A book-signing for fans of twin actresses Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen took an ugly turn when they were bombarded by a legion of angry protestors wearing mocking masks of the pair.Fans lined up to meet the 22-year-old moguls, who were celebrating the release of their new coffee table book, Influence, on Tuesday (28Oct08).But the pair were stunned to find animal rights activists shouting outside the event - part of a campaign launched by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (Peta) against the stars for their fashion choices.A Peta spokesperson tells Wenn: "People who still wear fur haven't woken up to the fact that a big, dead animal on your back makes you look like a troll."Compassionate fashionistas know that real beauty comes from the heart - something that the Trollsen Twins seem to lack, considering all the animals they've killed for their clothes."Meanwhile the twin media moguls Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen disappointed fans hoping for photos at a recent book signing - after a long list of strict demands were posted by the pair.Fans lined up for signed copies of the 22-year-olds' new coffee table book Influence, but were taken aback by the nine-point list they were asked to abide by before greeting the stars - including a "no pictures" rule.The form warned: "Mary-Kate Olsen and Ashley Olsen will be with us for a limited time. They will only be signing copies of their book... They will not be speaking, reading or taking questions.

"(The Olsens) will not sign any memorabilia or product other than Influence.

There is a limit of one book per person.

"There is no photography allowed. You must put away your camera or cellphone before approaching the signing table."
