<![CDATA[Dance Your Ass Off: Empowering? Embarrassing?]]> Last night saw the premiere of weight-loss dance contest Dance Your Ass Off, hosted by Hairspray's Marissa Jaret Winokur. The contestants were varied: men, women, black, white, Latino, mothers, fathers, a virgin and a woman who "can't get boyfriends."

At the start of the show, contestants entered a house where filming took place and found two cabinets: One called "EAT" — filled with nuts, fruits and vegetables — and one called "CHEAT," filled with cookies and doughnuts. Most went right for the cookies, immediately.

While there will be a doctor, nutritionist and trainer on hand while the contestants are participating, the producers made sure to air plenty of footage of the contestants snacking, and even included home video of them eating.

But even weirder was the actual dancing. With strange cover versions of popular songs playing, the contestants were made to wear unflattering, skin exposing ensembles — not that they should wear muumuus! — but every dancer's outfit had cut-outs through the body; and one man's shirt was sheer. They were hideous. And a few of the routines were cringe-inducing in their cheesiness.

Though some of the contestants were energetic and enthusiastic (see: Trice, above), the overall experience of watching them have "forced fun" — being trussed up and made to dance in a spotlight in front of an audience and judges — left this viewer with a bad taste in her mouth. (And don't miss the part where a judge subtly tells this woman she'd make a good pole dancer.)

<![CDATA[The Zohan Premiere: Starring Everyone You Kinda-Sorta Know, Looking Kinda-Sorta Good]]> The best of the B-list came out last night for the L.A. premiere of Adam Sandler's latest comedy, Don't Mess With The Zohan, and many of the not-quite-there stars showed off not-quite-there clothes. Yes, some of young Hollywood's lady up-and-comers — Anna Faris! Emmanuelle Chriqui! — pulled off luscious looks, but there were also some fashion crimes — Charlotte Rae! Marissa Jaret Winokur! — that we simply cannot ignore. All of them, of course, after the jump.







The Good
Anna Faris, aka "That girl from Scary Movie" looks downright pretty.
I love Emmanuelle Chriqui's nightgown-inspired dress, because lord knows I love me a nightgown.
Oh look, it's "that chick from Superbad" looking super good. Her name is Emma Stone; take note friends.
Malina Akerman from Harold and Kumar To To White Castle rocks a dress I'd wear 420 times in a row.
Not that Adam Sandler is unattractive, but you know he's got to be psyched to be standing alongside his gorgeous, pregnant wife.
It's the super cool dude from Happy Days! Just kidding, it's David Spade channeling The Fonz, channeling my heart.


The Bad
Old School's Perrey Reeves looks sorta "mother-of-the-bride" here. Ha, just kidding. Michael Kors always says that on Project Runway and I don't even really know what it means. She actually just looks boring.
Jenna Dewan would look a lot better if she was wearing something else.


The Ugly

Rob Schneider is psyched: he gets to go out with a mermaid!
Oh Charlotte Rae: I don't even mind your fantasy cruise outfit, but those open-toed shoes? No. They look like Tevas from space. Are they Velcro?
Okay, Marissa Jaret Winokur: We get it. You were in Hairspray. You love hair, you love life, you are joyous and jubilant. Too happy in fact. It's annoying. Get dark already.

<![CDATA[The Business Of Being Born: Some Might've Looked Better In Their Birthday Suits]]> Last night was the red carpet premiere for Ricki Lake's much-discussed documentary on the home-birth movement, The Business of Being Born. And though the film offers an eye-opening journey through Ricki's choice to have a natural birth (hullo, vagina!), the premiere yielded nothing but some eye-shielding fashion. While Ricki looked chic and svelte in a black sheath (left), her guests looked a little...oy. The good, the bad, and the ugly, all after the jump.



The Good:

Cindy Crawford still looks good. Does this woman ever age? Her tailored suit looks straight out of the costume racks of The L Word, which is a major compliment in my book.

Sure, Amber Tamblyn looks like just about any 20-something woman in the world. Which is why I love this: Amongst her trashtastic peers, Tamblyn keeps it real. Also, check how her boots are a little scuffy! Aw, authenticity!

It is not easy to wear shiny materials. It is not easy to wear anything while pregnant. Mazel tov to Brooke Burke for making it work.

Words I never thought I'd say: Debbie Gibson looks good.


The Bad:

I hate saying mean things about Carrie-Ann Moss because, of well, The Matrix! But Lord: What is she wearing? And more importantly: Why?

Marissa Jaret Winokur: See above for "It is not easy to wear shiny materials." Also, best not to walk a red carpet in stripper boots.

Did Holly Robinson Peete even know she was going to an opening? Or was she out buying groceries and made a wrong turn by mistake?


The Ugly:

Josie Maran is wearing a jumpsuit. It appears to have sparkles. That is all.
