VMAs Fug Carpet: Whitney Port

The other day I put Freida Pinto's Christopher Kane dress to a vote, and 57 percent of you decided it was Fug Central. So I'm curious to know how you'll feel about Whitney Port's frock from the same line:

To me, it's worse. At least Freida's promised to hold itself up; Whit's is perilously close to freeing an imprisoned nipple, and it almost looks unfinished, like there was supposed to be a top built around that support garment but the designer ran out of time. And don't get me started on how These Kids Today sit down in skirts like that -- makes me wonder if the transparent layer is actually necessary as some sort of sanitary liner. I'm waiting for the day somebody makes a gynecological minidress with a full-on toilet-wrap dispenser attached. You know it'll happen. Hell, Lady Gaga probably has three of them in different colors sitting in her basement lab.

This seems like a classic chicken-and-egg scenario to me.

Is Kanye inhaling the booze because his date is dressed in a heinous bodystocking, or is Amber Rose wearing the heinous bodystocking because Kanye was inhaling the booze? I don't know the answer, but I do know this: On her home planet, Amber doubles as a giant snakeskin handbag. She's like a fashion Transformer. I can't wait until Kanye figures that out and blogs about it: MY GIRLFRIEND IS A MAN-PURSE IN DISGUISE. THE OTHER DAY I FOUND MY KEYS IN HER SMALL INTESTINE. THAT MAKES ME THE KIND OF PERSON WHOSE AUTOGRAPH I WOULD WANT."

VMAs Fug Carpet: Beyonce

Do my eyes deceive me...

... or is Beyonce essentially wearing a high-fashion fanny pack?

VMAs LiveFug

The MTV Video Music Awards pre-show goes on-air at 5 p.m. Pacific time, and just for fun, we thought we'd live-blog it -- with comments enabled! -- as a dry-run for possibly live-blogging the Emmy red carpet next Sunday. It might have been a more SUCCESSFUL test if we'd had the idea in time to tell people last week that we'd be doing this, but it's all good -- consider this like a restaurant's soft open, where people who stumble upon it can walk through the doors and have a meal while the staff works out the kinks.

The commenting rules are the usual: No personal attacks (on each other or on us -- for the latter, of course, we invite you to use our handy-dandy e-mail address, but the former tends to ruin the atmosphere around here so please avoid it), keep it free of hate speech and the like; and keep it on topic. Just have fun with it so that everyone can KEEP having fun with it.

All righty, keep refreshing or coming back to get the latest addenda to the post. And 3...2...1...

4:59 p.m.: America's Best Dance Crew's end credits are rolling us into the VMA pre-show, so I'm watching a bunch of women in what looks like pirate lingerie shoving their pelvises at each other. That actually seems like the perfect tone to set.

5 p.m.: I didn't realize the VMAs are in New York -- that plus Fashion Week plus the U.S. Open? Busy. But should be good for the celeb turnout. Lady Gaga emerges from her limo in a gold Phantom mask, giant hat, and feathered collar; the whole thing looks so heavy that she can barely turn from side to side. She's practically hoisted to her feet from the car. Pretty soon she's going to start arriving places via an elaborate system of pulleys and wires, a la Bruno, except with less man-sac.
I don't really have the energy to continue trying to understand this woman -- why she's invited places over here, why she's so freaking skinny, and why I can't just ignore her.

But:

I have three shouty things to say:

1) STOP TANNING.

2) START CHEWING.

3) FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, WHERE ARE YOUR BOOBS HERE?

That is all.

VMAs Fug Carpet: Pink

Okay, could someone please explain this to me?

82717258.jpg

Is it me, or does Pink look suddenly about 56 years old? Like, the grey hair? And the dress that appears to be made out of awnings? And have I mentioned the grey hair? And the dress made of awnings? What about the grey? Have I told you about that yet? I mean, I love a good stripe, but there's stripey, and then there's "have you seen the fabulous new cabana we put out by the pool? Call Morgan Fairchild and Lorenzo Lamas and have them over for a pitcher of Tom Collinses! I feel like getting a little crazy tonight."
Keri Hilson invites you to the opening night of her new play, The Adventures of Knockers McGee:

The curtain's going up right now at the Hilson Torso Theater; you have ten seconds to take your seat or else you'll miss all of Act One, in which she tries to gain admission to the VMAs wearing nothing but a WWE championship belt and a head-suit made of paintbrush bristles.

VMAs Fug Carpet: Katy Perry

DUDE. We GET IT, Katy Perry. You're WHIMSICAL. You KISSED A GIRL! You think your ex is "so gay" because he has a scarf from H&M or something, according to the lyrics of your other single, all of which indicates a kind of very shallow take on sexual politics.  You are coy! And twee! You probably have a lollipop in your bag right now! You always dress like the girl on the side of some hot WWII-era fighter pilot's plane. WE KNOW.

82706572.jpg

WE SO KNOW. Now, for the love of fishnet stockings and all they've managed to stand for over the years in this great country of ours, PUT. ON. SOME. PANTS. And maybe a top -- I think I can see your nipple here.
One of our eagle-eyed reader sent in this pic of Christina Aguilera, noting that when she first caught a quick glimpse of it, she thought, "Damn! Donatella Versace got some good work done!"

82706909.jpg

And now that's all I can think of when I see this. Because it's TRUE. She looks like she's about ten minutes away from screaming for some tan, oiled-up dudes to carry her out of the venue on their muscular shoulders. Which would actually be kind of awesome, so carry on.
OH. MY. GOD. Y'ALL. Where have I been for the last year or whatever?

82708599.jpg

I think I heard something about something about how it's totally depressing to make fun of someone's outfits when her outfits are the least of her problems or something? I don't know. I wasn't paying any attention. I don't know if y'all are aware, but I have had a craaaazy year this last year. That chapter in my autobiography (working title: Cheetos: A Love Story) is going to be juicy. That's all I'm saying. Lifetime Television For Women juicy and I am so playing myself as Young Britney and then Kim Cattrall can play me when I'm old, just like in Crossroads. Anyway, I just wanted to pop in and tell all y'all that I'm feeling much better and if you're blind or whatever and reading this in like Braille or something, I also really just want you to know that I also look TOTALLY AWESOME and really cute and in good shape and with a decent weave for once and also completely self-actualized and full of inner something or other -- I don't know. Dr Phil keeps calling and leaving these long-ass messages on my machine about letting my inner self-esteem elephant trample the lawn of my self-image or something and that reminds me I need to call him and tell him to leave me alone because I so don't need a new man in my life. Just this hot ass outfit. Suck on it, Timberlake. You too, Federline. And all the rest of all y'all. I told you I'd be back. It just TOOK ME A WHILE. GOD.

LOVE YOU MISSED YOU MEAN IT

BRITNEY.
