The Olsen Twins

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen turn 26 years old today ... which will totally make anyone who remembers them on Full House for freaking ever ago feel old.

Following their acting debut as infants, the twins appeared together in a variety of TV, film and video projects throughout their child and teenage years.

Through their company Dualstar, the Olsens branched out into fashion and have become some of the wealthiest women in the entertainment industry.

You gotta respect Mary-Kate and Ashley for becoming such moguls, if nothing else. The birthday girls work hard. Because we gotta ask ...

At the CFDA (Council of Fashion Designers of America) Awards Monday night, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen won the 2012 Womenswear Designers of the Year award.

For their work on their own line, the Row, obviously.

Johnny Depp was also lauded for his personal style, though just one night after rocking with The Black Keys at the MTV Movie Awards, Depp opted to sit this one out.

The 48-year-old Dark Shadows star wasn't present to accept his Fashion Icon award, so his friend and Cry-Baby director John Waters accepted on his behalf.

The night belonged to the Olsens, although Olivier Sarkozy, who is reportedly cozying up to Mary-Kate of late, was not on hand to support his girl. Oh well.

Here's a look at some of the big fashion winners from the event:

Womenswear Designer of the Year: Ashley Olsen and Mary-Kate Olsen of The Row

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.

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.

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 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.

Welcome back, celeb gossip and Hollywood news readers across the globe, to The Hollywood Gossip Caption Contest, a Friday tradition and fan-favorite.

Who won this version of the contest, featuring the fashion-impaired, increasingly troll-like Olsen Twins? It was a tough call, but we chose Stephanie!

The winning entry appears beneath the photo. Scroll down the page for the full list of replies, and good luck again in this week's all-new Caption Contest!

Mary-Kate: "Help Ashley my hand is stuck in this position from holding a Starbucks cup for so long."
Ashley: "Thats okay, your hand is the least of your worries."

We know Sam Lutfi is frickin' creepy.

We've been covering that fact like it's our job.

Which it is. We are in the celebrity news business.

We have a point, we swear. Osama isn't the only twisted fool making gossip headlines this week - Star Magazine has profiled the messed up Olsen Twins!

Apparently, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen are seriously weird! Who would have guessed? Oh, right. Everybody. For the last four or five years.

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen: Some twisted trolls.

Anyway, the new issue of Star digs deep into the weird ass world of the rich twins. One of their bodyguards evidently spoke out on the sisters and dished some pretty good gossip. Hookups! Bad breath! Dirty hair! Sibling rivalry! OMFG!

Hopefully it examines Mary-Kate Olsen's connection to Heath Ledger, and includes juicy accounts of Ashley and Lance Armstrong tanging it a few months ago.

With Mike Vick and his cohorts safely behind bars, PETA is going after the evil Olsen Twins, dedicating an entire website and MySpace to that effort.

Fittingly, they have dubbed the anorexic former child stars "The Trollsens" and individually named them Hairy Kate and Trashley Trollsen.

The animal rights group is targeting the traveling freak show petite actresses for wearing fur and also including it in their individual fashion collections.

A PETA statement reads: "No one would argue that Mary-Kate and Ashley could use some meat on their bones, but the last thing they need is hair on their backs."

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, you just got served. And we're sure as hell not talkin' about a plate of food. Couple of frail, anorexic waifs, these two.

Indeed, the truth hurts. The Trollsens MySpace reads:

"Hi, we're Hairy Kate and Trashley Trollsen. Like most trolls, we live under a bridge and wait for furry animals to walk by so we can skin them and wear them as hats. Because we're celebrities, we don't have to live by the same rules that ugly people like you do, and if we want to wrap ourselves up in someone else's skin, or drape our bodies in the rotting remains of someone's family, we totally can! And do we ever!"

Of course, these words may fall upon deaf ears. Living in their little troll bubble and only emerging occasionally for naked trysts with Lance Armstrong or Sean Avery, the Olsen twins likely don't give a rat's behind about this. Just saying.
