My friend Naomi is writing her PhD on teen and tween pop culture. She has an entire chapter dedicated to the mary-kateandashley franchise–their books, DVDs, music and more!

However, she’s a bit stuck and needs your help. Naomi is looking for girls in their late teens and early twenties who grew up reading the mary-kateandashley books and remembers watching their DVDs, Two of a Kind and So Little Time. All she needs is for you to fill out a questionairre about your memories of Mary-Kate and Ashley. It shouldn’t take too long, and she can even change your name for her thesis if you are worried about privacy.

If you’re interested in helping Naomi out, email her at hamer.naomi@googlemail.com.

Ashley Olsen was seen leaving Orso, a trendy restaurant in LA, last night with Justin Bartha and pal Estee Stanley (who looks very pregnant!) and her husband. Ashley was wearing a fedora and hid her face from the cameras the entire time.

I love Ashley, but wouldn’t life be easier if she just didn’t hide from the paparazzi? They’re taking photos anyway. But then again, I’m not a celebrity and will never understand what it’s like to have cameras in my face 24/7.

If you were a celebrity, how would you deal with paparazzi?

Ashley Olsen has been laying pretty low n Los Angeles this past week. My guess is she’s spending a lot of time with boyfriend Justin Bartha. The two of them were spotted in Beverly Hills on August 29 picking up what I think is food. Ashley was talking on her cell phone while Justin waiting patiently .

Later, the twosome were spotted carrying a large brown bag. Ashley had her arm around Justin’s waist.

Earlier the same day, Ashley was seen leaving the Neil George Hair Salon. Her hair was wet and she was wearing a different outfit–brown pants and a loose gray shirt. She was also carrying coffee!

According to the National Enquirer, Mary-Kate Olsen has all but forgotten about her NYC-based artist boyfriend Nate Lowman and is now focusing her romantic efforts on Apatowian funnyman and Superbad star Jonah Hill.

A source saw the twosome together at the Chateau Marmont, and says they were “totally enamored” with each other.

“It was a shock to see Mary-Kate together with, of all people, geeky Jonah,” their source claims. “They were on a double date with another couple, dining at the hotel around 10 p.m. Mary-Kate and Jonah sat close together and seemed totally into each other. They were both wearing plaid shirts that almost matched. It was the cutest thing.”

What bohers me about this is that Jonah and MK have known each other for years and years–they went to the same high school. So unless this source saw them making out, I seriously doubt it was more than just friends catching up and having a good time.

CW recently announced their fall line-up, and on it was a show called Surviving the Filthy Rich, which is now titled Privileged According to the LA Times, the show revolves around a recent Yale graduate who takes a job as an assistant for infamous teenage twins. She’s required to get the twins into an A-list college, among other treacherous tasks.

I think that the structure of the show may be inspired by the twins (i.e. the fact there are twins at all!) but I’m betting that’s where the similarities end. But what do I know?

Here’s the promo for the show:

The show originally stemmed from the 2007 novel by Zoey Dean called How To Teach Filthy Rich Girls. Has anyone read it? It’s entirely possible that the book was inspired by the girls, because it was written at a time they were considering colleges and started at NYU.

Are you going to watch this show?

Mary-Kate Olsen came back to New York this weekend. She was spotted leaving her apartment in Soho Monday afternoon. She’s wearing cut-off shorts and a loose black cardigan with low gladiator sandals.

I think she looks a lot like Ashley in these pics. I don’t know what it is–either the hair, the outfit, or just the fact I miss Ashley!

While Mary-Kate Olsen never publicly reacted to Spencer Pratt’s calling her a “troll” and the “uglier Olsen twin,” this week’s Life & Style is reporting that Mary-Kate got back at him in her own way–very privately.

According to the magazine, she designed t-shirts with Spencer’s face on them, with the caption “Heidi’s Ho” underneath. She then texted photos of it to all her friends, asking if they wanted to buy one.

Life & Style called MK’s rep, who denied the existence of such a shirt. Even if it were true, why would a rep say so?

Since MK and Spencer and all of young Hollywood have several friends in common, this photo even got back to Lauren Conrad, who apparently wants a shirt herself.

“Lauren found out about the shirt and wants one,” their source claims. “Lauren told her she wants to wear it, so Mary-Kate is going to send her one.”

While it’s smart to keep personal tussles like this private, making a t-shirt and sending it out to friends seems like way more effort than Spencer is worth. What do you think? Did MK do this? And if so, is it funny? Or as low as Spencer himself?
