Mary-Kate Olsen raised the roof (by partying on it!) during a pre-Fashion Week bash in New York Thursday night. The fashionista was among the first guests to arrive at Dazed & Confused magazine's Mini rooftop bash, held in a converted loft space. A casual Olsen was there to check out psychedelic Brooklyn-based rockers Mgmt, who performed at the party – but she arrived almost two-hours before the band took the stage. To pass the time, the starlet took a seat in the grass, sipped some beer and talked to her friends. During the set, she danced along and not even some spraying beer halted her groove!

The guys of Fall Out Boy went a little off script while recording a recent public service announcement about global warming. The band did the 30-second PSA for dosomething.org, a Web site encouraging kids to get involved with everything from human rights to education. It took a few tries to get the ad out, and the outtakes following the real ad are amusing. In one cut scene, singer Patrick Stump jokes, "Carpool to save gas. Because I know you're in grade school and driving is what you do."Bassist Pete Wentz also had some fun. "Basically, if the earth

Don't place any bets on when Gisele Bündchen might marry boyfriend Tom Brady, says the supermodel. "I'm happy as I am," she tells the Spanish edition of Vogue in its September issue. "Why is the whole world worked up about my getting married? I'm having a great time and I want to enjoy it." The 28-year-old Brazilian model – who appears on the magazine's cover labeled "The Goddess" – also says she doesn't consider herself a supermodel.

"I'm a little nervous," said Simpson to a crowd of nearly 200 record industry folks at the Schermerhorn Symphony Center. "If I throw up, I'm sorry." Brushing her blonde hair from her face, she continued: "Thank you so much for coming and for giving me a chance.

She may not have been on his arm for the Toronto Film Festival premiere of RocknRolla (blame her touring schedule!) but Guy Ritchie says his wife Madonna was there for him throughout the making of the film. "She's been very supportive," Ritchie, 39, told People. "It was great." That said, he told reporters that he didn't know the secret of a happy marriage. "That's a toughie," he conceded. "If you know, you tell me." The stars of Ritchie's film also had tons of praise for the Material Girl, who often visited the set."She's gorgeous," Toby Kebbell said. "A lovely, stunning woman.

Senator John McCain accepted his party's nomination at the Republican National Convention Thursday in St. Paul with a reach-out to Democrats and independents. "Despite our differences, much more unites us than divides us," McCain, 72, said in a nod to his Democratic opponent, Barack Obama.

Picking up his opponent's theme of change, the Arizona senator, promising to move beyond "partisan rancor," also vowed to remake Washington – by lowering taxes and stripping the fat from government spending, while mounting a strong national defense. "Let me just offer an advance warning to the old,
