Olsen Twins Unwanted on West 13th St

Sure, Michelle Tanner was adorable, but now all grown up and split into the real-life duo of Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, residents of one West Village block are calling the twins "intruders." The NY Post reports that West 13th St has all but turned into a military zone, with Olsen security guards posted outside their door at all hours and two GMC Denali trucks sitting in front of their $12K/month brownstone rental. One neighbor says, "They are disruptive, intrusive and totally disrespectful," and that the "two spoiled brats" are in-and-out day and night, sometimes even making residents of the same brownstone vacate the stoop so they can enter the building in privacy! Other A-list residents in the neighborhood include Liv Tyler, Sarah Jessica Parker and Gisele Bundchen...all of whom are a-okay with the non-famous locals.

The Olsen sisters are not as large as normal people.

^ They all share cribs.

How big is this brownstone that that they have room for themselves and multiple other tenants? I thought brownstones are usually like 5-6 bedrooms.

Snoopy

I believe they are getting back at the village because they bought into 1 Morton Square.

Why do you have to drag Bob Saget into this? He has talent, and never asked me to get off my stoop.

It would take a lot more than goons to move me off of my own stoop for some little jackasses who want to play famous. I thought celebs moved to New York so that they could just be normal people (rather than living in LA)?

Well, normal New Yorkers try to be inconspicuous. Now, admittedly, few New Yorkers have ever accidentally killed Heath Ledger, so there's also that -- but still, if you're going to act like an alien while you're here, why not just go back to L.A. with the rest of your species?

Anyone who has watched Full House in the 90's shares the blame for both Bob Saget and the Olsen Twins and should be ashamed of themselves.

I redeemed myself through church confessionals and public apologies on several occasions. The rest of you should do the same.

I think Uncle Jesse or Joey should give them a good talk and/or spanking.

Dirk

I have to blame someone.

piknyc

Oops, my bad for making them so big. I just had to have "How the West was Fun".

They made a gazillion dollars off their insipid straight-to-DVD movie. So we should blame Generation Y for buying their crap.

Spirit of 76

It's ridiculous that they ever got so successful to begin with. They were never good actresses.

Dirk

They should move to LA.

Kojak

They look sorta cute in that gothamist pic, but in a Martian kinda way. The Oslens & Tila Tequila are probably from the same species of proto-human.

From the Post article:

A rep for the Olsens... told Page Six, "If there were significant issues, you would think that the neighbors would address Ashley or Mary-Kate directly, rather than calling the media."

OK... but if this is all true, the neighbors would never be able to get close enough to them to be able to "address them directly."

They should get on their brooms and fly back to Hell-Ay where this behavior is tolerated by celeb sycophants.

Call 311 on their skinny asses. Report idling trucks and loitering goons. Get the complaint number and share it with the neighbors who also call 311 and refer to the same complaint number. Worked for me.

"making residents of the same brownstone vacate the stoop so they can enter the building in privacy"

huh? they couldn't make me move off my own front stoop, they would have to sue me first
