Apparently, the Summer of Sony involves a bunch of celebrities going to Cancun to promote their movies, at which point all the women in said films have to get trussed up in cocktails dresses and heel while the men look, you know, like they’re on a beach vacay in Cancun. I’m just saying, if Salma Hayek has to wear Spanx, would it KILL Adam Sandler to put on A REAL SHIRT?

I mean, it’s not like this is terrifyingly tasteless or anything, in a giant-safety-pin-parade kind of way. And I understand that it’s pink because they are at a pink-themed party.
But it’s so Glinda the Good Witch meets Little Mermaid. At a beauty pageant. I’m exhausted just looking at it.

For some reason I have such a hard time embracing Alexis Bledel’s bangs. It’s not that I’m anti-bang; I think it’s that sometimes change is hard, and so even though I believe Alexis actually did have bangs as Rory Gilmore at one point, the Rory Gilmore I will always remember and treasure is this one, and so the bangs are always like a gut punch. I guess it’s human nature to prefer what we know best.
That said, she’s obviously growing up as beautifully as we would all hope (unless you hated Rory Gilmore, in which case, I guess, I’m sorry that she did not sprout three other heads that spew bile and cicadas). But I am not sure how to feel about the dress — the hemline feels a touch like it’s in No Man’s Land, and the cutouts at the waist and shoulders seem like they’re SUPPOSED to be referential of one another but for me they actually end up competing. Also, because they are two people I like, I wish she and Zach Levi were doing something more high-profile together than a Hallmark movie that sounds like The Vow meets 50 First Dates. Also, those movies feel like they already have met. Maybe those two movies themselves have amnesia about the fact that they’ve met, which yielded this movie, which then seems to have forgotten it is an echo of two movies that already met, and… yup, there it goes: Brain pretzel.

I guess, when it comes right down to it, I kind of don’t GET THIS:
I am on record as loving a neck ruffle — and her! She’s so cute! — but this neck ruffle is leaking like a poorly patched tarp, and it’s as 90s as a double billing of Reality Bites and Singles as attended by a coalition of Amnesty International and the people who wrote on the Sassy men’s magazine spin-off Dirt after a joint trip to the Doc Martens sale. Why would I say this? Because I’m old and I REMEMBER the 90s and seventy-five percent of us went to prom in this fabric.

Fugs and Fabs: The E! Upfront
So, they had a red carpet — complete with fans! — at the E! upfronts, and yet Giuliana and Seacrest were walking the carpet rather than working it. I can’t deal with that level of self-reflexiveness.
