So, I've never seen It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia. Everyone says it's very funny, but... look, I watch almost everything, but even I -- or more accurately, my DVR -- have to draw the line somewhere, and one easy way to do that is to draw it at Channels I Don't Immediately Know How To Find On My DirecTV Guide. So, sorry, F/X. When you stopped showing 90210 reruns lo those many years ago, I stopped knowing where you were.

Anyhoodle. Kaitlin Olson here is on the show, and apparently, she married one of her co-stars. That is very sweet. This, sadly, is not:

She has deployed stirrup leggings. Presumably, she did not ride to this event on horseback, and unless this is the weirdest event ever, she's not at the gynecologist. So there is no reason for stirrups. At all. (For proof, see the title of the tag on this entry.) If you think your dress is too short, here's a thought: Wear a different one. There is NO problem for which "stirrup pants" is the answer. Okay, maybe if you are being mugged in Forever 21 and the only thing you can reach with which to fight back at your assailant is something off the lycra rack, then I will allow that stirrup pants have a hidden purpose. But otherwise, step away from them, America. I would expect this kind of behavior from a young twenty-something Olsen with a twin, not an older, more elegant Olson with clean hair.

Thank God we have eagle-eyed readers. Apparently, while we were on hiatus, watching bowl games and drinking mulled wine and weep-swooning through Band of Brothers marathons (parenthetically: it says a lot about the hotness of that cast that the brief presence of both James McAvoy AND Jason O'Mara went completely unnoticed back when the miniseries premiered), Katie Holmes did this:

... She's just bored, right? Or is this a cry for help? Unless these are somehow an integral part of her costume (which still probably could've been kept to her dressing room rather than being taken out into the world and coated in denim), I REALLY feel serious alarm. I would expect these sorts of shenanigans from Hilary Duff, maybe, or Sienna Miller. Lindsay Lohan probably wants to design a pair of these with kneepads and call them The Starlet (as a companion piece to her evocatively named "Mr. President" padded leggings). But for Katie Holmes to deviate from a steady pre-theater diet of comfy jeans and cardigans in favor of STIRRUP TIGHTS worn under denim shorts... well, that took some effort, and the only explanation I can come up with is that she ran out of mood stabilizers and so she spends all her sleepless nights surfing eBay and watching QVC. She probably also has a genuine emeraldiste-studded toilet-roll holder, a space-saving dress made only of one argyle sock and a rubber band, and a nifty set of Hummel figurines in the image of the entire cast of Starship Troopers. I kind of wish she'd worn one or all of those instead.

Nope, we wrote the whole thing fresh, just for you.

Awesome. In that case, I want to read it!
