If you've spent any time at all on GFY prior to RIGHT NOW, the celeb outfits will not be foreign to you. Old -- I think this ran originally while we were out of town -- but still amusing. (Mental Floss)
-- Remember how we were originally bewailing having no idea what was going to happen on Mischa Barton's Awful-But-Canceled The Beautiful Life:TBL? Ask and ye shall receive spoilers. (Hollywood Crush)
