Mr Fug

Michael Madsen is really cleaning up good, don't you think?

You know, if he's cleaning up for a round of Busey Or [Insert Bloated, Strung-Out Actor Here].

:) oooh first commentor.....

F U G L Y - F U G L Y G U Y.

enough said.

sigh, and I have always had a thing for Michael Madsen. He's tall, has a great face and seems dangerous but I don't know if he can come back from this downward spiral. Maybe he should take a cue from John Travolta and look into scientology. Those folks always look fabulous.

What happened? He was the epitome of awesomeness not too long ago.

Is there some sort of cult being forged and everyone who was in True Romance is being forced to join?

So truly sad.

On IMDB he's described as a "malevolent looking, heavy set character actor." Flowing locks: definitely malevolent. Shiny shirt with brightly-colored ladies' faces: not as malevolent.

Mommy!

I hope that serial killer chic is not going to take off as the next Hollywood craze. Now excuse me, I have to I go into hiding!

Why is he wearing the video for "Bang a Gong"...?

He actually looks like a woman actor, I just cannot figure out which one.

OMG is that a mullet? Not that the rest of the ensem isn't ugly enough but yikes, a mullet would be the rotten cherry atop a turd sundae.

Oh man, is that sad. I will always remember him as Mr. Blonde.

Sometimes, when I go downtown, I see this crazy homeless guy. His hair is long and greasy, and his clothes are straight out of the eighties. I've always felt a little sorry for him... but now, seeing his picture on this website, all my sympathy is gone.

Mickey Rorke is looking great.

oh.

HA!

Aside from the strange day-glow shirt and the possible mullet I think he looks pretty badass in that "I'm far too manly to actually care how I look" kind of way.

Yikes!

Hey check out the girls...
http://www.ostrichink.com/march2005/fug.html

they are total cuties!

Is he...on the set of Kill Bill Vol. 2? You know where he played a character who had completely decsended into hopeless trashville and wore just any old thing he picked from a trash bin because there was no one he trying to impress... No? Ohhhhkaaaayyyy....

Actually though, I LOVE his facial expression in this picture. It says, "Yes, I know I look like a dork. You know I look like a dork. The lady across the street knows I look like a dork. So can we just drop it and go get some fuckin' Jack n' Cokes, already?"

oh, nick nolte, where have you been? i loved you in down and out in beverly hills! wow, they let you keep your costume? how awesome!

doesn't he look oddly similar to Ashlee Simpson? just sayin'.

He reminds me of that weird uncle who smells like Brut and Budweiser.

WHAAAATTTTT?

WHAT DID YOU SAY???!

Oh, sorry. I couldn't hear you over his shirt.

My salute to Go Fug Yourself: http://tinyurl.com/6qw6h

Please tell me this was taken in 1987, not 2005! Mullet? Loud, obnoxious-print shirt? Dear Lord!!

Who is this? I thought John Travolta was looking kind of old and pudgy, but this guy is much worse.

Not many outfits can encapsulate a Vegas drug binge, complete with dead mulleted hooker and opium-induced hallucinations. BRAVO.

I feel bad for Tom Sizemore - he's finally the better-looking of these two oddly similar actors and now he's in jail.

but...but...but he's mr. blonde! but....wha happen?

don't you remember, michael? are you going to bark all day little doggy, or are you going to bite? remember that? remember how happy we were then? and you were all hot and, and, and...hot? and you were going to push me up against the wall and make me remember Vegas? remember?

*sob* Michael!!!!

And no, your clear disdain for botox, while admirable, doesn't make it all better.

He's simply getting ready for his upcoming role in "Species 3: Aliens in Las Vegas", only they couldn't get Natasha Henstridge to come back because of budget constraints, so they gave Michael her hair cut. And they really wanted to shoot on the Las Vegas strip, but due to budget constraints, they settled on that shirt.
And only they *really* wanted to get computer graphics for the scary alien-human hybrid, but due to budget constraints they told Michael to bloat up, tan hard, and wear lots of leather because he could do that role too.

Thank you so much for my daily reminder of why we should all Just Say No.

Is he pooping WHILE the picture's being taken?

http://www.livejournal.com/users/tommybarbarella/

All the girls wanna know-who's the cutest guy on Death Row? Mikey,Mikey,Mikey.You are as nutty as Christmas fruitcake, but compared to your other peers in SAG(Screen Addicts Guild),Busey,Sizemore,Penn,(chris)Nolte,Rourke,Robert Downey,Jr,(and let's not forget the latest candidate for a possible future in jail or rehab-mumbling,drunken Oscar winner, Benicio Del Torres,) you are the poster child for sobriety. Of course, you couldn't have been too sober when you wore that shirt,or perhaps that's just what you get when Bobby Trendy is your stylist.

Ha, ha, "is he pooping?" No, Catherine, he ALWAYS squints like that. He thinks it makes him look cool.

"i'm not fat, the shirt's just busy." i've tried that one michael, it doesn't work.

I'm squinting too, but it's because of the shirt.

Does anyone remember Z Cavariccis? That's exactly what he needs to complete this look. He could tuck in his shirt and then do the dance from the "Ice, Ice, Baby" video. That would be so cool.

People please! Let us leave the 80s in the time capsule!

The greasy mullet, the squinty eyes, the cheesy, gold-plated jewelry, the 80s inspired, neon-festooned bowling shirt, and the wife beater underneath, the acid-washed jeans...

Michael is clearly going through a midlife crisis here. The only decent thing about this entire picture is the leather jacket, and maybe somebody took pity on him and loaned it to him so that the photographer wouldn't be blinded by so much fug all on one man.

If this is not the case, then, as Jessica said, he is indeed going for the Gary Busey look. Maybe he's auditioning for the lead role in "All Fugged Up: The Gary Busey Story".

This guy reminds me of a quote I once read about Jack Scalia... "TV tried for 10 years to make Jack Scalia a big star..." Well, Michael Madsen is the Jack Scalia of the movies...

http://blissfullyclueless.blogspot.com/

"Does anyone remember Z Cavariccis?" Please, I've been trying to forget!!!

Does the man even *have* eyebrows?

and no, those ginormous forehead creases don't count.

So *that's* what the horse from Ren and Stimpy is up to these days!
"No, sir. I don't like it." --Mr. Horse

That. shirt. my eyes. Ow. My poor eyes. I have been a victim of scrolldown fug.

*wipes away the blood and looks again, fascinated*
You know, if you stare at that shirt long enough, you start having hallucinations.

This is what happened to him, obviously. Who would pick out this shirt of their own free will?

m.

First off...
""i'm not fat, the shirt's just busy." i've tried that one michael, it doesn't work." This made me sputter out loud.

Also, I'd like to chime in on something. Micheal Madson does not have a mullet. In order for this 'do (if you can even call it that) to be technically called a mullet, it would have to be business on top, party in the back. Micheal does not in fact have business going on in the front, he has the same freaky, greasy, limp-ass part going on as he does in the back. Therefore, not technically a mullet. This 'do is technically, pre-hairspray-metal-band look. Think David Mustaine from Megadeath without the red hair and the heroine problem. Actually, nix the last part...

First off, Michael Madsen was not in True Romance, that was Tom Sizemore. And second, he might have been mighty fine looking in Reservoir Dogs as Mr. Blonde, but let us not forget that he was also in that box office smash...

Free Willy.

I think someone made him go out like this as karmic retribution for that film.

I'm trying to remember where I've seen that shirt before. Oh yeah, I remember. It was on Screetch on "Saved By The Bell".

Ouch.

on http://www.michaelmadsen.com, he lists Free Willy as one of his best films . . "A great film; a good experience; a memorable story. Good family entertainment."

Dave... Dave Coulier?

Wow, CARPEDOG - thank you so much for directing me to michaelmadsen.com - good God, the man is so self-absorbed. Did you know he has his own poetry posted on the site? One of the lines in one of his "poems" is "Yesterday I was the answer to 46 Down - in a crossword puzzle - in the L.A. Times." I don't know what's harder to believe, the fact that he writes poetry or the fact that he managed to do the crossword puzzle. Actually, for all we know, he may have just gotten that one answer in the crossword...

OK I have gotten over my initial - and considerable - fright (which I am chalking up to my CSI addiction). This is almost as scary as the shirtless Arnold photo on Defamer or Daniel Baldwin at the end of Celebrity Fit Club.

Blackirish, BisNation, Missdirected and M(megabrillant name check on Z Cavaricci) Mad props - ya'll are truly in top form today. I am LMAO and may be unemployed soon if I do not close the door to my office.

Thanks for the link to michaelmadsen.com. Got to seem some lovely photos of Michael looking very hot instead of this horrible stuff. Didn't know he was Virginia Madsen's brother... And I didn't take the time to check the poetry.

Yes, that's a horrible shit and yes, he has taken a *few* unfortunate roles,
but would I drop everything to throw him down and have my way with him?!!?
You betcha! This man is smoking hot!

I can't help it. Even in this cheesy, fake-gold adorned greasy-haired fug encrustedness, I still think Michael Madsen is HOT.

Well isn't he just the aging hipster...

greasy, middle aged mullet-check.
hideous leather trench/jacket that seems more like a payless look-a-like-check
a sauvo-rico shirt that incorporates the cheese of both Miami and Vegas-check

my. we could have ourselves a Walker, Texas Ranger extra

His shirt is either writhing in agony or trying desperately to emulate Boy George in terms of fruity awesomeness. And that hair. 'Escape from LA', the disco version? Hideous.

http://www.geocities.com/adalmin

Ninag: you'd have to get by me first!

maybe it's because he's one of the few really tall actors in Hollywood. I am perennially disappointed to find out that an actor I could fantasize about (Clooney, Banderas, or Bloom for that matter) is tiny in real life.

It looks like Andy Warhol threw up on his shirt.

Michael. *sob* You just fucking ruined ten years of torrid sexual fantasies.

Don't look now, but I think he's wearing hair extentions.

I just LOVE this site, it really takes the piss out of "celebrity".

The posted defenses of these celebrities are fricking HILARIOUS especially the Ashlee support ("she has her own "style" yeah right).

Hey all you celebrity worshipping Star/People/InTouch readers, CELEBRITY IS AN ILLUSION, a farking construct.

While ya'll post meaningless opinions on CELEBRITIES with questionable "talent" at best. You're getting reamed by the same media cramming this garbage down your throat.

Jeebus at least ask these "celebs" to have SOME talent.

Ladies, ladies, ladies...let me just start out by saying that I do not blame you for posting this photo...I have seen the shirt and I saw spots for nearly two days.

but, let's try to remember...one really, really, really bad photo of a really, really, really bad shirt does not the man make! Don't you remember the electric blue suit??? I have to say that a lot of the comments made me snigger out loud, and as a "friend" of his..I have tried to get him to STOP w/the man jewelry...to no avail!

The plain simple fact of the matter is...HE IS HOT.

P.S. The really, really, really ugly extensions are for the upcoming Quentin Tarantino movie...not just making excuses - he is not a fan of them either.

P.P.S. Kudos to him for skipping botox - at least someone in Hollywood looks like a real person.

Braveheart's degenerate younger brother.

Thank Fug that isn't his hairstyle of choice. I would have had to cry tears of embarrassment for him.

Michael, Michael, Michael. I thought you were once one of the hottest guys on the silver screen. Albeit the slightly tarnished "B" silver screen and the really needs some ol' elbow grease to clean it "C" silver screen. You still fueled naughty little fantasies of you bedroom eyes as you flicked away your cig and walked toward me in that manly way you have and had your dirty little way with me. DAMN YOU! *SOB* Now, I think I'd run the other way if I saw you with that hair and that bloat and that shirt and the squint.

Let's talk about the squint for a sec, shall we? Allow me to say, "No sir!" Sorry Mikey, but only Mr. Eastwood can carry off the squint.

SIGH. Another one bites the dust. Er, another fantasy that is.

P.S. Girls, fabulous article about GFY.

Hey, look! Nick Nolte has a little brother! I await the mug shot (fug shot).

Busey, Nolte, and Madsen...the Holy Trinity of "WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED?"

How the hell can the reservoir dog man have gone this WRONG!!

I dying to know what the "merchandise" that's presumably for sale on his site might be.

"And these are my Michael Madsen placemats, and look, in here you see my Michael Madsen shower curtain, and then in the baby's room, look - we put up the Michael Madsen mobile with the little cut-outs of his head, and did you see the Michael Madsen On Board sign in the window of my car?"

I can't wait till he gets it up and running again. His site, that is.

I think aiming the "fug" cam at this man is misguided...
Fashion laws only pertain to those who care what other people think.
MM has paid the cost to be boss-
He is the genuine article-HALLELUAH!

I used to have a crush on him. Now, this picture has cured me.

his sister is virginia madsen of sideways. they look like twins!

IMHO, Madsen reached his own personal pinnacle of hotness in Thelma & Louise...as did Brad Pitt. It's all been down hill from there.

So many comments, so little time...

"'Escape from LA', the disco version?"

The visual I got from this quote is so awesome, I can not tell you how much glee I recieved...

"Sorry Mikey, but only Mr. Eastwood can carry off the squint"

Uhm, not lately. I mean, have you seen the man lately? Dirty Harry and doing so swell there chief. There's a photo of him somewhere in the go fug yourself archives that proves the old addage really was true "If you keep making that face, it'll get stuck like that forever"

And lastly...
"And these are my Michael Madsen placemats, and look, in here you see my Michael Madsen shower curtain, and then in the baby's room, look - we put up the Michael Madsen mobile with the little cut-outs of his head, and did you see the Michael Madsen On Board sign in the window of my car?"

Sad thing is, I totally want that stuff. A Michael Madsen mobile? Come on, that's just plain genius. Somebody get in on that. Like now.

Mr Blonde with scarecrow hair and wearing a satin shirt that Andy Warhol threw up on! No!

Mr Madsen, I can forgive a few extra pounds - even if they look like pregnancy poundage - because you've got a crinkly smile, and you were Mr Blonde for fuck's sake! But why must you model your hair after Hugh Jackman's Van Helsing hair extension debacle? Why must you dress yourself in clothes you obviously found in a homeless person’s shopping cart?

I wouldn’t have sex with you now if I were whiskey drunk, and that’s saying something ‘cause I’m easy!

i figured it out, guys. his shirt is supposed to be one of those 3d magic tricks where you touch your nose to the monitor and then slowly pull back...if you make your eyes swim out of focus a little, you will see the superimposed image of a bottle of vicodin.

Good God! Those colors, the shine, the sheen on the whole thing is too much. Is anyone else picturing some aqua type aligator cowboy boots to complete the "outfit"? Oh, just me?

Are those Hair Extensions?!
First, David Cassidy's floppy wig in the upcoming movie "Popstar," and now THIS?
Too much Hair Apparent for a Tuesday night. I must go lie down...

Extensions!! That's the first thing i thought too.

Did he do this for a movie?
Is that movie called un-named Kato Kalen project?
Johnnie Cochran just turned over in his grave.

Too soon?

Alright, how bout this,
If the hair don't fit, you must quit!

Sorry Jonnie.

Okay, I first have to say that I've been sick with the flu for the past five days. Not just any flu but the kind that makes you wish for mercy killings. Five days that passed with me lying beneath a pile of blankets and throws wishing my fever would go below 103. I gave my three year old my hearty blessings in her desire to decorate the walls with glitter glue and permanent markers if it meant she would LEAVE ME ALONE. (Don't worry, daddy didn't like her color choice, so the walls are still safe).

I got out of bed this evening and looked myself in the mirror and then signed on to this site and saw this picture. I look so much better than he does, and it's been so long since I brushed my hair that my follicles have gone native. After seeing that shirt though, I realize I'm still too sick to be looking at fugliness, so I have to go back and lie down again.

Akshully, I'd *love* that fabric if it were silk charmeuse and were a pair of pajamas. (For me, I mean, not for Michael Madsen.) It's very Nicole Miller... which makes it totally wrong for him.

He looks half-drunk, raunchy, with a pot-belly hidden under that only-fit-for-Mardi-Gras shirt. Then again, after realising Bud (his character in Kill Bill) can have the above kind of expression and look and still coolly pump someone with rock salt pellets and bury them alive, I won't dare say the above in his face. =)

Anyone who writes poetry that bad deserves that horrible hairstyle and that tacky shirt.

Oh, the anger
Oh, the rage
You suck so loud,
I have to turn the page...

Hey, at least he is a man that is not afraid of color.

Oh...he used to be so hot. Now, he looks like John Lithgow special guest starring on The Soprano's as Tony's sleazy cousin

He looks kind of like Nick Nolte there.

I'm sorry, but Madsen has not reached the psycho-fug status of Nolte or Busey and moreover I don't think there's enough Wild Turkey or cocaine on the planet to get him there...true the shirt and extensions are misguided, but easily removed, and I'll never give up my "Stuck in the Middle With You" Mr. Blonde fantasy. Sigh...

Just in case anybody is keen on rocking their own Michael Madsen party shirt, I can tell you that it is, indeed, from Versace.

Linda Evangelista famously modelled a related pop-art-style jumpsuit for Versace. Marilyn Monroe's portrait was sequined all over the rear.

But that was in 1990.

And you, Michael, are no ass of Linda Evangelista's.

god help me, I still want him...it's that "come to me and I will abuse you before I ravish you" look.

the vag cannot be reasoned with.

where are his eyebrows?

craptastic, drmack'n,hilarious!bis nation,yeah I agree, a Michael Madsen mobile or placemat be just the thang to perk up my humble abode. Erika,Ninag,Carpedog-the line forms to the left, y'all!! Mike can Do me like Bell, Biv Devoe(the song, not the singers)And Cow-re the vag-I can only think of the first Teminator movie-with Kyle Reese now telling Sarah Connor,something like, "It can not be reasoned with,it can not be bargained with, and it will not stop coming until you are laid!" God help us all.

DAMN! And I used to think he was hawt.

gee, you guys really p_iss me off.. did any of you think just for one moment.... that Mr. Madsen, may have to be like that for a coming film.????
I do recall simular comments from posters a few years back when Benicio del toro had to gain like 40+ pounds for his ROLE IN FEAR AND LOATHING IN L.VEGAS... think about it..
engage your brains before you open your mouths.please!!!
lunathread.

He's got to wear the extensions for a film - we know that. The shirt is just a naked ploy to distract us from the extensions. And the apologetic look on his face tells us he's really hoping this will work, and at the same time knows it clearly hasn't.

I feel sorry for him. Strip away the disastrous trapppings (yes please), and Yes please.

Fugtastic...but still hot.

AAAAAAAAAAGH!!!!!!!!

This reminds me of the last blind date I had.

Unfortunately I'm NOT blind.

So I'm sure nobody will read this, but I'm checking out the newspaper today and I see this same exact shirt, and, get this, it's Versace. Not only is it fug, it's intentional designer fug. I think I need to lie down...

Holy mother of God, I hope he did this for a movie.

He looks like the mom in Danny Devito's movie: Throw Momma from the Train. Exactly.
