A word on oft-fugged actresses

If you're not a regular reader of Go Fug Yourself, this post will not entertain you in the least. You will not know who I'm talking about, or why. Also, if you're not a regular reader of Go Fug Yourself, you need to get your head examined, but far be it for me to judge.

Anyway, my two favorite oft-fugged "celebrities" happen to be Bai Ling and Courtney Peldon. Not only are they hideously dressed, always, but they seem to be crazy in a way you don't see very often.

When I found out that Bai Ling was going to be on a show called, "But Can They Sing?" I was beside myself with excitement. And she did not disappoint. Half-naked, taking her clothes off whenever possible, alternating between deep, guttural off-key notes and high-pitched wails, crazy wigs -- it was pretty much the best thing ever. So great, in fact, that I voted for her about 10 times after every episode. I couldn't bear te thought of another week going by without a Bai Ling performance. Sadly, she was voted off last week in favor of Morgan Fairchild who, while I like her very much (though not her singing), she doesn't entertain the way Bai does.

On to The Peldon, then. When I saw this photo, I naturally assumed they just happened to be photographed at an event together somewhere. I mean, they couldn't possibly be a couple, could they? Then yesterday, I flipped through a Star magazine at the gym and lo and behold, Courtney Peldon and Crispin Glover have just celebrated their one-year anniversary as a couple. Um, what? Bai, incidentally, is dating Nick Carter. Um, what?

It's sad that these two are never going to be super-famous. Not because they're exceptionally talented, because I can safely say I've never seen either of them in anything. But for the sheer volume of crazy they emit, I hope they stay in the spotlight. Bai? Courtney? I love you.
