Go Fug Yourself: Because Fugly Is The New Pretty

Jamelia here apparently attended this premiere with 50 Cent, since a lot of the photos show them wrapped around each other.

Based on the length of that skirt, though, I wonder if their public coupling was more of a high-concept Halloween costume in which they are, jointly, a fifty-cent hooker.

A reader e-mailed us an interview in which Katharine McPhee bragged that her blonde hair has made her more creative.

Together, that reader and I wondered if by "creative" she meant "blind."

"Oh my god, I'm so sorry I'm late but you wouldn't BELIEVE what I had to go through to get here. First, so I'm leaving my apartment, right? And I'm waiting for the elevator and it gets to my floor and the door opens and I walk in and I fall right down the elevator shaft. The door just opened and the car wasn't there! But luckily I only fell like....I dunno....thirty feet? Right. So, I manage to shimmy up the wall of the elevator shaft and I haul myself up onto my floor and I decide, fine -- I'll take the stairs. So I take all forty flights of stairs and when I get outside, I realize I'm really running late, so I decide to cut through the park, okay? So I'm walking along minding my own business and the next thing you know, I swear to God, this cat the size of a goat FLIES out of a tree and onto my head. So I'm wrestling this feral cat for seriously I don't even know how long, like at least twenty minutes. And then once I ditched the cat, I had to run, you know, because I know I'm really late now, and of course it's dark, and I'm in these heels and then OF COURSE I tripped and I fell into a giant pile of brambles. I do NOT know what they were doing in the middle of the pathway, it must have been some kind of gardening miscommunicado, but it took me forever to extract myself from them, and, actually, I think some of them might have been on fire. And then just as I was leaving of the park, a gang of girl hoodlums jumped me and stole my bag and made fun of my ponytail, like all, 'Didn't you learn anything from The September Issue? Why is your dress all covered in holes and torn up at the bottom? We hated G.I. Joe,' and I was like, 'bitch, I just fell down an elevator shaft, wrestled a feral cat, was brutally attacked by flora, almost caught on fire, and had my bag stolen by hooligans. How do you EXPECT ME TO LOOK? I'VE HAD A LONG NIGHT.' And after that, they left me alone.

Anyway. That's why I'm late. And why my dress looks like it's just been through the third act of a Michael Bay film. So sorry. Can someone just direct me to the bar? Thanks."

Freaky Fug Friday: Lady Victoria Hervey

foreign celebs

Hey guys,

We've been having so much fun with the open comments -- thank you for being generally awesome -- that Heather and I have been mulling other features we could do that utilized them to the most amusing advantage. What the hell, right? We've been doing this thing for five years: As in a marriage, it might be fun to try something new (within a loving embrace of our committed and nonjudgmental relationship, mais oui). And what better day to get freaky, role-reversal style, than a Friday?

Here's how this is going to work. We're going to ask YOU to write the post about this photo, following very specific guidelines that will be different each week. The best three entries posted in the comments -- please don't e-mail them to us -- between NOW and 10 p.m. PST Sunday night will be posted on GFY Monday morning, with attribution, and the readers can vote on their favorite to pick a winner. (Right now the only prize is THE THRILL OF VICTORY, because this real estate is all we have to offer. But maybe one day we'll have actual STUFF. Let us pray.) Enter as often as you want!

Come on! It'll be fun! And it'll make the weekend arrive faster.

THE FUGEE: Wacktacular Brit socialite Lady Victoria Hervey

THE GUIDELINES: Your entry must take the form of a haiku. Grammar and spelling count. You may be risque, as in the tradition of all good haiku (....right?) but try not to get full-on nasty. And to make sure there's no uncertainty: A haiku consists of one five-syllable line, one seven-syllable line, and then one more five syllable line. In that order.

EXTRANEOUS DETAILS: Yes, her dress has actual holes in it. She's smoking a Smokestik, which is a tobacco-free, electronic nicotine dispenser that she herself designed (!) and which has her family crest on it (!!) as well "a bejewelled tip" (!!!). (I really want to make a "bejewelled tip" joke, but I don't get to write this one.) Feel free to work this in as you see fit.

IMPORTANT WARNING: Please keep your entry in the spirit of the site itself. We're pretty sure y'all know what that means.

Okay! We're excited to read your entries! Get writing. And don't forget to sign your entry the way you want your credit to appear if you're chosen.

Well Played, Anne Hathaway

I am usually not a fan of themed dressing.

Like, remember when Kiki Dunst was in Marie Antoinette, and for a while there every time she went somewhere, she looked like she was about ready to plonk her head down on the guillotine? That was annoying. (Although, parenthetically, I really MISS Kirsten Dunst. Come back, Kiki. Your public needs you...to make fun of. WITH LOVE. You know we love you. I actually just want to embrace you. Remember that time I wanted you to be on a show solving murders with Jason Schwartzman? HE HAS A DETECTIVE SHOW NOW. CALL HIM. PUT ON YOUR FAKE GLASSES AND GET A JOB ON THAT THING. Also, where are my royalties for that?) However, Annie H here is at an event benefiting gay and lesbian civil rights in the state of New York, and I feel like the cheery rainbow-flag trim on her cute little 80s-style dress comes across not as irritatingly self-referential -- like Kiki's was (sorry, Kiki) -- but as a fun little nod to the cause. Thematic, and SUBTLE. Imagine that.

Fab or Fug: Gwen Stefani

Wow, I just got really distracted by Gwen Stefani's face:

She kind of looks weirdly like Judith Light to me here -- or, as one of our photo sources labeled her today, "Judy Light," like the editor there went to high school with her or something. I mean, she looks like Judy Light's DAUGHTER or similar, of course, not as though she is Judith Light's current age, although I'd also like to take this moment to note that I think Judith Light looks great for her age and also I love her on Ugly Betty. But -- questions regarding who may or may not be The Boss aside -- Gwen normally doesn't look the way the person in this picture looks. Is it because, without her trademark red lipstick, my brain doesn't recognize her? Like, I have no muscle memory for THIS Gwen Stefani, so I find the whole thing off-putting on a chemical, neurological level? What I'm saying is: I fear this make-up may have gone a wee awry.

But let's look below the chin and check out the rest of her get-up:

Fugging Out: My Look, My Style, My Life

Fug file:

Come on, guys.

What did you EXPECT Kate Price to wear to promote her new style guide, Standing Out: My Look, My Style, My Life? (I am devastated, by the way, by my assumption that said book will never be published on our American shores.) (Also, you need to see what she wore in the photos accompanying that article. IT IS...BIZARRE AND AMAZING. BIZMAZING.) Frankly, I can't believe she isn't out and about wearing, like, hotpants with her own face bedazzled onto them and pasties made of her book jacket. THAT is what I've come to expect from Katie Price. But an ensemble that appears to be the result of a Star Trek-themed challenge on Project Runway: Juniors (a show I just invented: tweens and teens making outfits! It will be both awesome and INSUFFERABLE)? BORING.

Well Played, Julianne Moore and Amanda Seyfried

AMANDA SEYFRIED: Hi Julianne. You look great.

JULIANNE MOORE: So do you. You could maybe use some lipstick?

AMANDA; You could, too. But honestly...you look young and adorable.

JULIANNE: So do you. Actually, I feel like we could almost trade outfits.

AMANDA: Looking so cute in unison is so BORING.

JULIANNE: I wonder what we wore to the movie premiere later.

ANTM

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.

PARIS: Strike a pose, Nicky! FIERCE! SMIZE! SMIZE FIERCELY!

NICKY: Can I just look bored?

PARIS: NO, NICKY. Be FIERCE.

NICKY: Dude. I just rolled out of bed. I'm trying to just shop like a normal person. Can't I just be a normal person?

PARIS: NO. We NEED ATTENTION. WORK IT.

NICKY: Ugh. I hate being related to you.
