...licensing agreement with child actors DYLAN and COLE SPROUSE, both 13, who currently star in their own show on the Disney Channel and also appeared on the sitcom Friends. The new brand, D.C. Sprouse, hangs on the twins' cuteness and likability and will include DVD movies, CDs, clothing, sports gear and video games to appeal to the tween-boy audience. "They're real boy boys," says an Olsen rep of the Sprouses. "They like skating, sports, all of that." O.K., but if you want to know what boys are really into, here's a tip: try girls...
