i'm always thrilled about random Olsen references, and there's really nothing better than an an Ashley Olsen reference on the Colbert Report. basically, today was part three of stephen's attempt to hang his portrait in Washington -- he was trying to get it hung in the smithsonian for the last few consecutive shows (unsuccessfully), but he finally got some guy to let him put it up in this portrait museum in washington.

so he's giving this museum curator a really hard time as he's being given a tour (if you've ever seen the show, he gives EVERYONE a really hard time). the first portrait the curator shows stephen colbert is this massive painting of Lance Armstrong's face. colbert then pretends he doesn't know who armstrong is and the curator tries to enlighten him based on his accomplishments. instead colbert goes ... something along the lines of, "ohhh lance armstrong! that's the guy dating ashley olsen."

it was great.

At Sundance: Sex and drugs and rock 'n' roll
By Anthony Breznican, USA TODAY
Sundance showcases more than 125 movies. USA TODAY has found 10 that stand out.

The Wackness
Whom it's for: Children of the '90s, unethical psychiatrists.
The story: Set in 1994 amid the hip-hop immersion of high-school kids everywhere, Josh Peck (Nickelodeon's Drake & Josh) stars as a marijuana dealer who trades weed for therapy with his psychiatrist, Dr. Squires (Ben Kingsley), before falling for the doctor's stepdaughter (Juno best friend Olivia Thirlby). "She is kind of a learning experience for him," says Thirlby. "He's really, really into her, and she's kind of not taking him quite as seriously. He learns the hard way that just because you're physically intimate doesn't mean you're going to be in love." Plus, she is weirded out by the boy's business deal with her stepdad. "She's endeared to Dr. Squires, but ultimately thinks he's kind of a joke," Thirlby says.
Of note: Mary-Kate Olsen and Method Man in cameo roles.

Today's Women's Wear Daily features an impressively-long article about Celebutantes, the story of "26-year-old Lola Santisi, daughter of an Oscar-winning director and a former model, who's working as a brand ambassador for an up-and-coming designer vying to dress a celebrity for the Oscars." Written by Daughters-of-Hollywood Amanda Goldberg and Ruthanna Hopper and based, no doubt, on the lives of the ladies they know and lunch with, the book is being sold as the ultimate insider's guide to Tinseltown's foibles (Hopper is daughter to Dennis; Goldberg is daughter to Charlie's Angels producer Leonard). The two are also featured prominently in a 3-page "Personal Style" spread in the new issue of Harper's Bazaar, in which they recommend $2,200 Hayward Dowel purses and $3,795 Missoni dresses (ugh).

Listen, I'm not hating on these women for using their considerable connections to accomplish their creative goals, but why is it that of all the "chick lit" books that hit the shelves every month, those written by or about socialites and urging conspicuous consumption the only ones that get any press?

Earlier this year, NYC society doyenne Holly Peterson, daughter of the chairman of the Blackstone group wrote an aggressively mediocre book called The Manny, made a YouTube video with her rich friends to accompany it, all followed by mentions in the New York Times Sunday Styles, and the New Yorker.

What's curious also is that in the Bazaar profile, Goldberg and Harper choose a Jenni Kayne dress as one of their fashion picks. Kayne, a rising designer, was the subject of the Bazaar "Personal Style" feature just two months ago. She is also the daughter of the wealthy LA elite, and counts Rachel Zoe and the Olsen twins as members of her inner circle. Kayne told the L.A. Times last year, "My dad happens to be really good at what he does, and he has been successful (her father is a high profile investment banker). But my parents are not socialites, and I'm not a socialite. I've found articles online where they compare me to Nikki Hilton. I think she's a really nice girl, but that's not me." Tell it to Tory Burch, sister.

There are so many excellent books written and clothes by women who don't happen to have access to multi-million dollar fortunes, Phillip Lim dresses, or media reporters. Can't book publicists and magazine editors give those women some love, too? Though maybe Ruthanna Hopper deserves all the breaks she can get, because when she was a kid, her batshit papa tried to stab Rip Torn, drank thirty beers and did three grams of coke a day, and subsequently has given large sums of money to the Republican party. It's hard out there for a celebutante!

Marion Cotillard in Nina Ricci Spring 2008. I wish she would have opted for a more daring hairstyle, but otherwise the dress is captivating.
Camilla Belle in Carlos Miele Spring 2008. Overdone and beyond her years. Even Katie Holmes manages to look younger than this.
Ashley Olsen in a Rick Owens jacket at the The Art of Elysium Black Tie Charity Gala. Chic, but perhaps a little too effortless.

Posh not so stylish
Style maven Mr. Blackwell named Victoria "Posh" Beckham the worst-dressed celebrity of 2007. "In one skinny-mini monstrosity after another, pouty Posh can really wreck-em." At No. 2 was singer Amy Winehouse. "Exploding beehives above, tacky polka dots below," Blackwell sniffed. Mary-Kate Olsen was third. "She resembles a tattered toothpick trapped in a hurricane." Mr. Blackwell spared Britney Spears. "I felt that it was inappropriate . . . to make a comment when her personal life is in such upheaval."
