Basically: Everyone in the world + absurd clothes = red carpet magic.



The Good: Sienna Miller's tunic, while somewhat reminiscent of the Kate Moss for Top Shop collection (which is v good), is cute and fun in that MTV Awards-apropos way.


The Good: Again, how fun is Monique Coleman's futuristic majorette?


The Good: Briana Evigan's neutral jersey may be one of the most sedate numbers on the red carpet, but it's also one of the prettiest.


The Good: LeAnn Rimes' wicked queen getup? Rock on.


The Good: Aw, is Anna Faris' adorable puffball a tribute to Lacroix?


The Good: Okay here's another one that you couldn't get away with on a network red carpet: digging Lil Mama's Lisa Frank palette!


The Good: Imagine if we weren't sick to death of horizontals and geometrics and stripery of any kind due to all the bandages? How fresh and darling would CariDee English's one-shoulder look?


The Good: Is Taraji P. Henson's the most ridiculous concoction on a ridiculous red carpet? Mais oui! Just when we thought we couldn't love her more!


The Good: Okay, Rumer Willis' stained-glass thingamabob is vaguely horrible, but admit it, it's also vaguely awesome! (Right?)


The Good: I realized over the weekend that the main problem with The City is that "You Belong to the City," the most stirring urban anthem of the 1980s, isn't the theme song.


The Good: How super-duper is Ashley Greene's hair? Girl-group fab, right?


The Bad: Paris Hilton's commitment to living the Barbie lifestyle is really unquestionable.


The Bad: Vanessa Hudgens is gorgeous, and maybe this draped sheet could work if her accessories hadn't been selected by a 5-year-old-hippie.


The Bad: Okay, props to L.C. for taking a chance. But her Degas-Lacroix leaves one scrambling desperately for something nice to say before moving on because you see a Jonas brother over by the bar.


The Bad: You know how they say horizontal lines break up the body in an unflattering fashion? Megan Fox disagrees.


The Bad: Jayde Nicole provides the obligatory showgirl-by-Cache element! (Last year's MTV MA's was my first GBU and I was so scared and humbled by the responsibility! Now it's like, whatevs, bring me a doll and a stalk of rhubarb with maple sugar on it.)


The Bad: Just a guess: Shar Jackson likes chains and buckles.


Leighton Meester continues her foray into the world of un-Waldorfian fashion with an assless exercise in immoderation. What say you?


Okay, KriStew and Twilight are emotionally charged, so let's just step back and find out what say you about this Bella-Swann-ready show of ambivilalence!


Guess Sandy's promoting Domineering-Boss-Who-Strongarms-Assistant-Into-Marrying-Me, and clearly selected an MTV-ready look. What Say You?


Besides those of you who hate minis unilaterally - well, you too, of course - what say you about Kristen Bell's teensy hourglass?


Bruno would do violence if he didn't rep The Ugly.

If I could go back and be in my 25-year-old body with my head, boy, would I be dangerous… I've read books like The Beauty Myth. I guess I see it very differently. I don't use beauty products or dye my hair to please anyone else; I don't do it to capture a man, I do it because it's something I enjoy. I think it's innate, something you're born with. Femininity is an amazing quality and with it comes wanting to dress beautifully – as a little girl, it's in your nature. I watched my daughters do it – you don't teach them."  Andie MacDowell. [Daily Mail]

  • "I'm not one of those people that can suddenly start running and hire a Pilates trainer, it's just not my thing. Walks helped clear my head. I was weighing myself once a week, just trying not to be obsessive about it. I just wanted to feel better; I wanted to feel healthy… It was never about that Hollywood pressure to lose weight, I laugh at that. It was always just an issue of health. Some people have been calling it a comeback, I actually call it a resurfacing."  Nia Vardalos, who slimmed down after blood sugar issues. [People]
  • Q:Do you have any advice for aspiring stars? A: "I do. No. 1, stay clean and sober. Say no to drugs and alcohol, especially if you're under 18. No. 2, make sure you have a credible agent [or adult] with you at all times when you go into photography studios. No. 3, when you start out shooting your portfolio, don't let photographers rip you off or steal your money. You only need 10 good pictures. No. 4, make sure your agent is credible."  Janice Dickinson, who has a soon-to-be-released pop song called "Crazy." [Star Tribune]

  • "They think this is a game show. It isn't. It's arduous. It's fighting hunger. Since I haven't eaten in 32 years, it won't affect me. After I have sex with Sanjaya, he'll come out of the closet and run out of the jungle."  Janice Dickinson, on I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here. [Page Six]

<![CDATA[Slumdog Millionaire, Twilight Lead MTV Movie Award Noms]]> The category "Best WTF Moment" has been added to the MTV Movie Awards this year, but with films like Slumdog Millionaire and Milk competing with High School Musical 3 and Twilight, every category screams, "WTF?"

This is the 18th annual MTV Movie Awards, but the first year that fans have voted on the final nominees. That may explain some of the odd match ups, which are, "pitting Hollywood vampires against the Mumbai slums," as the MTV press release put it. Of course, the MTV Movie Awards have never been presented as a serious awards show, but it's still strange to think that Anne Hathaway is nominated for her performance in Bride Wars not Rachel Getting Married, and that Ashley Tisdale could beat Freida Pinto for the best Female Breakthrough Performance.

<![CDATA[The MTV Movie Awards: A Fashion Train Wreck At Five Miles An Hour]]>

Dear readers, please welcome our fashion guest-blogger this week, Sadie, who, like Lesley before her, will be serving as our fashion-lady-in-residence for the next few days! We think you'll like her whip-smart, quirky, inclusive style, even if you don't agree with her celebrity sartorial callouts.

I went into my first GBU really excited and positive, psyched to swoon over glorious gowns and utterly convinced I’d be unable to condemn anything as “ugly” or even “bad." Ha! As I scrolled through images of various MTV-staffers, the entire cast (?) of The Hills and a suspicious number of “TV personalities”, my face assumed the grim expression of a Civil War surgeon surveying the battlefield. It is a very sad day when Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton and, yes, Tila Tequila are contenders for “best-dressed” — but hell, desperate times call for grading on Harvard-level curves! Boundaries, as you will see, were fluid: hideosities that might normally qualify as “ugly” were elevated to the merely unfortunate by the presence of true horror. Conversely, figures who’ve dwelt all their public lives in “bad” found themselves exalted to Jezebel’s heights. After the jump, the atrocities that led to no fewer than three mixed metaphors in one paragraph.


The (Relatively) Good:

See, this is what I’m talking about. Normally, Kristen Stewart’s look would feel pretty uninspired. But in this assemblage, she looks like Audrey incarnate.

Yes, LiLo could just as easily be a “Bad.” In fact, she and Lauren Conrad had a thrilling 11th-hour race to the bottom, as both look like Bratz dolls with passions for electric-blue fashion. In the end, I deemed this inoffensive enough to fill the “Good” quota.

Liv Tyler: Hot-pink sack or one of the top-three looks of the evening? I’m going with the latter.

Rainn Wilson is dressed exactly like my senior prom date. He has a wife, though, so one assumes he’s not gay.

For the purposes of this event, channeling Dita Von Teese qualifies as a sartorial triumph for Rumer Willis. This 40s silhouette is sultry and flattering. And we’ll give her a pass on the Pete Wentz nails.

In the shocker of the (admittedly, young) century, Tila Tequila looks pretty and elegant in peach silk charmeuse.

The Bad:
I know, right? You’re wondering what can possibly be in “The Ugly!”
Charlize Theron, a haiku:

Training corset
leggings
gladiator sandals.
I want my
MT (V)

And I was so ready to let Andre Leon Talley take the fall for the Oscars!

Lauren Conrad’s unflattering blue number could be worse, but now that she’s a professional celebrity “designer,” she’s held to a higher standard entirely.

Nikki Blonsky is spared inclusion in “The Ugly” only by virtue of her youth. And her roguish smile.

Paris Hilton’s transition to Barbie is complete — and, like, one of those collectible original Barbies in the striped bathing suit, which almost takes this into “Good.” Almost.

Sarah Jessica Parker fails to redeem the evening in what appears to be a figure-skating costume, high-buttoned shoes.

I didn’t think “Television presenter Terri Seymour’s” outfit was that bad…until I realized it was a poppy-colored jumpsuit with harem pants.



The Ugly:

"Television Personality" Lucy Walsh’s grotesque tulle pom-pom is actually one of the few inventive looks of the evening.

You think Transformers actress Megan Fox’s “Frederick’s of Hollywood” number can’t look much crummier…and then you see the shoes!

<![CDATA[Celebrities Whose Names We Do Not Know (Blondes Of The MTV Movie Awards Edition)]]> Sometimes we come across celebrities whose names we do not know. Sometimes their looks are so remarkably generic we think we know them from this one time they were vomiting in the bathroom at the Jersey Shore and we were momentarily struck by how competent they were at the act of puking, like they'd just really perfected the whole not getting it all over the floor thing... and then we realize that they were probably slightly less attractive than the "celebrities" in question but we were drunk. Anyway, after the jump (and a picture gallery) Jennifer enlightens Moe as to the identities of the mystery celebs of last night's MTV Movie Awards.

Dear Moe,
I have no fucking idea who any of these girls are. All I know is that they are, in fact, all blonde. Either I am old  and I guess I must be, since all I can think about since seeing Knocked Up is HAVING BABIES [Jennie! Please no! Think of your CAREER. Hahahahaha. Seriously though. You are still too five years young not to have an abortion. I mean, you know what we mean. -Moe.] or these girls actually aren't famous. I think three of them are named Vanessa. Actually, irregardless, they all should be named Vanessa.
xo, J]]>

Editor-in-Chief of In Touch, Richard Spencer sent a team of ninjas off to the MTV Movie Awards on June 4. Pausing only to peruse the plastically pumped automaton formerly known as "The Ugly Simpson Sister", the daring band of hired killers stepped silently over the corpse of Nick Lachey's career and darted backstage where they wrestled Paris Hilton for an official gift bag. She already had five, so they felt they were quite justified in slitting her throat and stuffing the body under a table where they discovered Nicole Ritchie with her fingers down her throat, a stream of vomit on her chin and a surprised smile of triumph on her face.

And all so that In Touch can bring you, dear reader, the chance to win that bloodstained booty for yourself.

"The [bag], worth nearly $5,000, includes a gift certificate for Vans sneakers, a Netfilx subscription and DVD player, XM2go satellite radio and MP3 player, Fendi-Marchon suglasses, a Givenchy watch, a Bozart necklace, a free reading with celebrity psychic Cheri Mancuso, and much more."

Phew! It also, from what I can see, contains a grubby grey bullet-proof bra, for some reason. Was Britney invited? Hey, for $5k, who's quibbling. If you know which actress zany rubber-faced manic etc etc star Jim Carey was married to (clue, it was Lauren Holly, poor dear), text WIN.CMT and the answer to 73268. And then you can sell Britney's grubby emergency bra on ebay.

Or just mail it back to Britney. Breast feeding takes its toll on a girl's funbags and she needs all the support she can get right now.
