ASHLEY OLSEN TOASTED “BEING ALIVE” AFTER HER UNSCHEDULED LANDING

According to our eyewitness, Ashley Olsen remained calm during her close call on that Ny to LA United flight that had to make an “unscheduled” landing at Dulles Airport. “Ashley had four seats in a row in business class – one for her, her boyfriend Justin Bartha, her French bulldog puppy, and her bodyguard. The people in first class were really frightened because they saw the flames and smoke coming out of the cockpit.” Attendants raced around grabbing fire extinguishers, but passenger Phil Lobel, (traveling with his adorable dog Lucy) a Hollywood publicist, told us he didn’t realize how serious the situation was until he saw all the firetrucks and emergency equipment waiting for them at Dulles airport. The passengers, including Ashley, all met in the bar to toast “being alive” after the successful landing.

MARY-KATE AND ASHLEY OLSEN ARE TURNING THEIR BOYFRIENDS INTO MODELS

When Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen launched their menswear lines, their first “customers” were their respective boyfriends Nate Lowman and Justin Bartha. The twins gave Justin and Nate whatever they wanted from the lines and the guys like them so much they ended up wearing the clothes almost every day. They both have different styles, but somehow they agree on the clothes. Mary-Kate and Ashley were delighted and talked their guys into appearing in a series of ads promoting the clothing lines.

GET IN LINE! MARY-KATE AND ASHLEY OLSEN ARE SELLING CLOTHES OUT OF A TRUCK

Ashley and Mary-Kate Olsen work hard for the money. The girls have yet another clothing line – this is an affordable sporty collection called Olsenboye – aimed at teens for JC Penny. They’re promoting the new line in a pink ice cream truck that’s parked in a different NYC neighborhood every day. Clothes are both shown and sold from the truck and the money goes to charity. Cute idea. We hope to see the truck on Robertson Blvd.

Ashley Olsen Elizabeth & James Fashion Mary Kate Olsen

MARY-KATE AND ASHLEY OLSEN ARE TAKING CARE OF BUSINESS

When is the last time you saw Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen looking so blonde – or so happy? The twins are in Canada promoting their “Elizabeth & James” fashion line on the Muchmusic TV show. We’re guessing they’re happy because, despite the recession, business is good for them. It’s not often celebrity designers can start off at Wal-Mart and end up at posh stores like Barneys. The Olsens still have their tween line at Wal-Mart, they have their Elizabeth & James line at upscale department stores, and their high end collection “The Row” at exclusive boutiques.

THE OLSEN TWINS JOIN FORCES TO HUNT FOR HANDBAGS

We haven’t seen Ashley and Mary-Kate Olsen just hanging out and shopping together for quite awhile. After so many years of togetherness, they are, indeed, leading separate lives. Here they are in the handbag department in Barneys on Madison Avenue – we forget how tiny they are until we see them around a lot of normal sized people. Note Mary-Kate’s sheer shoes.

MARY-KATE AND ASHLEY OLSEN TAKE A BREAK FROM HIGH HEELS

Ashley and Mary-Kate Olsen had a business meeting in the fashionable meat packing district of New York. As usual, Mary-Kate is a little more accessorized than her sister, but we love how tiny Ashley looks in flat boots. (Especially compared to the giant behind her.)

MARY KATE AND ASHLEY ARE UNDAUNTED BY PETA

It’s time PETA figured out that personal insults are NOT the way to coax people into stop wearing fur. This is how they appeared at the Olsen twins book signing in Westwood at Borders. It’s enough to make you want to go out and buy something furry as soon as possible just to defy them.

Unruffled by the insults, Mary-Kate and Ashley must be at a good place in their lives. They look happier and healthier than ever. And we appreciate the fact that they don’t wear skin tight clothes like so many misguided celebrities do.

ASHLEY OLSEN'S DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE

Ashley Olsen really IS starting to distance herself from her more adventurous sister Mary-Kate. She promoted her book “Influence” on the Letterman show, and has never looked more subtle and sophisticated. Maybe the Enquirer was right when they claimed that she is planning to marry her actor boyfriend Justin Bartha next summer in the South of France with a million dollar wedding.

THE OLSEN TWINS ADD TO THEIR EMPIRE

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen look particularly healthy here as they promote their new book “Influence.” The coffee table book is all about the people who inspired the successful twins – from Lauren Hutton to Karl Lagerfeld. Still, the Olsens seem down to earth – one of the twins (our eyewitness can’t tell them apart) was seen at the Fairfax flea market lugging around a wrought iron 50’s telephone table she’d just bought, looking delighted with her score.

Ashley Olsen Fashion Mary Kate Olsen The Row

YOU KNOW THE OLSEN'S DESIGNS ARE SPECIAL IF MAXFIELD CARRIES THEM

Last weekend we had our first hands-on experience with Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen’s upscale clothing line called “The Row.” (It’s named after the sartorially famous Savile Rowe in London.) The Olsens are best known for their perky Wal-Mart designs but this collection is obviously a labor of love. It’s very expensive and only sold in stores like Barneys New York, Browns in London, and Maxfield. (These are the places the Olsens actually shop at.) Maxfield had their final markdown sale last week and we saw some of the Olsen’s lush merchandise, including black leather leggings. We found a pair of unusual long red sleeves reduced to $29 by The Row and we snapped them up.
