Fugger: Johnny Depp
West of Fug
This fall, Warner Bros and Tim Burton present the newest chapter in the epic Tim Burton/Johnny Depp cinematic bromance. A film that will touch you in all the weirdest places….and end in the highest-pitched caterwauling. Set in a world where men name Debra Messing’s Smash character as their greatest style inspiration, and everyone pretends space dementia is a real thing, there is….:
…Dude Looks Like a Lady: The Steven Tyler Story.
Coming in October to a theater near you.

Fugs and Fabs (Mostly Fugs, Though, Let’s Face It): The Dark Shadows Events
15 photos in galleryDuring Met Ball Mania, we missed both the U.K. and U.S. premieres of Dark Shadows. And here is where I am about to cast myself away on a lonely island, with nary a balding adventurer, nor hero-complex-imbued doctor, nor fiending rocker, nor former torturer, nor even a raffish rake with MacGyver’d specs to keep me amused. Are you ready? Okay: I am maybe a little weary of Helena Bonham Carter’s style, even though I do recognize that it is super amusing and individual; sometimes I wish she would stop making Tim Burton movies, because seeing her in The King’s Speech reminded me what a terrific actress she still is when she’s not playing a human cartoon all the time; and — this is the biggie – I have never really understood the Johnny Depp thing. I KNOW. I’m sorry. I mean, as an ACTOR, I think he’s very talented, but as a heartthrob, he does not compute for me. Perhaps this is because I missed out on 21 Jump Street because it didn’t air where I grew up? We may never know. But there it is: I would not like to be a Depper too. So bring it. Pillory me, Fug Nation. I know it’s coming. The line forms to the left.
Also within: Michelle Pfeiffer and Eva Green, the latter of whom should totally have her own vigilante alter ego called Dark Shadows.

Fuglates of the Caribbean
I never thought I’d say this, but…
… I think I miss the torn jeans, flannels, and shaggy hair. Johnny Doo-Wop is chilling the cockles of my heart, and RIGHT when the Royal Wedding had ‘em all warm, too.

The Tourfug
9 photos in galleryAt this point, exactly WHAT Angelina wears to a premiere is secondary to my imaginings about how she and Brad script their red-carpet stroll. They’re like the anti-Ben and Jen, who don’t like to bother with the togetherness routine at all, perhaps because they are trying to avoid having fake dialogues written by a bunch of bloggers with fingers steeped in sass. I can’t imagine why they might fear that. But if you’re wondering, no, it’s not my favorite Angelina outfit, and yes, you will get to see the entire thing, and YES, Johnny Depp is involved.

Freaky Fug Friday: Johnny Depp
I’m so excited about this week’s giveaway. And also really excited for all of you to see what Johnny Depp is up to:
I am pretty sure he thinks he’s Indiana Jones now? At any rate, he’s clearly happy to be giving the crowd here his blessing.
THE TASK: Please write The Benediction Of Johnny Depp, AKA the blessing he’s giving his fans in this picture.
THE RULES: All entries must be posted in the comments of this post by 9 p.m. Pacific time on MONDAY.
THE PRIZE: This week, we are happy to be giving away five (5) copies of the new book The Power of Style: Everything You Need to Know Before Getting Dressed Tomorrow, by TODAY show style editor Bobbie Thomas. I have read the book, and I have to say, I think it’s really great. There are A LOT of style guides out there, but this one is sincerely helpful, and it went way beyond the old “everyone needs a white shirt/take your pants to a tailor!” advice we all already know and into actually really useful information. I think you will all seriously enjoy it.
From Amazon: “Beyond understanding your best colors and figure-flattering clothes, Bobbie takes a unique step back in this inspiring guide to empower you to feel stylish, smart, sexy, and satisfied—with a look that’s uniquely your own…
You can’t live life naked, so after you brush your teeth in the morning, you put “something” on. It’s the first decision of your day, but have you ever considered that it’s also one of the most important? Style goes far beyond fashion and beauty and is a powerful way to say who we are and get what we want. Your “style speak” comes through in a louder “voice” than anything you might scream from a rooftop. But often, there is so much focus on the outside that we forget to step back and understand that style really starts inside.
From your love life to your career, and the less obvious moments in between, the way people see you will filter your opportunities. Ultimately, what they see is what you get. In part I of this must-have style guide, Bobbie Thomas will help you identify what you’d like others to see and boost your confidence, and in part II , she’ll show you how to find your best colors and cuts, edit your closet, and more, so you can build a better, more useful wardrobe.”
This contest is open to US residents only.
