Elizabeth Olsen’s 10 Most Fashionable Looks

Go back to your solid gold penthouse in your skyscraper made of diamonds, Mary-Kate and Ashley, because there’s a new Olsen sister in town! Although not as renowned as her billionaire twin sisters, Elizabeth Olsen has also been acting since she was a tot. She had bit parts in The Adventures of Mary-Kate and Ashley VHS series, as well as a small role in the instant classic, How The West Was Fun. But while the twins developed their skills in the public eye, Elizabeth has been quietly honing her acting craft with years of study.

Did I Do That? From Sitcom Kids To Grown-Up Stars

Why can’t the world let Jaleel White be great? The man formerly known as Urkel complained to People today that he feels limited by his sitcom past. “I’m very versatile, but somehow I didn’t earn the tag of being called a versatile actor,” the former Family Matters star says. “I’m still chasing that one Vanity Fair tag that says, ‘This guy’s a versatile actor.’ I accept it. It’s fine. But for me, it’s like what do I have to do to get that [acknowledgment]?”

Luckily for White, those different and exciting roles could still be just around the corner! Your career doesn’t have to end when those highwaters get too tight to wear! Check out our gallery of sitcom kids, from Leo DiCaprio to Raven-Symone to Sarah Jessica Parker, who successfully made the transition from adorable youngsters to adult film and television stars. And hey…don’t lose the faith, Jaleel.

The Olsen Twins Sell $35,000 Backpack For Fashion Label The Row

The Olsen twins have always been profoundly interested in fashion (though sometimes it is extremely hard to tell), so it only makes sense they would want the rest of us to be as deeply invested as well. So deeply invested, in fact, that we would consider taking a homeowner’s loan to afford their new black leather croc backpack, available through their line The Row. How much does it cost to own such a life-changing bag? Somewhere between $35,000 and $39,000, depending on where it’s for sale. Did we mention that it has a drawstring? Did we mention that it’s ONE SINGLE BACKPACK?

New York’s Barney’s will be carrying the bags, and as their fashion director Amanda Brooks told Fashionista.com about the Olsens’ backpack, ‘I think if you were every going to spend $39,000 on a bag, that’s the bag you should buy because I think you’d wear it for a really long time. There’s enough design to make it interesting and beautiful but they truly are classic bags–and I think you also might be the only one who has it.” Apparently two of the bags have been pre-ordered, which means they won’t even be unique, you crazy rich socialites! If the Olsens made these bags as a hilarious prank, then bravo. If not…then these two are certifiable marketing geniuses.

The Olsen Twins: Through The Years

From the earliest days in their joint role as Michelle Tanner on Full House, Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen have been starlets with ‘tude. Though rarely seen on screen since their years in the TGIF line-up, the scrunchied, pouty-lipped duo made a killing on Full House syndication and their seemingly-hundreds of videos of capers and sleepovers, and the subsequent soundtracks and books. Remember “I Am The Cute One?”
These days the billionaire twins spend their time as businesswomen with a successful clothing line and while the Olsens often still coordinate outfits for events, gone are the days of clones in denim and hair bows.

Rumors We Love: Kanye West And Mary-Kate Olsen Hooking Up!

Let’s all do a resounding Happy (Belated) Birfday for Mr Kanye West! Mary-Kate Olsen was his present, if PerezHilton has his story right. The site reports that the rapper rang in his 34th year at the Submercer club in NYC on Wednesday night and wound up hooking up with Mary-Kate!

Both the sisters like their musicians, eh? Twin Ashley Olsen supposedly snagged Justin Timberlake on the friends with benefits train. We’re dying to know if these trysts actually happened but we have a strong feeling no one is actually going to admit to them. About Kanye and Mary-Kate, though. Both fashionistas. Both kinda weird. So, it does add up! But a word of advice to both dudes: do not mix them up! We still can’t tell them apart, so it’s tricky business.

Justin Timberlake And Ashley Olsen: Friends With Benefits?

Justin Timberlake‘s rep may say he’s “not romantically involved with anyone,” but ain’t nobody said anything about romance. The gossip world’s been buzzing since Timberlake and Ashley Olsen caught a play a week ago, and a source for People‘s source—while admitting “they were hanging out as a group”—is happy to add fuel to the fire. “I’m not sure if Ashley is serious with Justin or not,” says the insider. “They aren’t dating but they have hooked up recently.” Hiyo! Do you mean “hook up” as in “swapped numbers to discuss a potential fashion line collaboration” or “hook up” as in “Justin gave Ashley a sneak preview of scenes from his upcoming summer comedy, Friends With Benefits“? Because there’s a huuuuge difference.

Considering Timberlake would rather sing praises of exes like Jessica Biel and Britney Spears than compile a running list of the famous ladies he’s brought sexy back to since reclaiming bachelorhood, it’s possible this dalliance with Ashley will fall into the “maybe they did, maybe they didn’t” vortex along those alleged escapades Olivia Wilde and Olivia Munn. But that gabby People source isn’t so sure. “Ashley is a relationship person, much more than [her sister, Mary-Kate], so we’ll see.” Um, no offense to Ashley, but her commitment to this potential relationship isn’t what we’re questioning.

WTF Were They Thinking? The 12 Worst Dressed Stars At The Met Gala

Here they are — our picks for the absolute ugliest, WTF-iest and just way off outfits at tonight’s Costume Institute Gala. The annual event — held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and hosted by Vogue and Anna Wintour — is arguably one of fashion’s biggest nights, and it always amazes us that so many people get it SO.WRONG. Kirsten Dunst! Riri! These are the gals we look to for inspiration, but their outfits, hair and shoes just blahhhh-ed tonight. Christina Hendricks normally wins every time she walks the carpet, but this outfit looks like something she dug out of a dumpster and smeared on her body. Naomi Campbell should throw her rhinestone-covered Blackberry at herself for this abysmal showing (Do we spy a scrunchie?!), Ashley Olsen‘s arms are sleeved in 100% fail and Freida Pinto is going to have to nail it on every red carpet for the rest of the year to make us forgive and forget this hipster douche tie monstrosity.

Check out our top 12 picks below.

Anna Kendrick Slipping, Olsen Twins Sloppy At Tribeca Film Festival

Up In The Air‘s Anna Kendrick found a less than subtle way to say “remember me?” at last night’s Tribeca Film Festival opening, walking the red carpet in a dress that appeared to be falling off her body without ever quite hitting the floor. Not quite as, well, inviting were Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen. While Ashley’s trenchcoat and droopy dress matched the pair’s usual “style,” Mary-Kate’s orange pants and crimson coat took things to…you know, we’re at a loss to come up with a coherent metaphor to describe this outfit. Goth Woody Woodpecker? Beast-Man glam? If you’ve got any ideas, go wild in the comments box.

See more photos of Anna, the Olsens and other stars at the TFF’s opening night in the gallery below—and dig on Elton John‘s sharp shoes!

Bob Saget Fondly Recalls Diapering The Olsen Twins

62380276

Full House’s Danny Tanner will always be our ideal sitcom dad, but jokes about how Bob Saget diapered the Olsen Twins when they were infants is really damaging the fantasy. Praising Mary-Kate and Ashley as “incredibly loving and generous,” Bob then reminisces “The joke I have with them is that I diapered them. They were three months old and doing the show and I also had a baby and there was a time when I knew how to diaper them really quickly. Of course, I had permission.” We don’t care if he had written permission from President Ronald Reagan, this still makes us super uncomfortable. Meanwhile, we’re sure the Olsens are just thrilled that their TV dad is bragging about helping with their diaper rash.

When asked if minded that he’ll be remembered primarily for his signature dad role, Saget argued “I don’t know if that’s true. What happens if I explode on the street and they say it’s ‘American’s Funniest Death’? It could be the video show or it could be a new show.” Well…it’ll probably be that exploding thing, if that actually happens. Sure, we all loved ABC’s TGIF line-up, but being splattered with exploding-person parts would make some serious headlines. [Photo: Getty Images]
