Ashley Olsen
Gossip

Coming out of her sister's shadow at last, Ashley Olsen strips down to a bra and bares her midriff in racy photos for the Summer 2009 issue of V Man magazine.

Olsen also dons a brown wig for the photo shoot, done to promote the launch of The Row's menswear line this fall. She designed the brand with sis Mary-Kate.

Here's Ash channeling her inner rocker chic ...

What attracts Ashley Olsen to a man? Or at least men's fashion?

"To touch a man who has a soft sweater on, a soft pant, a great jacket, or something that, as a woman, I want to take off and put on and feel sexy in," she says.

Ashley says she is content focusing on fashion designing these days, but her sister, "still wants to focus on acting," she says. As for whether they're still close?

"I see her like 10 times a day."

Following an evening of incredible fashion at the Costume Institute Gala at The Metropolitan Museum of Art last night, we've been matching up celebrities in a series of fashionable face-offs.

And no relationship is safe from this competition!

Gossip Girl co-stars Leighton Meester and Blake Lively were pitted against one another earlier in the day... but that's nothing compared to the match-up below!

Sisters Ashley Olsen and Mary-Kate Olsen were spotted on the red carpet, each at her thin, unfashionable best. Compare the siblings below and then vote in our poll:

Who looks better?

Star Magazine, also known as the beacon of celebrity news integrity, has a great story this morning - that Ashley Olsen is contemplating getting some larger breasts and trying to persuade twin sister Mary-Kate to get them as well.

“Ashley is considering getting her boobs done - she wants to be more voluptuous," reports a supposed insider. "And she told Mary-Kate that she wanted her to get one at the same time so that it wouldn’t be glaringly obvious."

The article continues: "That way, they could say that they had just both matured and were filling out naturally.” Mmm hmm. Just like Audrina Patridge.

Mary-Kate Olsen, according to the report, is not a fan - she is “horrified” by the idea and “hates being told what to do and how to look by Ashley.”

NOTE TO THE OLSEN TWINS: If looking "voluptuous" is really the goal, you might start with a little nourishment. Seriously. Try the bacon cheeseburger the next time you're out. Not only will it "fill you out," but it will piss off PETA.

Supposed celebrity fashion icon Ashley Olsen (wearing Calvin Klein) attends the 25th annual Night of Stars hosted by Fashion Group International, held at New York City’s Cipriani Wall Street on Thursday. Amazingly, she looked pretty healthy!

Just kidding. What we're focused on here is her fashion sense. Do you like her look below? Tell The Hollywood Gossip how you feel in our survey ...

What do you think of Ashley Olsen's fashion?

They really do. And we're not talking about eating disorders, drug problems, the worst fashion sense on Earth, or tangential connections to the death of a prominent actor earlier this year. We mean it in the literal sense!

Check out this Olsen Twins photo and see:

No word on whether Mary-Kate and Ashley were returning from a three-week African safari, or a trip to the grocery store. Or whether the bodyguards have the other two-thirds of their stuff. Or why they're wearing sunglasses inside.

We could go on. Instead, we invite you to check out the Shannon Twins instead. We think you'll find them slightly more stimulating than these trolls.

... you know. Oh please. Cut the crap. Do not even act like you don't know what we're talking about or you're above it. We both know you'd go there.

The only question is:

Who would you rather ...

Yesterday's celebrity birthday was followed by an engagement, as supermodel Adriana Lima was proposed to by fair-to-poor NBA player Marko Jaric!

We don't suspect today's birthday girls - The Olsen Twins! - to get engaged to any sports stars in the next 24 hours, although they have dated some.

Anyway. Happy birthday to the former child stars and current train wrecks, who are 22 today. Do us a favor and eat something for a change!

Here's a little gallery of Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen pictures our staff put together in celebration of their special day. Click to enlarge them!

Who's coming up next? When does your favorite star celebrate another year of not dying? Peep our calendar of celebrity birthdays now and see.

She gets around like a record and resembles a troll (with bad fashion sense), but peeps still wanna date Ashley Olsen for whatever reason.

According to the New York Post, friends of Ashley are a bit concerned over her newest rumored beau - National Treasure actor Justin Bartha.

No sooner did Ashley Olsen have a romantic dinner with him at Patsy's in New York's Midtown, than stories of his strange behavior emerged.

"He's a little bit psycho-y," said one source who knows Bartha.

"He's a really cute, nice guy, but he was always jumping out of the shot when Lydia Hearst [Bartha's former girlfriend, who went on to date Cisco Adler of all people] was being photographed... It's a little strange that he would go after a girl [Ashley Olsen] who is always having her photo taken."

Is Ashley Olsen in over her head with Justin Bartha?

After Hearst ended her relationship with Bartha, "he didn't take it well" and even went so far as to "scream at her and call her a bitch."

Here's a celebrity fashion showdown where picking the winner may be a bigger challenge than getting one of the celebrities involved to eat dinner.

A fresh-faced Ashley Olsen sported a sleek Calvin Klein jumpsuit to some fashion designer's show back in 2006, while her twin, Mary-Kate Olsen, wore satin shorts this week to an after party for the new Kate Bosworth movie, 21.

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen: Always the pinnacle of celebrity fashion.

You tell us, which of the Olsen Twins wore the outfit better ... you can also select "neither" or "I prefer Olsen Twins nude" as options and we will accept them.

You'd think that a man who, despite being born in the Paleozoic Era, gets ridden by a naked Holly Madison on a frequent basis would have standards.

Not the case, at least in regards to his famous magazine. Hugh Hefner reportedly wants naked Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen to pose for Playboy.

The 81-year-old men's magazine mogul - who originally asked the twins to model for him when they turned 18 three years ago - but was turned down - hopes the girls will accept his invitation to appear in a June issue.

The Olsen Twins turn 22 on June 13.

A source said: "Hugh Hefner thinks the twins are every young man's fantasy. But it may not be that easy getting them agree to pose for Playboy. They're all about high-end fashion these days. They want to do Vogue."

NOTE TO HUGH: The Olsen Twins are moderately cute on their best days, sort of resemble trolls and dress like grandmothers. Hayden Panettiere, though ...

NOTE TO FANS: Speaking of the Olsens, don't forget to play this week's new edition of our Caption Contest, featuring the gruesome twosome!

Hef also wants Lindsay Lohan to appear in Playboy and recreate the Marilyn Monroe naked swim from her movie Something's Got to Give.

A new New York Magazine shoot featuring Lindsay Lohan nude paid homage to the sexual icon Monroe. The racy shoot proved so popular that the magazine's website crashed under the massive volume of hits.

NOTE: We had a similar problem with that Vanessa Hudgens naked fiasco.

"Now we hear Lindsay is tempted to continue her nude homage to MM," Liz Smith wrote in the New York Post earlier this week.

"Playboy's Hugh Hefner has offered the young star the chance to re-create Marilyn's nude swim from the unfinished film Something's Got To Give."

We can only hope, fans of Lindsay Lohan naked. We can only hope.
