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.

I’m not feelin’ the flannel, but the shoes are cute.

Glad to see Mary-Kate Olsen out & about after being hospitalized with a kidney infection last week. Happy recovery! Recently, MK was on the cover of NYLON- beautiful. Here are a few excerpts:

*On people’s perception of her: I wear weird things sometimes. I like to drink coffee. Neither of these things have anything to do with who I am. I am a bit kooky, I am a bit wacky, and that’s how my friends know me: It’s a happy craziness and they connect with that person and respect me for it.

*On her relationship with Ashley: We’re very close, we’re extremely close…We deal with so many things every day and we’re really the only two people who understand how it feels. I’m lucky to be able to go through these emotions with her — to share it and to know that I’m not alone…Yeah, I mean, my sister and I are so different. I think that’s why we work so well together — it’s the Ying and the Yang. When she’s up, I’m down and when I’m down, she’s up. We’re always sort of balancing each other out and encouraging each other…It’s like talking about friends. You’re different than your best friend; you’re two completely different people. Although we’re twins it really has nothing to do with how different we are.

Mary-Kate Olsen has been hospitalized with a kidney infection, her rep tells PEOPLE.

The actress entered the emergency room of a New York hospital on Monday.

“Mary Kate got a kidney infection,” says rep Nicole Caruso. “She’s resting comfortably and will be released in the next day or so.”

The actress, who turned 21 in June, recently said she was in good health.

“Mentally, physically, I feel pretty on top of my game right now,” she told EW.com in September, as she prepared for her debut in Showtime’s Weeds. “Talk to me next week, I don’t know. Today, I feel good.”

Mary Kate Olsen has been dating hockey player Sean Avery but it seems that Mary Kate isn’t the only girl Sean Avery is dating. The New York Post reports:

“Spies said New York Ranger Sean Avery, who was introduced to Mary Kate by a mutual pal, Bungalow 8 owner Amy Sacco, has a straying eye and, behind Mary-Kate’s back, has been seeing his ex- flame, Lake Bell, as well. Avery is not known for his gentlemanly ways; after his split from Elisha Cuthbert, he went around telling everyone he dumped the actress, not the other way around. ”

No word on whether Mary Kate has heard about this and what she plans on doing.
He sounds nice.

MARY-Kate Olsen was spotted last week locking lips and legs with a “scruffy” guy at a dinner at Club Le Baron in Paris for Greenhouse, the first-ever green nightclub made from recycled materials that’s set to open here on Tenth Avenue in December. The tall fellow pushed the pint-sized twin up against the wall and furiously made out with her to applause from the crowd. Olsen and her man even got a standing ovation from her table when she wrapped her legs around the guy.
