Fugger: Carly Rae Jepsen

Billboard Music Awards Fug Carpet: Black and White and WTF All Over


As more and more pictures rolled in, I finally snapped and e-mailed Jessica, “EVERYONE NAKED AND DUMB AT THIS THING.”

Freaky Fug Friday: Carly Rae Jepsen


Well, Carly Rae Jepsen really loves her some leather short shorts, doesn’t she? These are almost like leather BIKE shorts, a phrase that must never pass my lips — or my keyboard — again:

THE TASK: Imagine that Carly Rae is singing an Ode to Shorts now. Name that tune. (Literally: give us the title — and only the title – of a fictional song that’s an Ode to Shorts.)

THE RULES: All entries must be posted in the comments of this post by 9 p.m. Pacific time on MONDAY.

THE PRIZE: We have three copies of the great new cookbook Classic Snacks Made From Scratch: 70 Homemade Versions of Your Favorite Brand-Name Treats. Per Amazon, “A cream-filled chocolate cupcake for dessert. Caramel popcorn while watching a movie. An ice cream sandwich on a hot summer day. What could be better than indulging in your favorite guilty pleasures? Having the fun and satisfaction of making them yourself with all-natural ingredients so they taste more delicious than the brand-name originals.”You know you want to know how to make Klondike Bars at home.

Fug the Show(s): New Year’s Eve Countdowns


I was going to say, “I don’t know why I bother to watch these things,” but that would be a lie: I DVR them SPECIFICALLY so that we can all have a laugh at whatever hopeless shenanigans are passing for Exciting. New Year’s Eve. Entertainment. It’s like the universe wants to remind us all that the calendar may change, but fug is forever.

Fug the Cover: Carly Rae Jepsen on Cosmopolitan


I thought Cosmo had an iconic repeated cover pose — hand on hip, etc. — but maybe I made that up, or the great Joanna Coles is changing that now that she’s swooped in to, presumably, rescue it from being a magazine that shouts things at vaginas.

They  might have been better off with The Pose, because now I can see her under-buttock — you know, that place where the curve of your thigh drifts out and becomes the curve of your cheeks. She’s also wearing a pattern that looks like swatch vomit, but worst of all, to me, is that they made Carly Rae Jepsen look strung out here. Or something; something is off. She definitely doesn’t look like herself; for a second I thought it was Michelle Monaghan — although, to be fair to Michelle Monaghan, my actual thought was, “Man, Michelle Monaghan loons strung out on that cover.” There’s just something terrible and wacky and unappealing about it to me, like she hadn’t slept in three days so they just leaned her against a green screen, asked her to look at them for a second, and Photoshopped out her smartphone. I wouldn’t want to have lunch with that person, much less spend $5 to bring her back to my house and get me all stressed out about why her eyes aren’t focusing.

MTV EMAs Slightly Better Played: Carly Rae Jepsen


Okay, so the headline here is misleading. I don’t really think this is that hot. But I’m just relieved CRJ is wearing something that actually does belong on a 26-year old person, as opposed to how she usually looks, which is like a Saturday Night Live actress languishing in a skit about toddlers.

Still on my list: a new hairstyle that flatters her face; an accomplished tailor; and a friend who knows when and how to send her to the aforementioned tailor. But the fabric is pretty. If you yanked it up and then fit it to her properly, and maybe threw in some better accessories and a headband, we might be able to get ourselves off this hellish roundabout.

Fug Me Maybe


First of all, I am still REALLY WORRIED about the whereabouts of the Letterman Dumpster. Have they moved Dumpster out of camera range? HOW DARE YOU SILENCE DUMPSTER? I am going to start losing sleep worrying about the fate of the Letterman  Dumpster. Next time one of you guys walks past Letterman, will you check on Dumpster’s Whereabouts for me? I’d do it myself, except…you know, I’m in LA.

In fact, I am so concerned about Dumpster that I didn’t even notice until just now that Call Me Maybe’s Crop Top and Skirt are not even the same fabric, but in fact one is BeDazzled whilst the other is NOT. God. I need to take a nap already and it’s not even lunch time.

PS: Those shoes hurt my feelings unless they’re on the feet of a second grade girl, in which case I want to fist-bump her because she’s awesome.
