[Editor's note: Welcome to The Fug Report! Every Friday our fashion blogger friends Heather Cocks and Jessica Morgan, the sartorial geniuses behind Go Fug Yourself, will feature some of their favorite looks of the week in this space. We hope you enjoy it!]

This week on Go Fug Yourself, we watched Country Strong so that you don’t have to. We revisited last week’s sartorial efforts from the artist formerly known as Kate Middleton, which you should do. We took a look at the Tony Awards red carpet, which featured Whoopi Goldberg looking like the lovechild of her Sister Act character and a Captain Jack Sparrow, Frances McDormand really dressing down, and Al Pacino continuing his reign of hair terror. We investigated the dudes at the Green Lantern premiere, bemoaned Courtney Love’s pirate wedding-inspired look, and wondered if Ke$ha would ever wear pants again. But let’s not kid ourselves: We know the answer to that one is no.

1. According to TMZ, Charlie Sheen’s people are in “deep negotiations” with a major network (we’re guessing it’s probably Fox) for a new sitcom that’s being written specifically for him and could air as early as next January. There aren’t many other details, but we’ll go ahead and guess that Chuck Lorre is not involved.

2. Vulture reports that Darren Aronofsky is trying to secure Christian Bale as the star of his film adaptation of Noah’s Ark, a move which should also help him secure financial backing for the project.

3. Among the notable winners at The 15th Annual Webby Awards, which was held last night at at Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City, were Watson (the computer that won on Jeopardy!) for Webby Person of the Year; LCD Soundsystem which was named Webby Artist of the Year; and Dan Savage, who was honored for his work on the “It Gets Better Project.” [via The Wrap]

4. “It’s strange how that character has been co-opted into the culture in a way that he absolutely wasn’t in 1991. Patrick Bateman seems to embody something about masculinity that was blooming at a certain point in the late ’80s to early ’90s. This kind of damnification of the male. This obsession with male narcissism and beauty. Men being looked at in a way that women had been looked at for decades. American Psycho was probably the first novel about a metrosexual. And of course that’s now everywhere.” – Bret Easton Ellis talks about American Psycho 20 years later

5. If you were as impressed by Neil Patrick Harris’ rap recap at the end of Sunday night’s Tony Awards as we were, then you might find this behind-the-scenes video of Lin-Manuel Miranda and Thomas Kail scrambling to get the closing number written in time interesting.

1. We were happy to see that Trey Parker and Matt Stone’s hilarious musical The Book of Mormon killed it at the Tonys last night, taking home nine awards, but our favorite part of the night had to be host Neil Patrick Harris’ opening number. Watch it here.

2. JJ Abrams’ mysterious monster movie Super 8 dominated the box office in its opening weekend, making $37 million — which, while not exactly chump change, has to be a lot less than what they were hoping for. X-Men: First Class came in second, earning $25 million, while The Hangover Part II rounded out the top three with $18.5 million (bringing its cumulative earnings to a whopping $216.5 million).

3. Famed E Street Band saxophonist Clarence “The Big Man” Clemons — who most recently performed on two songs on Lady Gaga’s Born This Way album — suffered a stroke on Sunday. Unfortunately, there’s no word yet on how severe it was. [via Rolling Stone]

4. This could be interesting: The Coen Brothers told a crowd at the opening of the Film Society of Lincoln Center’s new facility, the Elinor Bunin Munroe Film Center, that they’re working on a project that will have quite a bit of live music in it, comparing it to Noah Baumbach’s 2007 film Margot At The Wedding.

5. If you didn’t watch Lil Wayne’s highly anticipated MTV Unplugged performance then you missed many magical moments, most notably seeing him cover Tupac’s “Hail Mary” and the premiere of Tha Carter IV track “Nightmares of the Bottom.” Check out the full episode here.

1. The nominations for the 65th annual Tony Awards were announced this morning, and — no surprise here! — The Book of Mormon leads all other productions with 14 nods. [via WSJ]

2. Did you miss watching Will Ferrell become “rock hard” as he finally made good on his promise to shave off Conan O’Brien‘s beard last night? View the full clip (which opens with Ferrell snarling, “I don’t even know who you are. I just look at that thing and want to attack it!”) here.

3. The sixth annual Believer Book Award has gone to Next by James Hynes. Click here to read a brief excerpt of his novel, which the lit mag describes as “nothing less than a state-of-the-art Mrs. Dalloway.”

4. In case you’re wondering what’s going on with the plastic wrapped bronze heads near Central Park: Following Sunday evening’s news that Osama bid Laden had been killed, the official opening of Ai Weiwei’s public art project was delayed until tomorrow morning because Mayor Bloomberg had to deliver a speech. [via WYNC]

5. And now for some shocking news: For the first time in 20 years, the number of American homes with televisions has gone down. Now, because of both poverty and the Internet, only 96.7 percent of American households now own sets. [via Gawker]

Broadway World reports that the producer’s of Neil LaBute’s Reasons To Be Pretty (which was his Broadway debut nominated for three Tonys) will be closing down the production come June 14th; they were obviously holding out to see if the show could nab any statues before they went public with the news. In case you missed it before, we interviewed Neil about the play here back in February. Read More »

So a confession: One of my guilty pleasures is Broadway musicals. So much so that I will stomach the misery of Times Square and the not-so-cheap TKTS booth to see a show when I can. However, the new year marked a dim start for the Great White Way with more than a dozen plays and musicals closing by the end of January. (Knowing that Harvey is no longer on stage belting “Timeless to Me” as Edna Turnblad is a dark reality I must face every day.)  And shows that were opening didn’t seem that promising — American Idol reject Constantine starring in a show based on songs you can play on Guitar Hero? Not exactly Les Mis material.   Read More »

We just came across a post on the New York Times Arts Beat blog that explained that due to a ruling by the Tonys committee, the three boys who rotate the role of Billy Elliot “would be considered jointly for a single nomination for leading actor in a musical.” They are not eligible as individuals.

Our reaction? Well, that just doesn’t seem fair. There’s no way David Alvarez, Trent Kowalik, and Kiril Kulish — aka the three Billys — deliver the exact same performances, even if they are treated as equals by the producers and the creative team. Note: if they win all three will get their own statue.
