Scarlett May Blossom's Fuggery

DUDES. I am so over Phoebe Price. For a while, I found her excessive fame-whoring somewhat charming. Not charming the way, like, little baby booties that look like Mary Janes are charming, or the way tiny piglets are charming. But charming in the sense that it was SO blatant that it was sort of refreshing. Because it was so obvious. But now it's just tired. To wit:

SIGH. P-Squared has invited photogs to snap pics of her recording an audio book of Scarlett May Blossom's Diary: Ceilings I Have Seen.  A book which isn't on Amazon, and therefore is not actually a proper book requiring an audio version, but in fact a book that has probably been mocked up for the exact purpose of this photoshoot, which is solely to make it seem like PP has a JOB, which we all know she does not, which of course once again makes us all wonder how she can afford the never-ending series of bizarre animal-patterned nylon frocks and hair extensions. If it were anyone else, I would think that Scarlett May Blossom's Diary: Ceilings I Have Seen was an ironic, winking reference to the fact that the bloggers and blog-readers of the world are pretty sure PP is actually the kept woman of some very rich but extremely unimportant person, but considering the source, I suspect she just thought it sounded like a good read.

The amount of work it surely took to mock up photos like this one, however, make me feel like maybe it would be less work for her to actually get an ACTUAL JOB:

DailyCeleb532576.jpg

P: NO ONE BELIEVES YOU ARE IN DEMAND BY ANYONE IN THE ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY. (Being in demand by those of us bloggers who occasionally need material doesn't count.) This entire charade is a ridiculous waste of time and resources. You would be better served by actually getting an actual job instead of laboring so tirelessly at PRETENDING you are employed. Then you could be ACTUALLY employed and not have to continue this ridiculous idiotic play-acting. WE'D ALL BE SO MUCH HAPPIER. To quote R Kelly's seminal "Sex In the Kitchen:" Go get a goddamn job, dog. Shit, leave me alone. Get a job.

Also, I don't care for that dress. Just so we're on topic.

Tara Fugd

Careful with those arms, Tara.

For one thing, letting your shirt ride up thusly makes it look like you had your navel surgically removed. But also, if you party any harder, that thing could creep up so high that we all see first-hand for ourselves whether you had your boobs re-expanded.

Unless of course you're wearing a bra. Are you?

I Fugged

Solange Knowles' reign of terror continues, and her legs are paying the price! Behold:

spl45913_008.jpg

I enjoy that all of the men in the background are very, very studiously NOT looking at her, like if they were to look directly at her tights, their faces would melt off like in Raiders of the Lost Ark. However, I must speak out on behalf of that leg-wear for a brief moment (from afar, it appears to depict rats, but they are horses and elephants, I believe). While they are... most bizarrely heinous on her legs, I rather suspect they'd make for adorable wallpaper.  So at least there's that!

No such back-handed compliments can be applied to this, however:

I hear you. You're saying, "But, Jessica! That dress is cute! Whatever do you mea- ACK! MY EYES! MY PRECIOUS SIGHT! SWEET GOD, WHAT ARE THOSE THINGS?!"

Let's take a closer look, shall we?

Fug or Fab: Tilda Swinton

I hope Tilda Swinton's acting career thrives for another 30 years, because I will never NOT be excited at the prospect of seeing what she's wearing -- and I deeply need her to keep herself at the level of public wackitude to which I've become accustomed.

This might not do it:

I'm torn here. On the one hand, the collar makes it look like she just recently feasted on the carcass of some fresh prey; on the other, the suit fits her pretty well, and frankly, it's just not quite as cracked-out as she's been in the past. The last thing I ever want to do when I look at a photo of Tilda Swinton is yawn and consider bypassing it. I want the extremes -- unmitigated fabulousness or undiluted crazy. I want this outfit to look MORE like someone threw a plate of pasta at her. Although the shoes are kind of psychedelically amusing; they faintly evoke something Strawberry Shortcake would wear if times got rough and she turned to streetwalking. So that's something.

Fuglange Knowles

It must be hard to be Knowles The Lesser. It must be close to the modern equivalent of being the younger, lamer sibling of the heir to a throne. You're just Duke So And So and everrrrrrrryone is all het up about your brother, kissing his ass and bringing him candied pheasant tongues and big fat fancy brooches and chatting him up about their duchy or their hot young daughter or whatever in hopes of winning favor, and you're just left alone at the back of the throne room to play with the ostrich feathers in your hat and give him dirty looks and drink copious amounts of mead and then eventually getting so bitter about how no one pays any attention to YOU that you get up a group of untrustworthy followers and try and stab your brother with an arrow or something and then you get exiled to Majorca or whatever and it's all a huge disaster.

I mean, she's already got the feathers:

And if this isn't a cry for attention, I don't know what is. Beyonce better up her security, is what I'm saying.

Fug or Fab: Jessica Biel

We got an email the other day from a reader, and it said something along the lines of, "Is Jessica Biel looking kind of bland lately, or is it just me?" And I was like, "gentle reader, it is not just you, for I was thinking the same thing recently." I mean, it's not that she woke up some morning and she was totally hideous -- she is still physically lovely, of course -- but she just looks so OATMEAL lately. To wit:

82533883.jpg

I mean, it's fine. She looks fine. I just feel like iJEBT Iufiu9487ytg'jhnbhhhhhh.iwyriu bb b 

Sorry. I fell asleep. I was just going to say that she's young and firm and gorgeous, so why doesn't she try some eiwhto98e877244 *%&$Tgjkekgn .

Shoot. You know what? Why don't you take over?

Fug & Kim

The promos for Kath & Kim that ran during the Olympics deeply stank. To the point where I think I felt actual, physical pain. I would shake my fist at the sky and ask why, GOD, WHY, so many talented people are involved in something so potentially awful, but then I remember that Maid In Manhattan is not a figment of my (or Ralph Fiennes') imagination, so ... truly anything is possible.

Ergo, I guess Selma Blair can't be blamed for taking a pair of scissors to her dress. Those commercials would make anyone stabby.

82538369.jpg

But buck up, Selma. You've managed to create something akin to what might be on the cover if Martha Stewart were allowed to guest-edit an issue of Elle. In fact, I'm sure Martha will be calling you imminently to book you for a guest segment on her talk show, all about how to freshen up your old clothes by treating them like paper snowflakes. You might want to leave those white lace inserts at home, though; adding anything doily-like to this craft project might make Martha's head spin off her neck and explode with joy, and we need her too much. She's like a lifestyle MacGyver. Without Martha, how would I possibly figure out how to make a Halloween centerpiece out of a pile of wet leaves, a cinnamon stick, some Hanes undershirts, and a rented goat? HOW?!?

Fug Men

Bryan Batt is great on Mad Men.

82531909.jpg

But that's nothing compared to his burgeoning career as a model for the new "Tommy Bahama: Weddings" catalog.

Patricia Fugquette

It may confuse you to learn that Patricia Arquette here was attending a Radiohead concert.

It certainly perplexed ME -- one look at this photo and I felt certain Al's Boot Farm was sponsoring another legendary three-day Square-Dancing and Macrame-Animals Exposition and Food Fair. Unless perhaps P.Arq is teaching a course there on how to do-si-do to "Idioteque." That and some slabs of cornbread might be worth the price of admission.

Reminder: NYFug.com Q&A

If you had a hankering to submit a question to us to be answered in this week's NYMag.com column, then time is ticking -- we're most likely writing the piece on Wednesday, so you have about a day and a half left for submissions. Here's a reminder as to how to get us your itching, burning queries:

1) Dash off an email with your question(s) in it to Jessica Coen at jessica (dot) coen (at) nymag (dot) com

2) Drop by our column from last week and leave your question in the comments section (registration required).

I think Intern George has a really long list of things to ask, so make sure you get your requests in ahead of his.

And now back to our regularly scheduled fuggery.

Mad Fug

Ooookay. January Jones always looks so beautfully prim on Mad Men that, I admit, it's kind of a shock to see her like this:

82533315.jpg

From the neck up, she's all Whimsy McRetro, but from there down, she's seriously hardcore Heidi Montag. And I ask you: DOES THAT SEEM LIKE A GOOD IDEA? DOES IT?

I didn't think so.

The Fuggit By Fuggis Hilton, Part II: The Actual Box Of Fake Hair

Evidently, it's a fake-hair-palooza at GFY HQ today. Initially, I was going to fold this photo of Paris Hilton's box of extensions into other bit with her that I did, but in fact, it demands its own post -- in part because there is no way Paris, either in real life or in parody, could offer the proper perspective on the hilariousness of this packaging. Seriously, it may have made my morning.

Behold, The Bandit:

82530193.jpg

Or should I say, "The Bandit," thanks to the unnecessary quotation marks that give it a delicious ironic air-quotes effect -- like whoever designed this is all, "Seriously, the only similarity this has to an actual bandit is that it ALSO should be outlawed." And yet it is AWESOME.  I particularly enjoy the gentle elegance of Paris' heartfelt "That's Hot!" endorsement. It amuses me that the packaging's proofreader refused to let Paris spell it with her signature "hott" and yet allowed the erroneous non-word "Everytime" to find its way on there. Not that anyone will notice, because we are all too hypnotized by Paris's sultry gaze. Yes, thanks to her 22-inch hair that's been hot-glue-gunned to a piece of cloth, Paris FINALLY has the confidence to undress you with her eyes, although I think she also wears that same expression when she attempts math, uses her microwave, or is asked to spell her name.

However, I completely believe the claim that this product has "fashion on the run," as there is no way anyone or anything associated with actual fashion -- except maybe the Heatherette boys -- would do anything but flee screaming from this. And yet I am equally certain I will end up buying it at some point, because I have a not-so-secret love of deeply fake hair and its attendant camp factor, and Halloween is RIGHT around the corner. In fact, I wore J.Simp's extensions the year I went as Fergie, but those clip in and can't be torn off in the head of a catfight without some serious scalp issues. So these might be even better. I mean, what if I want to go as Dr. Kimberly Shaw but I don't want to shell out for an actual wig? Perfect: I can rewrite her famous Melrose Place scene as, "She Ripped Off Her Headbandit." I may owe Paris a major debt of gratitude here.

"Dear Diary,

"Psst! Over here! Tell me honestly: Can you see the bronzer line on my palm? You can, huh? Damn, I wanted everything to be perfect today, Diary! Because I'm launching my new line of hair extensions that are, like, sewed to a headband, or something, and I needed it to be a special day. But it's already ruined, because not only did I just now discover that I have freakishly long Arsenio Hall fingers AND self-tanner marks, but stupid Nicky totally lied to me. I e-mailed her last week and told her I wanted to dress up like a candy striper today, right? Because I read somewhere that people called "candy stripers" work in hospitals helping the needy, and my fake hair is saving people in their hour of desperation, and stuff, so it's like totally the same. And then Nicky showed up with THIS thing, and I was like, "Dude, this doesn't even come off easily, and there are no pasties and there's not even any glitter," and Nicky's all, "Whoa, fool, 'candy striper' is pronounced like STRIPE, not like STRIPPER," and I cried for like TWO MINUTES. 

"And then I remembered that I totally brought a costume change with me that would save the day. Do you want to see it, Diary? Do you? I thought so:

Celebrity Tanorexia Watch: Nancy O'Dell

I don't swear that much on this Web site, because my mother reads it and I love her, but sometimes a nice, therapeutic four-letter word is the best expression of the depth of my terror -- and when a celebrity comes along and vaults right into the top spot on the Terror Watch index to the point where she redefines it, well, that is when clean language deserts me.

And so: HOLY SHIT, Nancy O'Dell.

Oh my god, Madonna:

WE GET IT. You've REALLY been working out. Your muscles are amazing. You could crush a man's skull with your quads. Every day, you crack walnuts in your arm pits. You have managed to do what Cher could not and actually turned back time. You're now biologically a 24 year old professional male rock climber who just moonlights as a popular pop star (the positioning of the mic is a bit much, by the way). You are a creature unlike any other and will never age, we promise. Now, will you PLEASE PUT ON SOME PANTS?
