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 love this story about the teen girl gang who ran a burglary ring for like a year. It's going to be an AWESOME movie. BUT:

"As juicy as the inevitable movie based on the Hollywood Burglar Bunch is bound to be, it seems that unless they add a dying sibling whose brain fog can only be cured by eating the second hand of a purloined Cartier watch, a dramatized silver-screen send-up wouldn't hold a candle to the way it has unfolded in actual fact. Especially when said facts include the collusion of a guy who calls himself "Johnny Dangerous"

Johnny Dangerous! I want someone to start calling ME that. Read the rest of our take on these terribly juicy shenanigans at NY Mag.com.
Those poor short models on this season's ANTM. First, they're short, so they're never ACTUALLY going to be models. (Ladies, I feel you. I have to ask people for help getting things off the top shelf at the market. Um, not that that's the only thing keeping me from modeling. You know what I mean.) Then TyTy makes them be judged by the likes of Kim Kardashian. WHITHER JANICE? WHITHER?!

"Kim Kardashian can apply makeup, yes, and delivered a very touching performance on her sex tape; however, considering that she couldn't even convince us she was surprised when that hit the Internet, we can hardly trust her evaluation of performances in CoverGirl commercials."

Who's with us? Light your torches! To the barricades! Defend the shorties! All this complaining -- AND MORE awaits you at NY Mag.com.
We're sort of digging Katie Cassidy lately. She's kind of awesome on Melrose Place and her outfits are never boring -- even if we don't always love them, at least they never put us into a boredom coma. We take a look at them for NYMag.com...I'd say this week, but this actually went up Friday afternoon. Let's call it, "recently."

"Someone loves herself some animal print. Again, the makeup feels like overkill -- there's just too much of it -- and the purse looks like something Katie bought out of a car trunk, but the dress itself is a hit. It's toeing the line between "awesome" and "the '80s called; it wants its wardrobe back," but the otherwise simple cut and fun short sleeves save this from disaster."

Bet regular readers can picture that outfit, since I believe we put it to a poll here a while ago. Read the whole piece, and see how many you recognize.
Whoops, I totally forgot to write this post. PRETEND IT WENT UP EARLIER! What did we chat about on NY Mag.com, you ask? Just read the title of this post, my friends!

"You'd think that our national legion of fame whores would be allergic to putting even a toe in the shadows, but the number of covert marriages being unearthed lately -- most recent: Claire Danes, of all people -- indicates that hush-hush is a hotter trend even than rompers and sheer skirts. Secret weddings officially are the new DUIs: Suddenly, everyone in Hollywood seems to be getting one."

Don't believe us? It's true, and we approve. Read the whole column here, if you dare. (I can't think why you wouldn't.)
In addition to our comprehensive and continuing coverage of the Emmys here at GFY, we also prepared a piece for our friends at NY Mag.com:

"But just because no one fell off the stage or accidentally lit Ryan Seacrest on fire doesn't mean that those generous souls who braved the red carpet solely for our entertainment -- and their own good press -- don't deserve a little constructive feedback."

New York Fugshion Week: Day Six

Six days down! Two days to go! Somehow Fashion "Week" has EIGHT DAYS. MAGIC. I'M TIRED. I MIGHT JUST TYPE AND TYPE AND....no. I am okay. I am not at all a fashion week zombie. Everything is fine.

This happened last night:

Courtney Love, in case you're wondering, is not someone who watches a fashion show quietly. She...is a flailer. And a talker. And a HANDFUL. Bless. Read about her shenanigans by clicking on this helpful link.

What else happened yesterday? Let's see. I had a Tasti-DEE-LITE, or however it's spelled. One of my blisters developed a blister. Betsey Johnson gave everyone mini-bundt cakes. I mistook Fran Drescher for Lucy Liu (I'm...tired. CAN YOU TELL?) and then....something else happened. Something alarming and fascinating and weird. What was it? Oh, yeah: MICKEY ROURKE SHOWED UP. And I spent that entire show longing for a pre-f'ed'up photo of him to wave plaintively in the air, like a lighter. A lighter celebrating the glory of previous hotness.

NYFug.com: VMA Roundup

This went up on NYMag.com on Monday morning, but we completely forgot to alert anyone to it. I blame Drew Barrymore's new dye job, which -- for today, at least -- is apparently my new Spencer when it comes to scapegoating. Although maybe I can blame him for her hair; yes, that makes the universe feel aligned again.

Anyway: 

Neither [outfit] was a hit, but this one at least doesn't evoke a horror film about the produce aisles.

About whom did we write that? Click here to marinate in the full slideshow and you will find the answer.

New York Fugshion Week: Day One

SOLANGE: Dude. I know.

KERI HILSON: Here's the scoop, kids. I am crazy tall and wicked cute in person. Woo hoo! God, that's a relief. For me. I didn't think YOU, dear reader, were that worried. Ah, life is good.

SOLANGE: Yeah.

KERI: Why so glum, S?

SOLANGE: Hilarious.

KERI: What is?

SOLANGE: Acting like you don't know what's wrong. I'M WEARING A JACKET TRIMMED WITH THE REMNANTS OF SOME GRANDIOSE OLD PERSON'S DRAWING-ROOM WINDOW DRESSINGS. YOU KNOW WHAT'S WRONG.

KERI: Well...you know. If you don't have anything nice to say....

SOLANGE: Is that why you haven't mentioned MY HAIR OR LACK THEREOF OH GOD WHY DID I SHAVE MY HEAD?

KERI: Um. It turns out I need leave now.

Poor Solange. I saw her at the BCBG show today and she did NOT look pleased. Cheer up, sugarplum! That coat is a great example of the power of recycling! I mean, it's not great-LOOKING. But it IS a coat. Read all about the shenanigans at BCBG here.

Also experienced this inaugural day of Fashion Week, I saw Gwen pat Gavin's ass. IT WAS AWESOME. By which I mean, I was totally blase about it and could not have cared less, so blase was I.
That's the questions we're asking over at NY Mag.com. To boil it down to Tim Gunn-isms, we're concerned:

"While we're treading water waiting to learn which woman is arbitrarily eliminated, we've being forced to sit through segments where models try on shoes at Nine West, do squats, and clean the kitchen. We understand that if MotR rewinds and drops you in the middle of a Project Runway story arc that you just saw play out, it risks feeling like a retread, but if we wanted to watch women complain at the gym, do housework, and then buy shoes from a mall store, we'd just get out a mirror."

We WANTED to love you, Models of the Runway. We wanted to love you SO BAD. Find out why our love affair is probably doomed over at NY Mag.com.
