Emmy Rossum

Emmy Fuggum

Ever since the story of Emmy Rossum's secret marriage, public divorce, and odd-coupling with Adam Duritz hit the press, we've heard various gossipy tidbits here and there from people who say she is a total pill who is OBSESSED with both bragging and complaining about how interesting she's pretty sure everyone thinks she is.

Well, Emmy, I hate to break it to you, honey, but:

You are not, and never will be, THIS interesting.

Well Played, Emmy Rossum

It certainly is interesting that Emmy Rossum is suddenly everywhere, in the wake of the Public Divorce from her Secret Husband. I'd hypothesize that she's looking for Secret Husband Number Two, but she's dating Adam Duritz and neither one of them is being secretive about it, perhaps because that relationship has gotten them more press than either of them has had in years. Don't you feel like Ex-Mr-Rossum is sitting at home reading People, and being like, "REALLY? THAT GUY? FROM COUNTING CROWS? Huh." Which is part of the reason I would not want to be a celebrity. In addition to bitches making fun of my awesome outfits, I'd have to see my ex-boyfriends splashed on the front of US Weekly, all "HE FINALLY SETTLES DOWN," while I'm just trying to buy a Slurpee. But as much as I have enjoyed cracking on La Rossum in the past, I must admit that I think this is rather pretty:

I like the color, the ruffle is sort of visually intriguing, it fits her nicely, and the styling is refreshingly understated. She neither looks like a doll, nor as though she just stumbled off the pole. Points to Rossum. THIS time. Enjoy it while it last, kid.

Phantom of the Fugera

Oh my god, you guys. Emmy Rossum is ALIVE:

And she's in a Dragonball movie which has had its release date moved three times. THINGS ARE GOING GREAT.  Poor child. I almost feel sorry for her. Remember when she was the next big thing? And then we all learned that she couldn't complete a movie and breathe through her nose at the same time? Seriously. Now that I've alerted you to her mouth-breathing tendencies, you will never be able to watch Poseidon again without seeing only that, which is a shame because that movie is HILARIOUS. It's kind of like how I had to stop watching that show Reaper because Heather once pointed out to me that the lead dude's mouth hangs open in literally every scene and now I can't take it anymore. Is that show even still on? I do love Ray Wise and he was pretty great in it, so I want him to be working, at least. Remember when he was Laura Palmer's dad? Boy, did he scare me in Twin Peaks. I wonder what I should have for lunch. What am I even talking about right now? Oh, right: poor Emmy.  She really doesn't hold your attention, does she? Even if she is wearing what seems like a formerly beautiful dress that she's MacGyvered (or MacGrubered, rather, since it went so badly) for increased skankitude, therefore ruining it and also inviting people to spend the whole evening stepping on her tail.  Will she EVER win?

How sad am I that security wouldn't let us get anywhere near the front rows at Calvin Klein? For that reason I missed the sassy anecdote that I'm SURE should accompany this photo of Lauren Hutton:

I hope she's saying, "What the hell is with these jumpsuit cuffs? Am I on death row? I DON'T THINK SO."

-- Also at Thursday's Calvin Klein show: Miss Tyra totally stole all the thunder and a paparazzo yelled at Rachel Zoe. I never thought I'd feel bad for her, but lo and behold, my heart grew three sizes that day.

-- We were very concerned that Anna Wintour's longtime boyfriend's daughter might go into labor in the middle of the Vera Wang show. That would make one hell of a review: "So good, my water broke!" Also, does that make Anna a step-grandmother of sorts? I'm sure the very thought gives her the vapors.

-- At Phi, Emmy Rossum wore dominatrix shoes. Also, in typing up that story, I kept mistyping the word "public" as "pubic," and then I would notice the typo and go in to fix it and type "pubic" AGAIN. WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME?

-- Cynthia Rowley tried to kill everyone at her show. She may not have REALIZED that's what was going on, but seriously, anyone who wasn't Julia Stiles or Tatum O'Neal put his or her life on the line just trying to get into a seat.

-- Diane Kruger didn't bring Pacey to Tommy Hilfiger. HOW DARE SHE DO THAT TO US?
Let's see....what happened yesterday? We did not end up stuck in an elevator with Anna Wintour. (If this happens, I plan to talk to her about tennis.) We did not talk our ways into a cameo on Gossip Girl (I want to play the crafty blogger who makes out with Chuck as a way to help him make Blair jealous).  We did not trip out of our high heels and land in the laps of any luminaries. However, we did see this:

"Hee hee! Tell me again how pretty I am, Mr. de la Renta. TELL ME!" If you can only have one celeb at a show, it might as well be Ms Lo.

Also included with purchase:

Emmy Rossum + Leighton Meester = I don't know how to feel.

It turns out that Lauren Conrad is lovely in person and Lo looks like she's about to tell you to f' off.  And, in fact, probably wants to, at least in my case.

Blake Lively was very pretty at Michael Kors, but could she outshine BETTE FREAKING MIDLER? What do you think?

Oh, Amy Lee. Your name rhymes with Anna Sui. And how crazy you be.

Fug or Fab: Emmy Rossum

Back in the day, we totally poured down hell on Emmy Rossum for alway going out of the house dressed like the twee-est little porcelain doll you ever saw, as well as for her inability to close her mouth, like, EVER, during The Phantom of the Opera. And it seems that in the interim, she's made some changes to her look:

82578236.jpg

I can hear her now. "I'll show them! What's the opposite of prim and proper? LEATHER. YES. LEATHER. And EYELINER! But if we could get the leather in a really sweet shift dress? That'd be great. NOT TOO SHORT OR LOW CUT! I mean, REALLY SEX IT UP. But don't."

All things considered, of course, I think she actually does look rather cute. It's just amusing to me that after like 20 years of frilly poofy things in lollipop colors, she's popped up in black leather. Our little girl's all growed up.

Fuggy Rossum

MEREDITH: Well, hello, Emmy, it's lovely to see you.

EMMY: You too, except... aren't you... We ARE attending the same event, right? Are you maybe a little underdressed?

MEREDITH: Well, I don't know about that, I think I look smart-casually chic, actually.

EMMY: How nice for you.

MEREDITH: Listen, honey, I'm in news. I like looking clean and smart. I don't need to look like Princess Gumdrop of Sugartown.

EMMY: Thank you!

MEREDITH: That wasn't a compliment. Tell me: Are you in costume as Glinda the Good Witch?

EMMY: No, I...

MEREDITH: Are you at the Oscars? The prom? A coronation?

EMMY: No. But I AM at a gala. You can't overdress for anything that calls itself a gala.

MEREDITH: Oh, but you're trying as hard as you can! Man, I wish someone would drop a house on that dress.

EMMY: Actually, that wasn't Glinda, that was...

MEREDITH: Can it, Peaches. You get the point. Are we done here?

EMMY: Buy my album!

MEREDITH: Yep... we're SO done here.

Fug Me Down

I assume Emmy Rossum is so excited because her CD is coming out, and her music video is being splashed all over the Interwebs. Certainly it's not the overly boring and wrinkly shift she's wearing, which is a great color but which sucks all the youth out of her.

Aside from Dakota Fanning, Emmy is pretty much the youngest little old lady in the business. In a way, though, that's apt, since she's churning out the sort of quasi-New Age music that you'd expect to hear a bunch of crones relaxing to while they get their salt scrubs in Palm Springs. It's like Enya, with a tad of Imogen Heap thrown in to give it an illusion of hipness. Her voice is hugely overproduced, considering that she's a classically trained singer. And the video... is magic.

And because it's been a long week here at GFY HQ and possibly a rough one for some of you out there, we'd like to borrow a little something from those wry geniuses at The Daily Show and present Emmy's music video to you -- after the jump -- as this week's Fugment of Zen.

Emmy Fuggum

I like to eat meringues. I don't love to see dresses made in their image.

The bottom part looks like it's inflatable, but that she got bored mid-puff and bolted for the red carpet. Somebody please pop it.

The Fug After Tomorrow

Dear Emmy Rossum,

Look at you! You are a very, very pretty girl, and you're very naturally slender, which makes you lucky. And you have great curl formation, which... suck on it, bitch, but first pass the product my way.

But that's neither here nor there. I have a more important question (aside from, "Um, are you at a Hollywood event, or are you a bridesmaid?). And that is: Are you eating?

Now, I get it -- weight fluctuates naturally; stress leads to weight loss; Jake Gyllenhaal wasn't good about feeding you rich soups while you were languishing in that library with him during The Day After Tomorrow... All these things make sense, i suppose.

But really, I just want to make sure you're not Mary-Kating yourself into oblivion, because that wasn't really good for anyone. I mean, all the fat twin wanted was to make some more caper movies, and now she's relegated to being The Sister Whose Name Hasn't Become A Verb -- in addition to being stuck in a career that will no doubt be confined to starring with MK in very special Lifetime Original Movies. Like Once Bitten, Twice High, about twins who get hooked on crack but are saved from their dealer (Kirk Cameron, as you've never seen him) by Bill Cosby, their gruff but lovable neighbor, and their kindly doctor Neil Patrick Harris, in a role you've seen him in before, but before all those other roles that were parts you'd never seen him in before.

Anyway... What was I saying? Oh, right: Just make sure that the next time the Phantom of the Opera kidnaps you and drags you into his dungeon, he offers you up some nice, butter-laden French cuisine and crusty bread while you're forced to watch him frantically and repeatedly, er, play his pipe organ.

Eat.

Cheers,
Heather
