MuchMusic Video Awards Fug: Almost Everyone


Because it’s not just Australia and the UK who chip in with flagrant fuggery. Canada, we salute you. And we beg you to burn Avril’s bike shorts before she brings them back here and tries to make them happen. THEY CAN’T HAPPEN.

    Oh gaga… *sigh* was that ENTIRELY needed? nope. K. Graham is a genius, I love it, in the same way I love my superduper high heels- five minutes in, and all I can think is “was this really a good idea? are you SURE?”
    But a bewildered Colin Farrell makes it all better.

  2. jessicookie

    I really hope the Marianas Trench bubble was supposed to be poking fun at Lady BlahBlah’s egg fiasco.

    Although her red carpet outfit would be an interesting homage to pop art… if anyone else were wearing it.

  3. Allie

    to be fair, Dobrev literally went from her plane into T.O. to the carpet, so I imagine the hair was pretty much thrown up in a ponytail out of necessity and lack of time. i got nothing for the shoes though. and everybody else is crazy.

  4. Jasmine

    Oh Colin Farrell. You make everything better… even the fact that my countrywomen are apparently cray-cray.

  5. Elle

    I watched these on TV–while drinking–and Colin Farrell looked even more uncomfortable to be there when he was presenting. He actually tried to flee the stage as soon as he was done reading the winner, but they wouldn’t let him. I imagine his manager/agent/whoever booked this got a traumatized, drunken voice mail later that night firing him.

    (Simple Plan and Marianas Trench were actually some of the only people who appeared to be enjoying themselves at this disaster, mostly because they didn’t seem to be taking it remotely seriously.)

    #10 should have been a caftan. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN EPIC.

  7. vandalfan

    Dazie took the words out of my mouth. “Why isn’t this a caftan?” i asked as I scrolled down.

    And #13 just made my head explode. Is she that pregnant, but with no breasts? And what is behind her, tight jeans tucked into cowboy boots with a chain- ANDA TAIL.

  8. andrea

    OK, we need to discuss Avril Levigne. She needs to quit wearing the cutesy punk crap. If you’re going to be a female artist and embrace the punk ethos, your clothes need to look like you just picked them up off the floor. You need to look belligerent, smart, and scary.

    SMILING like any other starlet on the red carpet does not go with whatever punk-style she’s trying to fake. And, she’s NOT A DAMN STARLET. This woman is 26 years old. She was wearing this same shit ten years ago. STOP IT.

  9. Willow

    I think it is up to us a society to force Avril to grow up.

  10. Susie Q

    Oh Katerina Graham, there are no words.

  11. krista

    i’m from toronto and these awards are the worst. they feature bands that nobody likes, even in canada, and they give them awards. and all the awards have really confusing names like ‘best international video by a canadian” (?) it’s mostly canadians pretending that they like music from Canada best. then falling over themselves for any american celebrity that shows up.

    they always do interviews on the red carpet and none of the celebs or ‘celebs’ can ever hear what they are being asked because of the screaming girls. Bruno Mars actually yelled at Sarah Taylor “I DON’T KNOW WHAT YOU ARE SAYING”. in other favourite moments, Sarah Taylor asked Colin Farrell what Canadian bands he loves and he couldn’t think of any. she says “but Fefe Dobson is here”!!??? right…..

    Well, THAT was a new low for Gaga. Not even shocking, just sad.

  13. Blanche

    Avril Lavigne, when she was little, had a cute schtick, in being a pretty blonde girl in punk clothes. You could imagine a sensitive, middleclass Canadian junior-high school girl wanting to toughen up her look to convey that she was open to considering that life is not exactly soccer camp for everybody. Now that she’s an adult, the suburban doll face (“Head’s in the MaryKay layercake!”)-meets 1990′s ripped black stockings is flat-out creepy. The latex bike shorts are only a small portion of the effusive creepiness there.

  14. Lina

    Only in Canada would people refrain from reaching up and ripping the fur right off Gaga’s bits. Sure, you’d get kicked out of the venue, but good lord. How much would her fake-pubic pelt go for on ebay?

    Desperately wish Avril would get the memo that she’s not 17 anymore and dressing from her good old days will not actually recreate her former success.

    Dear Ian, shave your neck. Please.

  15. ok

    Avril Lavine is in her mid-twenties and has a lot of money. STOP WEARING SHIT FROM HOT TOPIC.

    Re: GaGa

    I think the phrase you were looking for is “the carpet matches the drapes.” Curtains and drapes are the same thing. In this case, that thing is “lame.”

  17. Arch Roberts

    Is Avril wearing SKI BOOTS?

  18. marie

    However insane it is, I love Ms Graham’s dress. The colour is divine with her skintone.
    Also i kinda like LAdy Gag’s hair that colour. MAybe I just have a thing for teal.

  19. marcia

    lol Colin Farrell. Somebody TOTALLY got fired. Maybe many somebodies….from the driver on up.

  20. Sharell

    Note to Fefe Dobson: when you’re that little, and your stomach looks like it’s about fourteen seconds away from reenacting that scene in “V” where she has the lizard baby, YOUR DRESS IS TOO SMALL.

  21. yeahandalso

    Colin is making the rounds promoting horrible bosses, also don’t look a gift horse in the mouth.

    Both Avril and Taylor Momsen would do well to start looking up some past rock singers…10 years ago you’d never have caught Gwen Stefani or Shirlly Manson dead in any of the stuff those to wannabes wear

  22. Kris in Canada

    Guys, I swear we have better talent than this in Canada. Like, winners of the Polaris Prize, not the MMVAs.

  23. CJ

    Avril Lavigne: how old is she? At one time she WAS a teenager, but now that is a costume since she’s a twenty-something, right?

    Nina Dobrev: you are lovely. You look like JWoww’s young, innocent, super pretty sister, but those shoes make you look like Minnie Mouse.

    Gaga: oy. How do I UNSEE that?

  24. Rayna

    Nikki Reed: Scroll UP fug. Waist down, kinda cute and intriguing. Waist up, HYENOUS.

  25. quichepup

    Why is Katerina Graham wearing my aunt’s old garden hose?

  26. K.

    Shut up, Avril Lavigne.

  27. Tracy L

    Gaga is so hungry for attention that she wears fake pubes on her clothes and thinks she is the shit of fashion?? I am surprised she got on TV like that. Very sad.
    And yes, Avril, you’re in your mid-twenties. Deal.With.It.

  28. Mertseger

    Hey, we all foresaw the inevitability of the dayglo merkin the moment Gaga first emerged in her first pantsless dress des bubbles. No, what intrigues me is why she has not allocated herself more training time in stiltwalking given the every increasing height of her platforms. Seriously, she falls off those things all the time.

  29. Kate

    In her red carpet pic, I think Gaga looks almost acceptable kooky instead of “OMG LOOK AT ME LOOK AT ME LOOK AT MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!”

    I, too, dig the teal hair, and if it weren’t for the stupid bedazzled hoof boots (good lord, the woman has no other shoes apparently), it’s kinda cool… The jacket is nifty and a great color, and the legging/tight things are event appropriate. Not a big fan of the purple net glove dealies, but they are minor.

    Plus, she doesn’t have any weird crap on her face, just glasses. WIN!

    If she would move more towards these kind of looks, I would be absolutely thrilled and not despise myself for liking her music from time to time, haha.

  30. EAG46

    Nice to see Colin Farrell out and about. Still won’t see that “Horrible Bosses” movie though.

  31. www.bravoerunway.com

    This look would have been awesome had she worn a pair of full length leggings or leather leggings because she can pull it off and it suits the t-shirt. The lacy knee high after the 3/4 leggings was off. http://www.bravoerunway.com

  32. Tia

    I like how I am sitting in New Brunswick right now like I have for most of the last 28 years and I have never heard of the Mia Martina person, or whatever her name is. The MMVA suuuuuuuck.

  33. mare

    I am in New Brunswick, I am from New Brunswick, I have never heard of this person either. I have no idea who she is.

    I also concur with the Polaris Prize shout-out. Way cooler.

  34. Marly

    Dear Nina Dobrev,
    HIRE A STYLIST! TVD got renewed for season 3, you can afford it. If you have a stylist, FIRE the bitch, she hates you.

    Dear Avril: You are NOT 16 anymore. And you were a poser back THEN too.
    P.S. We hate you.

    Dear Ian: You try too hard. You’re hot and don’t need to try.so.hard. Dating Nina makes you less cool, and makes me thinks you’re kinda creepy since she looks like 13 yr. old.

  35. witjunkie

    OK, I thought Avril Lavigne WAS Taylor Momsen at first. Pass the torch already, girl. Time to grow up and start dressing like Lindsay Lohan.

  36. Mary Jeannine Grace-Harbison

    I am so Gaga confused!!!!!!! Love the teal hair, but PLEASE keep your teal pubes to yourself….. and then, the shoes. WTF! They are scary!!!!!!

  37. TonyG

    I kinda liked Gaga’s blazer.

  38. Bambi Anne Dear

    Fefe Whoeversheis should hold her stomach in, never reveal those legs and throw away those shoes.
    Colin Farrell is so delicious. He was featured in a recent photography exhibition here in Sydney in a shot taken by a friend of mine when he (CF) was backpacking around this sunny land of ours as a teenager. And, I assume, an aspiring actor. My God he was jailbait.
    I loved Gaga’s hair joke.

  39. Bambi Anne Dear
  40. LemonFresh

    You know, I actually like Gaga’s red-carpet outfit. (Her other “carpet” outfit, well, let’s just try to forget about that.) Okay, I’m not a huge fan of the hoof-platforms, but considering what she normally wears, this looks pretty sharp.

    Also, Avril, really? You look 12. Not only that, but like a 12-year-old who’s trying to make a “statement” in the most annoying way possible. It’s creepy. Stop it.

  41. NYCGirl

    That Cody Simpson person actually looks older than Bieber. And yeah, Avril Lavigne needs to give it a rest.

  42. annieb

    why does it look like fefe dobson is pregnant in two separate wombs?

  43. Nikki

    Colin look great from the hairplugs down

  44. Emma

    Remember how for one brief shining moment Avril Lavigne grew up and started wearing pretty dresses and a whole lot less eyeliner? That lasted all of five minutes.

  45. Faye

    I’ll give Nina a pass on the shoes because I think she has such narrow feet it’s probably hard to find ones that DON’T look big. The dress is kinda cute.

    Ian, Ian, Ian . . . I’ll always think you’re the hotness, but puh-LEASE shave, get a haircut, and take a shower. Even you’re not pulling off this Derelict look.

  46. Kara

    Mmmm … Colin Farrell.

  47. ChaChaheels

    Colin Farrell with his pre-whiskered jeans! The poor man is old enough (and randy enough) to be everyone else’s father….
    (though he’s dressed better than 99% of everyone there on Queen Street)

  48. KK

    I actually like Nina’s dress. It’s a bit shiny for my taste, but it’s pretty and interesting to look at. I don’t mind the hair that much… it looks like it was subjected to some humidity, but otherwise I’m a fan. I like high ponytails in general as a way to make formal cocktail dresses more casual though, so that might just be my own weird thing. Definitely makes her look even younger. The shoes are definitely off.

    Ian S. looks ridiculous. I like suspenders, but I feel like it’s either 2 or nothing. Also, he needs to shave.

  49. Angela D

    I agree with Lina and Alli and K et all… Remember when Avril (or Avril’s people) made a half assed attempt to pretty up her look? I recall a spread in Bazaar and everything. She looked really pretty and lots of designers were courting her and she was so into the fashion thing… If you can’t remember it’s because it lasted all of 3 minutes. May have been around ’06. She was newly married – whenever that was. Anyway, wish she’d give it another try. Or better yet just fade out to make room for the new girls.

    Oh my goodness, I laughed so hard through out this post that I most choked. A couple of these crazy kids almost got it right (mainly Shay, Nikki Reed) but the rest: yikes!

  51. Peachsiki

    ok so as a Canadian I speak for the majority when I say, America, you can have Avril. It’s annoying to see a grown woman dressing like that, it’s not edgy and makes you look irrelevant.
    I had to giggle at gaga, you’d think if you performed pantsless all the time you would at least trim them before they got long enough to braid.

    Now I remember why I don’t watch Much music anymore, any idea if they still play decent music videos? Nope? Just reruns of shows like the O.C.? Call me when they play reruns of 80s and 90s popup video.

  52. Brucenhk
  53. Fahnette

    While we’re on the subject of Gaga–Please please PLEASE fug the Weird Al video. There’s some seriously inspired stuff in there.

  54. Silly Mama

    I have a gigantic 32″ monitor so I can say with absolute certainty that Avril’s pants have zippers at knee level so she can actually zip those lacy parts right the fuck on off if she wants. That is even more perplexing.

    Also, while Fefe Dobson looks like all around ass, I have to give an extra nod of contempt for those hideous shoes. I do believe they have rocking chair rockers instead of heels. Jesus.

  55. Lynette

    I love how Gaga’s shoes look like they are covered in a swarm of bees. I also approve of the teal hair. On her head. She can have teal pubes, but I don’t really want to see them.

  56. ThisIsMyFace

    @Brucenhk – I have warned you before… stop!

  57. Ladyblahblah

    Avril Lavigne: ’70′s horror flick Zombie cheerleader on top, Demi Moore 1989 Oscar afterparty on bottom. The Bristol Palin of Canada – no matter how much money she has you just can’t get her out of the trailer park.
