Shannyn Fuggamon

I had thought, apparently too optimistically, that we were done with Shannyn Sossamon. I never understood her brief tenure as an “It Girl,” and she never seemed capable of acting her way out of a paper bag — not even one with a massive escape hatch torn in the side. Given her abrupt appearance and short string of uncharismatic performances (A Knight’s Tale, 40 Days and 40 Nights), it seemed somehow right that she just as suddenly disappeared from the public eye shortly after popping out a sprog and naming it Audioscience. I would have fled, too.

And yet, she is apparently back and starring in a movie called Undiscovered that also features Miss Ashlee Simpson.

And, she has reappeared smack in the middle of a bad fad-crosspollination — a boho/pants-under-dress hybrid.

Blonde On The Left, I am not crazy about your Bob’s Bridal Discounters dress with what look like pre-molded spots for your chest that you are not quite filling out; Ashlee, I’m going to leave you alone, because we’ve had some harsh words lately and you look much better than you did then. But Shannyn… you look a wee bit like a Goth farm girl. I appreciate that your jeans are at least the right length — congratulations on being the only person in Hollywood to achieve this — but please, dump the petticoat.
