As Bad as You Imagined...


The Olsen Twins are making no friends in the West Village where they've recently begun renting two floors of a brownstone. Residents say the mutant moguls have essentially taken over an entire block of West 13th street with their "military style" operation, which includes bullying bodyguards and a fleet of GMC Denalis that they leave idling at the curb in the wee hours while they run inside "in their little club outfits" to fix their make-up or snort blow or whatever. "It is a peaceful, quiet street," one angry person said. "Plenty of other celebrities around this block [Sarah Jessica Parker, Liv Tyler, Gisele Bundchen and Julianne Moore] are good neighbors and blend in with the neighborhood - but these two are invaders." One incident reportedly had the sisters' bodyguards ordering people to leave a stoop so they could enter their building without being bothered by peasants. "If there were significant issues, you would think that the neighbors would address Ashley or Mary-Kate directly, rather than calling the media," a rep said of the accusations. Yeah - unless neither Ashley nor Mary-Kate will allow mere mortals to address them.
