I've been a fan of the Olsen twins since back in the Michelle days, even though my obsession has dwindled to more of a weird observation over the years. These days, I'd be more likely to scan through some bizarre fashion choices the two made instead of tune in to the Tanner family. Of course the twins have recognized this financial goldmine by launching a bio of sorts with Penguin books, Influence.
According to MK and Ashley's official blog:

Trashy mags are a guilty pleasure for me, an indulgence best enjoyed in small doses. I refuse to pay for them, but I'll usually have gone through the entire stack at the gym by the end of the week.
One of my favorite sections has always been the "worst-dressed". I think of the photos as a little pick me up. If you can spend $6,000 on a Zac Posen dress and still be slammed by US Weekly, I feel o.k. for sometimes trying to get by in my college sweatshirt and jeans. At least I don't look like a disco ball like Jessica Simpson (see above).
The originial chief of the fashion police, Richard Blackwell, died today at 86. Mr. Blackwell was the first to compile a "worst-dressed list" nearly 50 years ago, inspiring the Perez's of our generation to thrive off of celebrity flaws.
Some of my favorite divas have benefited from Blackwell's buzz in their "any press is good press" wealth. According to Mr. Blackwell, Lindsay Lohan "went from adorable to deplorable:, Britney Spears wore "a bra-topped collection of Madonna rejects are pure fashion overkill", and Victoria Beckham topped his list as the #1 worst dressed celeb of 2008.

I admit that I don't follow football that closely, but I'm a little confused about the all the hubbub still surrounding Tom Brady. Yesterday I noticed that Boston.com has a photo spread titled “On the town with Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen" that has more photos than most Red Sox albums. That says a lot in this town.
Personally, Brady's status as a cripple knocked him way down in my book. I guess I've been more accepting than most Pats fans. My mentality is out with the old and in with the new.
With that ladies, meet Matt Cassel.
Personally, I was disappointed with the lack of stalkerish gossip following Cassel online. So, for the benefit of Boston Bachelorettes, I decided to do a little investigative research myself. Unfortunately, my google search came up with no trendy restaurant or bar sightings and even the Herald and Metro were slacking on their dishing. The only good scoop that I came across was Cassel singing some lousy karaoke to Backstreet Boys. Hardly scandalous.
My biggest finding/letdown is that Cassel is married to his college sweetheart, Lauren Killian. The two met at USC, where she was a former volleyball star and he sat on the sidelines as QB.
The good news is that the athletic stud gene runs in the family. Matt’s older brother Jack plays for the Houston Astros and his younger brother Justin plays for the Chicago White Sox. Future mother-in-law potential even looks bright…his Mom won an Emmy for her work as a TV set decorator.

Don't you wish that you could be inspired by your favorite designers such as Gucci, Kate Spade, Betsey Johnson, Stella McCartney, Diane Von Furstenberg and Dolce & Gabbana (that's only a few) every time you check your email?
