Yeah cause buying a bagel and taking it home to toast by yourself is just not done anymore...LOL
 
Plain Ashley and what MK eats

The Olsens were on Oprah yesterday – most boring interview ever.

Seriously…

You’d think the Mighty Opes would slap her big stick around more often, non? She’s Oprah. She could have asked them whatever she wanted to. Instead though, Oprah decided to throw softballs and spent too much time discussing with Mary Kate and Ashley what they like for breakfast.

An entire conversation ensued about bagels and omelettes and soy milk.

Riveting.

They were there to promote their book Influence – something about art and style – and their new clothing line. The twins insisted that they go to work everyday and don’t party like their peers. Right. They also shot a short segment during which they interview each other.

As you would expect, MK looks like an old lady who is cold all the time, so cold she’d probably shiver in a desert.

And they both… speak… so … slowly. Like they’re underwater. Like their mouths have to work extra hard to push the words out. Makes me want to rub my jaw. It’s exhausting just watching.

Anyway, check out Ashley at the Fashion Group Night of Stars event last night looking as plain as Jennifer Garner and just as old. Even the shoes were boring! Ashley revealed on Oprah that she’s a homebody. Clearly this is the new image we’re trying to cultivate.

Someone has too much time on their hands to actually write an article about her bagel habits. Sheesh.
 
Regarding the Oprah interview & MK's romantic life: it dawned on me that she might have said "I'm not in the relationship," meaning Ashley's, therefore it's not her place to judge. But maybe everyone else caught onto that already ;)

They weren't boring, per se, they're just visibly uncomfortable in a live-audience interview environment. They seemed very conscious of what they were going to say next, wracking their brains to prevent any follow-up questions that could lead to more personal territory. I enjoyed it, regardless of whether or not Ashley lies about her bagels :lol:
 
:lol: :lol: :lol:


btw can anyone please tell me, i used to think their borthers name was trant. oprah said is was james. because of elizabeth and james. elizabeth for lizzie and james for their brother. which actually makes sense. but i used to think their olter brothers name was trent not james...

^ THIS CONFUSED ME TOO. But I just googled Trent Olsen and, look what we have here! I guess he went by Trent when he was young (and maybe still does? I definitely remember hearing about Trent, not James) and/or when he was acting with his sisters. I wonder which name he goes by today! I know their sister is referred to as Lizzie, maybe they just wanted to use their siblings' given names for the line.
 
oh thank you ^_^


and another question: maybe it is common in USA but it confuses me:
why have ash and lizzie the same middle name?

Ashley Fuller Olsen
Elizabeth Fuller Olsen


and why does MK not is named Fuller also? Mary Kate Olsen :huh:

confusions
 
I believe Fuller is their mother's maiden name, I'm not sure why Ash was given that as a middle but it's possible they just couldn't think of anything better.

I'm pretty sure both their mother and father went on to remarry and have more kids. I know Elizabeth and James are their true biological siblings.
 
yeah they are. and the taylor and jake are their halfsiblings.

but why are lizzie and ash also named fuller?
 
I guess Mary-Kate didn't have a middle name because her name is two names already, and the other girls in the family got their mother's maiden name?
 
^actually kate is her middle name, cause before her name was split in two and when they were around 10, for marketing reasons they decided to change Mary kate for Mary-kate... I read this a while ago, I surprised me a little bit and that´s why I still remember it.

My middle name is my mom's maiden name... it's actually a fairly common thing to do. My parents didn't do it because they couldn't think of something more creative; they did to have both of their families be a part of me. :flower:

I agree... the whole bagel thing is weird.. i double toast my bagels too... shoot me then fashionista lol?? i kid
 
because i don't want to put this in their thread, even though it's technically not a rumour...

We don't understand why the Olsens bother doing things that garner publicity. Because when they do, their fans crawl out from manhole covers with heightened interest in them. And then the Olsens are expected to feed that interest by talking to the media and even interacting with those fans in person. Shudder. So while we are enormously grateful for their new book, Influence, because it truly is a good read, we don't understand why they put themselves through the sheer visibility of it all. Before Influence they never talked to reporters at events, though they had no qualms about posing for photos. They barely talked to magazines who did cover stories of them. And now they have to go on Oprah, where the conversation is limited to breakfast (never eating disorders! Oprah tried). They held a party for the book at Barneys last night but didn't want reporters to cover it. This afternoon they signed books at Barnes & Noble. And they did everything they could to ensure extremely limited interaction with their fans, including handing out a list of rules to anyone who wanted a book signed, which Racked got ahold of.

1) Mary-Kate Olsen and Ashley Olsen will be with us for a limited time. They will only be signing copies of their book, Influence. They will not be speaking, reading or taking questions.

2) Mary-Kate Olsen and Ashley Olsen will NOT sign any memorabilia or product other than Influence. There is a limit of one book per person, and your one book must be purchased here.

3) You will be directed to pay for your book upon entering the store and will be given a receipt for your purchase. Please keep your receipt. You will receive your book at the signing table.

4) Along with your receipt, you will be given a B&N wristband, and then directed to the event space on the 4th floor. You must have a receipt and a wristband to access the 4th floor.

5) Anyone approaching the signing table must have paid for the book and be wearing a B&N wristband. One person, one wristband, one book.

6) You will collect your signed book at the signing table. If you have paid for any additional copies, a staff member will provide you with those before you exit the space.

7) There is no photography allowed. You must put away your camera or cell phone before approaching the signing table. The authors will not pose for photos.

8) If you leave, or the authors leave, before you are able to collect a signed book, you may present your receipt to a cashier for either an unsigned book or a refund. (Refunds only issued within 14 days of receipt.)

9) There will be no extra signed copies available after the authors leave the store. They will not be able to sign for anyone who is not on line. No pre-orders.
 
Thanks for posting that, kimair. Not unexpected, any of those rules.

This book sure is stirring controversy. PETA showed up at their book signing. Some pics, and text, from dlisted

The Olsen trolls left their post at the bridge today to sign copies of their pretentious book at Barnes & Nobles in NYC's Union Square today. The book weighs more than the both of them combined.
The little evil trolls were greeted by the b*tches from Peta who dressed up for the occasion and stood in the rain. I know what I'm going to be for Halloween now....
I bet the Olsens would take "fur tramps" as a compliment. They probably smiled at Peta hos and said, "Aww. prune. Thank you. prune. That's sweet. prune."
Here's the Olsen trolls looking kind of clean (?) while signing the book of a really hot fan today.

This is just dumb. Just ask someone to take the photo, it takes 5seconds and it can mean a lot to someone who really like them
 
The funny thing is that in Influence...Ashley says one of her nicknames is Trashley. LOL I wonder if her friends picked that up from PETA...

The Influential Market

The Olsens at their book launch today – some kind of coffee table piece, something to do with what influences them style wise…but marketed to whom?

Do you really need to know where MK found her billionaire street urchin flavoured inspiration? I’ve no problem ripping off her vibe now and again but I don’t give a sh-t where it came from…

Do you?

Maybe if you’re 15, right?

Therein lies the rub: they can never grow up. In that respect, Mary Kate and Ashley aren’t so different from Avril Lavigne.

Oh snap!

But at the very least they look better. And they do look beautiful. Especially now that neither appears to be alarmingly thin. LOVE Ashley’s leather skinnys. LOVE, as always, MK’s kinky waves. LOVE their addiction to black eyeliner. And word is what happened in January scared Mary Kate straight.
