Fug or Fab: Isabel Lucas

Don't even get me started about Transformers 2. It was so terrible. NOTHING about it was good. Literally, everything down to the Egyptian geography was wrong. If you were lucky enough to miss it, Isabel Lucas here played a sexually voracious college student who provided tons of upskirt shots of her panties and who was secretly actually a man-eating robot with a tail and a twenty foot tongue, like, SUBTLE AND LAYERED AS USUAL, MICHAEL BAY. Honestly, the whole thing made me want to re-enroll in college just so I could write an enraged critical paper about how insulting the entire thing was: to women, to men, to minorities, to the government, to the military, to college students, to parents, to cars, to small appliances, to the audience. On the other hand, the movie did allow for Roger Ebert to write this review, which begins, "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is a horrible experience of unbearable length." I love you, Roger.  Anyway, Ms Lucas is a pretty girl:

The dress, I think, is cute -- I have one sort of similar to it, so I'm biased, although mine isn't shiny and looks somewhat less like fancy French doors. But I am worried about whoever has taken over Ms Lucas's hair and makeup duties. Check it:
The Hills is going to be a little weird without Lauren Conrad. Because as boring as she'd gotten on the show -- understandably, since she developed an actual romantic and professional life outside the confines of the show's blurred reality and that would make me Over It also -- she was its heart and soul, and without her there's really nothing to root for except perhaps the onset of a raging case of crabs in Chez Pratt.

Still, MTV is trying, including making sure as many of its stars are visible as possible. Starting with Lauren Bosworth:

I really like this on Lo. It seems to fit -- which is more than I can say for those jeans -- and it skims her figure without skewing its proportions. The makeup is a bit heavy for her, though. I keep thinking of The Joker. In all, though, this is harmlessly cute and replete with the kind of wavy blonde sweetness that Lauren Conrad used to give the show, which probably means Lo is expected to fill the Everygirl role now and is going to have to practice her very best concerned expressions and the art of shedding one single tear, so that MTV will have plenty of ways to smash to commercial off her inner turmoil.

Unfortunately, it will be hard to buy into a new Lauren Conrad when the old one is still around:

VMAs Fug Carpet: Amanda Bynes

OH MY GOD, you guys! You're not going to believe this! Amanda Bynes is wearing a tiny mini-dress and a fake tan!

Up is down and down is up! Next you're going to tell me that bacon grows on trees and Brett Favre is retiring for good and Audrina Patridge made eye contact with something! WE'RE THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS HERE, PEOPLE.

Fugger Pains

You can run, Linds, but you can't hide. We know it's you. Why?

Because ONLY YOU would take the twin obsessions of spandex and self-tanner so far as to paint yourself a pair of FLESH LEGGINGS.

It's so ridiculous that I can't even be bothered to rag on your rubber dress, or the fact that I think you bought that bag at the Franchise Glitz Dealer they go to in Xanadu. Yes, flesh leggings may have broken me. Seek help, and I will do the same.

The fact that our girl Posh was not even close to being the weirdest-dressed Met Ball attendee almost makes me wonder if we're in some kind of alternate universe, where up is down, down is up, high-waisted pants are universally flattering, and Intern George has a blemish.

But she's still the leggy, over-tanned exhibitionist we know and love. Or hate, or just can't be bothered to feel ANYTHING about except a mild urge to pack her back to a life of obscurity. As for how I feel about THIS, I don't know. It has all the Posh hallmarks: huge shoes that don't look especially comfortable (is she en pointe in those things?), a tiny skirt that jettisons her thigh muscles from the unbearable prison of fabric, and an eruption of attempted drama. The minidress kind of reminds me of an old-school swimsuit -- the type of thing we'd call a Bathing Costume, with the merest hint of a snooty accent to remind us that it's from Olden Times. The cape? Maybe a matching cover-up.

But I don't know if it's interesting enough to scream either fug OR fab, yet it's also not dullsville, because it's Posh, and she IS strutting around like a polka-dotted peacock. And when you factor in my general feelings of affection for Her Campiness, it's probably best to let you guys be the voice of judgment.

JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE: Love the dress, Jessie baby.

JESSICA BIEL: I also love my dress. Thank God we started dating. I get way better party invitations now.

JT: I just have one question. When you walk away from me, is your tan going to leave a mark on my jacket?

JESSICA: Ha ha, you're so funny.

JT: I am, it's true. But that has nothing to do with the problem here. Why are you that color?

JESSICA: Why are you asking me this NOW?

JT: Are you bringing it on down to Orangeville?

JESSICA: Excuse me?

JUSTIN: I am like three seconds away from singing "Tanning it up... with The Barry Gibb Tan Show."

JESSICA: Oh, cute, you're going through your Saturday Night Live greatest hits. Next I suppose you're going to suggest I cut a hole in a box and put my junk self-tanner in the box, and then let you open the box.

JT: That's ridiculous. Why would I say that?

JESSICA: Whatever, Milhouse. I am so breaking your glasses later.

VALENTINO: Anne. Pet.

ANNE HATHAWAY: Hello!

VALENTINO: I cannot believe my eyes.

ANNE: Thank you! I AM pretty pleased with my dress. My cleavage looks a bit fabulous.

VALENTINO: SO WHITE.

ANNE: ... Okay, now I have no idea whether it's a compliment or not.

VALENTINO: How are you so PALE? It's so UNNATURAL!

ANNE: ... Did he just tell me MY skin is unnatural?

VALENTINO: Skin the color of paper! It has to be a practical joke! Where is that George Clooney? Is he behind this?

ANNE: But this is totally the skin color I was born with -- I'm fair, you know? I like myself that way.

VALENTINO: Like? LIKE?

ANNE: Yeah! I'm proud of how I look. Porcelain skin is in, man.

VALENTINO: HA HA HA HA HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.

ANNE: No, really, it's...

VALENTINO: HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA

ANNE: You're serious?

VALENTINO: HA.

ANNE: Because...

VALENTINO: HAH HA HAAAAAAAAA HA HA HAAA. IT MADE A FUNNY! HA HA HA HA!

ANNE: This is going to be a long night.

Let's discuss for a second how RANCID the new 90210 is. They pick up and drop plotlines like a serial dater. Drunkface still cannot act, and delivers 90 percent of her lines at warp speed. None of the relationships or friendships are remotely interesting. The clothes aren't even amusing enough to make me love-hate them. I seriously think it's being run by blind monkeys on downers. Lori Loughlin deserves better. Listen, Stamos is going to be available soon, now that ER is ending -- she and he need to figure out a way to recreate that old Uncle Jesse/Rebecca magic and save her from this toilet bowl.

She also deserved a little better than this dress:

84202409.jpg

It's not... I mean, it could be worse. But unless she's planning to get married to a basketweaver after the show in a small ceremony officiated by one of the valets, I'd rather have seen her in something a bit less twee. And which didn't expose the fact that she forgot to loofah the Mystic Tan off her legs.

As for her show, I just have one word for The CW: Step the hell off Melrose Place unless you get someone there who knows how to pull crazy from thin air. I have serious, serious reservations that they will be able to recreate the mad genius of the time Kimberly Shaw Ripped Off Her Wig. Or when she tried to kill herself with pills just to lash out at Michael Mancini, but when he found her, he just smiled, turned on some classical music and poured a glass of wine. Or Kimberly's split personalities. Or that time Priscilla Presley almost gave Jack Wagner a lobotomy,Amanda Woodward incited her boss to hang himself over his desk, Sydney became a hooker, or Sydney joined a cult that counted Traci Lords as a member. Odds are, it will be more like the tedious first season of Melrose -- WILL BILLY QUIT DRIVING A CAB TO WORK AT HIS FATHER'S CARPET STORE??!?! -- and in that case, what's the point? Just rerun the original. Heather Locklear could use the cash. Hell, with the exception of Gay Matt, Kristin Davis, and maybe the resurrected Grant Show, they all could.

Fug or Fab: Kate Winslet

I've always sort of loved Kate Winslet, right down to how deliciously British her last name sounds. She seems like she'd be a laugh, her cameo on Extras ruled, and basically I imagine she'd be super fun over some pints and a game of darts at a pub. So whenever I hear somewhat negative stories about her and how her public image of awesomeness might not be entirely true to life, I tend to put my fingers in my ears and screech something by Jessica Simpson (seriously, however you feel about her, "A Public Affair" will cure you of ANYTHING that's stuck in your head unpleasantly) in the hope of blocking my brain from retaining the information.

But I can't decide how I feel about this. Now, I don't want to take anything away from how bodaciously curvy and curvily bodacious Kate Winslet looks here, but:

83905157.jpg

It's not very Kate Winslet, is it? Not that I want to pigeonhole her as a fair English rose for the rest of her life -- I imagine it sucks to be pigeonholed, not least because pigeons are detestably foul rodent-birds -- but because it's just a tad jarring. She looks less like a Winslet and more like a Wakefield. Seriously, I feel like this is what an adult Jessica Wakefield would look like if she a) were lucky; b) had lost her gold lavaliere that matched Elizabeth's, which she otherwise wore every day; and c) existed anywhere except the imaginations of people like me, who have heard whispers of a Sweet Valley High adult series and are desperately curious to know how that would work. You just KNOW that Lila Fowler grew up into an Alexis Morrell Carrington Colby Dexter Rowan.

The point being, I can't decide if I like Kate Winslet: Blonde Bombshell, or Kate Winslet: Original Flavor, or both. Actually, if I had my druthers, I'd probably pick Kate Winslet: Titanic Edition, except minus the actual movie. But sometimes in life we don't get to choose.

SJP: Sweet JESUS.

VALENTINO: Yes, isn't he? Darling fellow.

SJP: No, I mean... your skin.

VALENTINO: You mean my face-clothes?

SJP: Yes, if... yes.

VALENTINO: Deep hues are so hot this winter, no?

SJP: Sir, let me put it to you this way: If we were in a coloring book, and someone handed me a box of Crayola 64, I wouldn't know what shade to make your face. There's Sunglow, Tan, Antique Brass, Bittersweet, Burnt Sienna, Burnt Orange, Red Orange, plain old Brown or Orange, Fun In The Sun, Mango Tango, Outrageous Orange, and my personal favorites Neon Carrot and Atomic Tangerine. And ALL of them look more like nature than your face does.

VALENTINO: Your sleeves appear to be disintegrating. Is there a crayon called Moth-Eaten?

SJP: I'm serious, V. I'm worried about you. Did you paint yourself the color of an oven-roasted turkey to be festive? Did someone ask you to bring sweet-potato casserole to dinner this year, and you mistook it to mean that they wanted you to BE a sweet-potato casserole?

VALENTINO: I LOVE casseroles. They're so quaint. Like sweatervests.

SJP: I'm not kidding -- my son carved a pumpkin this Halloween that looks just like you. Are you even LISTENING to me?

VALENTINO: Is that a silver scrunchy on your wrist? Are you a college dorm-room doorknob? Festive! Have you some Fig Newtons? How about a hot plate?

SJP: Oh, forget it. I tried.
