Fugger: Sandra Bullock

Fug or Fab: Sandra Bullock


Hey there, Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, I’m totally not going to see you — I can’t deal with 9/11 movies, because it’s too upsetting for me, even now. I read a book last year, in fact, that was advertised as a “sparkling comedy of manners!” that had a twist ending, of which I was unaware, and it wasn’t until I was like 100 pages in that I realized that I had no idea what year this book was set in, and it was like 200 pages in that I realized everything was happening in Manhattan during the summer of 2001 and I was really, really, really irritated that I had somehow bought a book that ended WITH SEPTEMBER 11TH when I was TOLD I was buying a book that was A SPARKLING COMEDY OF MANNERS. SPARKLING COMEDIES DON’T END IN TERRORISM AND DEATH. IT’S A RULE. Ahem. Anyway. I don’t want to see this movie, but I am grateful that it has been released at the point in the year when no one is leaving the house, because it means we get to talk about Sandy:

She is pretty, her hair is pretty, and I think she’s almost pulling this off, even though it is a SATIN PANTSUIT. Yes, I think the legs are a wee bit too long — like, an eighth of an inch — and SATIN PANTSUIT screams “That Year You Were Obsessed With Tom Ford For Gucci” to me, which makes me feel old, but… I don’t know. Girlfriend is kind of working it. Right?

Right?

Fug or Fab: Sandra Bullock


So, here’s the thing. I don’t really advocate reveling in someone else’s struggles. But I think we can all agree that, at least publicly, Jesse James came off so disgusting and douchey in the aftermath of splitting up with Sandra Bullock — especially when he would go out and, like, publicly knock their sex life as part of his tributes to his enduring love and chemistry and perfect harmony with his tattooed replacement vagina Kat Von D — that I seriously do not know how Sandra resisted ordering up a marching band and parading through Austin to dance on the grave of their recently ended relationship. That is taking the high road. Which can’t have been easy.

However: I do wish she had used this big premiere to look so fabulous that it was like a bonus stake through his rude heart. This pantsuit disappoints me. Pants are not always the answer, Sandy.

Or are they?

Oscars Fugs and Fabs: Best and Worst Reds


Yet again, the default hue for everyone who wanted color was red. In fact, there was an interesting article in the New York Times before the Oscars about Jennifer Lawrence’s stylist, in which she asked the folks at handbag guru Judith Leiber whether they’d heard about much red, and the answer was — as of five days prior to the telecast — that only one other person had mentioned it. Lawrence’s stylist replied:

“See, this is the reason it worries me. [...] There have been a lot of red dresses out there in the past season, so it seems a little obvious, it’s annoying. It’s always an Oscar color, but it’s maddening.”

And here we are, with no fewer than thirteen people in the shade (and Hathaway did it twice). A lot of them did it really, really well… but not all of them. Let’s take a tour through the options and then pick a definitive winner and loser. The winner gets bragging rights, and the loser has to wear a hat made out of Melissa Leo’s “CONSIDER ME” ads.

Oscars Well Played: Sandra Bullock


I really admire Sandra Bullock. I  mean, I don’t know her, so it’s entirely possible that she’s a nutbag in person — although I sincerely doubt it — but I have to give props to her for showing up at the Oscars, KNOWING everyone would be thinking, “poor muffin. This time last year, her life was about to EXPLODE IN HER FACE,” and looking HOT:

Looking hot, AND appearing totally relaxed and charming and not at all like, “hey, remember my asshat ex-husband? I STILL WANT TO KICK HIM IN THE NUTS,” which probably would have been my mien at the event, which is one of the many many reasons that it’s good I rarely go out in public.

And the back rocks

Golden Globes Fug Carpet: Sandra Bullock


Jessica and I were wondering if Sandy — understandably — was doing nothing but think about how this time last year, she had a secret adopted baby and was married to a dude she DIDN’T think was cheating on her with a neo-Nazi. Because look at her face:

The dress isn’t great either — it kind of drooped on her — but it also ended up beside the point, because I can’t focus on anything except the fact that she so clearly doesn’t want to be seen. And to that end, so that she looks as different as possible from the sunny, happy, VISIBLE Sandra from last year, she evidently borrowed a Nikki Sixx wig and gave it a loving blow-out. it Is A Look That Kills
