Mary Kate And Ashley Olsen Branded 'Fur Hags From Hell'

Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen have once again come under fire from PETA anti-fur protesters.

The twins - who have been nicknamed 'Hairy Kate' and 'Trashley Olsen' - turned up for a signing of their new book Influence at Barnes & Noble in New York to be greeted by a herd of campaigners wearing Trollsen Twins masks and carrying signs calling them 'fur hags.'

Angry protesters have targeted the diminutive duo because of their fur-packed wardrobes and clothing line.

"PETA has launched an online campaign, our Trollsen Twins Campaign, to raise awareness about how animals are treated on fur farms," says Ashley Byrne, PETA's campaign coordinator.

The ugly Trollsen Twins paper masks have proved so popular they have sold out online.

However Byrne says the masks are not intended to call Mary Kate and Ashley ugly - only their actions.

"It's that we think wearing fur is really an ugly choice inside and outside," she explains.

Olsen Twins Asked To Pose For Playboy Again?

Playboy mogul Hugh Hefner renewed his proposal to Ashley and Mary-Kate Olsen to pose for his magazine, after he was turned down three years ago when the twins were barely legal, Star magazine reported.

The 81-year-old ladies' man approached the twins three years ago, and got rejected. Now he reportedly asked them to bare it all for the June issue of his mag.
"Hef thinks the twins are every young man's fantasy," a source was quoted by Star magazine as saying.

But according to insiders, 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."

Moreover, things between the two sisters aren't going so well, and Ashley is jealous because Mary-Kate is getting all the acting roles.

In the meantime, the twins announced the release of a coffee-table book called "Influence," which will include "exclusive photographs of Ashley and Mary-Kate from world renowned photographer Rankin, and a wide variety of other never-before seen materials and interviews from Mary-Kate and Ashley’s personal collection."

The book will also feature the names of business and fashion worlds that influenced the twins' lives, such as French shoe designer Christian Louboutin, Lauren Hutton and fashion designer Bob Colacello. According to Ashley Olsen, the book will contain "the most interesting, challenging, creative people we know-the ones who helped pave the way for us and our generation."
