Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen are literati? You got it, dude

Olsentwinsbook_lThe Olsen twins, "actress" Mary-Kate and style "icon" Ashley, have "announced" in the "press" that they will "author" a new "book." Influences will reportedly be about the other "celebrity" types who have — thank Uncle Jesse and all the saints for this! — influenced them. And here I was, calling this a slow "news" day

(Might their list of "influences" include the Velvet Underground?)

What we really need to establish, PopWatchers, is: Does anyone care one iota what influences the Olsen twins?

    no

  • Snarf

    I could probably care less, but I’m not entirely sure how.

  • CdrIvanova

    I don’t think I’ve seen that many quote marks in a single paragraph before … well done!
    And no, I don’t care :-)

  • daisyj

    Influences them to what? Not eat? Appear in direct-to-DVD movies? Consume the souls of the innocent? Are they not aware that “what are your influences” is just a question reporters ask when there is nothing actually interesting about you, and not actually an indication that there is a widespread need for this information?

  • PDub

    hellz no

  • Jenna Von Oy

    “Awesome” post.

  • Jenna Von Oy

    I meant that in a good way, in case it wasnt clear!

  • CMU

    Hahaha awesome. No, I really don’t care. Their only talent seems to have been used up years ago on Full House, being precious little moppets. Now they’re just poorly dressed crack whores.

    I want to know what inspired Mary Kate to dress like a homeless woman.
    My guess though is that we reading public really want the exposé. What did one of them end up in rehab for, really? DO the twins party like President Bush’s daughters used to? Given how Mary Kate’s on Weeds, did she ever go through a “stoner” phase? Something tells me such a book would be a bestseller.
    CMU, I loved your comment. It was a maybe little mean, but certainly a lotta’ funny.

  • CMU

    Ah! The famed ep sato liked my comment! Yay! I am honored. :) Yes, it’s a bit harsh, but honestly, what have they really DONE lately? They look awful.

  • Sari

    I care because…they really are icons in the world of fashion. Look at most New York or LA styles these days and it’s all stuff the Olsens started wearing first. Anyone who likes Project Runway or has some interest in fashion will be able to appreciate a coffee table book chronicling these girls’ inspirations, even if it’s done standing in an aisle of Barnes and Noble and not at home.

  • Joy

    What’s with their “smiles”? Have they lost their teeth? They look weird!

  • Jael

    Fashionistas care because they are amazingly inventive especially for their age. P.S. Mary-Kate is more of the icon. http://fashionmefabulous.blogspot.com/

  • Tom

    Can the proceeds from this book go to deterring other talentless celebrities from thinking we care?

  • Chubby

    Where do these girls find the time? I mean, with all of the “work” that they do. I just hope Jodie Sweetin makes an appearance.

    Oooo, the pop bloggers are being wicked today. I say kudos to the twins for taking a different direction with their style. It might not be main stream and maybe some of their looks fall short, but they take chances, and stumbles tend to occur when the risks are higher. Furthermore, I think it is less than classy to be calling out the twins for any struggles with body image. They have not been in the news for DUI’s, drug abuse, or lewd behavior, but for actual mental illnesses that they sought treatment for. And finally, the fact that the two are acting less currently is in my opinion wonderful. The alternative could be the twins pulling a Lohan and playing Stripperella’s in god-awful D-Grade movies. So, cut the girls some slack…Oh, and much more idiotic and unnecessary books have been published by washed up actors, actresses, reality tv stars, celebrity parents, etc.

  • Nose

    It’s funny…we’ll have tons of people posting about how little they care about this, but I bet the book will be a damn bestseller. I’ll say it before and I’ll say it again…if we just ignore them, they’ll go away, people!

  • Catherine

    And in the “Press Releases We Stopped Reading” category…

  • CMU

    Are you serious, Sari? Yes, they’ve made a few good fashion choices, but go look on any “What were they thinking?” or “Worst Dressed This Week” list and you will find one of them, wearing something akin to a garbage bag, greasy, messy hair, and copious amounts of eyeliner. They consistently look homeless. I don’t think being weird is being a “fashion icon.” They are really not that inventive.

  • Anonymous

    Nope!

  • Tas

    Okay, this is mean, but the Olson twins are scary to me. With their big eyes, little heads and bodies, they remind me of Troll dolls. I’m sorry, but they creep me out.

  • chippy

    No I, for one could care less.

  • PUNKBOOKKEEPER

    They are not worthy to as much as tie Nico’s shoelaces.

  • Drug Rehabs

    One of the best drug addiction treatment programs is residential treatment program which is also known as inpatient program. In this program, the patient has to stay in the drug rehab center until he is fully recovered from drug/alcohol addiction.
