Soooo Cute!!!

The Olsen girls at Paris Fashion Week. They are there to debut their new fashion line (!!!), after which Ashley plans to host some manner of Wiccan chanting circle, and Mary-Kate's gonna try to pick herself up some broads.

Mary-Kate Olsen, Hard-Nosed Journalist

Or, you know, candy-nosed journalist, white-nosed journalist, powder-nosed journalist. Take your pick. Ana's BFF submitted the "My Favorite Purse" essay she wrote in fifth grade to the New York Times, and in return they handed over her very own byline:

I have a large, red quilted Chanel bag that I borrowed from my sister Ashley. I wore it to an event and never gave it back. Luckily, she's moved on to another bag, so I'm safe for now. I'm not quite sure how many bags I have, but let's just say I have a few. When I find a bag I like, I tend to wear it to death until I become obsessed with another one. This probably happens three to five times a year. But I always come back to the Chanel. The size isn't overwhelming, and it has enough subtle detail to keep it interesting.

I also have the smaller version in blue and in white, but the red is definitely my favorite. I don't have a stylist — I'd rather just do my own thing and put together my own outfits. The chain-handle bag is the perfect accent to almost any combination I come up with. I look at everything with a designer's eye, but I wouldn't change a thing about this bag. I think that's why it's a true classic.

Wow, MK. Tear. Did someone say "Pulitzer"? I think yes.

Thanks to Gawker for the heads-up.

Fashion Victim of the Week

Oh Miss Mary Kate. I understand that you are still trying to rock the "Boho" or "Homeless-Chic" look. The only problem is is that it has gotten out of control. Perhaps I could forgive the fact that you haven't brushed or washed your hair in a few days. Perhaps I could forgive the whole plaid situation. The issue I have to take with your outfit is YOU LOOK LIKE YOU ARE NOT WEARING PANTS. Honey, if you wear leggings, be sure you are covering up your lady parts. Or wear leggings that are a little more opaque. She totally is in need of a makeover. Where are Cher and Dionne when you need them?

That Oil Money Sure Does Buy a Lot of Cocaine

Just ask Mary-Kate Olsen. A year after Paris Hilton stole her prior heir -- of the Greek shipping variety -- the pint-sized bag lady is "quietly dating" oil heir Maxwell Snow, in the hopes that, if Paris Hilton doesn't catch word of his existence, she can't fuck him. But Paris Hilton can fuck anything. Watch your back, MK.

Snow is from some famous Texas oil family, and is Uma Thurman's nephew (Did you know Uma Thurman came from oil money? I didn't.)

I'm Sick Today. Phoning It In. Sorry for the Unfunny.

• Is Natalie Portman dating British billionaire Nat Rotschild? Say it ain't so!



• Mary-Kate Olsen is totally her new boyfriend's Mini Me.



• While taping Oprah on Wednesday, Jennfer Aniston claims she and Vince Vaughn have not broken up, but also notes that they're not engaged. Um, did anyone mention to Ms. Aniston that there are pictures of the man she's not broken up with making out with a woman who's not her floating all over the Internet?



• I'd be excited to run into Counting Crows' Adam Duritz pretty much anywhere, with the exception being on my boyfriend's back. (In tattoo form.)



• I haven't written much (read: anything) about the YouTube channel Diddy started with Burger King; while I consider myself Web 2.0-savvy, I have to admit, I just don't understand how it could possibly work. I feel a little better about that, now, because neither does most of the country.



• Premiere Magazine lists The 50 Biggest Hollywood Disasters, for your trainwreck-viewing pleasure.

I Eat Celebs for Lunch

• Paris Hilton finally gets that elusive DUI. Sorry to those of you who had your money on Lohan. Her spokesperson, Perez Hilton -- er, um, Elliot Mintz -- says the arrest was "probably the result of an empty stomach and working all day and being fatigued." During her arrest, Hilton failed to make comments disparaging any particular race or religion, and was released within hours. TMZ has art.
• According to the AP, AmIdol's Clay Aiken is being considered to be named to the President's Committee for People with Intellectual Disabilities, the White House said Wednesday. As if this statement alone isn't funny enough on so many levels, check out the photo the AP chose to run with the story.

  

• Kristin Cavalleri is whoring around with DJ AM, Nicole Richie's ex. So you, like, totally don't care about that whole Brody Jenner thing, right K?
• Lionel Richie lies and says a doctor told him Nicole's not anorexic. The "doctor" said Nicole's weight loss was "stress-related" and "due to his divorce from her mother and from all the media attention his daughter gets." So, you know, anorexia.
• Michelle Tanner really needs to ash that cigarette.

  

Breaking: Mary Kate Olsen Was Not a Good Intern

Britain's Telegraph had the good sense to contract the services of Anna Wintour's daughter, Bee Shaffer, to write a brief column on the plight of today's fashion intern. The whole article is a riot, containing insights like that "the actual process of acquiring an internship has become one of the most common forms of nepotism, with parents relentlessly calling in favours [sic] from friends (I must admit to abusing a few connections myself), while hard-working, intelligent and deserving students are frequently turned away so that some eminent person's daughter can have the job." Thanks, Bee.

So far, this is all data we could have acquired from the average Conde Nast wannabe at UC Boulder. Bee, can you puh-lease pull some of those Wintour-spawn strings and shed some light on a topic hidden from the rest of us mere mortals? Of course, she can, dear readers. Of course she can. Bee obligingly dishes:

Teen actress Mary-Kate Olsen worked for the photographer Annie Leibowitz...I happen to know one of Mary-Kate's fellow interns and he informed me that she didn't know what a negative was, and that when she attended a Sarah Jessica Parker shoot, she only stayed for an hour and all she did was sit and smoke Marlboro Reds. Apparently, she not only left the photo assistants dumbfounded, but also Ms Parker, who muttered: "What the hell is an Olsen twin doing here?"

So there you go, from the mouth of Bee Shaffer herself, the totally unnecessary bashing of Mary-Kate Olsen's skills as a photography intern, with some Sarah Jessica Parker bewilderment tossed in, just in case it tasted a little bland before. This girl has a bright, bright future.
