And then I remember that she's somehow gotten herself embroiled in *The X-Factor* in England, which I guess makes sense, because she is a person who MUST have an unquantifiable X-Factor that keeps her in the public eye. [![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/ffn_scherzinger_nicole_ffuk_101713_51235979.xml "Nicole Scherzinger")](https://static.gofugyourself.com/2014/03/FFN%5FScherzinger%5FNicole%5FFFUK%5F101713%5F51235979.jpg?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) At least she's wearing a big hat? Speaking of someone with an X-factor: [![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/ffn_madonna_sgp_082113_51186616.xml "Madonna")](https://static.gofugyourself.com/2014/03/FFN%5FMadonna%5FSGP%5F082113%5F51186616.jpg?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) I do feel like after thirty years, it's okay not to let your chest hang out anymore. Evolution isn't so bad, Madge. This outfit is desperately trying to evolve into a complete look: [![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/ffn_flynetuk_xfactorjudges_120113_51276166.xml "Nicole Scherzinger")](https://static.gofugyourself.com/2014/03/FFN%5FFlynetUK%5FXFactorJudges%5F120113%5F51276166.jpg?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) Unfortunately, it ran out of time.

Get Arthur Doolittle to the church on time!

If that fabric were a DRESS... but it's not, which is why we're here. [![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/ffn_rij_billboards_pressroom_052013_51103822.xml "Madonna")](https://static.gofugyourself.com/2014/03/FFN%5FRIJ%5FBILLBOARDS%5FPRESSROOM%5F052013%5F51103822.jpg?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) ... in a weird way I like this more than [the dumb Western wear she wore to perform with Miley Cyrus](https://www.gofugyourself.com/fug-the-special-miley-unplugged-on-mtv-01-2014/miley-cyrus-mtv-unplugged-fixed-show-5?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). This feels like confident Madonna; that felt like sad "REMEMBER ME? NOW I AM RIDING MILEY'S COATTAILS" Madonna. Oh, look, a transition: Speaking of tails...

[![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/ffn_km_grammyarr_012614_51315100.xml "Madonna")](https://static.gofugyourself.com/2014/03/FFN%5FKM%5FGrammyArr%5F012614%5F51315100.jpg?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) Ugh. The only grill a person needs is the kind that makes a mean steak. **Archive**: [Nicole](https://www.gofugyourself.com/celebs/nicole-scherzinger?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), [Madonna](https://www.gofugyourself.com/celebs/madonna?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) **(10) SARAH PAULSON vs. (15) JANUARY JONES** All the low seeds in this half pulled upsets, so we're looking at some repeat outfits here. Some of these cautionary tales NEED to be retold, though. Like this one: [![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2014/03/jones11.png "January Jones")](https://static.gofugyourself.com/2014/03/jones11-419x5781.png?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) The moral of THAT story is NO. [![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/167285361.xml "January Jones")](https://static.gofugyourself.com/2014/03/167285361-419x6281.jpg?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) Not much better. She really liked [the white shirt/black bra look this year](https://www.gettyimages.com/detail/news-photo/january-jones-attends-the-isabel-marant-for-h-m-photocall-news-photo/185732639?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), for strange reasons. [![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/186273188.xml "186273188-419x620")](https://static.gofugyourself.com/2014/03/186273188.jpg?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) That outfit is heinous, as are the shoes. Save the dress for a beach day, and the shoes for the tenth of Never. Aspects of the following are pretty: [![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/181598657.xml "January Jones")](https://static.gofugyourself.com/2014/03/181598657-419x612.jpg?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) But doesn't it feel like she didn't really try that hard, and wasn't particularly into it? She's worn worse stuff in the past with a weird glee that almost sold it, so I don't get what's happening here -- no jewelry to speak of is REALLY making me think she didn't like this dress and couldn't be bothered to help it. This needs help... into a giveaway pile: [![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/469259621.xml "Sarah Paulson")](https://static.gofugyourself.com/2014/03/469259621-419x6291.jpg?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) Oh, SARAH. Don't let your macabre TV show take your SOUL.

[![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/167156277_10.xml "Sarah Paulson")](https://static.gofugyourself.com/2014/03/167156277%5F10-419x6341.jpg?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) This is too twee and blah and feh and meh.

It's a petticoat. We said it then; we stand by it now. And [this limp thing](https://www.gofugyourself.com/fugs-and-fabs-the-premiere-of-american-horror-story-coven-10-2013/premiere-of-fxs-american-horror-story-coven-arrivals-10?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) just wants to go back to the dance, because "Every Rose Has Its Thorn" is on and some MAJOR swaying with a cute boy is in order.
