Olsen Twins' Empty House
They're rich, famous and...homeless?
Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, who are set to matriculate at New York University this fall, have lost out on a bid to lease a posh apartment while they await completion of construction on their new $3.5 million condo in the Big Apple.
With the help of their manager-father, David, the dynamic duo had hoped to take over a 3,500-square-foot three-bedroom spread at 133 Wooster in Greenwich Village for about $14,000 a month--a pittance considering the girls each came into $150 million of their empire's spoils earlier this month upon celebrating their 18th birthday.
But, according to the New York Post, Amy Hunter, the owner of that residence, apparently got cold feet and reneged on the deal, believing the former Full House mates would have a tough time gaining approval from the condo's strict co-op board.
"They were supposed to move in this week and [the owner] basically told them that she thought they weren't going to get through the board," an unnamed source is quoted in the Post. "Maybe she confused them with the Hilton sisters."
Recent magazine reports of wild partying may have also played a factor.
Reps for Hunter and the Olsens could not be reached for comment Tuesday.
The scuttled arrangement means the Olsens now have to scramble to find a new crib before the start of their freshman year while their own digs at the ritzy Morton Square building--where many a celeb call home--is being readied.
A publicist for J.D. Carlisle Development Corp., which oversees Morton Square, stated the company has offered the girls a three-bedroom loft in excess of 2,500-feet in the interim while their space--a $3.5 million condo spread--goes through some "extensive intricate design work." But it's not known if they're going to take it yet.
"They haven't officially accepted the temporary rental in the interim," said Carlisle rep Suzanne Billet. "But we look forward to them moving in once their home is ready."
As if they don't already have enough to deal with. Ashley recently split with longtime beau Matt Kaplan; Mary-Kate's car was mangled in a fender-bender last month when her bodyguard plowed into her SUV; they jointly sued videogame giant Acclaim for supposedly botching a line of Olsen-themed games; and their first feature film, New York Minute, tanked in a Hollywood second, making less than $14 million since its release last month.
But their most pressing problem is Mary-Kate's battle with an eating disorder believed to be anorexia nervosa.
Speaking to People magazine, Ashley said Mary-Kate had been struggling with the eating disorder "for quite awhile" before her family stepped in and committed her to a clinic earlier this month.
Ashley--the eldest Olsen by two minutes--scrapped a trip Down Under for the Australian premiere of New York Minute to be with her sibling, who's reportedly holed up in Cirque Lodge, a mountainside rehab center in Sundance, Utah.
"She's hanging in there," Ashley said. "She is taking the time she needs for herself right now. Right now is especially a good time right before school so she can get healthy."
