Earlier today Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen appeared at a Barnes & Noble book signing, only to be met by PETA's Trollsen Twins, a two-some against the Olsens' use of fur in their wardrobe.

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.

Yesterday, over a hundred people - made up of "fans, reporters and photographers" - waited outside the Frank E. Campbell funeral home, where the body of actor Heath Ledger had been kept since ME's autopsy. Ledger had been found dead in a SoHo apartment by his masseuse and housekeeper on Tuesday afternoon. The cause of death is inconclusive, but he had a number of prescription drugs in the apartment, many of them to aid sleeping (he had been described as looking tired recently and even told interviewers he had trouble sleeping after filming The Dark Knight).

Mary Kate, we hardly knew you! Okay, so we knew you liked to dress like Mrs. Roper if she lived in Berkeley with $150 million start the trend of bohemian chic and drink coffee and party around town and not move into your deluxe apartment. But when we went to People.com to see if there were any new pictures of Brad and Angelina, we read this troubling, if not entirely unsurprising, news. We know you have lots of responsibilities, not just working at Dualstar but finding a new boyfriend. We wish you well and hope that you and your friend Nicole Richie will finally eat something.
