Fug the Cover: Kate Hudson and Anne Hathaway

random-ass magazines

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.

W magazine

I can't wait to get this issue in the mail, if only because "Beverly Hills Derms Battle for Supremacy" sounds hilarious, almost like a parody of a W article, and I've been trying to lose a couple of ice-cream-sandwiches- and-hot-dog-induced summertime pounds so that my jeans fit right again and the idea of a $1,000 skin cream is enough to totally put me off my feed! Does that skin cream also wash my dishes and manage my mutual funds? Because otherwise, I imagine that even the richest, most frivolous woman might look at that price tag and think, "screw that. I'm sticking with La Mer and dropping the other $800 on shoes." While, obviously, the rest of us -- not W's target demographic -- would look at that price tag and think, "or I could pay my bills, you assholes." I am dying to see what Glossed Over says about this issue, because I am scared I might not have the intestinal fortitude to actually read it, seeing as just the cover is getting me all worked up. Also working me up: the idea that they've got an interview with Tilda Swinton in here and still decided to put Kate Hudson on the cover in disguise as an 80s robot car-hop, programmed to stab you to death with the straw from your malted. If Tilda Swinton were on the cover styled thusly, we'd all be like, "Oh, TILDA. You are a kooky, artsy delight! Tell me more about your unconventional romances! You please me!" As it is, my reaction is more along the lines of, "Kate Hudson, you poseur. Nice try." Kate Hudson's entire career is built on being the opposite of being edgy and while in general I appreciate taking things in a new direction, this is like the magazine cover equivalent of that time Denise Richards played a nuclear physicist: hilarious, annoying, and a valiant attempt to ask the public to suspend entirely too much disbelief. Baby steps, Kate. Try dark nail polish first. Then maybe one day we'll be able to look at you all tarted up like a programmed killer escaped from an undiscovered Robert Palmer video and not giggle at you.

Fool's Fug...Kind Of

KATE HUDSON: Pose, Matthew! Pose! STRIKE IT!

MATT MCCONAWHOOLAHAY: I am posing. This is my Blue Steel.

KATE: You look so handsome in a suit. I'm used to seeing you running around without a shirt on. You're WAY TAN, dude.

MATT: Dude. I'm outdoorsy. I'm constantly stoked and wowed by nature, you know? Of course I have a tan. I'm not some kind of uptight desk monkey, man.

KATE: This pose hurts my chin.

MATT: I'm scared of your dress.

KATE: What do you mean? The color is amazing!

MATT: Yeah. It is. But those sleeves. And those thingers on the end of the sleeves, man. They're like....chains.

KATE: Yeah, they're cool. Right?

MATT: What if you get mad at me and whip me across the face with one of them? That would hurt, man. That would not be cool.

KATE: Do you really think I would do that?

MATT: Shit's unpredictable, man. Shit's unpredictable.

KATE: You got so weird, living in that trailer.

Sometimes I feel like it's probably a bit hard to be Goldie Hawn. Laying aside the still-hot life partner, the money she's banked from all those movies, and a history of national adoration for her nutty personality, she's also the mother of her own replacement. Kate Hudson evokes her so strongly, it's like watching Version 2.0 come along and render you obsolete, consigning you to a life in someone's junk drawer while they play with the pretty new model that has video and is lighter. And now I want to go hug my second generation iPod and tell it that everything will be okay, and it did a good job, and that it's not personal.

But, back to Kate and Goldie. This is what Kate wore to the Elle Style Awards last night:

Vogue just did a whole piece about how Kate Bosworth is the embodiment of effortless chic, but I think in many ways they had the wrong Kate. Not that Bosworth is bad, but I think Hudson is by and large better at it. She doesn't look like she's trying as hard. Granted, this isn't my favorite thing she's ever worn -- the creases in it from sitting in the car make the fabric look weirdly thick and springy, like those sheets of foam that movers sometimes use to wrap stuff before they lug it out the door and down your tight spiral staircase -- but I get what she was going for, and she looks comfortable and not overdone.

The point, though, is not so much whether I like or dislike it, but that it's essentially the upgraded, more polished version of what Goldie wore in Berlin a few days earlier:

Fug's Gold

I am very fond of a ruffle. Especially a saucy neck ruffle. Very fond indeed. Perhaps overly fond. But I can't help it. I also like polka dots. So take this opinion of mine with a hefty grain of salt, as usual. But here goes: Mayhap, PERCHANCE, a giant neck ruffle is NOT a great plan when Los Angeles is in the middle of a huge, blustery windstorm:

Aw, that's almost adorable in that Alexis Morrell Carrington Colby Dexter Dexter Rowan kind of way, and the color is fantastic on her. Also, this frock could come in handy if Kate Hudson decides to become a flamenco dancer on a whim. You never know.

And then, the action shot:

SAG Awards Fug Or Fab: Kate Hudson

The first thing that strikes me about this photo is how much Kate Hudson looks like her mother:

The second thing is how pale and wan and unenthusiastic she looks. The third thing is that I feel like she wears this sort of dress ALL THE TIME. There is certainly something to be said for wearing a style of clothes that works for you -- which is why I wear so many turbans -- but there is MORE to be said for wearing something that doesn't prompt the reaction, "is this picture from like six years ago?"

The first time I saw this photo from the premiere of The Skeleton Key, I was a bit concerned:

No doubt, Kate Hudson is rocking that sheer beaded sheath -- she looks scandalous, but in an undeniably hot way. Unfortunately, at first I couldn't divorce the dress from all the unpleasant Geena Davis flashbacks it brought on, which left me quivering in fear that the lady would see Goldie Jr. sexing it up in this dress and decide it would be okay to resurrect her old transparent couture. And I'm not mentally ready for that.

But even with my fear of The Geena Factor, I'm now singing the praises of the above outfit, because I've seen what Kate changed into for the afterparty:
