Fugger: Katharine McPhee

Met Ball Fugs and Fabs: Oranges


Can I say again how much I love the Met Ball? Three green gowns, three yellow ones (that I remember), and five — five! — orange ones. Even Kristen Wiig got on the color wheel, y’all! Hollywood, why are you so BORING the rest of the year?

Fug or Fab: Katherine McPhee


You guys, I really like Smash. I don’t know if I think it’s incredibly good — I mean, HOW MANY TIMES with Kat McPhee end up at a karaoke bar? Why is it that EVERY SINGLE TIME Anjelica Huston goes out to eat in that one-cafe town, New York, her ex-husband JUST HAPPENS to be there? — but it’s definitely HUGELY entertaining.

I might feel the same way about this dress. I might ostensibly realize it has some problems — she looks a bit like she was run over by the UPS dude — but I think I like it on her? That being said, we covered over 100 Oscar looks this week. I’m so glad this isn’t formal wear that I might give ANYTHING the thumbs up, even if the UPS truck were still attached.

So you tell me:

I am excited about Smash. If it’s good, that’s going to be fun and if it’s terrible, that will ALSO be fun. Maybe even MORE fun.

And anything that has McPhee back to brunette is okay with me.  This outfit might be okay with me, too — although anyone with a stylist worth her snuff should know that the combination of tea length skirt + photographers on a riser = Stumpsville. And we want to stay out of Stumpsville as long as we can — much as we want to avoid taking a trip to Dowdytown, or moving to Matronlyburg.

Golden Globes Well Played: Katharine McPhee


I guess? I mean, right?

It’s very pretty, and very delicate, and I actually think this works on her, despite the Lack of Color. I like the interesting hem, and it fits nicely and IT’S THE END OF THE WEEK ALMOST I’VE SEEN SO MANY GOWNS SO SO MANY GOWNS AND YOU’VE JUST WORN ME DOWN, KATHARINE. You look pretty. This is pretty. EVERYTHING IS FINE I NEED TO LIE DOWN.

I know by now the blonde phase in Katharine McPhee’s history is far behind her. But that doesn’t mean I’m not still relieved every time she turns up in public with her normal hair color. Because this? This was bad. This was bad on the level of making me wonder if she’d gotten hammered during a 90210 marathon and decided Kelly Joins A Cult was her new fashion inspiration. Now that we’ve gotten the hair sorted out — even Kelly Taylor eventually straightened up and chose herself — let’s see how Lady McPheever doing with the clothes. A girl can’t drag NBC out of the ratings swamp without some killer outfits, can she?

Who Fugged It More (Or Less): Katharine McPhee vs. Kim Kardashian


In the same week, Kim Kardashian and Katharine McPhee — star of the upcoming (midseason, I think) NBC series about a musical, called Smash, that stars Debra Messing and which I expect might make ME go smash — wore strikingly similar ensembles: white sleeveless top, black skirt, updo. And that makes them ripe for a comparison, because really, who doesn’t love a little fug fight? The other question is, of course, whether any of it is fugly at all. And I have a suspicion this might be one that the Kard will win. I KNOW. Join me.

Who is your winner?
