BET Awards Fug Carpet: Melody Thornton

Dear Melody "Pussycat Doll" Thornton:

OMG.

WTF?

NO.

You have scarred me into only speaking in monosyllabic words and common acronyms. This...is not.... It needs.... There ought to be.... MORE. MORE OF SOMETHING. MORE OF EVERYTHING.

BET Awards Fug or Fab: Alicia Keys

Okay, first and foremost -- because I believe in the power of positive reinforcement -- I just have to say that I love when Alicia wears her hair the way she did last night at the BET Awards. I think she's very pretty to begin with, obviously, but there's something about this look that is really flattering. And I liked what she wore on the red carpet:

She looks leggy and summery and I love the color. But speaking of leggy, shall we take a looksee at what she wore inside?

BET Awards Fug Carpet: Omarosa

I feel like things with Omarosa have been quiet. TOO quiet. She's got to be up to something, right?

88731163.jpg

Judging by this, it's a reality project entitled Glinda The Good Bitch, where she runs around Oz in various twee, bubblegum-hued prom dresses, committing random acts of rudeness on behalf of others -- all to prove there is profound social merit in acting like an imperious jerk with a royalty complex. Come to think of it, that would make a great companion piece to Paris Hilton's Neverending Search For A New Temporary BFF Who Isn't Attractive Enough To Cockblock Her But Isn't So Ugly That Paris Has To Pretend To Care About The Person Within. I shall set my DVR.

BET Awards Fug Carpet: Beyonce

Oh, Beyonce, you coy little mistress of mischief.

88731312.jpg

I can't be positive, but I have a sneaking suspicion that dress is secretly an abstract painting of a flamingo done entirely in oils and sequins, from Monet's lesser-known "psychic"delic period -- you know, where he'd abuse drugs in order to hallucinate the future and create things for Linda Evans to wear as blouses. They don't teach it much in art history, but trust me, it came right between his drag era and the time he gave up painting altogether to become a cobbler who specialized in turning Easter baskets into wedge sandals.

CMT Fug Carpet: Laura Bell Bundy

Behold Laura Bell Bundy, with whom I am familiar mostly because I watched MTV's reality show about casting the next Elle Woods for the Broadway version of Legally Blonde and she made the occasional appearance. Parenthetically, I have to say that show was SUPER entertaining -- the reality show, I mean. I've never seen the musical itself. It was sort of like Fame meets Top Model meets all the years I spent doing high school theatre meets the Pepto Bismol headquarters. At any rate, I feel that SOMEONE ought to have stepped in to prevent this:

88520656.jpg

I'm serious. Didn't we last see this on one of the Brady Bunch episodes in which the gang has to perform some kind of kitschy musical number complete with awkward choreography? I'm pretty sure that we did. Ergo, she looks like, at any moment, she's liable to break into some sort of routine that involves a copious amount of thumbs and/or pointing. Which, actually, I've never seen on the red carpet. It might be secretly awesome.

CMT Unfug It Up: Shawn Johnson

Okay, listen. This girl is an Olympic champion and the winner of Dancing With the Stars, for the sake of sweet little pickles. CAN'T WE DO BETTER BY HER THAN THIS?

88525431.jpg

Shawn is short and a little stockily-built and THAT IS TOTALLY OKAY.  Three quarters of people reading this right now are a little short, a little stocky, and/or both, am I right? Please, tip your waitress. But seriously, folks. A lot of people are built just like Shawn (except without the incredible athleticism, generally) and most of them manage to look very cute indeed on a daily basis, with no professional help. Right? Like you -- right there, with the turkey sandwich. You look adorable in that sweater. Way to go. So this is why I can't understand why whoever is styling Shawn -- America's Sweetheart! -- can't manage to, like, figure it out. Clearly, the empire waist here is an attempt to make her legs look longer, but the top is totally unflattering, the shoes don't match and the colors are so very Elderly Bridesmatron. I just want to grab her and take her to Bloomingdale's and FIX HER, since apparently, her stylist doesn't CARE ENOUGH to do this right. I'd start with making this dress shorter -- knee-length at least --- and give her something with sleeves, say, with a deep v-neck, to elongate things? But what would you do?

Usual Commenting Kindness rules apply, please. Now, TAKE IT AWAY:

CMT Music Awards Fug Carpet: T-Pain

I just wish T-Pain weren't so maddeningly VAGUE.

Logie's Fug Carpet Omnibus

So, this weekend, the Logies were held in Australia. If I understand it correctly, the Logies are sort of like if the Emmys had a baby with the People's Choice Awards: they're all TV-based, and the public votes, but it seems more prestigious than the People's Choice Awards? I'm sure if I'm wrong, one of our lovely Aussie readers will set me straight.  Many of those readers, in fact, emailed us to make sure we took a look at the red carpet from the Logies and...yes. You were correct that we needed to do that. 

With no further ado:

Oh, Carson. You are magical. Never change. Someone who ought to have changed, though, is this young lady:

You CAN go up a size. Here's the trick: realize that no one but you will know! You're welcome.

Academy of Country Music Awards Fug: Emily West

Oh, honey.

I don't think that's how your seatbelt was supposed to work.
