about bulimia. Somewhere, someone is missing a matching pair of Bigfoot bobblehead dolls.”

Ouch! So when they’re not ragging on celebs, what does PETA actually do for animals? Their silly campaign to stop us from eating fish by naming them “Sea Kittens” just made me think, “Yum! Kittens of the Sea.”

While many of us are struggling financially this Christmas, Mary-Kate Olsen is enjoying the plight of retailers. Page Six reports that the tiny twin commented on the great bargains she was finding at Barneys New York.  ”It’s really sad – the recession is everywhere. But at least they are having good sales. That’s where I got this! The recession!”

Somehow it seems like poetic justice that no matter how much money this overpaid, brainless brat spends, she still looks like a bag lady.

Ashley and Mary-Kate Olsen made a rare joint public appearance last night at Borders bookstore in Westwood, CA,to sign copies of their coffee-table book “Influence” and attracted a large crowd of fans. They also attracted several protesters from PETA carrying signs saying “Trollsens: Fur Hags From Hell” and “Hairy-Kate and Trashley Olsen: Fur Tramps. PETA has been targeting the twins over their frequent public appearances in fur and animal skins, like the dead rat jacket Mary-Kate wears in the photo here.

I seriously doubt PETA will convince the twins to lay off the skins but then, I doubt they can really write a book.

Mary Kate Olsen has decided not to talk to federal investigators who are looking into Heath Ledger’s accidental death in February. The New York Post is reporting that MK refuses to talk to feds unless she receives immunity from prosecution. Mary Kate was the first person called after her masseuse (also there for an appointment with Heath) discovered the actor’s body at his Broome Street apartment in NYC. MK, instead of calling 911, called her bodyguards and sent them to Heath’s apartment to check on the actor. Probers have talked to everyone connected to Heath and his death, including his ex-fiance, actress Michelle Williams. One of the Post’s source explained that MK would be the final witness they need to conclude their investigation into where he got his drugs and medicines.

No, I’m not calling Ashley (or Mary Kate) Olsen prune face. That would just be mean. And just in case you were wondering, Ashley’s the top pic and Mary Kate is below. I think. Your guess is as good as mine. Okay, back to prunes. Well, according to OK! magazine and their “source”, the Olsens get their signature grins by saying the word prune before each photo. I tried this technique and although I wasn’t looking in the mirror, I didn’t feel a smile when I said prune. I know what I would get if I ate prunes, though, and it wouldn’t be a smile. But that’s another story. Oh, and to help you tell them apart, the source had this tip – Mary-Kate has slightly thinner lips and more of a playful grin, while Ashley tends to go for a full-on pout. Yeah, I looked at the pictures again and still can’t tell. Oh, well, I’ll try again next time.

Let’s just pretend there are two of them in this picture. They’re identical, so it works. The NY Post is reporting that the Olsen twins are annoying their West Village neighbors in New York. “The bodyguards in their SUVs are always getting in the way of our alternate-side parking routine,” said one resident of the 100 block on West 13th Street. “You’d think the president was living here.” The twins left another Manhattan apartment at One Morton Square because it was already overly exposed. And from the sound of things, this new address is not going to be too much of a secret, either. Oh, well.

What girl (or guy) hasn’t walked around barefoot after a much deserved pedicure? Mary Kate Olsen is no different. Not wanting to destroy her newly pedicured feet, MK decided to bare it all (her feet) and air dry those suckers. Good idea. Our photogs found her yesterday in Beverly Hills and, as usual, she made sure the photogs didn’t get too many face shots of her. She’s really good at this, by the way. There’s nothing really new on the MK front. She’s working on a coffee table book with her twin. She’s probably dating some scraggly-looking dude whom she’ll dump soon, and she wears big sunglasses. What else? Hmm, that about covers it. You’re very welcome.

You can’t underestimate the Olsen twins. They have a billion-dollar empire and have their hands on every project they work on. I guess this would include building a new house because Mary Kate was found visiting the construction site of her Malibu home. Check out her digs. Very nice indeed. Is Full House still on TV somewhere, maybe Nick at Nite or something. Anyway, I like the fact that she visits her house while it’s being built. You have to be very hands-on with something of this magnitude. And hello, with a Malibu address, I’m sure she’s paying a pretty penny for that sucker. Take a good look at this lovely house, ladies and gents, because I’m sure it’ll be home to a lot of wild parties starring young Hollywood soon. And really, who knew such a tiny person would need all that space. At any rate, happy house building, MK.

Seriously, where do these lovely young starlets learn how to drive? We already know about the DUI problem, but how about the annoying little things that they shouldn’t be doing during normal business hours? Check out Mary Kate Olsen for example. In the picture above she’s being picked up by her twin, Ashley, after a shopping excursion. Maybe Mary Kate needed to buy something quick at CVS drugstore (doubt it), so Ashley had to do a drive-by to pick her up. Usually, though, shopping drive-by’s involve your driver buddy just waiting at the curb. In this case, though, Ashley decided to take up a whole left lane of a busy street. Interesting. Okay then. They probably figured if Britney can get away with such driving madness, then they can go unnoticed doing this. Hmm, good point. Alright Olsen twins, carry on with what you were doing.

PETA doesn’t like fur. The Olsen Twins like fur. So naturally, PETA has been on a collision course with the Olsen twins for some time and it’s finally come to a head with PETA’s online trash campaign against the thin twins. PETA started up the Meet The Trollsen Twins campaign at the Hollywood and Highland complex today with the objective of convincing The Trollsens, I mean Olsen Twins to stop wearing and using fur in their clothing line. PETA’s creative I’d Rather Go Naked anti-fur campaigns in the past have included photographs of celebrities such as Eva Mendes and Christina Applegate wearing nothing but the skin God gave them. Personally, I’ve never been a fan of PETA but only because I already don’t agree with the use of fur, but I do wear leather, so I’m torn. Check out the video of PETA spokesperson Lisa Lange dubbing the fantastically skinny sisters, Hairy-Kate and Trashley Trollsen. And check out pictures from the PETA protest and pictures of the Olsen Twins wearing the aforementioned fur.
