Misc. Awards Shows

So, last week, I spaced out. See, sometimes, our image provider bumps old images up onto the main page, randomly, and I often think to myself, "Some poor schmo is going to see those and think they're NEW," and then... I was that schmo. I accidentally fugged a photo of Fergie that was from 2007. I KNOW. It certainly explains why she had her old hair. I have no real excuse, except that things are a tad crazy around the ol' homestead and I'm not getting very much sleep any more, and also, last week sucked. But still. As Homer Simpson would say, "I am so smart. I am so smart. S-M-R-T."

Ahem. Anyway, given that, you can see why maybe I saw this photograph and feared I was about to do it again. It FEELS a lot like 2007 up in here:

I actually think 2007 just went through its closet and left a bunch of stuff out on the curb for the Salvation Army, and Shailene happened to be driving by and thought a five-fingered discount on a skinny-jeans-and-corset-combo was too good to refuse. Because who DOESN'T want to put on pants that require lubrication just to get them up over your knees, much less your thighs, and then seal the deal with a button-torso closure? That's so much fun it's practically a carnival ride! Of course, it'll take her forever to use the lavatory. I guess the thinking is, if it takes you half an hour to wait in the bathroom line, then you'd best hang out in there a while.

Things didn't improve too much for Shailene at the Teen Choice Awards. Instead of trousers that come up to her armpits, she wore almost the exact opposite:

KYLIE JENNER: Um, hello? Isn't anyone going to stop this?

KENDALL JENNER: Seriously. SOMEBODY dropped the ball here.

KOURTNEY KARDASHIAN: Security!

KIM KARDASHIAN: What do you mean?

KYLIE: Ew, it's TALKING to us!

KENDALL: I am FURIOUS that they let random fans just WALK UP TO US. Don't they know who we ARE?

KOURTNEY: Well, nobody knows who YOU are, honey.

KYLIE: Oh, please, most people don't know who you are either.

KIM: They know who I am!

KENDALL: The hell? Why would they know who you are, Random Stranger?

KIM: Guys, it's me. Kim.

KOURTNEY: No it's not. I would know my own sister.

KENDALL: You look nothing like Kim, you lying strumpet.

KIM: Dudes, for real, it's ME. I just got a breakup tan and the Audrina Patridge Special on my hair.

KYLIE: I don't believe you.

KOURTNEY: Well, hang on, Kim HAS been yakking on Twitter about changing her hair.

KIM: Right! And now that I'm single, IT'S ON! Where you AT, Tony Romo?

KOURTNEY: I'm not sure how I feel about it.

KIM: Well, I am not sure how I feel about your dress. Is it a magic carpet that you bought in Santa Fe?

KOURTNEY: Oooh, it's a bitch! Then it's DEFINITELY Kim.

KIM: Very funny. 

It should be no surprise to anyone that, at the Teen Choice awards, this teen chose to confound me once more. I know we're kind of hard on K.Stew around these parts, but it's not without reason:

There is definitely a kicky aspect to her spiny mini-dress, like she is some kind of crime-fighting figure-skater who launches a triple-axle and lets the knives on her skirt shred through her enemies like a tornado of pain.

What I DON'T care for is how it looks like she's wearing it backwards. Seriously, I almost wonder if that's the case -- as if a low-cut back prevented her from wearing a bra, so instead of investigating other support options, she just flipped it around and threw on a $9.99 Old Navy tank to cover her front. If that's true, well, I guess I applaud her consideration of her boobs, but the outfit shows zero consideration for the rest of her. SURELY there is some middle-ground. Or if not, then a very large coat.

Also, I have to address the elephant in the room. I KNOW she's got that hair for the Joan Jett movie. I do. But COME ON:
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.

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:

88732377.jpg

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

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

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.

Oh, Beyonce, you coy little mistress of mischief.

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.
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:

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. 

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?

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:

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