The VMAs are Sunday ([we took a look back at its red carpet from 2006 earlier today](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/fug-flashback-2006-vmas-08-2016/)), so make sure you swing by on Monday for complete coverage. Until then: \-- This is so flipping good. [*Elle*](https://www.elle.com/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) had a variety of Emmy nominees perform the "Clear Eyes, Full Hearts, Can't Lose" monologue from *Friday Night Lights.* Sterling K Brown as Coach Taylor is essentially the only thing I need in my life, ever, it turn out: (At one point, I swear Tracee Ellis Ross is doing Marta Karolyi, also. Plus, I mean, Keegan-Michael Key. And Rachel Bloom! It's just really good.) \--[ H and I wrote a retrospective of Britney Spear's most iconic red carpet looks for Cosmo, and it was really fun](https://www.cosmopolitan.com/entertainment/celebs/g6085/britney-spears-through-the-years-fug-girls/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). Also, in case you forgot: BODY BE BANGIN'. Wow, Britney. \-- Also: You've got another week or so to take advantage of[ the Buy Two Get One Free sale that B&N is having on their favorite paperbacks, one of which is *The Royal We!*](https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-royal-we-heather-cocks/1120876934?ean=9781455557110&ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) \-- This is amazing, at Bright Side: [Auto mechanics pay homage to the legendary artworks of Renaissance painters](https://brightside.me/creativity-photography/auto-mechanics-pay-homage-to-the-legendary-artworks-of-renaissance-painters-114455/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) \-- Also fascinating: [Forensic analysis of pigtails to help identify original 'mutineers of H.M.S. Bounty'](https://phys.org/news/2016-08-forensic-analysis-pigtails-mutineers-hms.html?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) \[Phys.org\] \-- The Cut wonders, in light of Nate Parker's college rape accusations, [Is It Okay to See *Birth of a Nation*?](https://nymag.com/thecut/2016/08/is-it-okay-to-see-nate-parkers-birth-of-a-nation.html?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) \-- At Mashable, [these are fascinating late-1800s photochroms of Istanbul](https://mashable.com/2016/08/20/istanbul-photochrom/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io#jh88NsmTy8qq). \-- At Lainey: Aw! [I also totally forgot these two were married, and I love them together](https://www.laineygossip.com/Adam-Brody-and-Leighton-Meester-together-at-premiere-of-StartUp/44742?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). \-- Also at Lainey, [is it so WRONG if I want these two to get back together?](https://www.laineygossip.com/Emma-Stone-and-Andrew-Garfield-photographed-together-in-London-but-are-reportedly-not-back-together/44722?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) IS IT? \-- Relevant to our interests, at Revelist: [11 times Helen Mirren proved she's a feminist goddess](https://www.revelist.com/celebrity/helen-mirren-feminism/4394?utm%5Fmedium=cpm&utm%5Fsource=gofugyourself&utm%5Fcontent=gofugyourself) \-- This is[ a really interesting look at the history of *A Star Is Born*, at Vulture.](https://www.vulture.com/2016/08/lady-gaga-might-be-perfect-for-a-star-is-born.html??ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) \-- Really interesting, and highly complex, at Indie Wire: [Plagiarism Accusation Ignites Behind-the-Scenes Battle Over Costume Design](https://www.indiewire.com/2016/08/kristen-stewart-equals-movie-costume-design-credits-abby-osullivan-alana-morshead-1201718808/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) \-- At Pajiba, [we get our weekly Jason Momoa.](https://www.pajiba.com/game%5Fof%5Fthrones/khal-drogo-rides-again-as-the-stallion-who-pranks-the-world.php?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) THANK YOU. \-- At Fashionista, [Amy Schumer joins the ranks of a variety of celebs complaining about how much the Met Gala sucks](https://fashionista.com/2016/08/amy-schumer-met-gala?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). Gosh, it's a shame that you're legally obligated to attend it! You know, in fairness, I get that the Met may not be Amy's jam but that she felt she needed to go for her own PR. And that's a totally, totally legitimate choice that she made for her career -- and guess who got a *Vogue* cover this year? Exactly. I do *not*, however, think that it's particularly necessary to go on Stern (now that said cover is out, and she's gotten baller coverage from *Vogue* of her new memoir), and trash the whole thing (and backhandedly insult Alexander Wang in the process). Just...don't go again? Problem solved! \-- At Celebitchy, this is legit a question to which I *need* the answer: [Did Joshua Jackson & Ruth Wilson have a wine-soaked hookup this week?](https://www.celebitchy.com/501175/did%5Fjoshua%5Fjackson%5Fruth%5Fwilson%5Fhave%5Fa%5Fwine-soaked%5Fhookup%5Fthis%5Fweek/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) And, finally, if you missed a few days here at GFY this week, some highlights: \-- Here's a[ round-up of all our Olympics coverage!](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/icymi-the-2016-rio-olympics-08-2016/) \-- We had [a *great* chat about the items we like to buy whilst on vacay.](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/your-afternoon-chat-delightful-vacation-buys-08-2016/) \-- We [gave Blake Lively the retrospective treatment.](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/fugtrospective-blake-lively-08-2016/) \-- J Lo [baked a pie! She made it nice!](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/what-the-fug-ciara-in-michael-costello-with-special-guest-star-j-lo-08-2016/) \-- Chloe Sevigny[ wore THE CUTEST shoes.](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/well-played-chloe-sevigny-2-08-2016/) \-- This is [probably the final round of September issues covers.](https://www.gofugyourself.com/fug-or-fab-the-cover-various-international-issues-of-september-vogue-08-2016?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)
