And here we go! You will notice that Madonna has curiously ended up in the bracket we've named after everyone's favorite swan-misappropriater. We placed people into brackets at random -- so as not to taint the sanctity of Fug Madness, obviously -- and that's simply where she landed. I'm sure she's enraged about it somewhere -- and will probably take it out on her opponent, scrappy little Miley Cyrus. Other potential highlights: Katie (Holmes) versus Katie ("Jordan" Price), pantless wonder and hot mess Mischa Barton versus up and comer Teyana Taylor and, of course, the battle at which they each perhaps find their next spouse, eight seed Kate Bosworth versus super strong nine seed, Mickey Rourke. I certainly hope we're invited to the wedding.
Reminder: Please don't freak out if your favorite -- or least-favorite -- Fug Hound didn't make the list. Remember that we're ONLY judging people by what they wore in the one-year eligibility period, from March 1, 2008 to Feb. 28, 2009. But nobody's perfect. Sometimes we forget people exist; sometimes, our opinions of how bad they were aren't going to match yours. Hey, it happens -- the actual NCAA selection committee has the same problems. So just kick back, relax, enjoy the games, and imagine that your missing favorite is out there somewhere playing in the Fug NIT, leading the charge of the also-rans and praying for a more auspicious and publicly terrible year to come.
