Fashion Faux Pas: From Paris to Carrot
It's a beautiful Friday, so the last thing you probably want to do is labor over a Friday List submission or parse Jamie Foxx's admission that he likes "thick" women.
Instead, we close out the week with photos of two people who have more in common that one might initially realize: Paris Hilton and Carrot Top.
Think about it. They're both annoying, they've both coasted way too far on a scant amount of talent and -- as we see in the photos below -- they're both guilty of fashion transgressions.
Hilton wore this blinged-out dress -- complete with her ever-present headband -- to the amfAR Cinema Against AIDS 2009 Cocktail Party in Cannes. Someone needs to remind Paris about the "take one thing off before leaving the house" rule. Or maybe five things:

Carrot Top, a 44-year-old man masquerading as a pumped up teenager, chose this decidedly casual look to wear to a memorial service for recently deceased comedian Danny Gans. Way to rock the inappropriate look, Carrot. Now get back under that rock. (Even Criss Angel, next to Carrot, was wise enough to tone down his usual Hot Topic meets Mystery Method look.)

As for the rest of you, happy long weekend!

Great Paris is now channeling Ophelia. Something is rotten in Denmark.

So THAT'S what happens when you store your BeDazzler too close to your ammo belt...
Carrot Top, you've been outclassed by Criss Angel. You are officially irrelevant. Go away.

Paris has looked worse. She actually has a nice face, but it's the stick-thin arms (something she should've actually covered) that scare me.
Yahoo Serious, er, I mean, Carrot Top looks bad. And would it have been so hard to put on a jacket before attending a memorial service?

Everyone knows you can't have a gun show if the guns are covered by long sleeves.

I think they should hook up. Then we could call them "Parrot".

Everything about Carrot Top is a contradiction. The wacky, unkempt hair paired with the perfectly manicured eyebrows. The grubby wardrobe paired with the fit body. The title of "Comedian" paired with the fact he is not funny in the least.

Possum, you are too funny!
And her skin matches his hair - they'd be perfect together.

Does she turn her head that way to hide the wonky eye?

Didn't someone propose a couple name Friday list project a few days ago. If so possum, you won the prize!
And Nosy, if you are wondering if Paris behaved, ck the link on the morning mix. She of course, did not. (have brain bleach ready)

Jimmy Buffet fans are not amused.

Perhaps the sports people can dissect Carrot Top's liking for steroids.

Thanks hodie, uh, I think (at least you well-warned me re the need for brain bleach). The way Paris' headband appears to have slipped down onto her forehead, I wonder if she was trying to channel those reckless Fitzgerald females on the Riviera in the 20s.

Imagine how long it would take Carrot Top to dislodge from Paris' throwing star bling from his weave if he happened to brush up against her.

Paris looks like a blinged-out statue of liberty.

To their credit, Paris Hilton was going to an amfAR event (where over-the-top dress may well be de rigueur), while Carrot Top was at the memorial service for a colleague. It could've been worse: at least they were both attending admirable events. My only real concern is whether each behaved appropriately.
