Fug Madness 2008: Cher, Sweet 16
(5) FERGIE vs. (16) COURTNEY PELDON
Okay, so it turns out Peldon is a tough competitor. Who knew? We all thought she was sort of a hilarious mascot, but it seems she is also A FIGHTER. Miss Fergie Ferg should put up a good fight, though. I mean, look at her:
It's like if Hermione and Miss America had a baby and forced it to become a stripper. And then forced it to join the Girl Scouts. And then made it a Pink Lady. And then talked it into modeling for Cost Plus's line of accessories. And then made her into a total douchebag. Oh, wait -- sorry, that's Chad Michael Murray. Anyway, it's been a LONG HARD ROAD for Fergs, and many was the night that she was put away wet.
On the other hand, this IS this:
I mean, I don't even need to write anything.

That's not fair! Fergie really is teh fug and her crimes are multitudinous and rarely interrupted by well playeds , but the Peldon is the Peldon. Peldon is almost a synonym for fug. I voted for the Ferg anyway.
Posted by: Dez | Mar 27, 2008 9:07:57 AM
See, I have to go for Peldon because I get the impression that most of Fergie's attempts are just stage costumes, whereas Peldon REALLY DRESSES LIKE THAT.
Posted by: Meredith | Mar 27, 2008 9:07:58 AM
La Peldon's like the Little Fugger who Could. I love it.
Posted by: Robin | Mar 27, 2008 9:08:51 AM
Forget that Peldon looks like a cabbage in bloom in this particular photo and take a look at the Fergster. There's so many things wrong, you can't help but go cross-eyed.
Posted by: Da Goddess | Mar 27, 2008 9:08:54 AM
I went for Fergie-ferg - love her long time! I'm done this with this new upstart peldon . . . Has she pissed herself in public? Does she spell everything? No! You have to EARN the Fug!
Posted by: Jolly | Mar 27, 2008 9:09:51 AM
Ooh, I actually got to vote in Fug Madness!! (Due to time differences and such, I missed the first rounds.) Anyway, I got Fergie on this one. Fergie - well, you can either say that she's had the time and opportunity to let her fugliness mature and hit its stride, or that she's old enough to know better. Either way, Fergie wins for me.
Posted by: SmR | Mar 27, 2008 9:10:18 AM
How can Josh D. want to marry that FUG?? It's really beyond me.
Posted by: Susan | Mar 27, 2008 9:10:34 AM
The picture of Courtney Peldon made me crave coleslaw!
She just seems so earnest in her fug. How can you not vote for her?!!
Posted by: Robin W | Mar 27, 2008 9:10:50 AM
What a tough choice. On one hand you've got the token female in this generation's 'Village People' vs the young lady who never wears anything that makes sense to me. As much as Fergie annoys, I cannot deny the total fugness of lil miss Peldon.
Posted by: mel | Mar 27, 2008 9:10:52 AM
....to be a true fug, you should be famous for actually being something other than a fug, don't ya' think?
Posted by: Lisa | Mar 27, 2008 9:12:13 AM
I mean, where do you GET the clothes that Peldon wears? *Shudder*
Posted by: Smarmie | Mar 27, 2008 9:12:30 AM
On the one hand, I have sort of a soft spot for Fergie. On the other hand, doesn't there come a point where we should be voting for people who are famous for an actual reason? Otherwise, aren't we just encouraging the Phoebe Price's of the world?
Posted by: KATE | Mar 27, 2008 9:13:59 AM
I had to vote three times on this one: once for Fergie because she's just too easy, and then twice for the Peldon because whereas you have to earn the fug, those sleeves reminded me of veiny batwings, and so I retracted and decided that was even worse than looking like a stoned girlscout.
Posted by: Caitlin | Mar 27, 2008 9:13:59 AM
hahahahaha "oops, that's chad michael murphy," oops, i just pulled a ferg in my pants laughing. however, i voted for la peldon, because as hard as that made me laugh, peldon's getup right there inspired the theme from xanadu to start running through my head, and that, friends, is TRUE FUG.
Posted by: cate | Mar 27, 2008 9:14:23 AM
Come on Fergie Ferg. This Peldon chick is a real upset to my chart!
Posted by: Meg | Mar 27, 2008 9:14:25 AM
Peldon...Ferg...Peldon...Ferg. Gah! I can't decide...I was going to mention cabbage but someone beat me to it and right now cabbage is not my friend, but I like The Ferg's skirt, so I say Peldon is the 'winner' here.
Posted by: KattyBitch | Mar 27, 2008 9:15:12 AM
I am unable not to vote for someone who wet herself onstage. Even if Peldon's clothes are, by a hair, worse.
Posted by: The Movie Empress | Mar 27, 2008 9:15:18 AM
I had to go with Peldon. Fergie has kind of cleaned up her act. She can look sane. Peldon...?
Posted by: mkm | Mar 27, 2008 9:16:14 AM
I had to go with Peldon because she constantly exudes fug. She is currently fug, and seems to be looking for new ways to expand her fug in the future.
OTOH, Fergie seems to have been most fug in the past and seems to be on the upswing.
Posted by: Mrs. Swizzle | Mar 27, 2008 9:16:43 AM
Fug girls, you best summed up the reason I'm voting for Peldon (and will continue to do so until she reigns Fug Supreme:
"Who the hell does Courtney Peldon think she is? I suspect she thinks she's Hilary Duff or Kaley Cuoco, but really she's some hybrid who has tricked people into thinking she might be Hilary Duff, so they'd better not turn her down at the door, or else she'll start singing as a form of torture. There's a touch of The Insanity in her always-wide-open blue eyes, and there's a touch of the ho in all of her clothing."
Seriously, Fergie can't even compete with that!
Posted by: Lindsey | Mar 27, 2008 9:17:10 AM
Fergie is a performer and as part of her stage presence she has to be larger than life...Peldon is a rich chick who shows up to places wearing weird stuff just because. PELDON on this one!
Posted by: Michelle | Mar 27, 2008 9:18:12 AM
I have to wonder if Peldon's fashion mis-steps are deliberate - she seems like a huge self-promoter, in league with Phoebe Price. At least, I hope it's all due to the fact she's actually a mastermind at Getting Her Name Out There - otherwise, she's just a tragically BAD dresser.
Posted by: Megan | Mar 27, 2008 9:19:44 AM
Peldon needs to be stopped! She's a nobody, and she's beaten out too many true fuggers. Giving her the win is like giving any random person the win, like this kid: http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u39/8JM5/this-kid-is-awesome.jpg
Posted by: Dani | Mar 27, 2008 9:19:45 AM
Peldon. No question.
Posted by: Jolene | Mar 27, 2008 9:20:16 AM
While Miss Peldon is somewhat blind and believes she's a denizen of the slutty toad stool people of Planet Butterfly, she's also cute, quirky and seemingly earnest as all get out. Ferg on the other hand makes many video length's worth of narcissistic fug. She doesn't just wear fug, she embodies fug.
Posted by: Sweetpea | Mar 27, 2008 9:21:10 AM
This question has been bothering me for a while -who IS Courtney Peldon? I only know her as an exceptionally poor dresser. But, people, we should be worrying about exposure here- Fergies crimes against fashion are seen all over the world in danger of being considered cool by impressionable people. When voting, think of the ramifications. Seriously.
Posted by: Georgia | Mar 27, 2008 9:23:51 AM
La Peldon all the way. She's a natural fug, and that so totally counts for something. I mean, her clothing choices are all her own, as I'm assuming she has no "stylist" to blame it on, so she has completely earned her fug status the hard way. Bless her heart. You gotta love the girl. Anybody whose clothing makes you crave cole slaw is/should be a shoo-in, in my opinion.
Posted by: Ack! | Mar 27, 2008 9:25:09 AM
Holy crap! C Pel is wearing radicchio!
Posted by: Miss V | Mar 27, 2008 9:25:13 AM
Fergie all the way! Peldon dresses that way to get attention, while I think our Ferg really thinks she looks lke the cats pyjamas! (what does that mean, anyway?)
Posted by: shelley | Mar 27, 2008 9:27:16 AM
i think we have finally figured out what miss peldon's one & only talent is- FUGLINESS!!
Posted by: butcherbaby | Mar 27, 2008 9:27:27 AM
While this was a tough call, I am with The Movie Empress on this one: Public (accidental) urination takes the fugging cake.
Posted by: mimsy | Mar 27, 2008 9:27:52 AM
At least the stuff that Fergie wears can be considered "real clothes." If you took one piece from each outfit and wore it with jeans, you'd look pretty normal.
Peldon, on the other hand, insists on wearing costumes everywhere instead of clothes. Every day is Halloween for this lack-wit.
Posted by: Pandora | Mar 27, 2008 9:29:01 AM
Fergie...Peldon. Fergie...no Peldon. Gah! Tough choice! I in the however went for Peldon. There is just something so unredeemably fugly and tacky about her person that Fergie just doesn't quite have. Maybe it's a starlet thing? I mean who hasn't heard of Fergie? Now who has heard of Courtney Peldon? (See, maybe she dresses the way she does to get recognition somewhere. Scarier still, maybe it's actually her personality.)
Exactly.
Posted by: Hannah | Mar 27, 2008 9:32:09 AM
Fergie's argyles did it for me.
Posted by: Rae | Mar 27, 2008 9:32:10 AM
Holy crap, dude. Fergie Ferg totally lost once I saw those sleeves on the Peldon.
Posted by: Tana | Mar 27, 2008 9:32:27 AM
I'm sorry. I know Peldon is Peldon, and thus is the unstoppable Queen of Fug (second only to its Empress, Bai Ling and its mangy courtesan, Paris Hilton)... but I had to cast a protest vote against Fergie because of "My Humps," which was the fugliest thing I have ever heard. If bilateral convulsions of my tympanic membranes count as "hearing."
Posted by: drdan | Mar 27, 2008 9:32:34 AM
I think Peldon must've tie-dyed her sheets, cut some arm slits and then wrapped them around her. Crazy beyond words.
Posted by: AstroAnde | Mar 27, 2008 9:32:52 AM
I was all set to go Peldon, because some of Fergie's well-playeds (that is so not a word) have been really well played. I don't think Peldon has even one well-played, as evidenced by her website's gallery. I know most of her fug is a couple years old, but rather than seem embarrased by past indescretions, she appears proud of it.
Plus, Fergie's favorite accessory is a Duhamel rather than, say, a Doherty.
However, I found a picture of Fergie wearing some t-strap sandals with an ankle strap OVER a pair of TURQUOISE skinny jeans (or leggings; it's hard to tell). Also, she was wearing a hat I'm sure she stole from Boy George in 1985 (or wore on Kids Incorporated). It might we worse than LaMiller's sandals over jeans catastrophe. That's the clincher - Fergie for the win.
Posted by: Kristin 18 | Mar 27, 2008 9:33:00 AM
Those sleeves and crimped 'do took the cake, but now i know, BEYOND A SHADOW OF A DOUBT, that Peldon is effing with us and her fugnanigans are a ploy for attention.
In the end I had to give it up to Fugie Furg for keeping it sincere.
Posted by: no1really | Mar 27, 2008 9:33:25 AM
Mimsy, I'm not sure the public urination was indeed "accidental." For which reason, I have to vote Fergie.
Also: Fergie's hair is pretty consistently fug, while C.Peld's tresses can sometimes look pretty nice.
Posted by: KPod | Mar 27, 2008 9:33:54 AM
For me, it came down to which is worse--a nobody desperate for attention or a somebody desperate for attention? I voted for the Dutchess.
Posted by: Kristin | Mar 27, 2008 9:35:18 AM
I voted for Peldon strictly based on the fact that Peldon has never had a non-fug moment. Fergie has recently gotten better (but I'm not holding my breath) in recent months.
Posted by: Victoria | Mar 27, 2008 9:35:19 AM
Courtney's dress look like muscle with veins. Yuck. Reminds me of Body Worlds.
Posted by: Sarah | Mar 27, 2008 9:35:39 AM
I have to go with Fergie. Peldon seems sweetly misguided wheras F takes herself waaaaaaayyy too seriously thus suggesting she fugs with intent. Come on - this is the self-styled Dutchess!!!!! She even allies herself after one of the fugliest brands ever
Posted by: redshoes | Mar 27, 2008 9:35:55 AM
I know there is that sinking feeling that Courtney will actually be accoladed for her fugtrosities, and Fergie certainly gave her a run for the money, but you gotta hand it to Ms. P, she is consistently hideous. Who sews these rags? Are there demented mice and birds with an ancient Singer in her attic? I shake my head.
WHAT FUN!
Posted by: Cecily | Mar 27, 2008 9:36:59 AM
i believe Peldon is the, er, dark horse. i think she was seeded too low!
Posted by: Serlady | Mar 27, 2008 9:37:56 AM
Fergie. Come on people, let's send Peldon back down the drain of anonymity where she belongs. Besides, i want to see Fergie/Fugie face off with Paris.
Posted by: Jola | Mar 27, 2008 9:38:54 AM
La Peldon is simply insignificant in comparison to the Dutchess. She indeed wears some terrible clothes but she has nothing on the meth-faced trannie hot mess that is Fergie.
Posted by: Stitch | Mar 27, 2008 9:39:57 AM
Of course, I voted for The Queen of All Fug, Courtney Peldon. This is because I'm almost certain I've seen Fergie in a cotton item at least once, but C-Peld has never been spotted in a non-synthetic fabric. Ever. All of her clothes are shiny.
PELDON! PELDON! PELDON! She is indeed the little fug who could (tm Robin).
Posted by: Catherine | Mar 27, 2008 9:40:33 AM
It's Peldon all the way, folks!
I agree with Meredith up there someplace.
I feel like a lot of Fergie's bizarre attire can be attributed to 'stage clothes', where Peldon is just batshit fugly.
Posted by: Meh_Whatever | Mar 27, 2008 9:40:58 AM
Fergie's awesome voice gives her a free pass on most of the nuttier things she wears. Peldon just baffles.
Posted by: sandy | Mar 27, 2008 9:41:31 AM
Fergie. from her name on down, she's a pale shadow. I bet Gwen Stefani could rock the same outfit that Ferg is wearing. Peldon? Never heard of her, except here. She's bats. Fergie is fug.
Posted by: somehow | Mar 27, 2008 9:41:39 AM
Peldon because she hasn't earned a 'well-played'. Simple as that. Costumes do not equal formal wear.
Posted by: mrs o | Mar 27, 2008 9:42:31 AM
Oh my- it has to be La Peldon on the strength of that heinous dress alone . . .
Posted by: Di | Mar 27, 2008 9:42:31 AM
i'm going with Peldon. they're both fashion victims, but at least Fergie is more often a victim of current trends (plus she actually PERFORMS which partially excuses the costumy-ness), while Peldie's sickening amalgam of 80s and 90s beachwear-inspired clown outfits have not the remotest relevance to current fashion or what she does. wait a minute...what DOES she do? furthermore, i've seen Fergie in some nice high-fashiony stuff from time to time, but when Peldon tones it down, she tones it all the way down to Ann Taylor office manager drag.
Posted by: anner | Mar 27, 2008 9:42:35 AM
How many times a day do you think Peldon is voting for herself.
Posted by: Bella | Mar 27, 2008 9:43:34 AM
Peldon all the way for me. I mean, she's an ACTUAL vegetable. Fergie still manages to look human for me, though an extremely...scarily-dressed one. Peldon just needs dressing and she'd be salad of the day.
Posted by: eye of the befugger | Mar 27, 2008 9:43:37 AM
I have to go with The Peldon. Fergie has that adorable red number to mitigate some of the fug (and Josh Duhamel--never underestimate the power of a hot accessory) and The Peldon....does not.
Plus, I think Fergie secretly knows she looks ridiculous and again, The Peldon does not.
Posted by: Kimberly | Mar 27, 2008 9:43:38 AM
Peldon wins because she means it. When Fergie dresses like that I kind of get the impression she's going "Yeah I dress weird WHAT OF IT??" but with Peldon it's like "This is cute right? I thought so."
Posted by: Lilly | Mar 27, 2008 9:46:17 AM
intentional fug or accidental fug??? or are there really no accidents when it comes to fug?
if that's the case, then peldon gets it for making this her thing.
Posted by: km | Mar 27, 2008 9:46:54 AM
Who is Courtney Peldon, anyway? Fergie Fugalicious takes this hands down.
Posted by: Melinda | Mar 27, 2008 9:46:57 AM
Ferg the Fug. I'm guessing that Ferg has a stylist and STILL dresses horrifically. Peldon suffers from a lack of a stylist and really really bad taste.
Posted by: oakley | Mar 27, 2008 9:46:57 AM
I voted for Peldon, simply because of that one photo. With the purple-clydesdale-esque ... sleeves? I mean, Fergie was on crystal meth for a while, so can she really be blamed for all of those outfits? And, as someone up above pointed out, theyr'e likely costumes, rather than outfits.
Posted by: Jess | Mar 27, 2008 9:47:13 AM
As a UK reader, I wish I knew what Courtney Peldon does when she's not appearing on these hallowed pages, but maybe context would only diminish the fug. Fergie Ferg at least has a professional reason to dress up in lederhosen (and presumably a professional dressing her) whereas, as far as I can see anyway, the Peldonette does it for love alone.
And perhaps some attention.
Maybe a lot of attention. Anyway, it's her all the way for me.
Posted by: Hester | Mar 27, 2008 9:47:19 AM
A Peldon-Ling extravaganza!
I went over the body of work of both Fuggers and when I saw the pic of Peldon-Ling together, I KNEW it was a sign!
Posted by: KatyMay | Mar 27, 2008 9:47:33 AM
DrDan -- I prefer to consider Bai Ling our Dark Mistress of Fug, but I'm stealing "Mangy Courtesan of Fug" for Paris. Nice one!
Posted by: Miss V | Mar 27, 2008 9:48:29 AM
I'm sorry, lovers of the Ferg Fug, but I had to vote for the Peldon. As much as I loved wee little Stacy Ferguson of KIDS, Inc. and the insane mess she grew to become, Fergie Ferg has been cleaning her act up quite a bit as of late, and, well, let's be honest, La Peldon is never ever going to dress un-fug. EVER.
Posted by: Rachelle | Mar 27, 2008 9:49:43 AM
oh, and i just noticed that the peldon is wearing this atrocity, apparently, at the WHITE CHICKS movie premier...isn't that enough?
Posted by: km | Mar 27, 2008 9:49:59 AM
La Peldon's like the Little Fugger who Could. I love it.
Posted by: Robin | Mar 27, 2008 9:50:10 AM
This is an impossibly hard decision. I LOL'd at Sarah's comment that C Peldon's dress reminded her of Body Worlds. Too true. In the end I had to go for C Peldon 'cos I'd love to see her go head to head with Bai Ling!
Posted by: semcc | Mar 27, 2008 9:50:22 AM
Is this Peldon Major's homage to radichio lettuce? Because I think I ate that dress last night.
I voted Fergalicious, which was a tough call to make, but is based primarily on how much mainstream media exposure Ferg's fugly outfits have got. She's influencing young minds into thinking that dressing fug is a good career move.
Please won't somebody think of the children?
Posted by: Jen C-B | Mar 27, 2008 9:51:58 AM
I'm not sure but isn't Fergie one of the Four Horsemen of the apocalypse? You know Death, Famine, War, Fergie.
Posted by: Markus | Mar 27, 2008 9:52:49 AM
Good Lord, Peldon! Fug o RAMA!
Posted by: Laci | Mar 27, 2008 9:53:31 AM
My Eyes! My Eyes! Peldon's dress is the most fugtasticly heinous thing I've ever SEEN. I voted for her instead of Fugie because the Ferg has that punk thing going on....like a persona, so more performance than just going out somewhere dressed like a nut.
Posted by: April | Mar 27, 2008 9:56:05 AM
I have to vote for Fergie. Her fug offends on an almost daily basis, but I have no idea who Peldon is and thus never have to see her!
Also, I have a feeling Peldon is dressing this way just to get attention. Somebody needs to teach her that not all publicity is good publicity!
Posted by: Kaitlin | Mar 27, 2008 9:56:49 AM
I voted for Fergie simply because I can't stand the idea of Peldon winning ANYTHING. Even this.
Posted by: Kristy | Mar 27, 2008 9:57:45 AM
Ok, solely on the merits this is a tough one, but I agree with a prior commenter that true fug requires that you be famous for something other than fugging around ...
Posted by: jen | Mar 27, 2008 9:58:52 AM
Fergie is fugly clear to the bone!
Posted by: KT | Mar 27, 2008 9:58:57 AM
This is such a difficult fug-off. I could see this as the champion match, honestly. I've only seen both of them in fug. I will vote Peldon because she's not even in movies or on stage. Therefore, she doesnt even have an excuse to fug around. Ill say Peldon. Damn thats a tough one!
Posted by: Sabrina | Mar 27, 2008 10:00:42 AM
I had to go peldon on this. Maybe its my soft spot for Kids Incorporated, but I can look at Fergie's outfits and shake my head....but Peldon? I cant even look at Peldon. So, she gets the vote. Talented or not.
Posted by: lipstickface | Mar 27, 2008 10:00:43 AM
Okay, first, that's not cabbage. It's RADICCHIO people. Let's get our vegetative dresses right now.
As for this one, again, it's no contest. It will be no contest until Peldon goes up against PP to take the whole thing. Fergie dresses slut-fug for attention on stage. She generally seems to wear sweats it seems when caught unawares. I'm not sure Peldon would know sweats if they hit her between the eyes. I'm also having the same feeling about her and style.
Posted by: pippa | Mar 27, 2008 10:00:46 AM
honestly. i was going to vote for fergie, but that peldon completely took me by surprise. i was stunned into submission.
Posted by: jessm | Mar 27, 2008 10:00:47 AM
Fergie has enough fame and money to know better, thus, her Fug reigns.
Posted by: kana | Mar 27, 2008 10:00:56 AM
I had to go with Pelds. How can you fug a human Speak and Spell?
Posted by: David | Mar 27, 2008 10:01:38 AM
They both are awful. At least Fergie can sing. Peldon can. . .wait, what is her talent?
Posted by: Bee | Mar 27, 2008 10:01:55 AM
Oh, that was so difficult! I went for Fergie in the end, but I'm still not sure why :S Can't I choose both? :P
Posted by: Lucia | Mar 27, 2008 10:03:12 AM
Peldon. I don't know who half the people are on this thing anyway, so who cares if this is her only claim to fame.
Posted by: Cheryl | Mar 27, 2008 10:04:46 AM
I went for Fergie, because she not only wears horrible things, she then proceeds to PEE ON THEM.
Posted by: Rebecca | Mar 27, 2008 10:06:13 AM
Plaid skirt and argyle socks? even if that's supposed to be a "costume" that's sick and wrong on so many levels. Please, think of the children who idolize Ferg and may therefore desire to fug themselves!
Posted by: Susan | Mar 27, 2008 10:07:36 AM
You know, I thought this was going to be a tough one, but then I looked at Peldon's "body of work". Her choices are either horrendous or totally pathetic, but looking at her, that half-petrified look in her eyes - she comes off as really dumb. So I sort of feel sorry for her. Although her radicchio little number shown here is mind-blowing, I think Fugie is the epitome of fug.
Posted by: qq | Mar 27, 2008 10:07:37 AM
I think the fact that Fergie is usually dressed batshit on stage or as part of her pop-funk day job buys her a lot of get out of fug free. Peldon has no frackin' excuse. She has sprayed her scent all over that Queen of Fug throne - give the girl a tiara! She is truly committed to the cause.
Posted by: Judgeofug | Mar 27, 2008 10:08:13 AM
Wow. Where does Peldon get her clothes? Does she seriously wear stuff like that all the time? Even to run simple errands? Why does she always look so happy in the pictures? Does she honestly think that she looks good? Fergie didn't even stand a chance against her since I think Fergies main problem is that she just dresses like a teen tramp who spends all of her allowance at Forever 21.
Posted by: Athena | Mar 27, 2008 10:09:18 AM
The problem is Cpeld isn't important enough to merit any well playeds. We only ever see her looking awful because frankly, unless she's out and about dressed like a crack head on E, nobody cares. Fergie is well known enough to get credit where it's due. It's just that it's almost never due. Gotta go with Fergie as most heinous here.
Posted by: Liz | Mar 27, 2008 10:10:36 AM
Is that a tie dyed formal gown on Peldon? It was a tough call, but I went with Peldon, because I believe she's choosing to wear all these horrific outfits. I agree with the poster who said that Fergie's outfits look more like stage costumes!
Posted by: Drie | Mar 27, 2008 10:12:03 AM
holy crap. is it possible that the 16th seed play-in could win the whole thing? was there a fundamental mix up in the original rankings? my god! i have peldon vs bai ling in the final and i thought i was sure who would win but now.....nail biter.
Posted by: sophia | Mar 27, 2008 10:12:41 AM
I DO understand all the Peldon voters out there, she is absolutely crazy. But my vote is for Fergie-Ferg. Miss F's style is more prominent. If it wasn't for this website I wouldn't even know who the Peldon's are. Everyone has seen Fergie and her disastrous choices, plus SHE PEED HERSELF onstage.

I admit, I was wavering on this one, purely because of my distaste for the dragalicous mess that is the peeing Pea I love to hate.
However...I literally burst out laughing at that picture of La Peldon. Those should be made her official robes when she is crowned High Priestess of Fug.
Posted by: Patrick | Mar 27, 2008 10:31:02 AM
This is one of the hardest choice I had to make in like 2 years!
Posted by: Joey | Mar 27, 2008 10:33:03 AM
I was of the impression that the fugliness we were to be evaluating was that of the wardrobe choices and overall appearances of the individuals in question, not a debate on their relative character merits or their relative making-it-to-the-bathroom-on-time skills or their relative tendencies to spell things, correctly or otherwise. Therefore I have to go with Miz Peldon. While Fergie may well be a complete waste of time as a human being, she simply does not dress outlandishly badly enough to compete further in this race. (Also, she has recently been showing signs of an upswing, which I'd hate to have a part in discouraging. Peldon, as far as I know, continues to out-fug her sister and herself.)

Peldon is the Patron Saint of Fug. That she is a 16 seed is a joke, and she deserves the infamy that her fug has earned her. PELDON FOR THE FINAL FOUR!
Posted by: Joshua | Mar 27, 2008 10:34:09 AM
oh god, i own those socks.
anyway, i'm hoping peldon takes it all!
Posted by: shelly | Mar 27, 2008 10:34:27 AM
This was the hardest choice, but I went with the Ferg. Peldon seems so innocent and misguided. And while many of Ferg's outfits are costumes, can't costumes be pretty? Can't they?
Posted by: Mel | Mar 27, 2008 10:34:34 AM
I had to go with Fergie on this one. I just think she has an inherent fug to her that Peldon lacks. Like if you were to touch her, she'd be sticky.
Posted by: Grace | Mar 27, 2008 10:40:16 AM
Ok. So reading the comments I am getting the idea that the definition of True Fug is up for debate. Some people think you have to be famous for a reason to be a True Fugger. Some people don't.
Sure, you don't want to reward the Phoebe Prices of the world. But is winning a fugging March Madness tournament a reward? Is it fuglier to (ostensibly) have legitimate talent but hide it under a bushel of fug? Or is it more deeply fugly to be known only for the magnitude of one's fugliness? The bottom line is that you could read this either way, from an ethical standpoint.
So I say, just vote on the visuals. There's something about the vacant-eyed, slack-jawed fug mastery that is Courtney Peldon that is of such primal fugness that it cannot be trounced. I tip my rhinestone encrusted and be-feathered fedora to the matchless sincerity of her fug.
Posted by: Aardvark | Mar 27, 2008 10:46:00 AM
All Fergies fugly stuff is like 3 years old, one of those pics was from 2004!
Peldon all the way, Fergie really cleaned herself up the end of 07 and has been maintening it
Posted by: lambman | Mar 27, 2008 10:51:04 AM
That is a stunning ode to radicchio Peldon is sporting up there. Seriously, just in this Fug Madness, some of Fergie's photos are already being recycled, while the Peldon Train of Fug Just. Keeps. Rolling.
Also, Fergie has, of late, pulled herself together into something resembling human, while CP shows no sign of turning away from the fug.
Viva La Peldon!
Posted by: Betsy | Mar 27, 2008 10:53:32 AM
For those that say Ferg is only 'stage-dressing', I'd have to reply, nope. She always looks like that. Once in a Bah-loo Moon, a stylist puts her in something classy, but the rest of the time, I'm sure she's dressing herself. The Peldon, who knows what she looks like off the red carpet? It's Ferg all the way on this one.
Posted by: tigerstripes | Mar 27, 2008 10:54:51 AM
I thought Ferg would win this one because, well, she's Ferg. BUT she's earned a "well-played" in the last year so that's how I'm gonna make all the tough calls this round....that means Psquared over Bai Ling unless personality #37 decides to make an apearance in the next couple of days....is it sick that I hope that happens?
Posted by: lemniscus | Mar 27, 2008 11:02:08 AM
C'mon people, let's not give someone who does nothing but seek publicity more publicity, and free at that. Peldon does not deserve it and her desire to be nothing but the Fugliest one of all is pathetic. Fergie, on the other hand, has the money and the staff to dress/look better, yet always manages to fug it up.
Posted by: nancy | Mar 27, 2008 11:04:00 AM
Ferg's fug can sometimes be written off as performance gear...a costume, if you will. I mean, I once saw Erasure in concert where Andy Bell came out in a black leotard and tutu (which he ditched later for a red satin waistcoat with floor length tails). My point is, it was for the stage. Although maybe he would wear it on the street or at Rage, or even while picking up a gallon of milk at Mayfair Market, who knows....I digress.
Where was I? Oh yeah.....PELDON! Oh fer chrissakes! She's horrid!
She is clearly the genuine fug in this contest!
Posted by: Missie | Mar 27, 2008 11:04:20 AM
Let me begin by stating plainly that I do not care for Fergie AT ALL. Not only because she has changed the way we all think of the gorgeous Josh Duhamel... but mostly because of the interaction of two crucial traits she posseses: her undying insistence on SPELLING EVERYTHING, as well as her obvious passion for committing extreme acts of fuggery, all the time.
While this Peldon is quite interesting (although I can't say that I have a clue why she or the other Peldon are famous)... I cannot help but think she is just f-ing with us. Seriously.
With that said, FUGGIE FERG earns my vote.

Posted by: Paris | Mar 27, 2008 11:16:25 AM
This is the toughest call in the sweet 16. That was one of Fergie's more outrageous fugs. I'm going to have to go Peldon again, due to Fergie's recent unfuggings on this site. Peldon cleans up a little sometimes but she never manages to get it quite right; she can still do spectacularly wrong with a vengance.
Posted by: Kris | Mar 27, 2008 11:19:19 AM
Wait, what does Peldon do again?
Posted by: demondoll | Mar 27, 2008 11:20:10 AM
Tooo hard! But I'm taking another commenter's comment to heart: Fergie seems to have a whiff of the costumed about her, while Peldon just seems to be full throttle fugging it.
Posted by: Deanna | Mar 27, 2008 11:20:40 AM
Peldon, hands down. Although, Fergie Ferg does come equipt with pee stains....huh.
Posted by: jessica | Mar 27, 2008 11:22:26 AM
At least Fergi's is worn as a costume on stage. Courtney wearing that thing to a real red carpet event.
Posted by: Katie | Mar 27, 2008 11:27:37 AM
Why did Peldon make sleeves out of red cabbage? What the Fug? She got my vote just for that. I completely disregarded Fergie's desperate plea to be the Depends spokeswoman.
Posted by: Elisabetta | Mar 27, 2008 11:29:22 AM
This match has been weighing on my mind so much that I had to log into another computer at work to cast a vote for Peldon.
So I've now voted for both of them, and that feels right somehow.
Posted by: Jen C-B | Mar 27, 2008 11:31:23 AM
Ferg does appear that way on red carpets, and has her face to boot. Peldon at least has an inoffensive face...

"All Fergies fugly stuff is like 3 years old, one of those pics was from 2004!"
Just FYI, almost every Peldon pic is from 2003-2005.
Posted by: Heather | Mar 27, 2008 11:34:17 AM
I kind of get it with Fergie Ferg (even though she's totally fug). She's in a hip hop group and has to convey she's a hip hop girl by the way she dresses. It's a part of her celebrity, if you will. But Peldon has no reason what so ever to dress the way she does! So she gets my vote on that alone!
Posted by: Sugartooth | Mar 27, 2008 11:36:00 AM
I wish I could be there when someone (manicurist? Botoxer? supermarket checkout girl?) tells Peldon that she is about to get into the final 8 of Fug Madness. I bet she doesn't know what that means, who Heather and Jessica are (no offense), and how anyone could possibly fault her delightful wardrobe choices even though they never result in a job.
Can you just imagine how crushed she would be? Almost makes me regret voting for her. But having her win a few rounds may just educate her and get a least one of these nuts to stop assaulting our senses.
Posted by: Debbi | Mar 27, 2008 11:41:48 AM
Fergie did put on a good show with her tribute to Harry Potter and her need to be an heir to the Crown. But since Peldon obviously means fug in another language I had to give it to Court.

I don't think Peldon deserves the fame that garnering the Fug Madness crown would bring. Fergie's worked hard to pull herself out of a Meth addiction into a wardrobe that gives us all something to talk about. She's the All-Fugmerican Dream.

You guys are cracking me up. "Mangy courtesan" BWAH!!
Fergie's fug is undeniable- plus, anyone who misspells the title of her own album deserves all the fug she can fugging fug, but Peldon clearly shops in the "misses" section of Frederick's of Hollywood. That dress is Blanche Devereaux's favorite peignoir. You can tell by the cheesecake smear on the hem.

Fergie always seems so satisfied with herself and these ridiculous outfits she sports. She really seems to think she looks good.
I get the impression that Peldon is just silly girl trying to get a little bit of attention.
I say that fug in earnest is far worse than a little silliness. So it's Fergie (and her lady lumps) all the way for me.

Peldon looks like Galadriel's acid-addicted-shunned-from-the-land-of-elves cousin or something in that photo. And she's had way too many fugs to not win. Peldon = Fug! It's simple math.
And though Fergie does have innumerable things wrong with her, who doesn't want a cape and tiara? Exactly!
Posted by: Gabby | Mar 27, 2008 1:05:47 PM

Posted by: Mandy | Mar 27, 2008 1:17:45 PM

She's carrying a scepter. A sure sign that Fergie is Fug Royalty. Though, come to think of it, that means she knows how to accessorize so yup, Peldon it is!
Posted by: cvv | Mar 27, 2008 1:24:26 PM
Fergie is more vulgar than Peldon, who is just straight up crazy but in a somewhat more ladylike manner? On t'other hand, Fergie is talented, and so pretty, and who wouldn't sell her own grandmother for a nickel, to have such a bod as hers, and I totally felt so sorry for her after the pee-tastrophe.
So I went and looked at the pictures again ... the decision was clear. Even my four-year-old niece would refuse to wear clothes as ridiculous as the Peldon's.

Miss Peldon has carved herself a notch in celebri-dom out of sheer grit and fdetermination. The P has made a name for herself simply by showing up sporting an astounding array of outfits. That girl is totally determined to be remembered. In my mind, The Peldon is the Queen of the Famous for Nothing Crowd. After all, she had no name (Hilton) to draw attention to herself in the first place, no stage parents (Lohan, Simpson)to pimp her out, no bouts with rehab, and no discernible talent that I know of. No, she climbed this ladder completely on her own. She's the Queen of Fug in the flesh.
Posted by: Ack! | Mar 27, 2008 1:58:49 PM
It does seem unfair to pit anyone against Peldon. She almost shouldn't have been included until the very end. It could have been like fighting the big boss Koopa in Mario Bro's.

That was so difficult. Both fug it up in ways that are unreal but in the end I had to go with Fergie Fug. Fergie gets more action than Peldon so more are witness to her fug. But Peldon is so scrappy. I see the writing on the wall and it says "Peldon". Fergie is a man who tries so hard to be a woman and she pees herself. If that ain't fug I don't know what is.
Peldon has good game though and I do believe she will take it all. Fergie maybe more fug (she gets my vote) than Peldon but it seems no one takes out the Patron Saint of Fug. God is truly on Peldon's side.

Peldon has good game though and I do believe she will take it all. Fergie maybe more fug (she gets my vote) than Peldon but it seems no one takes out the Patron Saint of Fug. God is truly on Peldon's side.

Miss Peldon has carved herself a notch in celebri-hood out of sheer grit and determination. The P has made a name for herself simply by showing up sporting an astounding array of outfits. That girl is totally determined to be remembered. In my mind, The Peldon is the Queen of the Famous for Nothing Crowd. After all, she had no name (Hilton) to draw attention to herself in the first place, no stage parents (Lohan, Simpson)to pimp her out, no bouts with rehab, and no discernible talent that I know of. No, she climbed this ladder completely on her own. She's the Queen of Fug in the flesh.

"Ok. So reading the comments I am getting the idea that the definition of True Fug is up for debate."
Aardvark, I was also going to comment that there seems to be an existential debate on what is true fug. (A fugsistential debate?) Your questions have been weighing on my mind as well: "But is winning a fugging March Madness tournament a reward?"
I think you came up with the right conclusion: vote on the visuals. Courtney's fug might be just to keep our attention, but it's worked. Her fug wins this round.

for us non-americans; who IS this Peldon-character? And why is she even being photographed?

Sorry Ferg...those two times you showed up looking fabulous made me vote for the PelFUGdon...who has yet to show up to anything looking any way but FUG!
Posted by: Laura | Mar 27, 2008 2:33:42 PM
Wow. Could you make this a more painful decision? On the one hand, you have a girl who is so desperate for attention and fame that she'll wear anything to any red carpet out there and needs to get a real job. On the other hand, you have a girl who is already famous, has the money for a good stylist, but chose to hire Stevie Wonder. In the interests of not giving La Peldon any more attention than she already doesn't deserve, (and mostly because I counted "My Humps" and "G-L-A-M-O-R-O-U-S" among Fergie's body of work here) Fergie takes it. But not by much, really.

Wow. And i thought P-squared vs. P-skank was hard. Here, you have one girl who is so desperate for attention and fame that she'd wear anything tacky and eye-catching to a red carpet put anywhere. Yet, on the other hand, you have a girl who is already famous, can afford a decent stylist, but walks on the red carpet looking like she's paying Stevie Wonder for the job. It really came close here, but because La Peldon really doesn't deserve the attention, (and because I counted "My Humps" and "G-L-A-M-O-R-O-U-S" among the bodies of work being sorted through) Fergie takes this one.

Courtney, my little princess of fug, I'm so glad you're making a mockery of that 16 seed! For those who have compared her to Phoebe, I don't see them in the same light at all. Phoebe is a talentless (well, maybe she does actually have a talent for something like shelling peas or knitting macrame plantholders, but for nothing that should entail red carpets and paparazzi), shameless, and tacky, whereas Courtney is sweetly clueless. Holding up a "celebrity" mag with your own pic in it is not the same as holding up a birthday cake with your bikini-clad image in the frosting. One is nauseating and the other is bizarre, of course, but also endearing...at least to me. Plus, there's the rogue Crispin Factor. Peldon, March Madness Final Four is your density!!

But Fergie's been getting much better lately. It hasn't been the same atrocious fug. Peldon, well, she's a lost cause.
Posted by: April | Mar 27, 2008 2:49:32 PM
THIS WAS HARD. But after careful research through the archival footage, and extensive deliberation, it came down to La Peldon. It wasn't the shiny forehead, or the garish colours (although it was almost that sweater she wore to her perfume launch). No, in the end, it came down to her life choices. Anyone who has chosen to enamour herself of both Jason Davis AND Crispin Glover deserves the Fug Championship.

Pissing your pants in front of 7,000+ people and not doing a damn thing about is vile, VILE!! I say. Fergie should take this in a walk.

Heather & Jessica... I'm loving this Fug Madness! I'm now addicted to the GFY site, thank you very much. My severance pay will be spent to continue home internet service...
But where oh where is the Madonna bracket Beyonce V. JLo fug-off?
I feel like a crack addict. Er, how a crack addict must feel.

how come peldon is winning? fuggie fug should pass this round. she's way fugger, in every sense.
Posted by: maxi | Mar 27, 2008 3:10:26 PM
Personally - I believe The Dutchess, being a Dutchess and all, has a stylist that drugs her into believing that this clothes is 'cutting edge' and 'performance worthy' and therefore can not be entirely blamed for her fug...whereas this other person of whom I have NO concept of (really - does she even have a Wikipedia entry??) I believe picks out her own disasters. There is no excuse for that.

Come on, it's gotta be Fergie!!! You've gotta weigh the respective fug: Peldon is great but almost exists strictly for our sake - the readership of this site. Does anyone else know who she is?? She's deserved her wins so far, I think, but Fergie's visibility makes her fug more pervasive, more of an offense, more deserving of advancement to the Final Four.

Peldon looks like a flying rasher fairy! Please let her win!

Fergie Ferg is fug, but Peldon is the patron saint of fug.

Fergie, all the way. She has what it takes to win this. From the bizarrely tight, orange skin to the insanely whackadoo hair, to the random peeing on her too short, too high-waisted shorts to the... well, you get it. Bizarrely, insanely random. And whackadoo.
Courtney is practically a bastion of normalcy in comparison.

The thing about Peldon is this: She looks like a sweet little thing from Kansas who had two watermelons attached to her ribcage. She also looks like she owns a bedazzler and along with her sister, it looks like she uses it. I seriously doubt that the Peldon PR machine has enough money to even CALL a fashion consultant, and we all know that Fergie is probably dressed by some skinny, icky, expensive non-eating loser. I can just imagine Fergie getting emailed a daily "what to wear today" from her fashion consultant, and on the other side, Courtney goes into the mirrored closet doors in her condo she shares with Brown in Reseda and thinks...wait, if I wear those pink Payless vinyl boots with that dress from Marshalls, it would looks really cute...oh wait, I'll just add a couple of butterflies and cut a couple of peek a boo watermelon revealers. Peldon by a mile.

Well, damn. That little Peldon is no joke.
Posted by: Krys | Mar 27, 2008 4:29:05 PM
Fregie all the way. She has what it takes to win the whole thing. She's in costume even when she's not on stage. She's like Bobby Trendy meets Cher meets My Pretty Pony. Bizarrely tight, orange skin. Whackadoo hairstyles. Random piercings. Shiny, pink, plaid and camoflage, sometimes all at once. Formal leiderhosen. PEEING!

Come on! Fergie manages to make herself look like a) a man and b) fat, even when we know she's neither. That is true fug.
Posted by: Livia | Mar 27, 2008 4:48:21 PM
So. Much. Fug. Aaahh! This is only the Sweet 16 and it's already so hard to choose! I had to give it to Peldon though. I mean, come on, it's PELDON. I understand the argument that she isn't famous for any other reason and is therefore not worthy of the crown. But on the other hand, consider that her fug is so great that thousands of complete strangers are discussing it for their own amusement, down to knowing specific pieces of her wardrobe from memory. That is true fug power. Plus the hot pink veiny radicchio gown totally clinches it. WITH CRIMPED HAIR.
