I was shocked to Lindsay Lohan looking so good on the red carpet - especially in this skimpy grape-a-licious number. It has the potential to be a little skanky, but Lohan pulls it off. In general, I am just surprised to see her look stylish and put together. She definitely gets the “You don’t seem like trashy gossip bait anymore” award.

That’s BLASPHEMY!

Well, it’s about 65 percent true. But fashion pundit, Mr. Blackwell put Victoria “Posh Spice” Beckham on the top of his 48th annual worst-dressed list.

Forget the fashion spice, wearing a skirt would suffice! In one skinny-mini monstrosity after another, pouty posh can really wreck-em.

Ouch.

Here are his quips on some of this year’s fashion disasters:

No. 2: Amy Winehouse—”Exploding beehives above, tacky polka-dots below, she’s part ’50s carhop horror.”

No. 3: Mary-Kate Olsen—”She resembles a tattered toothpick—trapped in a hurricane.”

No. 4: Fergie—”Yes, when it comes to couture chaos, guess it’s all in a name!”

Bravo Mr. Blackwell. You hit the nail right on the head. Although I don’t think Olsen is a toothpick, she’s more of a used strand of dental floss. And thanks for putting Fergie on there.

Other A-listers on this list of dishonor included Kelly Clarkson, Eva Green, Avril Lavigne, Jessica Simpson, Lindsay Lohan and Alison Arngrim.

Still, with my undying infatuation with Victoria, I will have to say that there are more hellacious dressers out there. There’s always Britney, but that is way too easy. Here’s what he said about her absence from the list:

I felt that it was inappropriate at this time to make comment, when her personal life is in such upheaval. I hope 2008 is a better year for her.

Good form Mr. Blackwell.

But back to Posh - I have an allegiance to Victoria. She takes fashion risks, but homegirl does needs to eat a Big Mac or something.

His Fabulous Fashion Independents list included: Reese Witherspoon (couldn’t agree more), Jemima Khan (okay), Beyonce (I agree to a certain point), Angelina Jolie (definitely), Helen Mirren (classic beauty), Nicole Kidman (yes, indeed - except for the picture below), Katie Holmes (I have something to say about her - please read below), Kate Middleton (I could live with that), Katherine Heigl (breakout beauty) and Cate Blanchett (she can do no wrong).

As for Miss Holmes-Cruise being on his “best” list, she is apparently BFF with Posh so there is this interesting paradox of Holmes being on the best list and Posh being the worst. They have even garnered so many comparisons with their styles. Case and point: click here.

But after thinking about it a bit, Katie does carry herself in a more refined matter. Sorry Posh.

All that aside, Mr. Blackwell’s list is considerable, but I think it’s more of a “who’s more annoying” list than a worst-dressed list. Because as much as I love Posh, I can get on “mayjah” Beckham overload at times.

Like clockwork, I present to you the going-ons of fashion, pop culture and all that other juicy stuff that makes us all have a sense of humor:

It was a great week for DUI’s, glamorous falls and fierce-looking boots!

Ummm…I don’t know what else to say.

I had no idea who Beth Ditto (she’s the gal in the above picture with her band “The Gossip”) was until I ran across this interesting article on AZCentral.com:

Beth Ditto says gay men ruin fashion industry
BANG Showbiz

The Gossip singer Beth Ditto says gay men in the fashion industry are to blame for the worrying size zero trend.

Plus-sized Beth, who has posed naked for this month’s cover of NME magazine, slammed homosexual designers for putting unrealistic pressure on women to be skinny.

Beth told the music publication, “If there’s anyone to blame for size zero, it’s not women. Blame gay men who work in the fashion industry and want these women as dolls.

“Men don’t know what it feels like to be a woman and be expected to look a particular way. The Beckhams are part of the machine, Paris Hilton is part of the machine.

“There’s that thing Paris Hilton said about Lindsay Lohan, ‘You’re poor, ugly and fat.’ It’s always women who are victims.”

The openly lesbian singer - who is 5-feet tall and weighs around 15 stones (210 pounds) - insists her supermodel pal Kate Moss understands what it’s like for women to be persecuted for being large, and is not to blame for the alarming skinny trend.

She said, “I spent one night talking to Kate Moss and she said the most amazing things about bodies. I didn’t think I was going to like her, but she said, ‘Do you know what I hate, Beth? When people tell my big girlfriends, ‘You have a beautiful face.’ That’s a really radical concept.”

The ‘Standing in the Way of Control’ singer was named the coolest person in rock by NME last year, and has posed in her underwear for Vogue magazine.

I am sure Ditto is a nice lady, but to blame gay designers for anorexic-looking models? That’s kind of a stretch. It’s just like that time those fools tried to sue McDonald’s for making them fat.

Just as I thought the whole skinny model ordeal was over, this news pops up. I mean c’mon on now - how much more do we have to hear about this malarkey? When it comes down to it, it’s all about a disoriented view on how these girls view their bodies (Ditto has no problem with that - she posed in the buff for NME Magazine click here if you want to see it). No one holds a gun to their head and tells them to not eat. Sure, the pressures are out there, but it’s up to the models to react on that.

Not everyone has the self-confidence that you have Ditto, so just give them a break a let them figure out things on their own - and I don’t think there is a need to blame anyone. Let’s just focus on the more important issues in life like global warming, healthcare and why the CW decided to have a second season of “The Search for the Next Pussycat Doll.”

As for the comment about Lindsay, Paris and all those other over-publicized people - I am just so over that. People can say that Paris has grown male genitals and Lindsay is pregnant with octuplets and I still wouldn’t care.
