I have newfound respect for these two, for a pretty simple (and kinda silly) reason — because they didn’t go out and get stinkin’ drunk on their 21st birthday, which made me realize that we never see these girls crazy drunk, doing drugs, flashing their privates or getting DUI’s. We all know Lindsay Lohan is going to get drunk, do drugs, flash her privates and what not, on her 21st, which is being celebrated next month with a huge bash at Pure in Las Vegas. But the cute Olsen twins celebrated their big day with a low-key family dinner at the Chateau Marmont in Hollywood. Guests included their sister Lizzie, 19, and brother Trent, 23. A source told People magazine the inside scoop:
“It looked like a family dinner,” an onlooker tells People Magazine, “You could tell they were all really close. The girls couldn’t stop smiling.”
A little after 11 p.m., two red velvet cakes – one covered in white frosting and the other in black – were brought out as the table burst into “Happy Birthday.” Their friends cheered as the girls closed their eyes and blew out the candles.
Soon after the cake was cut, another treat arrived: To the delight of the guests, boxes of cupcakes were served between the tea lights and petite vases of cut pink and white flowers dotting the table.
While the champagne and wine continued to flow, each guest took a turn raising a glass and saying a few words about the girls. Between cheers and laughter at inside jokes, the sisters posed for pictures taken with a vintage Polaroid camera, then anxiously crowded over the developing photos before laughing at the results.
Though there were plenty of gifts on the table, the true present for Mary-Kate was the guy sitting next to her. After giving the last toast, the 20-something blond kissed her lovingly before she jumped into his lap and gave him a peck on his chin. As she looked through her birthday cards, he brushed her cheek with one hand and caressed the back of her sheer black dress.
