Fugger: Katie Holmes

Well Played, Katie Holmes, Except WTF


Aw. MEMORIES. This is the first time in a while Katie Holmes reminds me of the Katie Holmes of yore, back when she was a cute starlet and not Mrs. Cruise, Preternaturally Shiny Object of Couch-Hopping Lust.

Jessica and I couldn’t muster too much more for this than, “It seems sort of all right… right?” Although why she was at a Women In Film ceremony — at which she appeared to be accepting an award — is a bit of a mystery, considering Mad Money was a messy flop and she was booted out of the Batman franchise. Still, she is a woman who has been on film. So that’s technically all you need. Well, that, and a frock that doesn’t make people’s souls quit. I mean, remember when she was running around town in Tom’s jeans? Thank God she stopped trying to make that happen. I feared we were thisclose to Kitson selling a denim line called Jeans That Tom Wore that were ACTUAL pre-owned pants of his.

But the main reason we wanted to feature her is to stir the pot. Because guess who else was there?

sorry, it’s not pacey, but it’s pacey-adjacent

Fugs and Fabs: Katie Holmes


Shall we take a gander at what Katie “Joey ‘Kate Cruise’ Potter” Holmes has been wearing lately? WE SHALL.  A warning for those of you with crippling Rumpled Shortsaphobia: things are about to get very real for you.

KATIE: So, yeah. ReelzChannel.

TOM: Beats the HeelzChannel!

KATIE: Right. So let’s get this straight. Nicole got To Die For and Moulin Rouge, and I got Mad Money and then a bunch of humiliating song-and-dance appearances and then FINALLY I got to play Jackie O and it’s suddenly just for THE REELZCHANNEL?

TOM: Also better than the WheelzChannel!

KATIE: Uh-huh.

TOM: Or the FeelzChannel, for low-rent porn!

KATIE: Helpful.

TOM: Or the SpielzChannel, all about people standing up and giving speeches! Or the PeelzChannel, for skinning oranges, or the BielzChannel, or the Tatum O’NealzChannel…

KATIE: Are you drunk?

TOM: Why do you ask?

KATIE: Well, you’re not making sense, and your shoes look like you spilled beer on them.

TOM: I resemble that remark! HAHA!

KATIE: I knew it. I can’t believe you told me this looked good. It’s BORING. I just played Jackie O, but I look like Joey P. It’s essentially a TANK TOP. It doesn’t even fit my boobs that well. Remember when I wore expensive stuff that actually LOOKED expensive? Even if it was crazy? I DID NOT MARRY YOU SO I COULD STILL LOOK LIKE JOEY POTTER. NICOLE NEVER DID THIS. WHERE DID IT GO WRONG.

TOM: Probably with us getting married in the first place. It’s kind of like a show on the SurrealzChannel.

KATIE: STOP IT.

TOM: Oh, whatever. Try turning on the SuckItUpAndDealzChannel.

Is it that bad?

Fug or Fab: Katie Holmes


On the heels of her elimination from Fug Madness, Katie Holmes celebrated by going to an event looking actually halfway decent.

I kind of like the tuxedo jacket on her, and although the snug-fit capris are not my favorite, the overall look is a lot more chic than she has been lately. Then again, “lately” for her has been a horror version of Alice In Wonderland in which she kills and skins the White Rabbit for a spring shrug, so perhaps my basis for comparison is askew. I did just have the stomach flu, after all, so I’m prone to statements like, “Well, I feel better than when I was curled up on my bathroom floor praying for unconsciousness.”

So, what is this?

Fug Madness 2011, Round One: Bjork Bracket


(6) XTINA v. (11) CHERYL COLE

Surely, if you are reading this particular Web site, you are at least vaguely aware of what Christina Aguilera here has been up to of late, namely: promoting Burlesque with Cher, continuing to hang out with Cher, then falling off stages and getting boozed up. We’ve seen a lot of Xtina lately – remember her Globes ensemble? Also known as the night we all realized how much she looks like Snooki all of a sudden  — but allow me, please, to take this moment and remind you what she did this summer, while she was promoting her (non-starter) album:

Yeah.

And also this:

It’s nice to see a celebrity recycling outfits the way the rest of us do. Of course, for me that means I wear the same dress more than once. For her, it apparently means using different hot-pants to sass up her BeDazzled tights.

After the jump, A MESSAGE:

I sincerely don’t know what is going on here with Katie Holmes:

But maybe someone should have told Katie Holmes that they re-made Alice in Wonderland just last year.

That being said, if she’s at a place in her career where she’s trying to convince people to cast her in iconic roles simply by prancing around town already decked out in full costume, then I have some suggestions for her — suggestions that, obviously, stem solely from the fact that I’d like to see her try to pull off the following looks while waiting at the valet stand outside Nobu for her car:

  • The Wicked Witch of the West
  • Supergirl
  • Eleanor of Aquitaine (the imprisoned years)
  • Basketball coach Rick Pitino
  • artist Salvador Dali
  • Dawson Leery
  • The Virgin Mary

And I’d argue that the photo after the jump means she’s ALSO trying to land herself a gig on Pretty Little Liars

Like Sydney Andrews couldn’t take Joey Potter
