Go Fug Yourself: Because Fugly Is The New Pretty

Freaky Fug Friday: Voting Editon

Yet another Freaky Fug Friday contest in which you all out-did yourselves. This week, the challenge was to take the picture of Ms Katy Perry below, and fug it in song. The catch? Whatever song you used had to be performed by Katy Perry, or any other Perry of note: Joe Perry, Steve Perry, etc.

Once again, it was crazy hard to choose our top options here, for REAL. Yet, those hard choices were made. PLEASE TO VOTE ON:

OPTION ONE, by Minutiae:

To the tune of the Chicago Bears' "Super Bowl Shuffle," featuring William "The Refrigerator" Perry:

Katy's queen of the Fugly Crew
Wearing swiss cheese just for you
This new one sure is intense
Blowing our minds with her fashion nonsense
We sure do like to snark on her
It's nice she provides such great fodder
She ain't here to start no trouble
She's just here to wear a moon crater ruffle

Her name is Katy
A rookie she's not
We see her on GFY a lot
She's worn muppets and rubber pants
And fuzzy dice on stage to dance
She has more tricks for us to view
A holey dress in a pumpkin hue
She ain't here to start no trouble
She's just here to wear a moon crater ruffle

OPTION TWO, by Sally Racket

Katy Perry's "I Kissed a Girl" as Performed by Her Dress (Or, A Postmodern Cautionary Tale About the Potential Misunderstandings Engendered by Gaping Holes)

This was never the way I planned
Not my intention
I got so [ ], drink in hand
Lost my [ ]
It's not what I'm used to
Just wanna [ ] you [ ]
I'm [ ] for you
Caught my [ ]
I kissed a [ ] and I liked it

OPTION THREE: by Poltergasm

To the tune of Perry Como's "Accentuate the Positive"

"I've gotta accentuate the insanity
Cuddle close to tulle inanity
Russell Brand's my new calamity
I've got the good sense of a lima bean."

"I spread my joy WAY up to the maximum
Poppin' holes WAY up to my stern-i-um
Look close: see my vag-I-n-ium
Soon Russ'll have me having up fourteen"
{ed note: While he's the only guy upon the scene.
Sorry.}

("To illustrate my last remark
My Bible-toting parents spark,
Occasionally they even BARK, but
What did they do
Just when everything looked so dark?")

Man, they said we better
Accentuate salmon-effluvia
Plaster on the drip-mascaria
Chop holes from centrifug-ia
& Let her mess w/ always In-Between
Mess w/ Mister Meat who's In-Between
Chick on chick on chick, some not quite keen.
Genetics responsible for lima bean.
They learned from kissing girls
they wouldnt scream.
Just cut her clothes
til scarcely they'll be seen.

OPTION FOUR, by T Shadix

"I Kissed A Girl/Missed the Wall"

This guy at Sears whose name was Stan
Sold me a Craftsman
I got so drunk, drill in hand
Lost my direction
It's not what, I aimed for
Just wanna hang a pic
I'm feeling blue 'cause I've
Drilled through my small intestine

I missed the wall and I'd like it
If you could call a medic
I missed the wall and my thigh's hit
I hope Sears will refund it
It felt so wrong
To drill so quite
Close to my innards tonight
I missed the wall, ow my right hip
My right hip

"Could that skirt BE any cheesier?"

- by Chandler Bing, aka Ms Chanandler Bong, aka Matthew PERRY.

(Not technically a song and therefore ineligible for voting, but: funny. I can't resist a Chandler Bing reference)]

makeup mishaps

Last Thursday, GFY Icon of Irreverence Tilda "SWINTON" Swinton turned 49. We celebrated by stapling curtains around our bodies and then drinking champagne out of our highest stilettos -- the former because, let's face it, sometimes that's what SWINTON's outfits look like, and the latter just because it seemed like fun and Intern George hadn't washed our champagne flutes in a few days.

SWINTON evidently feted the day by taking a lesson from Lindsay Lohan on makeup application:

Between the orange foundation and the intense eye brightener, her face looks like a creamsicle. Which is doubly jarring because I believe she's wearing an undertaker's sofa.

I love you, SWINTON. Never change. Happy belated birthday.

Have I totally lost the plot, or is Kelly Bensimon walking down the street wearing her bath mat?

I'm serious. And this is honestly not even that surprising. Having watched many an episode of every Real Housewife franchise -- because I have no shame -- I can truthfully testify that Kelly Bensimon DOES seem to be the sort of person who might look down at her bathroom floor and think, "THIS. I'm going to wear THIS." I mean, she also jogs down 5th Avenue. THE STREET SECTION. NOT THE SIDEWALK. Wearing a bath mat probably seems neither bizarre nor questionable to the mind who doesn't see anything weird about forcing traffic to follow her at low speeds while she trots through the streets of New York. We should probably be glad it isn't her shower curtain.

CHAD MICHAEL MURRAY: Kenzie. Don't look up. Stare at the ground.

KENZIE DALTON: Why, Chad?

CHAD MM: Because.

KENZIE: That's a bad reason. If I stare at the ground, no one will see my face, and then I'll never get in Us Weekly and our whole mystifying 4-year engagement will be for NAUGHT.

CMM: Look, everyone already thinks I'm a douche, okay? I just don't want them to think I am in any way associated with those pants. Or that refried Carrie Bradshaw flower on your coat.

KENZIE: You're being annoying. Am I old enough to drink yet? Because I need one.

CMMMMMMMMM: Just hurry, okay, before anyone recognizes us.

KENZIE: No, Chad. Stop. You're denying America your special gift. Do you really want to skulk anonymously through the night, just because it looks like a small child ran with scissors directly at my pants? Do you? Is THAT the kind of man I'm marrying?

CM-SQUARED: Well, but we're never ACTUALLY getting married, are we?

KENZIE: LOOK UP AND DO WHAT YOU WERE BORN TO DO, or else I will wear these pants every day.

C-DOUBLE-M: FINE. I'll do it.

I really miss that terrible show Debra Messing was on last year. You remember. Judy Davis was using it to pay the rent. Vampire Bill was on it when it was a mini-series, as Debra's boyfriend, who happened to be both homeless AND a murderer but still was supposed to be seen as a legitimate catch, like I know it's hard to be single in Los Angeles but come on. And he was truly terrible, so bad that I think he must thank God every day that he landed on True Blood, where his slightly wooden affect works well for his uptight-yet-largely-nude vampire character. I can't remember what it was called, but I miss it, and clearly Debra has sunk into a deep depression regarding its cancellation, because what else could possibly explain...any of this?

I mean, a secret pregnancy would explain the cut of the dress. But nothing save for depression/head injury/a misguided attempt to switch to lo-flow shower heads could possibly explain the styling. Sugarplum, ain't no shame in throwing up your hands and just wearing a ponytail. You feel me?

Fug or Fab or Unfug: Freida Pinto

Fug file:

Well, from the neck up Freida Pinto is as gorgeous as ever.

From the neck down, I'm less sure. I love the shoes. And the bag. And the fouffiness of the skirt ("fouffiness" being a technical fashion term). It makes me want to twirl around. But I kind of wish the under-dress were black, too, because something about the beige reminds me of Spanx. And Spanx reminds me of being unable to breathe. And then I start to hyperventilate and I want to lie down.

What do you think? Tell me while I look for my inhaler.

Fug Lieutenant: I Don't Feel Like Looking Up the Bad Lieutenant Subtitle

Fug file:

So, can we assume that Eva Mendes has flown the Rachel Zoe coop? Because no matter what you may say about RZ -- insert a lengthy screed here that includes the words, "literally," "I die," "skinny," "bananas," "sandwich," and "caftan" -- I don't know that she would actually do this to anyone:

Sister, that is a lot of sideboob and while I'm not opposed to the sideboob in theory, like a nuclear warhead it must be deployed with great caution and only in the most serious of circumstances. Sure, that level of boob poking out from a button-down is fine if you're in a shaving cream commercial wearing your husband's shirt and gazing at him while he shaves, thus proving that Mac117 or whatever not only removes hair from one's face but is also A BABE MAGNET. And it's fine if you're playing the role of Teacher in any kind of Hot for Teacher Scenario. And of course it works when you're in the midst of shaking out your hair and taking off your glasses in a ploy to elicit a, "why, Miss [Whatever], you're BEAUTIFUL" in a B-movie from back when people said things like,"why, Miss [Whatever], you're BEAUTIFUL." But I think Eva here would be well-served by maybe buttoning ONE more button. Because instead of being sexy, from the front this thing turns into kind of a mess:

Fugs and Pieces: Friday, November 6th

-- Busy Phillips called Chad Michael Murray "a douche" at the Paley Festival's Dawson's Creek event. The account of the ensuing attempts of James Van Der Beek to kinda-sorta-not-really defend The Chad is hysterical. Oh, CMM. You squinty, squinty douche.[Zap2It]

-- This is a fascinating account of Nicolas Cage's compulsive spending: 'Three people who visited his house also report seeing shrunken heads. None is sure whether they were actual people's heads (which are illegal to import) or simply those of animals (which generally are not). Still, one thing was for certain. "They were pretty weird," says a source.' Also, the art on that first page really ought to be the next National Treasure movie poster. [The Daily Beast]

-- How is it possible that Dakota Fanning has grown up as an insanely respected child actress AND a totally normal kid who is also completely adorable? I mean, if you are a movie star and the potentially jealous fools at your high school STILL vote you Homecoming Princess, then you must be doing something right. [JustJared]

-- Who do we think is going to wear these Alexander McQueen shoes first? My vote is Lady Gaga, although she might have to wrestle them from Jennifer Lopez's greedy claws. [Vogue]

-- But it is REALLY a reality show based on The Cutting Edge if nobody is doing the pamchenko? [PopWatch]

-- Stephen Colbert wants to save the U.S. Olympic Speed Skating team by raising enough cash to sponsor it. People can donate by clicking here. We love you, Stephen. Also, you'd raise a lot more money if you promised to wear the unitard on-air. Trust us. We're fashion bloggers. [Time.com and USSpeedskating.org]

-- We did an interview for Lifetime's Web site, and then we picked a couple celebrity looks we like that are themed by People Whose Legs Remind Us We Really Need To Unplug The Laptop And Work Out Sometime. [MyLifetime.com]

-- And after the jump, a video clip that I hope will make your life, as it did mine:

Bold choices from Yvonne and Madeline Zima here.

I'm not entirely convinced Yvonne didn't make that red thing herself one long, sleepless night while TNT ran the movie Maverick over and over again. And Madeline's seems like it belongs in one of those old-timey photo setups where you show up, they put old clothes over your real ones, and tell you not to smile while they take your photo -- all so you can get a sepia-toned picture of yourself in a cardboard frame looking like your own crabby ancestor.

In fact:
