Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen The 2011 CFDA Fashion Awards at Alice Tully Hall

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen are a pair of one of the most famous sets of twins ever, and perhaps the wealthiest.  They are now reuniting on the same screen after 18 years.  The girls have a monthly series for their site StyleMint, where their exclusive fans can watch them perform an impromptu BBQ, wearing red, white and blue. This a members-only site that offers customers exclusive collections of eight T-shirts a month for 29.99 each.

The monthly series will have a contest for viewers to submit a photo or video of themselves celebrating the “T Moment,” and this month is all about showing how you celebrate independence. July T moment entries can be submitted through July 31 at facebook.com/mystylemint and the lucky winner will receive a year-long membership. Winners will be announced on the Facebook page on August 5.

It’s nice to see the girls back on the same page again.  They are just adorable.

Kirsten Dunst, and Mary Kate Olsen Raid Grandma’s Closet ForThe MET Ball

I will be the first to admit I know very little about couture or high-end fashion. And I’m really okay with that. What I also know is I would never go out looking like Kirsten Dunst or Mary Kate Olsen did attending last night’s ‘Savage Beauty’ Costume Institute Gala at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.

I sense Kirsten’s discomfort as she stands close to Gisele Bundchen which must suck because it’s bad enough going out looking like that (her stylist must hate her guts), but to stand beside Glamazon Gisele who looks beyond stunning would make the most confident of people head back home. Do I see a look of distaste on Glamazon’s face?

As for Mary Kate Olsen, I’ve just completely given up hope of her ever looking like she didn’t just roll out of bed or finish smoking from a bong for the last 5 hours while listening to Jimi Hendrix. I detect a hint of a smirk creeping up on her face so perhaps we are making some progress I’m just too disillusioned to care.

Ashley and Mary Kate Olsen were at he Women’s Wear Daily 100 Anniversary Gala at Cipriani on 42nd Street in New York City dressed in the usual black.  Blah-dee-dah.  These girls are too beautiful to always dress so dark and with such heavy eye makeup.  Sure, they are 24-years-old now.  But I would love to see a few pics of them in a natural setting. Maybe even with no makeup.  Or here’s a thought, in bikinis!  No I am not perverted.  Just wanted to see if they are really vampires under all of that.

Mary Kate is staying busy in the acting department, but it’s been radio silence from Ashley for about six years.  Up next we’ll get to see Mary Kate alongside Vanessa Hudgens in ‘Beastly.’  That’s another random matchup.

The stars came out big for the opening night of Lend Me A Tenor in New York which stars Anthony LaPaglia, Tony Shalhoub and Justin Bartha and is directed by Stanley Tucci.  It is getting reviews for at times ‘being hysterically funny’.

it depicts the comic chaos that ensues when a superstar tenor from Italy arrives for his debut performance in the starring role of “Otello” with the local opera company

All the ladies of ‘Nine’ at last night’s New York premiere looked gorgeous, but I have to say Stacy ‘Fergie’ Ferguson looks like a Grecian Goddess.  Here she is posing with co-star Kate Hudson and Kate’s mother Goldie Hawn.  Goldie Hawn also looks incredible.

• Madonna
• Lourdes Leon

• Donald Trump
• Rob Marshall

Kate Hudson talked about what it was like to work with legend Sophia Loren:

“With Sophie Loren it was a whole other ball game,” She’s a living legend. She was the Ma in the movie and she was just like that on set too, she took care of everyone. She was always making sure we were all OK.”

And if you wondered how that many women got along in one room:

“There was a lot of oestrogen in one room. It was fun, I liked it. We had a two month rehearsal process. We shot two scenes right at the beginning where we were all together, the overture and finale, so we spent quite a bit of time together. It took two weeks to rehearse. It was definitely very girly for everyone. We’ve all known each other and seen each other around before, but to really work with people you admire, it was just great.“

Lots of pictures after the break

Tim Burton was honoured last night at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York where 14 of his films are being showcased along with all his other works.  He says of being being honoured:

“In my life, I’ve had many surreal, great things happen — meeting my idol, Vincent Price; being able to make movies; and this one, I think, tops it in the sense that it’s the most amazing and surreal, and that’s what you look for in life, is these great and incredible [experiences].”

On hand to celebrate his body of work:  Johnny Depp, Patti  Smyth, Ashley Olsen, Mary-Kate Olsen, Ashley Greene, Helena Bonham Carter, and Gabourey Sidibe
