Almost Fugmous

I feel you, Kate.

I'd ALSO be bummed if my pal Stella McCartney could only be arsed to cough up this tired old stale-feeling jumpsuit (I assume it's from her, anyway, since you're at Stella's Fashion's Night Out bash). But look at it this way: At least you're not one of the umpteen celebrities wearing sheer skirts. And if your taxi breaks down and you need to change a tire or check the oil, you can do it in great comfort without leaving any telltale marks on your clothes. See? Silver linings everywhere.

So, we got this cover shot several times from a variety of our lovely Australian readers, and I meant to get to it before now, but...I don't know what happened. You know how it goes. You're minding your own business, just standing in front of the fridge for hours and eating peanut butter from a spoon, and then before you know it, the week is out and you didn't get nearly as much done as you intended and your pants don't fit anymore. Here's the thing: Kate Hudson is as cute as a basket of babies. THIS GIRL is cute too, but she's much pointier and more neckless than K. Hud and, call me crazy, but do any of us take a photo in the hopes that we'll turn out with less neck? Generally, the answer is no.  On the other hand, I clearly need to read about what guys think of my outfits. Right now, my guess is that they're thinking, "damn. That girl has peanut butter all down the front of her shirt."
Ooooh, so close.

These pants are doing us all the great service of illustrating how easily an unflattering cut can add like ten pounds to your body, even if you are in like crazy great celebrity shape obtained only through the magical combination of three hour work-outs and magical genes. I'm not quite sure what happened here, but, first of all, I think Kate's pants are a little too short.  Add that to the shiny white fabric, the cut of the leg, and the place on her body where that boxy blazer hits, and somehow she looks like she gained whole bunch of weight overnight -- which I think is unlikely, although I have felt that way myself after a particularly vigorous go at the hot wings and beer. (Sometimes, the only thing that can save a rough week is some wings, you know?) I am not sure how I would fix this, other than not wearing the jacket and the pants together EVER EVER again. Because I feel like the jacket could be cute with a skirt that shows some leg, and the pants might be okay with a different shoe and a more body conscious top. OR -- here's a great idea -- maybe she should just wear this again:

DEMI MOORE: Hahahahahaha!

KATE HUDSON: Hahahahahah...wait, what are we laughing at?

DEMI: Oh, NOTHING!

KATE: Really? You seem so MERRY.

DEMI: Well, yes. I can't help it. I am INSANELY HOT and appear to only get HOTTER as the years tick by. Wouldn't YOU be happy too? Especially if you knew that there was simply no argument as to your hotness?

KATE: Is there argument as to my hotness?

DEMI: Maybe not your hotness...but certainly your dress.

Fug or Fab: Kate Hudson

Here's my scandal: I love sequins. I love them. I own a sequined cocktail dress, a sequined tank top, and a sequined scarf. I just bought a sequined tee shirt from ShopBop (which is having a massive sale. You're welcome. Or, I'm sorry). I even like the word. SEQUINS. It's fun to say. When I finally achieve my most wished-for goal and marry Jon Hamm, I plan to name our first-born daughter Sequin Hamm. (Maybe not.) I am a sequinaholic and I realized that has (possibly quite literally) blinded me to Kate Hudson's crimes:

In fairness: there is A LOT GOING ON HERE. She kind of looks as though she's recently escaped from a remake of Gold Diggers of 1935, in which she is playing the gold. I hate the hair, and I am lukewarm on the shirt. (I am taking the shoes home with me when I leave, though.) I must confess, I love the skirt and the cardigan (I know, it sort of looks like a cape, but on further inspection, I am convinced that it has sleeves). HOWEVER. I am not TOTALLY CRAZY (yet: wait for the end of Fug Madness). I think she probably should not have worn them together. But seriously, the skirt with a black turtleneck? Would be cute, right? And the cardigan with, like, jeans or something? Cute, right? RIGHT? RIGHT?

Fug the Cover: Kate Hudson

katehud.jpg

This little gem comes courtesy of our friends at Girl With a Satchel, and may I be so bold as to wonder what the people over at Aussie Cosmo are smoking, and why it prompts them to use so very many different fonts? Also, obviously, I would like to know what happened to poor Kate's face here. That doesn't seem to be the chin I imagine her wearing (in all the time I spend thinking about Kate Hudson's face, which is not as much as this post would suggest, in that I hardly think about it at all), and I think we can ALL imagine what Miss Tyra would say about her neck, or lack thereof. None of this, of course, is Kate's fault: I suspect that someone over at the magazine got so distracted by the headline "Sex GPS: Take the scenic ride to Mount Pant-orama" that they didn't notice what, exactly, they had done to her in that one fated moment of Photoshoppery and by the time they recovering from the eye-rolling, it was too late. Mount Pant-orama is where I buy jeans, by the way. The deals are exceptional, but the altitude will kill you.
You can not expect me to believe that this was the best option Kate Hudson had last night:

84206577.jpg

For one thing, the skirt portion appears to be incredibly dirty. And I'm pretty sure she didn't get into a knockdown drag-out on the red carpet that spilled over into the gutter, so....color me perplexed. For another, this seems to be drifting dangerously close to looking like something from Dorothy Zbornak's evening wear line, to the point where I half expect to see that the next picture of her in the press room involves her biting her fist in front of a giant wedge of cheesecake. Looks like those of you who picked Kate in our Who Will Look Most Ridiculous At the People's Choice Awards pool have a good argument for taking home the prize (bragging rights, and half a tuna sandwich). Congrats!
Man, we are doing a lot of double-dipping so far this year. I think it's because Hollywood had pretty much ground to a halt over the holidays and is only just revving up its engine again. Bless the People's Choice Awards and Golden Globes for being right around the corner. The only thing that will soothe my heart in these trying times is some majorly extravagant wackitude.

Anyway, let's get back to Kate Hudson and her press tour for the execrable-looking Bride Wars. Here's what she showed up in for a David Letterman interview:

On the one hand: Sparkly! On the other, it reminds me a tad too much of the really ugly interpretive stained-glass windows in one of the churches my mom used to go to -- and generally my first reaction to a person's dress shouldn't be acid flashbacks to me kneeling in prayer, begging a higher power to stop the death-obsessed priest from giving long-winded, tragic sermons about children with no internal organs, or families who were eaten by sharks. None of which made me want to love my neighbor as much as lock myself in the house with a bag of Doritos.

Fug or Fab: Kate Hudson

So....Kate Hudson. On one hand, I think she's essentially not much of an actor. On the other, I have to acknowledge that she IS charming, and -- let's be honest --- I do watch How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days every time it's on cable. And I kind of feel like Charismatic But Not a Great Actress is a better pigeonhole to wake up in than Technically Talented And Stultifying, or something. So I am torn on her.  What I am not torn on is how she appears to be doing her best J. Lo impression here, and that, ergo, her expression is hilarious: 

84179940.jpg

Whither the mink eyelashes, Kate? I am also not torn on Bride Wars: it looks awful. AWFUL. Awful in the kind of way that makes you mad that people think women actually act like that, outside of the occasional episode of Bridezillas, and at this point I think we all know that like 65% of the women on Bridezillas are playing to the cameras. I spent the entire trailer wanting to grab both Anne Hathaway and Kate Hudson and tell them to CHILL OUT AND HAVE THE WEDDING SOMEWHERE ELSE, GOD.  And then to ask Kate why she thought the bangs she's sporting in the movie were a good idea. And then ask the Powers That Be if they're nervous that releasing a movie that appears to be about spoiled girls who will die if their Plaza Wedding goes awry during These Economic Times is maybe not going to play as well as it might have a couple of years ago. And I want to ask YOU, dear reader, how this dress hits you. I suspect there's something about it that's a bit too close to being a court jester, and yet I think I might like it.

Uh, this is awkward. Where to begin? Well, as one of the readers who alerted us to this pointed out, Kate Hudson could NOT have been more awkwardly Photoshopped into this scenario. I'm not even sure if that's actually HER. It might just be a Kate Hudson look-a-like, or a Kate Hudson cardboard stand-up which someone stole from the marketing department of whatever movie studio is producing the film in which she, apparently, is starring as one of the Real Housewives of Orange County. That would also explain why Hathaway is giving us that knowing, "KILL ME NOW" smirk. Also, perhaps because after suffering The Break-Up Of The Year, the last thing she wants to do is talk about weddings. If I were her, I would be asking my publicist if I could pose on the cover of, like, Can We Stop Talking About My Break-Up Monthly, or Yes, I DID Handle That Well; Let's Talk About Global Warming Or Whatever Now Weekly or Probably Just Going To Be Single For a While, But Don't Worry About Me, I'm Cool Review. That magazine has great book reviews, by the way.  In case you were wondering.
