It's that we wish they'd conveyed it with fewer forced, sexed-up cliches — cougars, tweeting, and "smoking hot Colombian chicks".

The video stars Eva Amurri (Californication) and Zach Gilford (Friday Night Lights), who gamely go through a parade of unfunny "solutions" to apathy about health care reform, each of which appears to be a desperate plea for relevancy, taken from someone's year-end list of what the young people are up to these days. Or maybe someone's idea of what the mythical frat boy wants.

At the end, an older idea — withholding sex to anyone who opposes health care reform — is thrown in for good measure. Updating Lysistrata to get the attention of millennials isn't original either. Back in 2004, Votergasm tried a similar trick to get young people to vote for John Kerry. Crappy video notwithstanding, let's hope the gimmick works better this time.

<![CDATA[Heroic Efforts At Hollywood Hero Award Gala]]> USA Today's 4th Annual Hollywood Hero Award Gala - and Debra Messing, Mandy Moore, Molly Sims and many more - honored Ashley Judd last night. So, were the fashions honor-worthy? Judge for yourselves...

One day when I have the energy (or am drunk), I really want to do an entire installment of GBU in the style of US Weekly's "Fashion Police." And so, when it came to Ashley Judd, I'd have some pun about either De-Lovely or Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood. As it is, let's just say, congrats.


Naya Riveria is one of those women who can actually wear American Apparel's fashiony items, which is very misleading to the rest of the world.


Digging on Molly Sims' LBD, don't have the energy to object to shoes anymore.


On the fence about Mandy Moore's getup. On the one hand, I get it. On the other, that doesn't mean it doesn't age her. But on the third hand (work with me), maybe that's okay.


If it's November, dammit, you can wear tights. Debra Messing thinks so, too.


Ambassador Swanee Hunt is also an Ambassador of whatever land Snakes and Ladders comes form. Or, "shoots and ladders" as the sanitized version is known.


Are people getting sick of the slightly retro mini yet? Not TV host Catt Sadler.


In case there was any confusion, Tami Farrell removes it.


"Class act" is, of course, in the genes for Eva Amurri. (We're ignoring The Banger Sisters.)


PSI's Kate Roberts has a lot going on. A multi-tasker, even.


Ellen Burstyn works flowing robes like no one else.

I can't wait to read his book, because I don't have a memory of a lot of the shows. Maybe it was because I was doing lines off of the audience members' asses.

  • Unfortunately for Heidi Montag, clothing lines whose main qualification as same is the attachment of a famous name are not faring well in the downturn.

  • Unfortunately, the news came too late to stop Hilary Duff for DKNY Jeans... [WWD]
  • ...and to stop Jessica Alba from dipping her toe into the designer waters. [Fashionista]

  • But getting a celebrity to wear your dress on a red carpet is still worth a starlet's weight in gold. [WSJ]

  • The economic situation is making it tougher perhaps than ever for young designers who were in the midst of expanding in line with pre-recession demand and fanfare. [NY Times]
  • Esprit has reported its first interim drop in profits in ten years. Sales are slow worldwide, and particularly so in Europe. [Financial Times]

  • A handful more details about the Mathew Williamson line for Target: it launches on April 23, it will be colorful (which, frankly, if anything at all comes to mind when you think "Mathew Williamson" you already knew), and in addition to the regular frocks and tops, there'll be jumpsuits. Controversial move! [Blackbook]
  • Kim Gordon discusses her line for Urban Outfitters, Mirror/Dash, with the New York Times, but although they hit stores on February 16, there's only one picture of the actual clothes.

[The Moment]
  • Never to be outdone by Vogue and its eyebrow-raising Sean Avery internship, Elle now has for an intern the fashlete (did I just make that up? I think I did. Let's go with it!) Stew Bradley, an actual Philadelphia Eagle. May he cherish the coffee-schlepping, xeroxing, and sexual harassment that are the hallmarks of any true New York media internship. [The Cut]

  • High-end Baltimore fabric store Michael's Fabrics says it has the lemongrass embroidered wool Isabel Toledo used to create Michelle Obama's inauguration day outfit. It's 33" wide and yours for a mere $500 a yard. Just in case you want to whip a dress up at home. [Unbeige]
  • Isabel Toledo is still reeling from the media attention following dressing Michelle Obama. (Her husband, the fashion illustrator Ruben Toledo, calls it "Obamathon.") An exhibition of her dresses is going up at the museum at FIT in June. [WWD]
  • Monique Lhuillier is introducing a new, more moderately priced line for fall. Given her regular dresses retail for $3,000-$7,000, "moderately priced" in this sentence means around $2,500. [WSJ]

<![CDATA[Cold-Weather Glamour Reigned At National Board Of Review Gala]]> Last night's 2008 National Board of Review awards gala at NYC's Cipriani fell on a chilly night, making Amy Adams' and Heather Graham's triumphs more impressive, and Salma and Anne's disasters slightly more understandable.

















The Good:
Amy Adams can put a dress over like no one else!


I like Eva Amurri's nod to the cold with black tights.


Viola Davis looks classically, sexily elegant.


Again, Melissa Leo gets serious points for an actually weather-appropriate gown. And how often in this life does one get to sing, "She wore blue velvet..." in an off-key Isabella Rossellini voice?


Heather Graham works total bombshell.


The Bad:
I'm not saying it's easy to pull off a "Where the Wild Things Are" costume, but unlike Amy Adams, Anne Hathaway has a bad habit of being worn by her clothes.


I hate, hate, hate the way this bodice cuts across Salma's chest!


Alina Cho's basic black looks just fine...and then you hit the bows.


The Ugly:
MaybE Veronica Webb is celebrating her freedom from being a fashion guru on Tim Gunn's Guide To Style...by looking awful?

<![CDATA[Loose Lips]]> A super pregs Gillian Anderson bit it last night at the London premiere of How to Lose Friends and Alienate People. Don't worry, she's ok! And she promises that she isn't going to name her baby anything stupid. "I have chosen [a name] but I don't think it's crazy," she told reporters. • According to the Daily Fail, Jennifer Aniston is trying to reconcile with John Mayer and has been contacting him, as well as hitting the bottle in the middle of the day to deal with her upset. Allegedly Aniston has a "penchant for afternoon cocktails." Who doesn't! • Is it wrong that we sort of love Susan Sarandon for saying "It's so much fun to be able to beat up your daughter on film"? Apparently she has some fisticuffs with real life daughter Eva Amurri in the forthcoming Middle of Nowhere. It's more fun "to play Hook and not Peter Pan," Sarandon added. [People, Daily Mail, Daily Express]

<![CDATA[At Costume Institute Gala, Bad Tries To Triumph Over Good; Fails]]> In case you need a refresher: Last night. Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute. Superhero theme. Every celebrity and fashion designer in the world. Some people looked Good, some people looked Ugly. But in between there were the Bad, which included Sarah Silverman, left, Beyonce, Blake Lively, Eva Amurri, Eva Longoria, Jennifer Connolly, Kristin Davis, Jennifer Lopez, Tamara Mellon, Mary J. Blige, and Kate Bosworth. All those and others, after the jump.









The Bad:
bad5508blakelively.jpgThe feathers! The gloves! Serena would not approve, Blake Lively.
bad5508beyonce.jpgYes, the dress is nice enough. But I just can't take seeing Beyonce in one more "Beyonce" dress. Does the girl know no other silhouettes?!
bad5508evaamurri.jpgWhy must you hurt your boobies and toes, Eva Amurri???
bad5508evalongoria.jpgToo much and not in a good way, Longoria.
bad5508evamendes.jpgApologies to Eva Mendes but I just hate that color.
bad5508gisele.jpgI think Gisele looks a little more trashy than classy.
bad5508ivankatrump.jpgCould Ivanka Trump wear anything more boring? Make an effort, lady.
bad5508jenniferconnoly.jpgI want to love Jennifer Connolly's dress. But I can't.
bad5508jlo.jpgAck! Leaping diagonal tiers, Jennifer Lopez!
bad5508kristindavis.jpgKristin Davis is all washed out.
bad5508livtyler.jpgLiv Tyler is wearing a lurex garbage bag toga.
bad5508maryjblige.jpgWhy does Mary J. Blige look sorta rumpled?
bad5508sarahmichellegellar.jpgI love classic black dresses, but Sarah Michelle Gellar is wearing the wrong look for this occasion.
Sarah Silverman looks like a cracked-out Amy Winehouse. Oh. Wait. Nevermind.
bad5508thandienewton.jpgThandie Newton would look great if only she ditched the duster.
bad5508dylanlauren.jpgDylan Lauren is rocking the Del Boca Vista aesthetic.
bad5508juliaroberts.jpgSomething about this dress makes Julia Roberts look matronly.
bad5508alicebraga.jpgI don't know who Alice Braga is, but her dress is a little mother-of-the-bride.
bad5508laraspencer.jpgToo much pink, Lara Spencer.
bad5508piperperabo.jpgPiper Perabo? Or a lost little alien?
bad5508tamaramellon.jpgTamara Mellon looks a little Vegas, if ya know what I mean.
bad5508donnakaran.jpgI don't want to see Donna Karan's side-boob ever again.
bad5508helenachristensen.jpgIs Helena Christensen wearing some suburban teen's prom dress?
bad5508katebosworth.jpgGood effort, Kate Bosworth, but... no.

<![CDATA[Speed Racer: Another Premiere, Another Hot Shot Of Eva Amurri]]> For the love of God: How many Speed Racer premieres is Warner Bros. scheduling?! The latest took place on Friday night as part of the Tribeca Film Festival. By now you know the routine: Christina Ricci, Emile Hirsch, Susan Sarandon, Miles Robbins, Eva Amurri, and that cute little kid who is also in the movie. But since this was the Tribeca Film Festival, there were also some kick-ass randoms present: Robert DeNiro and his wife Grace Hightower, Law & Order: Criminal Intent's Vincent D'Onofrio and his wife and son; Fred Durst (again!) and his girlfriend and, best of all, Stephen Colbert and his entire family. All of them, plus the Good, Bad and Ugly of what they wore, after the jump.







The Good:
80504c2_amurri_e_b_gr_03.jpgEva Amurri shows why the little black dress is what it is. Wow.


80504c2_hirsch_e_b_gr_04.jpgEmile Hirsch is definitely underdressed compared to his co-stars. But I'm a sucker for a stripey anything.


80504c2_litt_p_b_gr_01.jpgLlittle Paulie Litt is sorta my hero.


80504c2_sarandon_s_b_gr_02.jpgSusan Sarandon's leather coat is really ugly. But son Miles Robbins is so damn cute and clearly loves his mom so damn much that I forgive and forget all.


speedracernyccolbert.jpgCould Stephen Colbert and his family be any cuter?! See, they all look smart in jeans. Emile Hirsch, take note.


speedracernyconorfio.jpgSame goes for Vincent D'Onofrio and his wife and kid.


I think this is my favorite of Christina Ricci's premiere dresses to date. Smart and fun.


The Bad:
speedracernycdenirohightowe.jpgGrace Hightower, per usual, is always a class act. But Robert DeNiro looks like a total schlump. Would it kill him to wear pants that fit?


The Ugly:
speedracernycfreddurst.jpgI'm sorry: Why was Fred Durst there?

<![CDATA[Gwyneth Looks Bored, Models Look Hot At Iron Man Premiere]]> The latest installment of Gwyneth Paltrow's comeback tour (courtesy of her new film Iron Man) took place last night at a special screening in New York starring an eclectic bunch of bold-faced names with eclectic clothing. There were models (Hana Soukupova, Maggie Rizer, Helena Christensen, Joy Bryant), children of celebrities (Eva Amurri and Jack Robbins, Elettra Rosselini Wiedman), the old guard (Bebe Neuwirth, Diana Ross) and a few randoms (Leelee Sobieski, Kelly Killoren Bensimon). All those and more in the full Good, Bad and the Ugly, after the jump.







The Good:
ironman428evaamurri.jpgI'm always a sucker for a picture of a big sister and a little brother, like this one of Eva Amurri and Jack Robbins. Love her skirt. Also: how much do they look like their parents?


ironman428famkejanssen.jpgBig yes to the drop-waist on Famke Janssen's dress.


ironman428hanasoukupova.jpgOk, Hana Soukupova, I get it already: You're a model. You are perfect.


ironman428helenachristensen.jpgI'll have what Helena Christensen is having. Even if it's safari wear.


ironman428joybryant.jpgJoy Bryant is a dream in her very modern and very sophisticated pants-and-jacket pairing. Love the silhouette. Love the colors. Want the necklace. Now.


ironman428leeleesobieski.jpgI know I should hate Leelee Sobieski's dress, but I can't help but love it.


ironman428maggierizer.jpgMaggie Rizer: Keeping it real, playing to her hair.


Gwyneth's dress: See-through or not?




The Bad:
ironman428traceyullman.jpgIs anyone else surprised to learn that Tracey Ullman is the Burberry trench-wearing type?


ironman428bebeneuwirth.jpgBebe Neuwirth: When headbands and bad fashion happen to good people.


ironman428carolalt.jpgCarol Alt: When too much satin and bad necklines happen to good people.


ironman428dianaross.jpgIs Diana Ross wearing galoshes? And leggings?


ironman428elettrawiedman.jpgAnd is Elettra Wiedman wearing them too??


ironman428livtyler.jpgLiv Tyler disappoints with a sad sack of a dress paired with flesh-tone shoes.


ironman428toriburch.jpgTory Burch: Furthering my belief that no one dresses worse than fashion designers.


ironman428terrencehoward.jpgTerrence Howard and his son are both dressed as Indiana Jones. Also, is his daughter carrying a clutch? Or a Trapper-Keeper?




The Ugly:
ironman428kellybensimon.jpgI do believe Kelly Bensimon is wearing wet boots with that most unfortunate dress.

<![CDATA[New Yorkers For Children Know How To Dress Like Adults]]> New Yorkers for Children is a really amazing organization, providing social service programming for kids in the New York City foster care system. Also, Vogue editor Anna Wintour is one of its lead supporters, which is why the who's who of fashion and Hollywood all turned up for the organization's annual gala last night. Emmy Rossum, Kim Raver, Georgina Chapman, Hana Soukupova, Virginia Madsen, Eva Amurri, Joy Bryant, Leighton Meester, Mary-Kate Olsen (left), Rachel Zoe and others were there, some, of course, looking better than others. (Okay who am I fooling: Olsen and Zoe terrify me.) The full Good, Bad, and Ugly of the New Yorkers for Children's fete, after the jump.

The Good: nyersforkidsemmyrossum.jpgThey call Emmy Rossum mellow yellow? Maybe this could be the new alternate color for bridal: I'm newly inspired. nyersforkidskimraver.jpgKim Raver also wears something that would be a prettier wedding dress than anything I've seen in this week's bridal shows. nyersforkidsgeorginachapman.jpgSometimes I wonder if Georgina Chapman is the only fashion designer who actually knows how to dress herself. nyersforkidshanasoukupova.jpgI'm all about the Morticia Addams look on Hana Soukupova. nyersforkidstinsleymortimer.jpgHell has frozen over: I like what Tinsley Mortimer is wearing. nyersforkidsvirginiamadsen.jpgYay for pretty Virginia Madsen and her pretty dress.

The Bad: nyersforkidsevaamurri.jpgEva Amurri, why must you hide what God gave you? nyersforkidsjennifermissoni.jpgJennifer Missoni shows how young women Miley Cyrus' age should dress. (Of course, Missoni's 23, not 15.) nyersforkidsjoybryant.jpgJoy Bryant channels Miss Scarlett and wears the drapes. nyersforkidskatieleejoel.jpgKate Lee Joel dresses like Miss Haversham would've before she entered her later years. nyersforkidsleightonmeester.jpgI like that she tried out something different, but something about Leighton Meester's look just isn't working. Also, does anyone else think Meester looks totally different in her real life (or, er, at least on the red carpet) than she does on Gossip Girl? nyersforkidsmargheritamisso.jpgMarghertia Missoni's whole look is 10% overdesigned.

The Ugly: Most of the time, I hang my head in shame for loving Mary-Kate Olsen's look. Today is not one of those days. nyersforkidsrachelzoe.jpgIt's Medusa! Oh sorry: It's just Rachel Zoe.

<![CDATA[Uma & Eva Look Great Even Though Their Movie Looks Awful]]> In the new film The Life Before Her Eyes, Uma Thurman, left, plays a woman who, as a child, witnessed a "Columbine-like" event which fucked her up for life. But want to know what's really fucked up? The fact Evan Rachel Wood plays Thurman's character's younger self. To quote Cher Horowitz: As if. Susan Sarandon's daughter, the painfully-beautiful Eva Amurri, also stars, and all of the aforementioned ladies were at the New York Film Society's screening of the movie last night. There were also a ton of models: Hana Soukupova, Helena Christensen, Irina Pantaeva, and Maggie Rizer, some, of course, better dressed than others. The full Good, Bad, and Ugly, plus the terrifying transformation of Evan Rachel Wood into Dita von Teese, after the jump.

The Good:
emaamurri041608.jpg
Eva Amurri knows how to showcase what her mama gave her.
susansarandon041608.jpgSpeaking of which, these are the moments when I can't believe that Amurri's mama Susan Sarandon played Janet in The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Also, how cute is her son Miles?
gabriellebrennan041608.jpgYay for Gabrielle Brennan, the appropriately-dressed child of the day.
helenachristensen041608.jpgDamn you, Helena Christensen.
irinapantaeva041608.jpgIrina Pantaeva should be rewarded for curbing her nascent Bai Ling-esque fashion instincts.
nicolemiller041608.jpgThis is the best I have ever seen Nicole Miller look. Sigh.
oliviapalmero041608.jpgI wish I could quit you, Olivia Palmero.


The Bad:
hanasoukupova041608.jpgWhat's with the shiny, tiny pantsuit Hana Soukupova?
maggierizer041608.jpgOh, Maggie Rizer: Just 'cause your stepdaddy stole all your money doesn't mean you can't make some effort in dressing yourself.


The Ugly:
evanrachelwood041608.jpgI love Dita von Teese. I am horrified to witness Evan Rachel Wood morphing into her.
