The Olsen Twins are 21

The twins decided to keep mark their milestone age by sharing a quiet meal with family and friends at Hollywood's Chateau Marmont, where guests included their younger sister Lizzie, 19, and 23-year-old brother Trent.

Mary-Kate and Ashley - who shot to fame aged just nine-months playing Michelle in hit US TV show 'Full House' - were the center of attention as gifts and cards were lavished upon them all night.


At 11pm, two red velvet cakes were brought out - one covered in white icing, the other in black - and the whole table sang 'Happy Birthday' to the girls, who then blew out their 21 candles.

During the meal, each guest took it in turns to raise a glass of champagne to the birthday girls and the sisters happily posed for pictures, which were taken on their vintage Polaroid camera.

An onlooker said: "It looked like a family dinner. You could tell they were all really close. The girls couldn't stop smiling."

Mary-Kate looked on lovingly as the mystery man sitting next to her gave the last speech, before kissing her.

Before their party, the girls had told their fans they planned to make the most of their special day.

They wrote on their website: "Today, for the first time in a looooong time, we're taking a day off - doing absolutely nothing and looking forward to every second of it!"

A-List'ers Ditch Paris’ Party

Paris Hilton didn't invite her best friend Kim Kardashian to her 26th birthday party in Las Vegas because she was afraid Kim's sex tape would distract from her. A source says: "She didn't want Kim on the red carpet stealing her thunder." Unfortunately, even the people who were invited didn't show up as she got stood up by A-list celebrities and even her friends.

Sources say there were no names there except her sister, and at one point Paris announced on a microphone that Nicole Richie was "on her way" but Richie never showed up.

But even without many boldfaces, things at the after-party at the Penthouse Suite got a little odd. After downing TY KU liquor and bottles of Dom Perignon, guests reported seeing Hilton play with a monkey while a band of midgets led a pack of goats around the room.

Boy, she sure makes that Caligula seem like a fucking amateur, doesn’t she?

The Hiltons Hit Vegas

The Hilton sisters are back in Vegas again, and will be there to celebrate Paris’ birthday with ex-flame Stavros Niarchos.

“They are back together again and in full force,” one of their friends divulged.

Meanwhile little sister Nicky will be debuting her new couture fashion line in a premiere showcase.

Paris’ birthday bash will take place on Saturday at Body English in the Hard Rock, and Nicky’s introduction of her new “Nicholai” label is at PURE in Caesars Palace.

In related news, the 25-year-old heiress is picking up a $1-million paycheck for flying to Vienna, Austria yesturday, for a dinner-dance date with an ageing European mogul who shelled out the astronomical fee for Paris to attend the famous Opera Ball.

Ha, I wonder what else he got for that money? Well I guess it's true what they say – money can’t by you taste.

Jennifer Hawkins $4m Birthday Present

Miss Universe Jennifer Hawkins has signed what is believed the most lucrative contract ever for an Australian-based model.

Hawkins secured a $4 million, four-year deal with Myer, including share options to give her a direct equity stake, on her 23rd birthday on December 22.


Celebrating yesterday she said: "We opened a bottle of champagne and I said: 'Don't give me any presents, I don't need them'."

Myer chief executive Bernie Brooks said Hawkins's phenomenal selling power was the driving force behind the company's interest.

"When Jennifer wears a dress to say a racing carnival, we would have no difficulty selling 1000 of those dresses over the ensuing weeks," he said.

He said during the Spring Racing Carnival last year people came into Myer stores every day after Hawkinso wore a particular outfit, looking for that outfit or one in different colours.

"She has significant enterprise value and that includes her ability to sell the product she wears and endorses."

Hawkins said yesterday the shares element of her deal came as a shock.

"It's not something I was familiar with," she said.

"I spoke to my mum and dad and they said 'whoa, it's amazing'.

"Now that I've got equity it makes me want to work even harder to make the company successful," she said.

Under the terms of the contract, the options will turn into shares on fulfillment of any one of three conditions:

- THAT the Myer business is sold;

- THAT Myer refloats on the stock market; or

- THE option expiry term of between three and five years elapses.

The shares will then begin to pay dividends to their owners.

Whichever way it goes, the one-time Newcastle Knights cheerleader looks set to do very well.

In addition to almost $1 million a year in cash and an as yet unspecified number of shares, she's also on course for a bonus at the end of the contract.

"At the end of the four-year period, if specific levels of sales have been achieved she can earn a cash bonus as well," Mr Brooks said.

A Myer source said the company was planning to relist on the stock exchange through an initial public offering of shares as early as 2009.

"I think they'll want Jennifer Hawkins to be the face of the float," the source said.

Rival David Jones, which employs Megan Gale under an annually reviewed rolling contract, hinted that Ms Gale might own shares in the share market listed retailer.

"Megan is very motivated for David Jones to be successful," was all group general manager marketing and financial services manager Damian Eels would say.
