FANS of Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen gladly lined up to get the tiny twins to sign copies of their book, “Influence,” yesterday – but they had to follow a slew of rules at the Union Square Barnes & Noble.

Racked.com posted a long list of obligations for anxious collectors. “Mary- Kate Olsen and Ashley Olsen will be with us for a limited time,” the sheet stated. “They will only be signing copies of their book . . . They will not be speaking, reading or taking questions.” The 9-point list also warned that the Olsens “will not sign any memorabilia or product other than ‘Influence;’ ” “There is a limit of one book per person and, “There is no photography allowed. You must put away your camera or cellphone before approaching the signing table.” Meanwhile, Olsen-hating activists from PETA were parked outside the store in unflattering masks of the sisters, reports The Post’s Aliyah Shahid.

MARY-Kate and Ashley Olsen are acting like their old, inseparable selves. Countering rumors that all’s not well in celebutwin land, the Olsen sibs trotted into Paris nightclub Regine’s for a Fashion Week party thrown by the owners of New York’s Mr. West Lounge. “They arrived holding hands and were totally inseparable all night,” one source said. “They mostly stuck together but chatted a bit with Kate Bosworth, Jessica Stam and Lauren Davis.”

MARY-Kate and Ashley Olsen always complain they want more privacy – so why are they drawing so much attention to themselves on their quiet West Village block?

Residents on West 13th Street are annoyed by the tiny twins’ “military presence.” One neighbor fumed to Page Six, “They are disruptive, intrusive and totally disrespectful.”

In May, The Post’s Braden Keil reported the multimillionaires were renting two floors of a brownstone on West 13th for $12,000 a month. A source reported seeing the party princesses “piling out of their gas guzzlers in their little club outfits” in the wee hours.

Since then, it’s only gotten worse. One resident called the frail fashionistas “two spoiled brats” who “change the character of the neighborhood” by posting security guards outside. The goons have even rousted residents of the building from their perches on the brownstone’s stoop so the twins can climb the steps in privacy.

A block resident told us two giant GMC Denali trucks are parked outside the townhouse every night, with hired muscle who keep the engines idling for hours at a time. “You would think there was a government operation going on,” the resident said.

“It is a peaceful, quiet street,” the source added. “Plenty of other celebrities around this block [Sarah Jessica Parker, Liv Tyler, Gisele Bundchen and Julianne Moore] are good neighbors and blend in with the neighborhood – but these two are invaders.”

Mary-Kate’s late-night partying during Fashion Week consisted of hitting the Rock & Republic party Saturday, having dinner at Cipriani on Monday, partying at Santos on Tuesday, and tearing up Lit and the Beatrice Inn on Wednesday.

“The good news is that it’s only a rental,” said our source, “and we all hope it’s not a long-standing one.”

A rep for the Olsens denied that security has ever asked anyone to leave the stoop and told Page Six, “If there were significant issues, you would think that the neighbors would address Ashley or Mary-Kate directly, rather than calling the media.”
