Fan-fugging-tastic

Yes, we realize we should be reading up on more pressing issues, but we refuse to apologize for our celebrity-gossip-blog addiction. Gofugyourself.com, one of our super-snarky favorites - and considering that it gets 3.5 million unique visitors a month, likely one of yours, too - recently spawned its own book: Go Fug Yourself Presents The Fug Awards (Simon Spotlight Entertainment, 2008; $19.95). Fed up with swimming-in-money celebrities who can't seem to dress themselves, the Fug Girls (a/k/a Heather Cocks and Jessica Morgan) dreamed up a fug-appropriate set of accolades. The ladies happily bestow honors like the Tanorexia Award (for fake-bakers) and the Sag Award (for excessive boobage), name-checking style-challenged stars such as Chloë Sevigny (Most Inexplicable Style Icon) and Jennifer Aniston (Most Likely to Require a Tough-Love Fashion Intervention). Other big names who couldn't escape their barbs include Paris and Nicky Hilton, Beyoncé, and Tara Reid. Pick up a copy at Barnes & Noble (Prudential Center, 800 Boylston Street, Boston, 617.247.6959) and let the superficial scrutinizing begin.
