Emmy Fug Carpet: Jane Kaczmarek

I understand that Jane Kaczmarek had a baby, but I don't understand why she decided to emaciate herself afterward:

She looks slim in the body, but her face looks downright... wrong. It's too narrow somehow. Maybe Bradley Whitford, caught up in one of the endless tight squeezes he gives her to show the world They Are Married And Are Hollywood's Real Love Story, hugged too hard and crushed her skull. Not sure. It's also possible he likes to sit on the porch at night and strum her neck cords, so she dieted herself a neck ukelele.

If you have, er, sharp features, then you shouldn't lose too much weight (see: Cox, Courteney), or else people will start trying to slice bread with your nose or chin. If you have hair, any hair, you shouldn't go all SeƱorita Lucille Ball with it. Ever. And if you have access to this dress, you shouldn't wear it. After staring at this photograph for thirty seconds, I immediately got the teeth-gnashing accordion melody "Lady of Spain" in my head, and that pretty much sealed Lady Jane's fug fate.

I'm one of those people who just likes Jennifer Garner, for whatever reason, and doesn't really care who she's boffing as long as she's happy.

I do, however, care about reckless uses of doilies and sashes:

She looks like a karate bride; a black-belt in ancient and sacret art of Pulling A Scarlett O'Hara With Granny's Best Lace Curtains. Whoever told her to cinch the dress ought to be slapped. I'm sure tomorrow I'll find out that the scarf belonged to a dead relative/starving child/Ben Affleck, and that she wore it as a tribute, but even if that's true, I maintain that the honoree would take one look at her deployment of said tribute scarf and weep tears of sartorial grief.

And if those are flat shoes under there, and if the dress indeed has the hidden trouser element at which it hints in this photo, then she's going on my list. All the Krav-Maga in the world can't defeat a vigorous fugging.

Oh, Jen. Can't we go back to the days when ill-fitting corsets and the ensuing quadra-boob were your only problems?

Those poor girls from Eight Simple Rules... They have some serious issues. I'm not talking about Dealing With The Tragic Death of Jack Tripper, although, yes, that was sad and I was sad about it then and am still sad about it now, because who didn't like Jack Tripper and sad sad sad sad sad, but I think I speak for all of us when I say that Jack Tripper would not have approved of these get-ups:

They look both square and old. These girls have slim, lovely figures, but they appear to be going to a Golden Girls garden party as Dorothy and Rose. Red appears to be wearing her maiden aunt's nightgown -- sexed up a bit around the cleav -- and Blonde is wearing the fabric equivalent of a Chinese lantern.

Dressed like this, these teenage girls would be lucky to get the time of day from someone, much less a date.

Emmy Fug Carpet: Tess Smith

Meet Tess Smith.

Meet Tess Smith's entire naked body.

I do not know who Tess Smith is, but I do know that her waxer does good work.

I don't know about Tess Smith's personal life, but I do know that she enjoys a good loincloth.

I am not familiar with Tess Smith's professional career, but I suspect she might just be a professional, if you know what I mean and I think you do.

Babs looks like an overly formal drawstring bag.

Emmy Fug Carpet: Maria Menounos

Poor Maria Me"no-no"s:

Nobody told her that she wasn't in a third-grade production of The Fugcracker, so she showed up swaddled in tulle with a corset so tight it made pancakes of her breasts. When she was shot from the side during interviews, my chest spontaneously began to hurt -- she was droopier than Eeyore. I wanted to grab her by the bodice and yank upward.

The outfit looked even worse when she was interviewing people on the carpet, because most people around Maria had a glamorous floor-length dress, and she looked like Glinda the Good Witch at her high-school prom. Apparently the only thing Ms. M learned from Lara Flynn-Boyle's Hooker Ballerina look at the 2003 Golden Globes was that knee-high lace-up slippers are a bad idea. I suppose we can be thankful for that small mercy.

Emmy Fug Carpet: Helen Mirren

Helen Mirren: great actress, crazy dresser.

I love the sari itself. It's lovely. Except for the part where it's totally a weird choice for Aging British Actress Helen Mirren [unless, of course, she is celebrating India's freedom from Great Britain's tyranny, circa 1947. In which case... okay, but at the Emmys?]

I think Mirren looks -- facially -- fantastic. If she's had work done, it's brilliant work. She's aging beautifully. Good hair, even. But... I just don't get the sari. It's a beautiful piece and she doesn't look bad in it, exactly, although she does look maybe a little shapeless. I just don't GET IT. I guess it's not "fugly" so much as it is "confounding." What is the theory behind this outfit? Is it "funky multiculti that also hides my unsightly bulges?" Is it "the cleaner shrunk my Dolce and Gabbana and this is the only thing in my closet that's vaguely sparkly?" Is it, "oh, what the hell! I'm bloody Helen Mirren and I can wear whatever I like?"
