"Tired" Mary-Kate Olsen Pushes Letterman's Buttons
Flannel-loving starlet Mary-Kate Olsen was in no condition to be on David Letterman's Late Show last night. Her excuse for her disjointed, unenthusiastic interview? She was "so tired" after her long trip (on an airplane, of course, not via any illegal drugs or booze or whatnot). Letterman could hardly have sounded less impressed with this, and twice referred back to how sorry he was about Olsen being "tired," by which he meant that she never should have plopped down on his damned couch if she was exhausted. Having been in show business since she was six-months old, MKO should have realized she was breaking the implicit talk-show contract: free publicity in exchange for a little coherent dish. If you're tired, buy a venti half-and-half latte to pull yourself together, or relinquish your camera time. At least Olsen shared some bitchy history on Spencer Pratt from The Hills. Clip of that and her tired-ness after the jump. More »

Mary-Kate Olsen Party Candids
Once again, some noble crusader has invaded Photobucket and dug up some scurrilous photos of young celebrities at play. In today's batch, one of the Olsen twins (we suspect Mary-Kate) is partying with some friends, most of whom are dressed in flannel, including famous rich person's daughter Nicole Richie and her man friend, rocker Joel Madden. The kids are pictured in some sort of wood-paneled mansion, playing with a piñata and smoking cigarettes. It's unclear when these were taken or whose birthday (it's a birthday, right?) they were celebrating, but Nicole Richie seems to be making a point of showing that she's not drinking in one of the photos. So perhaps it was while she was pregnant. Do your own sleuthing around the big brown mansion in a photo gallery, after the jump. More »

- Mary-Kate Olsen tried to get into an SUV but did a Lindsay Lohan-style drunk fall instead. There's video. [LA Rag Mag]

Heath Ledger and Mary-Kate Olsen: Separated at Birth
Look closely at the late Heath Ledger and the... uh... early? Mary-Kate Olsen (who was mysteriously involved in the speculation following the actor's death) and note their similar bone structure, the way their cheeks dip in, and the general hay-like appearance of their hair. (We realize that the sunglasses are obviously not the same pair.) Is there some sort of astral projection here? Has the spirit of Heath been imbued in this, our unsexiest Olsen? I mean, the connection would make sense. After all, she's already played a grumbling cowboy before. [Via eden]

Jenna Bush Will Have 14 Bridesmaids Saturday
- Jenna Bush will get married this weekend at a ranch in Texas. Oscar de la Renta supplied the gown the presidential daughter will eventually be puking on. (UPDATE: AP may be wrong on bridesmaid count, see first comment.) [AP]
- Singer and Perez Hilton macker John Mayer is — surprise! — acting kind of scuzzy toward actress/hookup Jennifer Aniston. Mayer "was all over some [other] blond girl" at a club in New York recently. [P6]
- Mary-Kate Olsen was left off the Maxim "Hot 100" list, and twin sister Ashley was left on, at number 47. Wait, which one is supposed to feel dissed by this? Ashley, right? [P6]
- Prince is releasing a coffee table book called 21 Nights with photos of his concerts in London last year. And then there will be a "compilation album" in there too, since publishing in just one dying medium is not enough. [E!]
- So now singer Mariah Carey is not just engaged but married to actor Nick Cannon. "Her friends were, to put it mildly, stunned, but happy for her." [P6]

summer movie preview
Will The Wackness Be, Um, Wack?
Have you seen the trailer for that movie The Wackness? It has a supremely bizarre cast that includes Josh Peck (from the screechy, unbelievably unwatchable Nickelodeon show Drake & Josh), Ben Kingsley, and Mary-Kate Olsen (who, er, makes out with Sir Ben in the film). It's set in New York City during the heady old timey days of 1994, and follows a mumbly youngster (Peck) who deals drugs the summer before he waddles off to college. Besides the complete peculiarity of a 90's nostalgia movie existing at all, it looks like it could be fun if only for Kingsley's bizarre accent and the Olsen factor. It could also be really, really fucking annoying in that "precocious teen actors who think they're being really cool because they talk about drugs and act coy in a little indie movie" kind of way. Trailer (with a good song) after the jump. More »

Amy Winehouse's Father About As Awful As Expected
- Amy Winehouse's dad is trying to steal credit for some of his daughter's problems, but not the drug thing. Just the other ones. He was cheating on Winehouse's mom basically since the singer was born, then moved in with his mistress when she was 10, then married the mistress. Now Amy Winehouse makes songs like "What It Is About Men." [Us]
- Unrelated, according to Amy Winehouse's dad: Winehouse called in sick — aka "drugged" — to a concert for the record company execs who cut her checks. [Showbiz Spy]
- Mary-Kate Olsen was spotted at the Waverly Inn with Chace Crawford from Gossip Girl. So totally looks like a date. An awkward date. [Faded Youth]
- It is for some reason taking Britney Spears for-EV-er to shoot her How I Met Your Mother TV cameo at Fox Studios. The singer continues to be allowed to visit her kids. [X17]
- P. Diddy would like to help you get home safely, since you are drunk. Assuming you are on the "A-list" or, more accurately, the "famous and cool enough this week to not die in a drunk driving accident" list. Also, the music producer really wants to protect his $100 million Chiroc vodka endorsement deal. [Showbiz Spy]
- If you trick Eddie Murphy into fathering your child, don't expect the comedian to be all "involved" in the child's life. [Page Six]
- Actor Sean Penn kissed another man on camera, long and hard. [OK]
- Tonight Show host Jay Leno pretended he didn't already know actress Minnie Driver is pregnant. No word on the identity of the father.
- Ryan Phillippe and his son looking cute together, or something. [P6]
- Girls Gone Wild creator Joe Francis convinced two dozen reporters to come listen to him talk about how he was a "rock star" in jail and received a "great deal of inmate attention."
- The Sun is running "First photo of ailing [Patrick] Swayze." Happy Friday. [Sun]
- Michael Jackson of course will not lose his sad, empty Neverland Ranch, because the singer made a deal with his creditors, to whom he owes $25 million. As you already know, this was fated to happen.
- Probable former gay stripper David Hernandez said getting booted off American Idol is just the first step to making an album with singer Alicia Keys and producer David Foster. [EW]

Old, Old Man Would Like To See Little Girls Naked
Though now ancient and doddering, Hugh Hefner is still the same old lovable lech he always was. The Playboy founder would like, in addition to Lindsay Lohan, the Jim Henson-fashioned Olsen twins (still acting Mary-Kate, who the fuck knows Ashley) to do a nude pictorial for the magazine because, according to an anonymous source, "Hugh thinks the twins are every young man's fantasy." Wait, really? I thought we'd moved on from that bizarre period of 18th birthday countdowns (Hef had originally courted the pair around then) and furtive, shameful New York Minute viewings. It seems that Hef may be a bit out of touch on this one. Am I wrong? [Showbiz Spy] After the jump, video documentation of the two sexpots Hef so pruriently craves. More »

Amy Winehouse Turned Into A "Zombie" On Day 10 Of Sobriety
- Amy Winehouse may have lasted up to nine days clean of drugs before she called herself a "zombie," burned herself and did "cocaine, ecstasy, cannabis and booze." Of course the sensationalist Sun spins it negative and says she's "back in drug hell," typical. (Check out the sidebar from their "Bizarre Editor.") [Sun]
- The Olsen twins have a deal for a book, but it's the kind of book you pose for, and then people with a sense of irony buy it for their coffee table. It is decidedly not the kind of book where you have to type the hard words. [AP]
- Britney Spears made outrageous demands at an LA clothing boutique, but then the only thing she would buy was "the yellow wig on a mannequin in the window... the manager eventually agreed to offer it to her for $100." This is, of course, one of the most awesome things Spears has done for, oh, maybe six months. [Gatecrasher]
- TMZ tried to tell the world the LA police were investigating Sam Lutfi for drugging Britney Spears, but every media outlet ever said they were wrong and printed an LAPD statement to that effect. Well guess who now has a piece of paper saying the LA police really are looking at the Lutfi drugging charge?
- Jon Eardley wants control of Britney's money and life, but he can't even convince a judge he's even her attorney in the first place. He vows to keep fighting this "oppressive and unjust" situation. [Reuters]
- Orlando Bloom doesn't bathe. Also he doesn't wash his clothes, but maybe he just has those French jeans you're not supposed to wash, ever.
- Ashlee Simpson and her boyfriend made up a story about being pregnant to somehow stop internet music piracy, and you and I are the dumb ones for not getting the joke. [TMZ]
- Angelina Jolie should start selling subscriptions just to her St. John ads because apparently everyone finds them very pretty and is posting them to their blogs. [Faded Youth]

Mary-Kate Olsen Gives Scarf Bad Reputation
Branding experts know that getting the right celebrity to wear a client's clothes at the right time can be worth millions in free publicity. Emphasis on the right celebrity and the right time. An example of the wrong celebrity at the wrong time would be Mary-Kate Olsen, and right now. More »
