I hope you guys have been checking out the comments on these Freaky Fug Friday entries -- seriously, we always knew our readers were smart and funny, but y'all are blowing us away with the awesomeness of your contributions. Even though we weed through the submissions to pick our favorites, there is so much more awesome to be found, you'd be doing yourself a disservice if you didn't pore through as many of them as you can. Bravo, Fug Nation.

Onto this week's Freaky Fug Friday.

THE PICTURE:

THE FUGEE: Katy Perry, singer, kisser of girls for shock value and profit, girlfriend of British comedian Russell Brand.

THE CHALLENGE: Fug her through song. Pick a tune by any famous Perry -- Katy, Steve Perry, Aerosmith's Joe Perry, Perry Como, Perry Farrell, um... Perry... Mason -- and rewrite the lyrics to apply to this photo. You do NOT have to do the entire song -- just do enough that we get a sense of what you're parodying. Note: Include the name of the actual song in your entry. You know, just in case.

EXTRANEOUS DETAILS: Katy here is in the act of hosting the MTV European Music Awards, a night on which she wore several costumes, including the above.

IMPORTANT WARNING: Please keep your entry in the spirit of the site itself. We're pretty sure y'all know what that means.

Post your entries in the comments -- do not e-mail them to us, please! You have until Sunday night at 10 p.m. Pacific time. Per usual, the finalists will be put to a vote on Monday. Now go forth and compose!

MTV European Music Awards Fug Carpet: Beyonce

There was a time when the sight of Beyoncce in a strapless, clingy gown with a fishtail-esque hem would've elicited an eye-roll from both of us, and a yawn, and several chants of "BORING" while we listened to The Pierces' "Boring" and scrawled the words Mrs. Beyonce BORING on our Trapper-Keepers.

And yet:

Apparently absence makes the heart grow fonder. Miss B has spent so much time wearing robot hands and leotards lately that I'm actually very pleased to see her looking so shapely and pretty here in that very eye-catching dress. I love the structure of the top. When you're a woman with hips, wearing a bodice like that with so much architectural fan detail is really risky because it could broaden you rather than flatter you but somehow -- by the grace of God and her DNA, I guess -- Beyonce is rocking it hard. I also love the full, curly hair. The whole thing, to me, works.

I mean, consider it: Not that long ago, Beyonce would've been the one showing up wearing this:

Erin Lucas is doing a bang-up job getting herself on people's invitation lists, considering she only made it through one season of The City before ~~being deemed too boring to continue~~ deciding to leave. But she might want to try making a bit MORE out of those opportunities:

I mean, I'm pretty sure Erin got those slacks by aisle-jacking a flight attendant who is three inches shorter than she is. Come fly her fugly skies.

MTV European Music Awards Fug Carpet: Juliette Lewis

I don't know how to break this to you, so I'm just going to come out and say it: Juliette and the Licks apparently broke up back in JANUARY. Why was I not notified, Universe? This means we may never get to hear her perform such instant classics as "Sticky Honey," in which she wails with such unbridled yearning, "Sticky sticky sticky honey // Man lands on Mars // Man rips off his broken parts."

The GOOD news is, it doesn't appear to have affected her aesthetic yet.

Also, her new band -- The New Romantiques -- isn't wasting any time getting to the crazy. Its song is called "Suicide Dive Bombers," which Juliette said, quite seriously, is a love letter to all the fans who keep coming to watch in her perform. And it's true. Nothing bespeaks the heart's most precious emotion than a song named after terrorists that includes the words, "Now you see this path has all been laid out... littered with guillotine and razorblades. I lost my mind more than once." If that's love, then can't WAIT to see what comes out when she decides to write a lyrical hate letter.

MTV European Music Awards Fug Carpet: Pete Wentz

Well, this was unexpected.

Do we think Pete Wentz, after a few too many cocktails, had a "Eureka!" moment in which he finally married his twin passions of A Clockwork Orange and Sharpies? Or do we think he passed out and his bandmates drew on his face? Either way, Ashlee will be so pissed. She didn't get fired from Melrose Place just to sit around the house scrubbing his eyelid with cold cream.

Perhaps Pete will give us a clue as to what inspired this. Pete? Do you have anything to say for yourself?

NYFug.com: James Franco's Soap-Opera Stint Is A Genius Move

Given our soapy proclivities, it ought not surprise you that we think James Franco's planned appearance on General Hospital is awesome -- and that it makes HIM that much more awesome, too.

Based on the photo, Franco is throwing himself into GH with gusto. His eyes are so shifty, his hands so deeply jammed into the pockets of his slick black suit, that he might as well wear a sign saying, "As soon I leave this room, I'm going to pull a gun out of my pocket, chuckle sinisterly, and then deliver an evil monologue to the wall at full volume in the middle of a crowded yet strangely blind-and-deaf public space."

But WHY do we think it makes him Hollywood's most interesting actor? To find out, you'll have to click through and read the whole piece. It's worth it just for the photo. That is some serious soap-opera brooding happening.

I kind of want to like this. Indeed, I DO like it conceptually:

But Cammy, there's no shame in going up a size. Nobody will know but you. Trust me, it's worth it: You'll look better, you can inhale sweet oxygen, and you might even have room for some free appetizers and a cocktail. Hell, throw in that badass necklace, and for some of us, that constitutes a perfect night.

P.S. I think... no on the shoes. They're too heavy with the outfit. Hooves are for horses, not humans.

This was going to be a scrolldown fug, but frankly, I'm not that enamored of any of it.

That looks like an ornate bathrobe -- like what Charlize might throw on at home in her dressing room if, say, she's about to take a scrappy orphan girl to the movies, and she'd like to sing about it for a bit first while she powders her nose. The shoes seem totally discordant with the rest of the outfit -- just because they have sparkly things on them, it doesn't mean they're formal -- and I wouldn't be at all surprised to learn that Charlize spent the entire night with her hand covering her crotch, just in case her robe keeps riding up there and threatening to turn "Let's Go To The Movies" into an odd euphemism -- albeit one that Daddy Warbucks would enjoy.

Dearest Mel B. You have serious problems here. How to put this...

How about if I borrow from one of your tender Spice Girls ballads:

Get a little bit clothed here, baby.
Put 'em on, put 'em on.
'Cause tonight
Is the night
Your pants must get done.
You need some trou like you've never needed trou before (let 'em make love to you, baby).
You've got a little shirt -- now go back for more (don't let it make fug to you, baby).
Setting your crotch free
Is no public way to be.

Apparently, Drew here -- promoting Everybody's Fine, a movie I had no idea even existed, with a title that inspires absolutely no curiosity in me because, hey, if everybody's fine, then I don't need to pay $13 to check in with them -- is wearing one of Victoria Beckham's creations.

Time was, if we'd heard Posh would be designing clothes, we'd be girding our loins for leopard-print corsets attached to a skirt made of one linen napkin and a riding crop, a tutu made of soccer balls, or some kind of actual high-fashion loin-girder constructed from leather and three kitchen knives. Seriously, rewind to 2005, and ask yourself if you'd have envisioned this dress when someone said the words, "Designed by Victoria Beckham."

Some of Posh's other stuff is quite pretty, but this one is leaving me cold. It's very Walking Up The Aisle At A Winter Wedding, While Making Eye Contact With Hot Single Groomsman No. 2. I'm not entirely sure if the bodice fits, and the length is very stumpifying. I want it to be shorter. Indeed, as much as Drew has quirked it up lately to a level that is confusing to me (I will never understand the skunk dye job, for instance), this seems so tame that her very Drewness, that lively spirit, has gotten lost in its stodgy eggplant embrace. Woe. Indeed, I started this post as a Fug or Fab, and then realized I'd written the entire thing without very much optimism for the "fab" vote.

Eh, might as well put it to a poll anyway.
