She’s worth nearly a billion dollars, but Ashley Olsen would rather temporarily crash with a friend than stay at any of the top hotels she could certainly afford.

Ashley plunked down $1.6 million for a home in the Hancock Park section of Los Angeles, and while the place is being completely remodeled, she’s sleeping on a pullout sofa bed at her longtime stylist’s house.

According to an insider, Ashley, 21, moved in with Estee Stanley in February until the work on her home is completed. “Ashley is redoing the whole place, so it’s taking time,” her pal reveals. “She’s spending nearly $1 million on the renovations.” Estee has also worked with Demi Moore, Jessica Biel and Penelope Cruz.

Playboy boss Hugh Hefner is hoping to convince the Olsen twins to celebrate their 22nd birthday in June by stripping off in the magazine. The media mogul has attempted to woo Mary-Kate and Ashley to disrobe in Playboy since they turned 18 - and he’s now launched a renewed bid to tempt them out of their clothes for a special celebratory photo shoot.

A source tells American magazine Star, “Hef thinks the twins are every young man’s fantasy.” But insiders insist the Olsens are holding out for a more classy magazine deal, telling Star, “They’re all about high-end fashion these days. They want to do Vogue.”

In a new ad campaign to be unveiled today at the Olsens’ Walk of Fame star on Hollywood Boulevard, PETA blasts the 21-year-old star sibs — whom they dub the “Trollsen Twins — for wearing fur and including it in their collections Elizabeth and James and The Row.”Thin-twins Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen are about to get some publicity that will have them running away faster than if they’d spotted a calorie,” the group said in a snarky statement today.

The new ad features the twins under the headline “Fur Is Worn by Beautiful Animals and Ugly People.”

To coincide with the ad, PETA has also launched a new web site devoted to “Hairy-Kate” and “Trashley.”

It features, among other things, a mash-up video called “Full House of Horrors,” in which footage from the twins’ former hit TV show is interspersed with – you guessed it – scenes of animals being killed for fur.

“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,” PETA’s Assistant Director of Youth Campaigns Dan Shannon said in a statement.

After defeating cancer and winning the Tour de France seven years in a row, Lance Armstrong is tackling a new challenge: a fifteen-year age gap between him and new fling Ashley Olsen.

The new couple was spotted at New York hotspot Rose Bar on October 29 by an eyewitness who tells Us Weekly, “they were being very flirtatious.” The next night, the May-December duo took in Broadway play Young Frankenstein before dinner and wine at the Waverly Inn.

And while Armstrong prepped to run last Sunday’s New York City Marathon, the lovebirds shacked up at luxe hotel Soho House, where they both had booked rooms.

Sources tell Us, however, that Olsen shouldn’t let herself get swept away by the whirlwind Big Apple romance. “Lance is a candidate for a midlife crisis,” says a source close to the divorced father of three.

Indeed, Armstrong might already be in his midlife crisis: he recently split from fashion designer Tory Burch and broke off his engagement with Sheryl Crow in 2006. “Next week, he’ll be on to someone else,” another insider says.
