Mary-Kate Olsen and Ashley Olsen, looking fabulous (which must be pretty easy to do when you’re a mega-millionaire), signed copies of their new book, Influence, and posed for press photographers at the Barnes and Noble in Union Square, New York yesterday.

Over 2000 fans showed up for the signing and were presented with a list of nine strict rules for their time in the benevolent presence of the almighty twins.

Some of the warnings given included: “There is no photography allowed. You must put away your camera or cell phone before approaching the signing table. The authors will not pose for photos…They will not be speaking, reading or taking questions... Mary-Kate Olsen and Ashley Olsen will NOT sign any memorabilia or product other than Influence.”

Woe is the fan who showed up with a copy of New York Minute, a Polaroid camera and the audacity to say “Thank You.” We’re shocked people weren't told to genuflect as they approached the signing table.

WTF? Who cares about the Olsen Twins?

Law Abiding Citizen See It or Skip It
F. Gary Gray's latest effort, Law Abiding Citizen, starring Jamie Foxx and Gerard Butler, is a knockout! Exhilirating, wry and breathcatchingly paced, it's a stellar accomplishment for everyone involved. Hell yeah you should see it!

The Boys Are Back See It or Skip It
Scott Hicks, the director of Shine, and Clive Owen teamed up for this gloriously beautiful if underwhelming project. It's not that it's bad, it's just not that memorable and with such supreme talent attached, I was hoping for and expecting a lot more.

Jennifer's Body See it or Skip it
Oh, Diablo Cody, why'd you have to do it? I love you so long...and then you made this. Megan Fox does what she always does, she looks hot. At least there's that. Sophmoric, unfunny and obsessively idiosyncratic, it's a painful movie going experience.

See It or Skip It: World's Greatest Dad
Chocolate and peanut butter. Spaghetti and meatballs. Bobcat Goldthwait and profanity. Two great tastes that taste great together. Gone is the Bobcat of the Police Academy movies and in his stead is a fantastic writer-director who's able to orchestrate the most brilliantly, hilarious vulgarity imaginable. World's Greatest Dad is a fantastic dark comedy (very dark) that features Robin Williams' best performance since Good Will Hunting. See it!
