Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen celebrate a milestone today, the twins turn 25 years old.
On the romance front, Kanye West has sparked dating rumors with fashion mogul Mary Kate while others celebrity gossips have hinted that Justin Timberlake and fellow fashion mogul Ashley are heating up.
The twins deliberately distance themselves from celebrity brands, on the business front.
Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen rose to fame as young children appearing in TV and film stars, have not used their faces or names to promote their fashion brand, The Row as they don't want it to be labelled a celebrity clothing line.
Mary Kate said, We were aware of the growing trend of celebrity brands. We were trying to get away from that because we'd already done it with Wal-Mart, and we did it well. We'd been there, we'd done that.
Ashley was also adamant about moving the focus away from her and her sister with The Row, so that the focus would solely be on the work they produce.
She added, I was looking at it as I'm switching careers. I'm no longer going by my face. Who knows what I'll do in the future, if I act again or if I don't? My point at the moment was, I'm literally disappearing.
I'm not going to be in front of the camera. I want to do something created with my hands and with my thoughts. It wasn't about being a face. It was about being able to create something.
Mary Kate has not ruled out ever returning to acting however, saying. Right now we don't have the time. I was thinking about this recently. We don't use that form of expression anymore. But it's still ingrained in us.
The rapper Fat Joe, who’s nickname was representative of his 6-foot-2, 350 lb frame, has recently shed 88 pounds, and apparently without the aid of any weight loss supplement or fad diet.
Fat Joe decided to get serious about weight loss after losing seven friends, all in their 30′s, to heart attacks last year.
I always loved being fat, obviously. I’m Fat Joe. The biggest killer of people is food. It kills more people than AIDS or gun violence or war, anything you can name. Everybody keep catching strokes and heart attacks, and what happened to me was, like seven of my friends passed last year from heart attacks, and they were all 32, 34 years old, 35. What’s the difference between me and them? Health doesn’t discriminate just because I’m famous.
Reportedly Fat Joe, whose real name is Joseph Antonio Cartagena, lost the weight by combining 2 hour cardio and weight lifting sessions with proper eating habits. Instead of BK, KFC, and McD’s, Fat Joe opted for smaller portioned meals of fruit, veggies, and lean meats.
The first peek at the rapper’s new frame came on Tuesday when his new music video, 'Drop a Body', went live on Worldstarhiphop.com. In the video, Joe looks a shadow of his former self and is hardly recognizable as he raps to the camera.
The obvious question is will this slim new artist keep his old nick name?
Fat Joe said, they’re all trying to alter my name, but I can’t see myself as anything else, referring to friends who started calling him 'Skinny Joe' and 'Joey Flaco', Spanish for thin. I think I gotta ask Diddy what my new name is.

Briton Mark Wilkinson's second-hand boat, which he rechristened as the Titanic II, behaved on its maiden voyage exactly as one might expect from a vessel with that name.
Mark Wilkinson towed the 16-foot cabin cruiser, which he had just purchased for about $1,600, from his home in Birmingham, England, and set out on a fishing trip from West Bay harbor in Dorset on Saturday morning.
On his way back, as the Titanic II made its way into the harbor and well, you can pretty much see this one coming.
According to the Dorset Echo, the coast guard officers and the harbormaster spotted Wilkinson un-ironically clinging to the bow of his rapidly sinking metaphor for hubris. They helped moor the ship, and Mark Wilkinson climbed out of the water unhurt.
The harbormaster speculated that the breach in the Titanic II's fiberglass hull was caused when an old repair job came apart.
Mark Wilkinson told the Sun newspaper, It's all a bit embarrassing, I'm fed up with people asking me if I hit an iceberg.
When talk on 'The View' turned to the dearth of Republican candidates, Elisabeth Hasselbeck all but threw Sarah Palin under Palin's own bus.
Elisabeth Hasselbeck said, here's why we're not hearing it: because right now Sarah Palin's on a bus, and she's manipulating 'things' in terms of the media. When Barbara Walters remarked on the lack of momentum around Mitt Romney's candidacy.
Hasselbeck also employed an odd metaphor that compared Romney to a termite specialist.
In any case, Elisabeth Hasselbeck's visible annoyance at Sarah Palin's overshadowing tactics is a far cry from the sisterly rah-rah support she gave Palin at a giant Tampa rally during the 2008 election.
