The Awful Truth

Crockett/Tubbs/Flynet

Tara Reid was lunching with her girlfriends in Miami the other day and just happened to use her hands, all animatedly and such. And there appeared to be a pink dog turd surrounded by rhinestones on her ring finger.

Perhaps the first question should be: Would you say "yes" to anyone who proposed with that gaudy-awful thing?

Although we're skeptical that it is indeed an engagement ring, we put in calls to Tara's reps—but have yet to hear back. Supposedly some posh lunchers behind Reid overheard the once-doable blonde talking about her supposed engagement to billionaire boyfriend Michael Axtmann.

We're chalking this one up to Tara dying for a wee bit of publicity. And looks like we're giving it to her, so the joke's on us.

What do you think: Do diamonds flatter Miss (or soon to be Mrs.) Reid?

OK, after our pals over at Watch With Kristin confirmed James Franco was indeed set to appear in the daytime soap General Hospital, we were all for this countercasting.

It's a ballsy move for a Golden Globe winner to backtrack, but this is the kinda actor who really loves his craft, ya know?

After seeing these shots of James on the set of G.H., though, we're so disappointed! Aren't soap operas about crazy overly dramatic plots with...uh, lots of sex? Where's shirtless James Franco?

Obviously J.F. looks doable in the dark suit, but come on. This is his red carpet look. We'd tune in to this daytime soap to see a new side of James. And a nearly naked, or at least more sexily outfitted, side wouldn't hurt, either. Calling Dr. Jimmy Feel-Good, already!

But would you call in sick just to catch this dude in daytime duds?

It's no shock we find John Mayer to be, well, kinda gross. Thought clearly we're the minority because Mayer pulls tons of chicks.

Here's J.M. performing Down Undah in Sydney (there are too many obvious dirty entendres we'll bypass here), and instead of his usual O face, he's trying out a softer come-hither face.

Clearly Mayer is doing something right because, despite the fact friends say John wants to be single right now, Jen Aniston's ex can get his just fine.

Please, A.T. readers, fill us in on what we're missing. Is it the sensitive guitarist, rocker thing? The unconventional yet kinda sexy looks? We get the bad-boy appeal—but really, we'd do Russell Brand over Mayer, for sure.

So help us out. Are we missing the Mayercraft here? Or are you all over John, too?

Preggers Gisele Bündchen oozed runway hotness by simply walking down the street in Boston—and she still has two months two go before she delivers!

Whoever said pregnant women can't look good and slack off while incubating is totally and incorrigibly wrong.

With her stylish jeans, chic scarf and big peak o' cleavage, Leo's ex (think he's cryin' about now?) looks like she's conquering Paris' best bitch fashion quarters, already.

You know, Heidi's hot pregs, but there's something about Gisele that just makes her look like she's still dressing to kill, real fierce nascent mama stuff, don't you think?

Robert Pattinson might have that wall of dreamy hair, and all you Robstenites can't stop complaining about Bella's damn wig covering up Kristen Stewart's mullet. The whole Twi crew should have their own coif channel on mystyle.com, no?

But there's another New Moon babe whose hair is making news.

Ashley Greene hit up the Parlour on 3rd in Los Angeles on Sunday for nine friggin' hours to get extensions. If you're a longtime Ash fan, you know she had way long locks before she had to get it cut for her Twilight character. Now that Eclipse has just finished filming, looks like Greene's ready to throw away the pixie cut for a while and try something a bit more dramatic.

We think Ash looks totally fab with long or short hair—heck, babe could be bald and still be doable, which is more than we can say for some of the celebs in our new Would You Do...? gallery.

We've rounded up some of H'wood's best and blahest from Team Awful's most recent Do-Me Meters to pose the simple Q: Would you do them? We've got stars showcasing some totally blech fashion choices, untaut bods or just gross personalities mixed in with some surprisingly sexy celebs.

Former Spice Girl Mel B. is in the house and makin' Eddie Murphy's escape look like it may have been about the safety of his body parts!

Maybe Eddie—cad that he was to leave Mel that way—was tired of getting his ol' bod bruised every time he gave her some sugar. That's some serious artillery there. (But then I am a gay man and I haven't had sex with a woman since Kirstie Alley was thin, so what do I know?)

Interesting that Ms. Mel paraded these water balloons at the London premiere of Dead Man Running, because I'd be fleeing from her, too!

Now I'm all for some classy, put-on cleavage. Miley already knows how to strut it, Madonna's been doing it for centuries, but the Scary Spice stuff is just plain frightening.

But the dress is sexy, doll!

FYI: I wanna hear—really I do—when is too much cleavage too much?

See who else is taking their ta-tas out for a spin in Fashion Police!

With all of the celeb cameos—Penélope Cruz, Liza Minnelli and now Miley Cyrus—is there even going to be any damn plot in Sex and the City 2? Seriously, we're starting to get concerned this movie is going to be more about star power and less about our fave characters back on the big screen.

Most recently Kim Cattrall and Miley shot a red carpet scene together where they are caught wearing the same dress. Samantha (Kim's character for any of you living under a rock) has always tried to hold onto her youth, what with dating her gorgeous, much younger dude played by Jason Lewis, so we can only assume this scene is supposed to embarrass cougar-licious Sam for wearing the same thing a 16-year-old is.

Uh, but is anyone thinking of the flip side here?

If you're an avid A.T. reader, you know we adore George Clooney. Pretty sure he's in most of Team Awful's top fives.

But lately, the George has not been the age-defying god we fell in love with. Let us explain...

Hey, Katy "Purry"—no one's going to want to pet your so-out-there ta-tas when you look like a walking pedophile target, ya know? But I guess now since you're dating sexaholic Russell Brand, there's no need to at least try and look good when you go out in public.

Ms. Perry decided to "rock" this peculiar Muppet-covered dress in Paris, France, for Fashion Week, but instead of looking fab it looked like a toy chest exploded on her dress. 

We already heart ya, babe, you don't need to try to win us over with your Lady Gaga-esque cry for help. You got yourself an oddly desirable man; just because you don't need to hook a boyfriend anymore doesn't mean the effort needs to go out the window.

Girl, even in comparison to Holly Madison's sexual shrieks with her then-hookup buddy Brand, your dress screams louder (in a not exactly pleasurable way) than anything fun going on in Sin City. 

Let's try to stay away from getups that make you look like a 5-year-old, please? You're a gorg girl! I mean, really, especially with all this Roman Polanski crap breaking all around us (and all over again). Maybe ask bestie Rihanna for some tips? Might help. Just a suggestion, doll! You rock every other time!

OK—this whole Jon & Kate Plus Eight, minus Kate, now minus Jon business has us totally irked. We thought this douchebag would be way gone by now. But, like herpes, he keeps popping up all over the place in a quite annoying way.

Now Gosselin is making some bulls--t plea on Larry King saying he's had an epiphany (yeah, sure) and wants to be a better person. Oh really, is that why you're toying with your kid's emotional state by trying to stall your divorce?

We can't even keep up with the ridiculous stuff surrounding this obviously troubled guy, so let's go back to the basics, shall we?

We seriously didn't think Jake Gyllenhaal's campy costume for the upcoming Disney flick Prince of Persia: The Story of Jake's Pecs could get more guffaw-worthy (despite the pretty damn doable bod itself, minus overdone Fabio trappings), but then we saw J.G.'s Lego action figure. Sorry, folks, we don't even get a pint-size superhero-esque action figure of chiseled Gyllen-hon to play with, but this supercute and totally harmless plastic children's toy instead? And it pretty much captures the doability—or lack thereof—of present-day Jakey perfectly.

Oh no?

Whoa. Did somebody's not-painted-on manly abs just shoot him into a sexuality stratosphere usually reserved for the heart-stopping Robert Pattinson, aka Edward Cullen?

Uh, sure looks that way! First off, why is Taylor Lautner all of a sudden owning that hard-as-Nikki Reed frame of his? Dare we say Jacob, I mean, Taylor, and his totally bitchin' middle muscles make it clear...
