Fug Madness 2008: Round One Is Done

The first round ended on Friday with one more tight matchup, some moderately close contests, and a few blowouts -- some expected, some surprisingly decisive. If you haven't already, consider downloading and printing the full bracket, so you can fill it in as we go and track how things are shaping up.

Round 2 begins today. But first: Friday's results! Hooray! Click through to see what you've made happen, and who'll face off come Tuesday.

(2) SHARON STONE vs. (7) SCARLETT JOHANSSON

Sharon, as expected, sent Emma packing with 90 percent of the vote. ScarJo fug-whispered Jennifer Love Hewitt into the light, dispatching her 54 percent to 45 percent (again, the percentages are wonky because of weird rounding in the polling software).

(3) KEIRA KNIGHTLEY vs. (11) JULIETTE LEWIS

Kirsten Dunst's dreams of flaunting the fug in Round 2 came to a crashing halt when she ran into Juliette, who inspired 83 percent of you to vote her past the oft-braless Kiki. Juliette will now face off against Keira, who beat back a stern challenge from Natasha Bedingfield. It was up and down all day, back and forth, until Knightley snagged a slim margin in the late afternoon and never let go. She triumphed 51 percent to 48 percent against an incredibly -- and even surprisingly -- strong opponent.

(1) VICTORIA "POSH SPICE" BECKHAM vs. (9) JOSS STONE

Apparently, we underestimated how many of you cherish Posh as we do. In a matchup against Kate Bosworth that -- despite feeling convinced of Ms. Bosworth's potential for fug -- we thought would be a total rout in Victoria's favor, she only won with 2/3 of the total vote. Still, Posh avoided pulling a Lohan, and can now do as she pleases with Joss Stone, who beat Melissa George by 72 percent to 27 percent.

(4) KATE MOSS vs. (5) SIENNA MILLER

Kate Moss thoroughly trashed the hotel room of her ex-boyfriend Johnny Depp, evicting him from the competition by winning 70 percent of the vote. She now takes on boho twin Sienna Miller, who easily beat Sarah Michelle Gellar with support from 88 percent of you.

(1) MISCHA BARTON vs. (9) KEVIN FEDERLINE

This one will be a doozy. Unsurprisingly, Mischa trounced Kristen Bell by the highest margin yet, owning a massive 94 percent of the vote. She'll take on K-Fed, who sent Tilda Swinton packing with more ease than we anticipated -- he grabbed 60-percent support early on and despite dipping slightly around midday, ultimately never led by fewer than ten points.

(12) SPEIDI vs. (13) EVA GREEN

Apparently art does imitate life: In the real tournament, we had a few early upsets that led to twelves playing thirteens as well. Spencer and Heidi ripped off Tyra's wig to the tune of 55 percent to 44 percent, and will now have to get past Eva Green, fresh from booting Nicole Kidman back down under with 54 percent of the vote despite an energetic late push from Kidman "supporters" (we're not sure if they're supporters or detractors... probably a bit of both, honestly).

(2) BAI LING vs. (7) KELLY CLARKSON

Remember when we said Mischa won the most convincingly? Bai Ling has already made liars out of us. She captured 95 percent of the vote against Hilary Duff, who really should be extremely content that 4-5 percent of people bothered voting for her at all against so tough an opponent. Kelly fought tightly with Ashlee Simpson but ultimately won with 55 percent of the vote.

(3) TARA REID vs. (11) DANIEL DAY-LEWIS

Sad-sack Tara put away Ashley Olsen by capturing 88 percent of the vote. Daniel grabbed his axe and chopped down Cate Blanchett's campaign, inspiring 86 percent of you to vote for him.
