Many an A-lister made the trek to Dubai today to celebrate the grand opening of the Atlantis Palm Resort. Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson
traveled from London to join Sam's mother Ann Dexter-Jones, while Mischa Barton will show up anywhere there's a red carpet. The eclectic crew, which included Mary-Kate Olsen all draped in white, Gerard Butler, Charlize Theron, and Stuart Townsend, was treated to dinner and an elaborate performance from Kylie Minogue.

A-listers were out in force last night for the lavish opening of the Atlantis Palm Resort and Palm Jumeirah in Dubai, with Lindsay Lohan, Mischa Barton and Mary-Kate Olson
slipping on their gladrags. Us Brits were represented by a suave Gerard Butler, glittering Agyness Deyn and graceful Lily Allen, who left the
balloons at home and accessorised with Rhys Ifans and a reported
£5 million of Chopard jewellery. Wowzers.

A while ago I said I hated taupe. Times change. I especially thought it wasn't a flattering color on blondes.

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen continued to promote
Influence at a Borders autograph signing in Westwood yesterday. The girls looked like they were having a blast together as they laughed and each displayed the book with themselves on the cover, ignoring the
PETA protesters outside. Ashley took a turn with the
black YSL pumps as MK kept it funky with her cutout black boots.

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen arrived at LAX in separate cars a few hours apart yesterday on their way out of town. The blond twins were both incognito, but it's hard to miss MK in her drapey clothing and Ashley with her big Starbucks. MK and Ashley have been making the rounds promoting
Influence and earlier this week Mary-Kate made an awesome guest appearance on
Samantha Who?.

We've already seen
Nicole Richie on Chuck and
Katie Holmes on Eli Stone, and next week, it'll be Mary-Kate Olsen's turn. The actress is popping up on ABC's
Samantha Who? as Natalie, a troubled young woman whose life Samantha decides to turn around.
In the episode, Samantha has an altercation with a police officer that ends with her getting community service, where she meets Natalie, who's apparently an unrepentant thief.

Mary-Kate Olsen and her boyfriend Nate Lowman had a leisurely lunch together in NYC yesterday afternoon. MK looked especially small draped in her scarf with her knees tucked up for her romantic outdoor meal. Mary-Kate may be done promoting her
book release for the time being, but we'll get to see more of her on Monday night.
Many of us are influenced by the Olsens, be it Mary-Kate or Ashley. But clearly PETA isn't. In fact, members of the organization stood in front of Barnes & Noble in New York City's Union Square yesterday to protest the girls' book,
Influence.

Three women, three different ways to get down to the root of things. Jessica Simpson, Beyoncé, and Mary-Kate Olsen each have distinctive styles, but they share one thing in common: A refreshingly low-key attitude when it comes to touching up their roots. Each of these blonde stars can afford to have that "I just left a salon" kind of color, but letting a few roots show feels thoroughly modern — particularly in an economic cycle where pricey highlights are a luxury that many people can't take.

Who can you scribe has influenced you? The more I think about it, the more people I could pay tribute to. Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen looked understated stellar
at Barnes and Noble promoting their book, Influence.
