Happy weekend, Fug Nation! While you’re waiting for the factory horn to blow:
– It’s nice to read that Hugh Jackman is actually as awesome as we want him to be. (Lainey)
– Chloe Sevigny dressed up like Terry Richardson for the cover of a magazine, which would be more interesting if Terry Richardson were not, as Celebitchy points out, a noted perv. (Celebitchy)
– This story — about a woman stuck in SFO for eight days (!) because she couldn’t pay her bag fees — is amazing and bizarre on multiple levels. (Time)
– You will enjoy this list of IKEA’s most ridiculous names. Personally, whenever I go to IKEA, I like to read the names of every product aloud. This is part of why I’m single. (Flavorwire)
– You may have heard that ABC is developing a reboot of Judith Krantz’s Scruples. We are SO excited. But first! Let’s revisit the original mini-series. IT IS AMAZING. (Sighs and Whispers)
– The FBI has declared the Juggalos a gang, officially, which sounds like the set-up for an amazing episode of something. (Wired)
– Speaking of law enforcement, it seems this dude tried to give a police office a taco when asked for his form of ID. Maybe he just really IDENTIFIES with tacos. They are delicious! (LA Weekly)
– The inside of the Fendi atelier is amazing. Plus: Diet Coke gelato. (The Selby, via Refinery29)
– If you are a Kelly Clarkson fan — as we are – you will enjoy this article about her in the New York Times, as it is essentially about why she is awesome. (NY Times)
– If you liked the posters about STDs I linked to last week, you’ll enjoy these posters for public housing. (The Atlantic)

Ah Friday. Husband not yet home from work. Kid at grammas. It’s just me and GFY and a delicious malted beverage, which is…empty? How did that happen?
Thanks for your great work!
Now I like Hugh Jackman; and I am going to try to implement the Intern George “work-tha-room” in the future. Action plan: uncomfortably close, eye lock, never stop moving.
Yay Kelly Clarkson!
This interview with her was pretty cool too: http://www.metro.co.uk/music/878864-kelly-clarkson-id-have-done-ok-on-the-voice-but-not-the-x-factor
I actually re-read the Scruples trilogy once a year. At least.
OMG!!!!!! I had no idea who Terry Richardson was until a few days ago when I saw the picture of Kat Dennings (whom I adore) that he had taken for GQ Magazine: http://www.gq.com/women/photos/201111/kat-dennings-gq-photos-interview-november-2011
But, now I’m totally disgusted by the man and hate the fact that she had to work with him, even though I love the photograph, which is GORGEOUS! Eeeeeeeeewwwwwww!!!!!!!!!!!!
Julien Macdonald seems as if very inspired by Mark Fast
I found this on twitter http://t.co/m5m84i8p

Please please please, ladies, please don’t link to Lainey. I’d give you anything you want or can imagine if you’ll stop. She’s so self-obsessed, I feel like I’m reading posts by a Kardashian on those times I’m not paying close attention and accidentally click through to her blog.
Don’t make me associate her with you guys, please!
Scruples? Hells yes. God, I miss the days of the sweeping epic Judith Krantz and Danielle Steel miniseries.
And JB, I completely agree on Lainey. Ugh.
Anne på Grönkulla!
Oh my God… I have also re-read Scruples at least once a year for at least two decades, but I’ve never seen the original miniseries and didn’t even know that it existed. This has changed.my.life, people – I can’t wait to track it down!
It’s on Youtube…I rewatched this weekend
You had me at diet coke gelato.

Okay, when I run the universe, every woman will be issued her own personal Hugh Jackman.
Yes, Virginia, there IS a Hugh Jackman. Thank you for sharing!
I was in IKEA today, and I overheard at least two people doing that, so, you’re normal.
