Here’s the thing, Ke$ha:
If it sucks so much wearing butt rosettes, fur collars, and a rope glued to your head… then DON’T. Ninety-nine percent of the universe is living proof that it’s possible.

VMAs Fug Carpet: Dane Cook
There is a story that’s been circulating about Dane Cook for a while, namely that he got asked to leave the apartment building in which he was living in Los Angeles — a truly spectacular building, one that is so pretty that you almost crash into the trees around it because you’re craning your neck to look at it — because he refused to take his dog out. Like, ever. He’d just — ALLEGEDLY — open his apartment door and let the dog answer the call of nature in the hallway. You can imagine how much his neighbors appreciated this. I never really paid this story much credence.
But THIS dude? This dude totally looks like the douchey neighbor who lets his dog shit in your hallway. You would suspect that wasn’t necessarily the look he was going for, but one never knows.
VMAs Fug Carpet: Ashley Greene
I’m not sure anyone in recent memory has enjoyed her rise to fame more than Ashley Greene. She hitched her wagon to exactly the right star: No one had ever heard of her before last November, and now she turns up EVERYWHERE. All over the world. She is the new Tara Reid, in the sense that she’d go to the opening of an eye if there was a swatch of red carpet within a two-mile radius. Good for her, I guess, but I wish she was doing more with it than this:
This is so half-hearted. I feel like, either go with a minidress, or go with a prom dress, but don’t wear a tiny skirt with a top that looks like you cut off the business end of the wedding dress and then dyed the bodice black. Isn’t her Twilight character supposed to be the clothes-conscious one?

VMA Fug or Fab Carpet: Solange
You know, believe it or not, I think the haircut is the least of Solange’s problems.
It has grown on me. I actually think she might pull it off if she knew what the hell to do with her makeup — her lips look like she just snacked on a bottle of Pepto Bismol.
And then there’s the dress. For New York mag, I wrote that she’s dressed as a present someone brought to a funeral, and I do still believe that. I mean, I’m pretty sure the thing on her right shoulder is something Target sells in a rainbow of colors. But the more I stare at her, the more I conclude: She’s kind of WORKING it, no? Yeah, there’s some reflection coming off her left boob, but this is Solange we’re talking about — she’s finally picked something unusual that DOESN’T look like she drew it after she was hanging something in the bathroom and slipped and hit her head on the toilet. I’ve got to give her props for that.

@grubreport @thebestjasmine I always felt like they ruined Dean specifically in service of Jess, which is lazy writing for your love tri -H
VMAs Fug Carpet: Katy Perry
I don’t know about you, but I am SUPER excited about Katy Perry’s new gig:
She and Russell Brand are entering the very competitive world of ice dancing. I hear their free dance adaptation of Russell’s autobiography My Booky Wook is incredibly moving.
