Because I was so tired last night, I curled up in bed and prepared to watch about ten minutes of Major Crimes (because yes, I’m still watching that show, shut up!!). Long story short, I ended up watching the whole two-hour finale and I completely missed the debut of E!’s new Fashion Police, with Kathy Griffin taking over from the late Joan Rivers. Early this morning, I skimmed this Daily Beast piece claiming that Kathy is phoning it in, that she’s not delivering the Rivers-esque snark. But then I read Kathy’s comments on Amal Clooney. I don’t know you guys… I think Kathy brought the mean-snark?
Weighing in on the Golden Globes fashion choices, Griffin picked on George Clooney’s new wife, Amal Alamuddin, to receive her most vicious roasting, slamming the attorney for wearing white gloves alongside her full-length black Dior evening gown.
“Yeah, she’s annoying,” Griffin said, as a picture of the human rights lawyer flashed on screen. “You heard me! Everybody run in fear! I thought it was weird she had those gloves that remind me of, like, a p-rn scene, where the guy goes home and there’s the naughty dishwasher and she only has the gloves,” Griffin joked.
Griffin’s co-host, Kelly Osbourne, agreed, adding that the gloves belonged “on a vet helping a calf be born.”
“Like, she used those bovine insemination gloves to rake through her hair instead of a brush,” Griffin continued, as footage of the new Mrs. Clooney fiddling with her hair appeared on screen. “I’m fascinated how we’re like, not supposed to make fun of her because she married the great George Clooney. Look, everybody’s on the table, George! Nobody’s safe, nobody gets a pass,” Griffin warned.
Earlier in the show, Griffin had paid tribute to her predecessor Rivers, whose name had become synonymous with the show. “Before I start making more enemies and burning new bridges, I want to thank my good friend,” she said of Rivers. “Joan, I know you are watching from heaven, but I am not afraid to bring the hammer down on anyone.”
WORD. I think Joan Rivers would be proud of those insults. Joan would have had a field day with Amal’s gloves and I’m glad “the gloves are off” even in Joan’s absence. And yes, the gloves were terrible. If it weren’t for the gloves, Amal wouldn’t have even been in the conversation about Globes fashion though – her Dior gown was such a snooze. It didn’t fit properly, it was a boring design, and Amal acted like she didn’t even care that she was there (which was probably true).

The show was missing the usual bite. The only funny part was Kelly’s impression of Lana Del Ray posing. (lol)
LOL Those gloves were a Teenage Prom Queen horror. I didn’t like those gloves right from start, called them Prom gloves and costumy.
Kathy is not Joan but she was biting and funny.
I think she’s right about Amal.
+1 totally agree with this comment
Kaiser – no one gave it to Amal like Howard Stern did after “The Wedding”:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DgyvRDlCf9Q
What? How was that giving it to her?
Well, Stern DID paint her as a highbrow.
You’re right Ziggy, it was. I expected Kathy to bring it, but she didn’t seem her usual self. Maybe she was holding back. I knew it wouldn’t be the same without Joan, but her and Kathy were friends. I hope she can bring some funny to the show, because otherwise, it’s unwatchable.
I imagine Joan was screaming from heaven when they all gave a pass to Lena Dunham’s dress. I couldn’t believe how nice they were. If anyone else had worn that dress, they would have torn them to shreds. Not sure why she gets a pass. Kathy really blew that opportunity.
@melanie Lena got a pass because she usually looks so god awful that this was good in comparison. That’s kind of sad, I really think she should work on that before she becomes a caricature.
“Like, she used those bovine insemination gloves to rake through her hair instead of a brush,” LOVE that!!! Me-Ow…Joan would be proud!
I read somewhere on a UK site that the gloves and dress were an homage to Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany’s.
Audrey Hepburn never in all her life wore an ill-fitting dress like that. Her fashion sense was flawless.
It’s not a far stretch to notice the similarities- but ‘homage’… Rather a consciously created look of old glamour Hollywood (or what Amal thought that is). The young Audrey Hepburn was Clooney’s crush (he said that himself), though.
And Audrey never wore ill-fitting gloves, either.
The dress doesn’t look ill-fitting to me. (Hard to see the detailing as it is black, but she is quite thin and you can see how small her waist is.)
I’m wondering if the gloves were meant to go above the elbow and she forgot to pull them up before doing the red carpet. They look like they are long.
Epic fail. Amug will NEVER be Audrey Hepburn.
Audrey’s gloves were black to match the dress and they fit perfectly – if Amal decided to emulate her look, she should have paid a little more attention.
I don’t think it looks bad. The gloves make the slightly boring dress a bit more interesting. Isn’t it a nice thing that a woman dons MORE clothes to look more interesting instead of the usual strategy of using less clothes?
Ranting about those gloves tells a lot about the ranting har-pies but hardly anything about a woman wearing white gloves with a black dress. Couldn’t they have come up with some more interesting comments with less snark? How about commenting on clothes with regards to colour and style and proportions and structures and materials.
A better comment would be:
Amal Clooney dressed all in black which didn’t set off her fabulous black mane – lack of contrast. Even the off-the-shoulder trail didn’t do much to make this an interesting dress. It was just black over black with black. And those giant sparkling drop diamond earrings couldn’t compete with the colour scheme. Maybe that is why Amal wore pure white gloves to provide some interesting detail. Unfortunately said white gloves proved to be a bit too clumsy for her slight frame. Or is it purposefully clumsy?
As for merely supporting her husband she certainly didn’t steal too much of the spotlight.
I Just about fell off my chair when I saw Kathy with those Big Gloves on.
Joan would be proud.
She is right those gloves were terrible.
I guess Kathy didn’t get George’s PR , Kiss-Ass Memo! LMAO!
When I saw those gloves all I could see was Teenage accessorizing from Clairns for the prom.
I’m also pretty sure Amal was wearing extensions. On tv you could really see difference in hair where pieces were added underneath. They were not blended very well.
She went to support her husband. I might get some heat for saying this but, She’s way to good to even be there. She actually does something important.
You shouldn’t get heat for that, you are very right. As much as it was part of a joke, Tina and Amy nailed that down during their monologue. Hell, Amal could have shown up with a briefcase to work through the whole thing, and I would have said “Well, it’s a little rude, but she probably had more important things to do.”
Yes, THIS! I’m sure she’s crying to Kofi Annan about how Kathy whats-her-name didn’t like her gloves at the show of vanity and delusional importance known as the awards season.
lol exactly
Oh please. She’s been on vacation longer than she’s actually worked since her whole stint with Clooney began. If she’s sooo much better and superior than everyone else there, she shouldn’t have married the biggest fame ho out there. She loves the camera more than half of the starlets in that room. Next.
Part of supporting him is putting on a nice face and pretending you wouldn’t rather stick a fork in your eye than be there. Supporting him means not ending up on every celebrity website next to an article detailing how bored you looked. If you’ve got a spouse who has a company Christmas party or if it’s the Golden Globes, it’s the same act. Don’t be a distraction and don’t drink too much; having an “important” job doesn’t relieve you of any of this. It comes with the spouse.
Yes! Exactly.
Why so mean to George’s new wife? All she did was show up and smile. Yeah, she did have a fashion mistake with the goves but how exactly does that make her annoying? Because like any bride she posed prettily at her wedding on “her” day? I guess it doesn’t take much with Griffin and she’s forgetting that we have to listen to her nonsensical prattle for an entire hour.
When did she smile? Every photo I’ve seen she was making either a bored or disgusted look on her face. Well, other than when she was giving the side-eye to someone off camera.
If George were an average corporate person, he would be getting heat for how awful his wife acted at the office party. Perhaps not directly, but he might miss a promotion or two.
She’s smiling in the first picture. Honestly, I thought she was fine. She’s actually done something with her life, so I give her a pass. I don’t get the hate for her at all.
I agree her work is important, and yes, this is probably beneath her. But part of having grace is not looking like you’d rather be somewhere else.
I hope she isn’t a snob- but she came across that way to me. And in her work, working for the rights of those who have little to none, appearing above anything – even the Golden Globes- is naff.
I agree with Robn
Amal looks gorgeous COME ONNNN
Are the gloves surprisingly gigantic? Yes!
Could she have found a better pair? I’m thinking yes! But perhaps she wanted to avoid shaking too many hands out on the red carpet. Didn’t she take them off during the show?
I m not germ crazy, but many people are. Is it possible she’s just trying to avoid this insane flu season catching up to her?
Is it possible she likes fashion but like many of my beautiful friends HAS NO FASHION SENSE?! Maybe she’s just tone def to fashion.
I guess what I’m saying is I give her a pass. Bc in “real” life if she were at a gathering I was at, she’d look like a million bucks. It’s just that when she’s surrounded by some serious pros (in the image made for tv event genre) she’s very obviously either 1) still a novice (and that’s ok) OR b) DNGAF!!! (And that’s ok too!)
Come on – Way to good to be there?!? She married GC, she had to most fame whorish wedding of the year. In London she definitely did walks so she would get photographed! How is she to good? She choose this life, she choose a man who likes beautiful women on his arm and was looking for an upgrade!
The greatest trick Amal ever pulled was convincing the public she’s not a famewhore. Please this woman is eating up the media attention. She’s too good to be there, she could be doing more importantly things. Like what? Following George across the globe on his vacations after that media freezy of a wedding. If she’s not into the spo light they could have had a private ceremony ala Jolie-Pitt style. She seems to spend more time cheesing for the camera than she does working.
She’s loving the attention as well as being around these celebs.
I do love her dress. I like simple. Plus like I said yesterday she wasn’t the one getting the award why should she dress flashy.
Hasn’t she been on holiday longer than she’s worked this year? I think so!
I am surprised that people actually believe Amal was bored or disinterested. She wanted to appear super uninmpressed with the entire production because she was probably freaking out. Have you seen the way people act around movie stars and celebrities? Even famous athletes, royal family members, heads of state, and respected journalists admit to being star struck when they meet Hollywood stars. Even people who aren’t impressed by celebrity or don’t follow pop culture admit to feeling extreme anxiety in the presence of a celeb. I live in Las Vegas and I have witnessed so many people lose their shit over a single star sighting. The few times I have spotted someone famous while eating out or shopping I felt weirdly intimidated. So if a single B-list celeb can have that effect on people, can you imagine the stress of being around dozens of A-listers at the same event while being expected to impress them? I know Amal has worked on high-profile legal cases but she is still a human being–while she managed to appear aloof and unimpressed on the outside, she was probabably an anxious wreck on the inside. I would bet money she had nervous shits for the entire week before the Globes! And she didn’t attend all those fittings to have a custom dress made for an “obligatory” event.
Amal appears to be quite intelligent and being a successful barrister is impressive, but the incessant gushing about her has become a little much. I am over the whole “Amal married beneath her” rhetoric. Bullshit. We know her name because of George Clooney. Not belittling her occupation but how many human rights lawyers are there in the world? Important work, indeed, but they aren’t a rare breed. Now, how many American Movie Stars are there? Not famous actors or exceptional actors. How many bona fide, legitimate, actual American Movie Stars are there? Not too many. Like him or not George Clooney is a true movie star who will always be A-list even if he never makes a decent movie again. He is going to be remembered forever. I am not suggesting this is how it should be and I am not implying that movie stars are superior beings. But Clooney has reached the pinnacle of a career in an industry where most people fail. Amal snagged herself a top member of Hollywood Royalty. So let’s stop pretending like he is beneath her.
Slay Belle: Nice name! And nice comment. Astute observations about celeb sightings. The few celebs I’ve run into/seen on the street in “real life” have given me that same intimidated feeling you describe and the GGs are the absolute pinnacle of celeb sightings. I’m sure I’d be utterly mute if I somehow found myself in anything even remotely as star-studded.
I agree that she was trying hard to play it cool. And I don’t think that doing important work makes her immune to enjoying the notoriety that comes with being Mrs. Clooney or for wearing Minnie Mouse gloves. Especially on a gossip site like this!
@ Slay Belle – Thank you for your perspective … and I totally agree with you. She does not appear to be your run of the mill human rights lawyer nor does she dress like one. She seems somewhat too glammed up when she “heads to the office” and it is kind of incongruent with someone who has more important things to focus her time and energy on. I do believe she was probably nervous about being around all the A listers at the GG and I also believe that is why George Clooney somehow finagled seats at their table for Randy Gerber and Cindy Crawford???!!! I think they were there for moral support … seriously, why else were they there? I have never noticed anyone else invite their close friends to sit at the table with them (maybe I just haven’t noticed). I think ultimately she and George are a great couple and the combination of her background and his non hollywood interests as well as his celebrity will contribute to the betterment of this world (I hope).
Slay Belle
I agree with you. There are many human rights lawyers in the world. The general public haven’t heard of this one until Clooney put her on the map.
I kind of agree with you. I think that she really enjoyed all of the attention at first, especially during the fast courtship phase and wedding but maybe now she is seeing what it is like day to day to be Mrs.Clooney and it is not all roses.
And while many smart commentators here have argued you don’t have to be smart to have a formal education, I have seen Amal interviewed on BBC before and she does appear to be quite smart. I think it would be absolutely tedious to be in a room with that many vapid people. Well, unless I could sit next to Meryl, Helen Mirren Tina, Amy, Emily Blunt or Gary Oldman…
I’m all for her supporting George as long as he is equally supportive of her career.
“Meryl, Helen, Tina….I wonder If they consider George interesting enough ..
I agree. This is all ego rubbing nonsense.
I am SO with you Aims. Tired of the heat she receives, and I think she and George support each other, which is as it should be.
I don’t know…from the pics she looks like she’s not that into him. Check out the body language. Why did they get married? Politics.
Yeah, I don’t really get why everyone is dumping on her. She’s not an actress or a model who goes to events like this as part of her job. Plus she’s an amazingly accomplished person. So who cares if she didn’t stun the fashion world? I’m sure she doesn’t.
I’m torn. On the one hand yes, she has more important things to do.
On the other hand, why marry a guy who spends his summers partying in Como and his winters partying in Cabo? I know we like to pretend Clooney is some high minded fellow with tons of depth, but he dated a cocktail waitress and a wrestler before Amal came along. And he dated those girls for two years a piece.
Is it just dawning on Amal now that she married a tool? And when you marry a tool at least act like you’re having fun at his little office party. Don’t sit there with a long face for three hours like you’re too good for this shit. She had the perfect opportunity to show us some humor when Tina and Amy made that lifetime achievement joke, even if it was just to shake her head in mock disbelief. Something other than that barely there expression she wore all night. It was even more boring than the dress.
Actually, I find her demeanour quite endearing. She’s not super into this celebrity thing, she’s a little awkward too and yes her dress&gloves were pretty bad. It’s kinda cute.
Also come on, girl has a job and everything. She’s all right.
This. I read a few boards yesterday where people were gushing at the Sweetness of G&A’s Very Special Love. All I saw was a woman who looked like she barely knew the guy she was standing next to and a movie star working his new image.
Also, I’m still watching Major Crimes, too. I have to catch the finale on demand b/c I got caught up with Vanderpump Rules.
Clearly, I am not as high-minded as Amal.
So much what Say What? and chick binewski are saying! Totally agree.
Sorry, ell. I don’t see her as awkward. I see her as condescending. Perhaps she reminds me too much of classmates and college professors that I’ve had in the past who made those same kind of looks on their faces.
For someone allegedly so smart, Amal wasn’t savvy enough to pretend to have a good time so that everyone watching would like her during her first official awards outing with George.
“I know we like to pretend Clooney is some high minded fellow with tons of depth, but he dated a cocktail waitress and a wrestler before Amal came along. And he dated those girls for two years a piece.”
Which is exactly why I’m so over Clooney and have been for a long time. Clooney’s ego is ridiculous, especially if you consider that he purposely sought out and dated women of “low stature” (for lack of a better way to put it) with zero intent on getting serious with them and would dump every single one of them once any talk of marriage hit the media until he found Amal, this intelligent, highly revered, highly accomplished woman. Suddenly Mr. Playboy “marriage is not for me” Clooney was so ready to settle down because in his own egotistical, delusional mind he believes he has found his match. I like to think Amal is a really smart woman who married her eye candy, that she knows he isn’t on par with her intellectually but she is attracted to him for other reasons and he is just a moron who she lets believe he is on the same level as she is. I remember how the media acted like this guy was wonderful for dating “average women” but all it ever was, was that he liked the power trip. Sorry, but men of power, which I guess George is, who use and abuse women that they see as beneath them are the WORST kind of men. George Clooney is gross.
Well said Michelle. Totally agree.
With you aims. Not sure what Amal was supposed to do, jump up and down to show enthusiasm? Then she’d be labeled a famewhore. Not show up because she had to work? Still no good, look, she does not really love him. She did what I (and lots of other wives, and I guess husbands too) have done: showed up for a spouse’s function, smiled, made some small talk with people we barely know, went home. Of course, her whole evening gets dissected: gloves bad, dress bad, hair bad, smile fake, love not glistening in her eyes… Blah. And as for those two walking disasters, Kathy and Kelly, they have a nerve to talk looks and fashion, when time and again they show their talentless selves looking like what the cat dragged in.
This^
Amal was wearing hair extensions too and they weren’t blended very well.
I agree with you. Amal is a woman who has done truly amazing things in her life, and she was surrounded by egotists who get paid to pretend to be other people for a living. She is bound to get a lot of heat for looking bored and not looking awestruck but I think more people need to understand that Amal really is of a different calibre than some dumb award show designed for celebrities to adore themselves and each other.
Amal is educated and beautiful. The reputation of her firm (not Amal) attracted the human rights clients she represents. A partner chose Amal as their front woman to be the firm’s public face when representing those clients. Amal deserves minuscule credit for any amazing results achieved for their clients.
And every day Amal is in her office, she is surrounded by vapid and egotistical people.
Imo amazing accomplishment should be reserved for someone who idk leads a nonviolent movement to improve civil rights for descendants of slaves or leads a rebellion to kick the Brits out of India.
Well said. I hope she doesn’t let the tedious and unfunny remarks by Griffin and whatshername, Ozzies kid bother her. The only thing funny about any of this is that two of L.A.s tackiest, worst dressed with worst hair and makeup, women trashing their betters. Don’t even get me started on Griffins voice. I wouldn’t watch anything on E if they paid me, but I can’t imagine how anyone could listen to that. Life is too short. Listen to something beautiful and uplifting, like some great music. I’m listening to Luis Villegas’ Cafe Ole now. Highly recommend. Food for the soul.
I don’t think Amal is any better than Kelly Osbourne or Kathy Griffin, to each their own. Just keep on doing what you do, which is choosing to NOT watch E!
Why is she way too good for even being there? What makes her better than anyone else? Because she is a human rights attorney? So what. She married a Hollywood actor. IF she didn’t like the industry (an extension of him) why even marry him?
She should support him in his field as he appears to support her. Being an attorney doesn’t make her above or better than anyone else.
It does however, make her a self-made, and self-defined woman. I would really like to know why she is putting up with Clooney. I’m sure he’s a nice guy – but all that? Maybe she hadn’t found a better choice at 35.
George is acting the “older and wiser” when it comes to PR, and so much will be spewed from his ready-made machine. I would like her to take his pants off, and own it – still, she seems too demure. Time, perhaps…(?)
Yawn….she’s so important. Yeah she married Clooney. LOL
So what, if the good press is accepted, so should the bad press.
Kathy’s entitled to her opinion.
I think KG is funny, but look at her giant cartoon shoes that photo! Those are some unoriginal insecure basic bitch accessories.
Amal is an human rights atty and Kathy is a fashion critic- who should know better?
The beautiful Amal didn’t spend years studying people magazine- she’s an accomplished person, not a trend slave. FFS Kathy and Howard Stern dress horribly for Hollywood celebs, they are FAR from chic elegant or interesting.
I just can’t watch without Joan.
It made me sad and it wasn’t as good. Kelly and Julianna seemed hyper perky, like they were trying really hard to pretend it wasn’t weird and sad to be doing it without Joan.
Joan will be on next week’s Celebrity Apprentice, which can only help it. The cast is exceptionally dull this time.
I know. I just happened to see Joan’s very last FP at the end of August; it was the post-Emmy and post-VMAs show. I didn’t always catch the show so I was glad I saw that one because she was so pithy and funny. She really went out at the top of her game.
I didn’t see Fashion Police last night and don’t even want to. Joan was crude BUT funny with class–Kathy is simply crude and classless.
It’s so ironic to me that Kathy Griffin is now in this role when she is one of the least fashionable women in Hollywood. She always looks like a mess. Joan was elegant and was frankly the only one on that show who actually looked the part.
+1
I loved, loved, loved that show but just can’t watch. Especially with Kathy gunning for her job since the day Joan died. FP died with Joan.
Yes, it did DIE w/ Joan. Some people are irreplaceable…one of a kind…and it diminishes Joan’s memory to be replaced by anyone, especially Kathy Griffin, even if they were friends.
I felt like Kathy was a little quick to jump in there. Maybe I’m just projecting though. I feel like even though Joan could be downright vulgar, there was a classiness about her that I just don’t feel with Kathy. They should let it go.
The show did die along with Joan. I will not be watching it anymore. The final episode for me was Joan’s last. She looked and was fabulous as always, and was the only reason to watch. Putting in a cheap replacement as annoying as Kathy just doesn’t work, at least not for me. I’ve never found a thing I’ve heard her say to be funny. RIP Joan, RIP Fashion Police.
I can’t watch either. I think it was a mistake to continue the show without her. She WAS the show.
I think Joan would have laughed her butt off at Amal’s self importance and those horrid gloves.
Joan probably would have said even more and way worse. IMO.
Amal and George are both annoying with their self importance and pr machine. Well Kathy didn’t get the “kiss-ass” Memo. LMAO
Kathy in those gloves said it all. LOL
Exactly right. Joan would have ripped them to shreads.
I can. I loved the glove bit. Still LMAO
I couldn’t sleep last night, so I watched Fashion Police at 3:30 on xfinity. It was ok. I have mixed feelings about ripping apart a celeb spouse – this isn’t really their job, you know? I hated the gloves, though. KG also made several jokes about Amal making the gloves herself and went on and on. Finally Kelly said ” then why did you tell her you loved them on the red carpet? I heard you!” Oops.
Granted, it’s not her job. Yet I don’t ever recall such a grand production and rollout of a celebrity spouse who isn’t in the entertainment business. And she seemed a more than willing participant (unlike, say, Carolyn Bessette). I think that is probably the difference.
Yes, that is certainly true.
Perhaps the reason she’s fair game for ripping apart is that the PR machine was working overtime telling us every little detail about the epic romance and marriage of George and Amal. Had they been low key about it, people would keep her more off limits, in my opinion.
I agree she shouldn’t be ripped apart. I doubt she has a stylist like the other actual celebrities on the carpet. I think it’s fine for people to not like the gloves, but it’s ugly to make such mean comments about them.
I’m SURE Amal has a stylist. Are you kidding?
I actually detest stylists, particularly of the Rachel Zoe variety who imposed their predictable look. Yawning over an whole generation of forgettable celebs as a result. I’d rather see dorky gloves that tried to be original than the BB cheesy pumps on Kathy Griffin. Stylists are making Hollywood so blandtastic. Make it stop.
Amal is Fair Game, she put herself out there and if she’s willing to take the good press, she has to be wiling to get the bad press too.
I am glad the Emporer’s new clothes came off. Those gloves were ugly and she is ANNOYING.
Yes, defending Julian Assange is really something to be proud of (eye roll).
+ 1
Lol ….
I watched FP last night and I have to say that it seemed really tame. Yes, Kathy Griffin would occasionally come out with a good crack (like the one about Amal, which was funny…and she had a point about Amal supposedly being untouchable) but overall the show really felt like it lost a lot of its edge.
No-one can really replace Joan Rives, after all.
I agree with you about Fashion Police seeming really tame but the Golden Globes themselves were very tame, if not downright dull. The FP crew didn’t have much to work with – the fashions were not interesting at all. When they all thought Lena Dunham was one of the best dressed in that hideous, ill-fitting crap, and sadly she was, that proves the whole evening was a bust. Wait until the really good award shows start and the new crew has a few episodes under their fashionable belts and things should heat up.
On a side fashion note, why do so few of the women wear necklaces anymore? With some of the low necklines, a jeweled necklace would have really popped. Elizabeth Taylor, the late bejeweled goddess, could have shown this crop of carpet walkers a thing or two. Plus, I had no problem with Amal’s gloves, only with the color of them. Black would have been better or even a royal blue to add some color.
I dont like the gloves but her dress war great. I really liked it.
Yeah, the gloves are odd, but the dress really is very nice. I think it fits her really well and is tailored to a “t.” The gloves are ill fitting and make her hands look like they belong on Minnie Mouse, as if Minnie Mouse had dressed up for a night out on the town with Mickey.
I thought she looked beautiful (minus the gloves)
Amal probably needed a manicure. After she removed the gloves, she seemed to keep her nails curled under — almost claw-like. Very odd…
Mickey and Minnie Mouse.
I’m going to need a little more Fashion Police before I can offer an opinion on Kathy Griffin, but I do love the porn/bovine vet remarks.
Yeah, I think the comments on here packed a better punch.
ETA: would you please explain the bang situation in that top photo?
Slightly OT re KG bangs – I saw her up close and personal two years ago – she was headed into the same restaurant as PunkyDaddy and I were, and it was a few hours prior to her show that night. Kathy has had so many lifts that her hairline rivals that of Elizabeth I. No joke. Those bangs must be clip ons, or something.
“I’m fascinated how we’re like, not supposed to make fun of her because she married the great George Clooney”
We’re not supposed to make fun of her?
God I feel like such an as*hole now.
I Know, that’s been cracking me up since the Summer. Don’t make fun of Amal,
Don’t say she’s annoying or loves the cameras, or famew/// don’t just don’t….Amal is precious,
LMAO
LOL!
Amal has eclipsed gobbly Goop and Saint Angie-it’s bloody amazing!
Amal’ s hair extensions looked scraggly. Lovely face. Decent dress. Bunched up gardening gloves.
Not to mention her Elitist glare and bored-disgusted bitchface.
Amal has suddenly realized that George’s life is a low-brow, immature locker room of horrors.
I love Kathy and thought she did great!! Kelly Osborn on the other hand…..
Why is Kelly Osborne on fashion police? She typically looks like a disaster, and I guarantee they’ve had to hire writers to come up with anything for her to say.
I know!! I just dont understand.
Daddy’s money can buy her a lot.
good contacts…..Mom Sharon pushing…..
Kathy was hilarious in those horrible gloves.
Joan would have loved it. IMO
I will still watch but I really miss Joan.
Me too, I’ll watch and Kathy was spot on about AMAL.
Those Ugly gloves.
Amal is Annoying…..
The show will flop without Joan and even that George guy.
Agree.
I miss Joan, but the show do fine. It won’t be a weekly show like it used to be. There will only be a fashion police after a major award show.
Oh, I thought they were still doing it weekly. In that case, yeah, they’ll be fine.
I just follow bns around, agreeing with her.
GNAT
I always agree with you too babe 😉
Do Kelly and Kathy visit this site? Because the dishwasher and bovine exam references were made on yesterday’s post. Then again, those gloves could write their own jokes.
I read somewhere that she didn’t pick her dress until Saturday. I would have thought everything would have been finalized weeks prior to the event. She and GC knew the spotlight would be on them, so a last minute decision is surprising.
Their writers probably do.
Good point. I recall seeing an episode of Joan’s reality show that showed the writers who helped her for FP.
I was thinking that! I think this board had funnier comments than some of the stuff they mentioned too 😉
I didn’t get the impression that Amal didn’t want to be there. She seemed a bit awkward and uncomfortable, but lovely still.
Yeah, I ended up really warming up to her after the Globes.
Yes, that’s what I thought too. A bit out of her element so not comfortable, but fine as she was there supporting her hubby …
She was just being gracious. I doubt she actually wanted to be there, but she knew what was expected of her.
Oh right. She was waiting for this night for months.
NO NO NO! I forgot to watch the first Kathy Griffin Fashion Police! Never again! She is the only one who could replace Joan Rivers-I miss her.
Bravo Kathy! You went where 99% Hollywood and press wouldn’t dare to go because it’s GC! What a woman. Very cool. Yes, white gloves were loose, bunched up and was unnecessary. She tried to be classy ala Jackie Kennedy, backfired. Don’t try to be classy if you can’t carry it, just sayin’. Her armpit here, yikes .

Dr.Pol wears bovine insemination gloves on TV, one just like that but they are clear plastic. Haha…Good one Kelly.
Well said Scout….I was LMAO. Kathy doesn’t give a damn about George’s PR and every lauding Amal. In that way Kathy was like Joan, she just went for it and called it as she saw it.
It’s like the Emperor’s New CLOTHES. Kathy was one of the only ones on tv willing to say it as she saw it with AMAL.
The gloves were Prom queenish and hokey. Amal could not pull off whatever look she was going for with those gloves. Especially with her arms being so thin, the gloves looked ridiculous on her.
Yeah, Kathy Griffin criticizing Amal, that is pretty rich.
Kathy is a fashion disaster herself with that orange hair.
Amal is very beautiful and classy, she could wear a potato sack and still look better than Kathy.
Seriously! I don’t consider myself to be an Amal fan, but leave her out of it. Amal’s harmless. She didn’t seem to be enjoying herself at the award show either. I wonder if she’s regretting marrying George yet – now that she’s gotten an official look inside of this world. It’s full of shallow and arrogant a–holes.
Agreed! I’m so tired of elegant women getting ripped apart by vulgar clowns. And seriously, neither KO or KG have 1/10 the class and style that most of the women they denigrate.
LMAO.
Kathy Griffin was spot on. I hated those ugly gloves.
George and his PR can go “soup cry” because Kathy didn’t get the kiss ass memo.
Every Word of THIS!
I was expecting more snark from Kathy. Maybe she wants to ease into by degrees? I think the guy has potential. Kelly was just “I love EVERYBODY”- maybe she did this in the past and it was less notable due to Joan. Now conspiracy theorists- why was Rancic covered up? Think it had anything to do with her skeletal appearence Sunday night?
Guillana wasn’t covered up earlier on Enews so I doubt she was covered up because of the critical comments about her appearance.She has looked like that for months.
If I were Amal, I would be looking around the room, seeing all these self-congratulatory, privileged celebrities, the majority (not all) of whom probably can’t string two coherent sentences together (especially after hundreds of dollars worth of free champagne) much less fill them with any sort of educated intelligence or wit, and just spend the night dreaming of my next amazeballs legal conversation with my colleagues back at the office.
I’m sure if Reese Witherspoon or Kathy Griffin or any of the other celebrities had to sit in an awards ceremony celebrating the best legal brains in the country, they’d be feeling kind of nonplussed and over it too. I think we have all been that person in that room with people with completely different priorities, interests, hobbies, and yes, even levels of intelligence from our own, and it is truly an uncomfortable experience. A lot of the attendees at the Globes have a tremendous amount of emotional intelligence (Streep, Ruffalo, Keaton, Blunt, Jones…), but I really find it difficult to believe they could carry out the sorts of conversations Alamuddin enjoys having with her friends. Not that she’s better or more intelligent than them, but I can’t see her sitting down with many of them and having a really enjoyable time the way you see most of the actors do with each other. I just don’t see her having much in common with them. Celebrities live in their own bubble and Alamuddin doesn’t act for a living. I could be completely wrong.
No, I think you’re right on the mark. There are a a very small number of celebrities who would be comfortable enough to handle an intelligent conversation among the likes that Amal and her colleagues usually have. I have never met Amal and have no idea what she is like, but I wouldn’t be surprised if she was bored to tears at the Globes. Just as 99% of the celebrities there would be bored if they were at a gathering with Amal and her colleagues.
Really? She married Clooney in the most publicized/celebrity wedding of the year. She’s been on several vacations with Clooney, Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber. It’s a little rich to think she can’t converse with people less educated than her, or that she feels uncomfortable with celebrity and privilege…
Her “real lawyer” friends certainly cannot claim the privileges Amal has this year, with the seemingly unlimited time off to flit around the world on one luxury vacation after another. They’re sitting in offices, focused in the grunt work that goes into “real lawyering” prepping cases, researching, not attending one celebrity event or vacation after another.
Since she’s married Clooney, Amal’s work has been reduced to being a very photogenic mouthpiece for a few high profile cases. More like PR than being a “real lawyer.”
Meh, I’m not saying we should feel sorry for her or that she doesn’t have it easier than her colleagues, I’m just saying I kind of get why she seemed over it at the Globes. Just because she was on vacations with Crawford and Gerber didn’t mean she enjoyed it. When you’re newly in love (if that’s the case here and not a publicity match), very little bothers you. The honeymoon phase is kind of ending now. I can see her being bored or overwhelmed with too many people she has nothing in common with.
Also just because we know about certain high profile things she’s been working on, doesn’t mean she hasn’t been working on other stuff. The thing about working in law is that… much of it is kind of confidential.
In her job she is often with the people she has nothing in common, like clients…but, as can be noted, she has no respect to others and their work with that ‘ it is sooo boring here tonight’ attitude. For rach person its work is most important thing, if she wants from others to respect her, she has to respect others.
I see in her someone who wants to be so important and she is fake shy. And actors may be vain and all but they are interesing people. Trust me 😄
As a real lawyer with real lawyer friends, none of whom who have had time for that many vacations in a one year period, I agree 100%.
She has only been called since 2010 in the UK and she would not have the experience to be leading any cases with a high profile. If you look closer, there are always more senior lawyers attached to the cases she has been working on. I can only imagine how her colleagues in her chambers feel about this, at least the ones who are junior like her. The lawyers running her chambers love this because it is amazing publicity and they will take advantage of it as much as possible.
Good lord, if this woman cared about being serious, then she would have never married Clooney. She would have married a diplomat, another lawyer, a judge, a doctor, etc. She knew exactly what she was getting, including all the publicity, when she married him.
Me thinks Amug likes the spotlight way more than she cares to admit.
I think that comment is a bit misinformed. I have met a lot of highly influential professionals, Including lawyers and I wouldn’t assume the artistic crowd is not educated nor interested in the same things as Amal. Keep in mind many people at these event are also big wigs in the entertainment business and probably could blow Amal’s education and experience out of the water. They are not just actors, not that actors are not educated either. Meryl Streep has a masters from Yale, and Eddie Redmayne went to Eton with Prince William. Reese Witherspoon who you mentioned went to Stanford for a while and left to star in a movie, but not many people get into Stanford.
Some of the films and television shows and documentaries deal with ground breaking human rights issues such as the civil rights movements, transgender, and lgbt. The people who fought hard to make these films and television shows happen would be very interesting to talk to, and certainly have similar interests to the human rights lawyer Amal.
I don’t know why she looked sort of bored, it could be she really didn’t want to be there, but I find that odd as she is the one who married George Clooney. Let’s be honest with the wedding they had you really couldn’t go more over the top in how much publicity you can garner than that. It was sure baptism by fire and she seemed to be soaking it up there.
Maybe she was nervous and shy, but who knows. I think it is okay that Kathy Griffith made fun of the gloves. To me they were a miss, but others are just totally fawning all over her, and I find that odd. The dress was nice but not spectacular. People were just all over her because of George and to me that is annoying.
+1000000
Yes.
So, why do you think she married Clooney? She has met his HW friends before the wedding, so if she thought they would be ‘beneath’ her, or boring partners in conversation, she truly should have considered to refrain from marrying this fast. The other misconception might be to think that most HW people are uneducated. You can google- it’s not true. Quite a few of them have seen a university from the inside. But I personally would be worried more about someone who is unable to be friendly, and social with others than about a person who can’t hold a discussion about politics/legal matters. Seriously, wisdom and life experience beat theoretical knowledge at any time. But in the end, she was there to support her husband, whom she did choose on her free will (I hope). George will have his fair share of endless debates about politics, too. It’s a giving, and taking, called marriage.
Crikey. I don’t know why everyone is taking my comments to such an extreme. I haven’t called all celebrities uneducated morons. I conversely haven’t called Alamuddin a brilliant lawyer who deserves all the time off she has been given. I’m just saying in my eyes, she married someone she loves, she gets on with his friends (and maybe puts up with some of them to an extent), but she looked on the night of the Globes exactly how I would look if I were surrounded by a bunch of theatre enthusiasts, for example, or professional footballers, instead of people who work in the fields I have something in common with and can speak about: a little underwhelmed. I don’t know where all of this “socially awkward” stuff is coming from. My husband works in the voluntary sector while I work in the corporate sector; when I attend his social events, I can socialize, do small talk, find some common ground with his colleagues, but I’m not particularly absorbed or enthused the way I would be if I were talking to those who worked in my field. Would anyone claim to be? My husband certainly feels the exact same way about attending my events. I don’t think that makes either of us socially awkward, cold, b-tchy or any of these other nasty things people have been calling her. I also don’t think it means I’m superior to his colleagues or that he is superior to mine. And who even considers “boring partners in conversation” as a selection criteria to whether or not to get married?! If that were the case, I’m sure both me and my husband would consider we would have equal grounds for divorce…!
Either way, I’m pretty sure Clooney would be quite reserved and quiet if he were attending an event honoring people in her field – why should anyone expect any different from her? People bring up the publicity of the wedding, but I don’t get why. That was a wedding, the most exciting day of your life. There’s a lengthy history of people getting carried away, especially after a short courtship (people with a long courtship are typically the ones with the more demure weddings: see Harrison Ford-Calista Flockhart, Angelina Jolie-Brad Pitt, Portia De Rossi-Ellen DeGeneres).
Geez. Things don’t have to be so black and white.
@Sorry ,but I didn’t say friends being ‘boring partners in conversation’ should be a selection criteria to whether or not getting married- please read again. I said that IF she would have felt that about his friends, she might have waited a bit longer before marrying (“refrain from marrying THIS FAST”). Simply, because she will meet those people quite regularly (Cindy&Rande…) for as long as the marriage exists, and they are very important to Clooney. Also, I didn’t imply you called all celebrities morons. “The other misconception MIGHT be to think that MOST HW people are uneducated.” It’s difficult to discuss anything when words are twisted this way.
@mrdarcy I respectfully disagree again. I think and know if George Clooney was around her work contemporaries he wouldn’t look bored and probably isn’t although I never asked him so don’t know that for sure. I have been at events with him in DC with political & education leaders, and quite a few lawyers of her stature or higher. One his father hosted and one a correspondents dinner. The man can work a room with anyone, and if he is bored he doesn’t look it.
Also, I can tell you that people generally when they meet Hollywood celebrities are pretty tongue tied and generally impressed whether you are a famous doctor, politician, world leader or human rights lawyers. Being unimpressed with Hollywood celebrities is generally not what I have seen. It is just a different dynamic than most professions.
I honestly think she was probably a bit overwhelmed with the scope of the whole thing. She even said so much when someone asked her on the red carpet what she thought. She said the red carpet seemed a bit crazy, but she was excited to support her husband. I have been to smaller local events and they are a bit crazy and overwhelming and then four hours in- exhausting. This could be what people were seeing. The Golden Globes is better than most as you get food and drinks, and that helps. Not being mean here, but she obviously doesn’t eat or drink a lot so I don’t think that helped her much. Conversely, she could also be an upper class London Brit who does think they are above all these people, as I don’t know her I couldn’t say for sure. I just think a lot of these conjecture about people in the arts and the leaders who produce these projects are not my experiences.
The reason I brought up the wedding was not because she shouldn’t have a big blown out wedding, but if people think she is reserved around people without similar interests then the wedding with all the paparazzi seems doubly odd. Sorry you can have a big blown out wedding without all that publicity, and I am sure Clooney and his millions could have pulled that off if she wanted it. Plus she didn’t seem uncomfortable there. I think people have to realize both of them wanted the publicity for the wedding. I don’t think his fame and celebrity bothers her at all. Which since she married a very public man is good thing.
I couldn’t get over how much she played with her hair.
SAYRAH totally agree. The hair thing is very teenager-y and not sophisticated at all. And her bored attitude was insulting to George’s tribe – those are all his people!
I don’t agree that Amal has all this important work back at the office. First of all, someone on CB pointed out you can become a barrister with the equivalent of 3 years of college here. Big whoop. Second, now they are just using her for PR photo ops. And third, when she opens her mouth she has made some major gaffes (like criticizing the legal system/judge where her client is being tried). Plus we all know her clients are on the wrong side of the human rights issues. People are seriously deluded about her.
George’s team has done an INCREDIBLE job of making her look impressive. It’s interesting to look at the “before” pictures of her, back when she had an overbite and a bigger nose and wore toddler clothes.
This is true the Enron joke was my favorite as she indirectly worked for Enron not the people bilked by Enron. NIce job George’s PR team!!!!
She does have a MLA from NYU which you can get with one year. They generally encourage the law students from overseas to apply for law school, but they have the other programs such as MLA’s, and you can sit for the bar. She spent four years, but if she went in the US to get a JD it would be seven.
Thank you Belle Epoch! I have been saying that her politics are questionable for quite some time. It really makes one question Clooney’s judgement.
I agree. Very distracting and it seems as if a lot of celebrities are doing this these days!
I’ve read other stories about how Amal was dressed with white gloves and black, in an Audrey Hepburn manner (?) and praised for that look. Anna Wintour must have given some sort of approval. Kathy can be mean – but Joan was almost always right on about fashion. What does Kathy know? I’m not saying that I liked Amal’s look; but I think Kathy is mean toward women, whereas Joan only teased about the clothes, without taking shots at the person. Joan knew fashion – she sold it! The way that Amal is criticized, borders on bullying to me. She looks beautiful, most of the time.
Are people jealous because George married Amal? He is the one that should be criticized; not her, IMO. I’m sure that Amal will decide if she wants to be involved in this kind of nonsense, or whether George’s ability to manipulate press will be an advantage to her dreams. I see her new profile, almost making her a target of violence by the crazies (?) in the Middle East.. This might have been a bad move for her; will being Mrs. Clooney work for her? – maybe she loves the man… Time will tell, but I’m on Amal’s side; because George has always treated women poorly, like he was some sort of ultimate prize. Barf!
Is Amal Clooney known to be a B? That’s always the perception I’m getting, but it might just be a tabloid narrative.
I enjoyed Kathy. Who wears gloves anyway? Amal was definitely seeking for an attention and it’s ANNOYING. She is a classy woman, doesn’t need to rub it in our face.
I like the new Fashion Police so far. It felt like it was more about the fashion and less about setting up Joan Rivers to make a long drawn out joke. Don’t get me wrong, Joan was alright but sometimes the jokes were too forced & too long. Dear heavens, the worst of it was how all the panelists forced laughter. George being the worst and the fakest. I really like the new guy also, although he doesn’t need to bring up the fact that he is gay every 5 minutes. The show definitely felt a bit more sedate.
I was surprised that Kathy didn’t annoy. I usually find her so annoying. Like a manic squirrel on crack. However, she cool as a cucumber and she actually let other people talk. The one think I don’t know about is Kathy and fashion. I have never seen here as fashionable or caring about fashion, but she appears to know what she does and doesn’t like. Time will tell but I’m in.
Joan made me laugh so hard. She was everything. I didn’t tune in for a detailed description of a fashion outfit. I tuned in for a little bit of everything about the outfits, but mostly for Joan’s amazing comebacks.
I was a Joan Ranger and didn’t’ even know it. I salute you, Joan.
very true. Joan was unique. I salute her, too.
I love Kathy Griffin and thought she did a great job last night on “Fashion Police”. She isn’t Joan Rivers and shouldn’t be expected to be her as they were two totally different people.
As for Amal, I agree that the gloves ruined what was an elegant look, but I really don’t care what she wore. To me, she represents something much more than a beautiful woman in a beautiful dress – she represents a strong, independent and highly intelligent woman. It’s so refreshing to see someone like Amal in the media, as it’s usually chalk full of self-absorbed, trashy and dumbed down women such as Kim Kardashian.
Well I welcome the snark! After reading so much sycophantic bullcrap about Amal being the queen of the night and showing all those ‘media’ people up for the shallowtons they are, a little bite of reality is very welcome. Her gloves were ridic, she is not some superior being, she’s a barrister and the only reason she’s being treated with kid gloves (but not baggy white ones) is because she’s married to a man who bizarrely, considering his acting and director skills, remains one of Hollywood’s favourite sons. The sooner this deification stops, the better for everyone concerned, Amal most particularly, as it’s not doing her any favours at all.
Go Guesto!!!
This is all about George: any woman he married would be criticized, for being all, that the other women weren’t – except that they were – it’s all on George. Amal shouldn’t have to suffer because of his “son” status, or flagrant behavior with other women, needing her become a victor of what prize – George?! How well did she know him? (not his caricatures in film.) The PR stories are all about George’s great picker; his beatification of Amal. But it’s his beatification and his PR!. This seems more about his excuses to the women he trashed. I call that kind of man a d***. I really don’t see anything of Amal, other than pleasantness, (and George being delighted). What a way to tell all the women who cared for him in the past, that they just didn’t have what it takes. PR amazes me!
Maybe he needs a Cosby-like showdown! – Or the Duke of York take-down. Why do men believe that they can treat women like beggars?
I have to leave it to Amal’s mother approving the marriage – there’s a bigger story, is what I’m trying to say. I surely hope that they are in love. George is trash, in the same way he trashed others, IMO.
Well said.
Edit
I don’t care that Amal got made fun of because of the reasons listed above, but doesn’t everybody (even the dumb people?) get bored at these awards shows? They’re really long, and half-way through the comedians seem to disappear. Matthew McConaughey looked just as bored during Clooney’s speech as Amal might have looked during everything else (I couldn’t tell what she was thinking, to be honest. She seemed to try to be low-key. George looked smug though).
I love Major Crimes! 🙂
Me. Too.
Arranged marriage because he’s going to run for political office. She’s not even into him. He’s nothing outside the US. I don’t see the appeal. Not sure why she’s agreed to marry him. When this sham of a marriage is over she’ll date some European gazillionare and he’ll go back to dating waitresses.
If Amal is so over Hollywood, (just by looking at her body language), she looked so bored being there why did she attend the GG.
It appears AC believes she is better than “those people” why did she marry a middle age movie star?
Why didn’t Amal fly back to London and pretend she had Lawyer work to do, “important work”, and skip the Golden Globe. Btw, a lawyer is one of the profession that some people looked down on. I’m thinking if she believes she is so better than those movie stars, looking at her face on Sunday, I’m sure some people believe their job as a janitor is more important than being a lawyer jmo.
The show has a team of writers, just like when Joan was there, so it’s not like Kathy & Co. came up with any of the jokes themselves.
Just saying…
Wow usually her hair is amazing but it was a greazy mess here. Very disappointed. I love the snotty look on her face in that second pic. And yes the gloves are bad. Very bad.
I see she is trying to show the “Je suis Charlie” pin on her purse, and I missed it at first because of the gloves. She would have been better without them. I can’t believe the stitching – isn’t that the kind of stitching used on men’s gloves? I always thought stitching on women’s gloves is supposed to be hidden.
I almost wish she would have worn the “Je suis Charlie” pin on her scarf. Not for looks but for the statement. I realize there is not room for it on the dress. I see George has one too – I missed it at first because I was busy looking at the gloves.
About Charlie – maybe keeping up with the news from Paris is why she looks so glum.
Those are her design, so George will buy enough advertisements and PR for them that we all will love them by the end of the year!
Oh dear ! Please noooooo….
That level of snark is just so juvenile. Hating on someone, calling them “annoying”, because of gloves…is that what celebrity-bashing has become? “Haha, aren’t I hilarious calling them bovine insemination gloves….”
I’m sure Amal is crying into her high level legal briefs at that one Kathy. By aping Joan Rivers you made yourself look like a copy-cat mean-girl who has to rely on cheap shots to get attention.
I was just wondering if the joke would pop more when heard than what I’ve read because it didn’t seem so funny.
I’ve got no beef with Amal, I’m kinda glad someone was there to look bored and give polite smiles. Hollywood does tend to think of itself as important and much as I love Tina and Amy this awards ceremony this year just seemed like watching the parade and knowing the emperor has no clothes but seeing everyone still fawning and gasping in awe.
The Cosby jokes, the North Korea jokes…meh either go for it ladies or stick to the PR humor because you’re not really pushing the button on anything.
Kathy’s ok. The main difference for me is that I found Joan really funny. Kathy’s ok, I find her more amusing than funny, so no belly laughs from me
i remember canalis’ b’face which was classic but she had an excuse as she actually was déclassé. since gc is a package deal and that package has some very unsavory elements, she must have decided to just be herself. bad posture, war paint and all…maybe they were all mean-girling her. i looked around the room and wondered if there was anyone there clooney hadn’t slept with. they are after all newlyweds. but it seems true love hardly stands a chance in hollywood. you have to be relentless and guard your privacy and your heart. i wonder if either of them has the emotional maturity to manage it.
Doh, I forgot FP was on last night so will have to wait for it to re-air. I don’t generally like Kathy but I love FP and I think Joan would have wanted it to go on. I think Kathy is snarky enough to bring it for the show. May take a while, tho. Let’s face it, some of Joan’s jokes were DECADES old. I loved her and I’m still sad she was taken from us too soon. But that lady knew how to recycle a joke.
Kathy Griffin will never have the life force and zing that Joan had.
One thing that really bothered me about Kathy – she started hustling for Joan’s job while Joan was still in a coma. She denies it, but several people called her out on it – including Cindy Adams. Kathy did an interview with Larry King, where Larry asks her point blank if she tried to hustle for the job – if you listen carefully, the first word out of Kathy’s mouth was – yes! Then she backtracks and says she respects Joan, bla bla bla. You can tell she’s lying.
So what , Kathy hustled for the job. If you don’t hustle for yourself in Hollywood no one else will especially in your 50’s and a woman.
Kathy didn’t like Amal’s gloves. She didn’t follow the Clooney kiss ass memo, Good for her.
So the media has one person go off Clooney PR book and say something unflattering about Amal’s attire……so what. Is she that precious that no one can have a laugh at her expense.
Amal better get use to it, it will only get worse. Wait until Kathy does her stand up show and puts in Clooney or Amal.
I have been wanting to talk to someone about Kathy G’s HAIR!! Is it pieces? Bad wigs? Clip on bangs? The overall effect is red hair with a plastic, Barbie consistency.
Also, the white gloves though. Oh dear.
I wish Fashion Police had mentioned that Amal’s floor length gowns/pants are all too long-I’m surprised that she hasn’t tripped already-Matter of fact, George’s trousers are also laying on his shoes. On the other hand, Amal wears other dresses so short that it’s indiscreet. Short short dresses are OK for two-year-olds who are wearing ruffled panties, but not cool for a high powered humaritarian rights lawyer.
I was just about to mention his pants. He said this was his wedding tux, which would suggest the pants would be the correct length instead of stacked up. She is lucky she didn’t rip the hem of the dress, because it looks like she’s standing on it in one picture.
With all the resources he has, why miss these key details? It’s really baffling, even more so than the gloves.
Those gloves were pretty awful–way to big in the fingers. However, I think her weave is far worse. This woman has a decent looking face, and lovely skin. If she got rid of that weave and wore her hair natural, with a shorter length, she would look great.
Are you referring to Griffin’s weave? Yeah, its pretty bad, looks even faker when you see it up close and her naturally fine thin hair separates from the thick, treated weave pieces.
I agree about her hair. I would like to see her with the style Jane Seymour is currently wearing…blunt cut with bangs, no layers and about two inches below the shoulder. I would also like her to go with her natural color and stop coloring it. I think it would soften her look and open up new color possiblities for clothing.
I think she’s fair game for how much she’s been in the media, but attacking her clothing is…well, kind of pointless? Speaks to the very culture she was just humoring by going along?
The dress was a bore – and it was intentionally so – but the gloves are most definitely a fashion statement. You might not like the statement being made, but that’s not the point of them. We didn’t have to like them. It’s what the gloves say about the type of woman who would wear them, the type of woman who has 50s style white gloves in her possession to be deployed on the red carpet. It’s a statement that’s dominated discussion of the red carpet for three days now, and still is trending on tumblr and twitter. It’s the best kind of fashion statement because it was subtle enough that you didn’t realize how powerful it was until afterwards.
And his speech? His televised toast to her as the woman of her life? PR perfection. You’d have to be a hard ass cynic not to buy into it. I’m a cold hearted bitch, and now I’m buying into it a little now. Do I think there are other motives underlying their marriage? Sure. But do I think those motivations can exist next to real love and affection? Entirely possible.
If she doesn’t do it for you that’s fine, but this is a woman who knows what she’s doing, knows that she does it well, and doesn’t really care what Hollywood thinks. I can see what Clooney saw in her. It’s probably exactly what he needed.
I agree. It is pointless to get snarky about some clumsy white gloves which did probably look like that on purpose.
but…..The show is called Fashion Police for a reason.
Amal’s clothes are fair game. Is she supposed to be THAT precious that a comedienne can’t make fun of her wearing those awful gloves?
I said I she is fair game; I just think mocking her over it is pointless. At the end of the day, her appearance is an accessory to her life, not an integral part of it. After 80% of the Globes nominees go home empty handed, she’s still a wealthy attorney with plenty of access to do what she wants and how she wants to do it. Basically, she wins either way.
She’s lucky it wasn’t Joan it would have been way worse!
@ someonestolemyname
Griffith is awfully snarky and bitchy. In no way funny and no bonhommie. She makes it sound as if wearing clumsy white gloves is a crime that requires serious shaming and punishment. A bit more light-hearted would be more appropriate.
Btw. One is not supposed to mock people over their weight. So no more “You fat bitch”. But one can still say “You gloves are awful, bitch!” ??? WTF. A bit more respect would be nice. If it ain’t harmful: Don’t trash and shame everything you don’t like.
And what would Jesus have done in Griffith’s place? Would he approve?
Get a grip.
Nah. We get the gloves. They weren’t a bold fashion statement, just sloppy and a little bit cliche. Is it ‘pointless’ to say so? Since that’s what do here what we do here it seems infinitely more pointless to point it out.
I believe you overestimate her intelligence by implying she intentionally picked a boring dress. And what exactly is the ‘powerful fashion statement’ she made, picking those gloves, that we have missed? That seems to be a bit of an exaggeration to me, since she already showed a couple of times that her taste in cloth is simply sometimes less than ‘impeccable’. Which isn’t a big deal. But considering all the hype before the Globes about her “nailing it”, this simply was a bit underwhelming. Wealthy lawyers can be that way, too.
I think she was a partner following her husband to an event that was honoring him. I don’t think that’s overestimating her intelligence to say she intentionally dressed in a more sedate manner – that’s just common sense for anybody in that situation.
As for whether or not it was a powerful fashion statement, well…it’s now three days past the globes, and we are still talking about it. She’s still trending on tumblr. Her post on GFY has generated the most comments. Regardless if you felt it had any genuine content, it made a statement. It’s fine if you don’t like her. I’m not always the biggest fan of her style, myself. I do, however, think she has a sharp mind for PR, and that’s exactly why George likes her.
Totally OT, but Major Crimes was totally worth missing Fashion Police for. I’m still in shock by what happened.
I like the Dior dress. I’m not sure if Amal is really bored and disinterested. I think she likes the attention but she is trying to be polite about it. It translates into her weird expressions and posing on camera. The way she looked into the camera directly while with Seacrest was very awkward. Maybe she’ll get the hang of it later. I have a feeling that she is sheltered; hung out with the same friends, close to her family kind of sheltered. Nonetheless, I think Amal is very refreshing gossip and I’ve commented before that I can’t think of any non-celeb spouse who has garnered this much attention. So, cheers to great gossip. Why the assumption that she finds Hollywood beneath her? She makes a living by interacting with lawyers, statesmen, politicians, diplomats etc. so outside of work, she may jolly well find Hollywood refreshing. Not all of Hollywood is dumb. Shallow maybe but not all dumb. I work in banking and I’m sick of banking folks.
I think I’ll give KG some time too. I don’t think she actually wants to be like Joan. The show still has potential commercially and can go on without Joan.
I have FP taped to watch – I hope it’s good! I love Kathy Griffin – i’m cutting her slack for easing into the position. I wish it was still weekly though.
So – did anyone else notice Amal’s extensions? the whole top of her head, about an inch back from her forehead, is covered with extension pieces. I caught a great glimpse when they were still outside. She’s very pretty though. But the hair is enhanced bwahahaha.
Oh my Gawwd. I thought I was seeing things. I watched the NBC telecast of the Red Carpet when George and Amal were being interviewed and the entire bottom part of her hair looked, different texture and heavier and looked like total extension pieces. I was surprised.
This show just proved again how superficial it is.
I thought Amal looked stunning. I think the “fashion police” are always looking for something to criticize in order to be funny. However, I also think that many people who DON’T have their own “show” are always looking for something or someone to criticize in order to be funny, or at least pump up their own opinions or intelligence (or lack thereof).
The part that cracks me up is those people hosting Fashion Police could use a little well-deserved critique too!
I think Amal is gorgeous—and I think she’s one of those sorts who looks good in anything. Would I love to be “burdened” with such good looks?—I’m sure it wouldn’t bother me! Not sure I’d pick Clooney for anything other than a friend though—that’d be too dangerous for my poor heart. Amal does have a “royal” air about her. I’d love to know more about her background, because I haven’t actually seen that much about her life story yet. There is a fashion trend that “everyone” wears that bores me though, and that’s the bare arm thing. It looks “cold” to me—and it’s getting very boring. So you work out, big friggin’ deal…and when you go the way of “dust” in the end, who in the world will give a flying fug about how great your arms used to look?
Wow, some people are going into deep analysis of the white glove incident. IMO the gloves looked dorky, because Amal was channeling the dorky part of her personality and Kathy Griffin found a target and made fun of her.
I Liked Amal’s dress but the gloves didn’t work because they were too loose. If they fit better I think it would have looked okay.
I think it’s just part of her dress sense, she’s still a bit of an individual about it which is fine. I know people criticise her posture as well but I like that she isn’t all glossed up and “perfected”. She could probably get some posture correction lessons or something if she wanted.
Although she didn’t seem as comfortable here as she has looked previously at events. I’ve seen her on the news etc before she got together with clooney and I liked her from those appearances, she came
Across as articulate and intelligent and professional so I’m not sure why she seems So uncomfortable at this event.
I will never ever understand the appeal of Fashion Police. I’m not above laughing at something a little mean if it’s also actually FUNNY, but these braying screeching b-listers are rarely that… they’re just pointlessly nasty and hoping it passes for funny. They remind me of the moronic “A group” from Romy & Michele; “Hiii Back-Brace Girrrlll!”
Idk – the first thing that pops into my mind: Avon Maleficent.
She looks icy too.
Wow! Just think, this whole thing started over a ridiculous pair of white gloves.
She can wear whatever she wants but they’re right, the gloves were weird with that outfit. She’s a little kooky – remember those mismatching heels (purple and pink, I think they were)?
George was so embarrassing during his speech. So desperate for approval. He’s been pimping out his “human rights lawyer” catch to reestablish his credibility and to put the dirty old man who does two-year contracts with women after his age image behind him.
+1000
And by ‘pimping out his catch’ for the xxxth time, he forgot to thank his parents! He was extremely focused on his ‘love life’- god knows how often he rehearsed that speech…
No one cares what show you watch.
Obviously no one will be able to fill Joan’s shoes but Kathy Griffin is the closest thing. I don’t watch the show regularly. I do see it when the Oscars are on. So I’m afraid I can only weigh in on the fact that yes, if she hadn’t worn those gloves she wouldn’t have been scrutinized so much.
Maybe she’s pregnant? Newly pregnant can mean tired, nauseous, piqued? The only time she was animated was when Ryan Seacrest was asking her about her, allowing her to talk about her. That’s telling. Prediction: Clooney is going to catch his Karmic concubine comeuppance with this one.
For anyone who isn’t aware, although most people are, George Clooney is not actually married. He had a fake wedding arranged by the C.I.A. as payoff to Amal Alamuddin for providing intel. Alamuddin has an uncle who is an arms dealer and has terrorist connections. The entire marriage was scripted, staged, and completely fake. It was supposed to have ended at the end of the year, but then the C.I.A. bought Clooney a Golden Globe award in order to extend the fake marriage contract longer and further destroy Clooney’s life and the life of his real love interest, who those who know her call “Anna.” Anna is not her real name, it’s used to protect her privacy
