Personally, I'm excited that Simon Cowell pushed so hard to make Cheryl Cole a judge on *The X-Factor*. Yes, it smacks of trying super hard to make her happen, but she also dresses like a lunatic a lot of the time and so bringing her stateside is like giving us a gift of fug that, we hope, will never *stop* giving.

The weird thing is, there's something sort of cute about this outfit. The sum of its parts is totally 1970s Snooki -- I appreciate big hair, but that is so stereotypically Jersey that it actually just joined a Springsteen cover band -- but each individual thing is maybe not the worst. The shirt? Cute. The belt? Cute, with a different outfit -- or maybe just the shirt, especially if the shirt were actually a dress. The pants: great color, surprisingly flattering for high-waisted trousers, yet in desperate need of a tailor so that they're not acting as sleep masks for her toes. They might even also work with the shirt, with a different colored belt. Have at her in the comments, Fug Nation -- give Cheryl Cole an nice, sturdy, welcome-to-the-USA unfugging. And also, come see what Paula's doing.
