2009’s Worst Red Carpet Catastrophes

As we bid farewell to 2009, we’d like to take a moment to honor the year’s most atrocious red carpet fashion disasters. So many stars said “yes we can” to terrible outfits that it was hard to narrow down the group to just 9, but the celebrities below truly went above and beyond the call of duty doodie with these craptastic looks. From layers of lace, to body suits and booty shorts, we’ve got the best of the worst for your viewing pleasure. Enjoy!

1. Sharon Stone - Leather, Lacy And Oh-So Racy
2. Sandra Bullock - Rolled Out Of Bedhead
3. Leighton Meester - Blair’s Barfy Bikini Party Dress
4. Madonna - Sky-High Hair And Skank Boots
5. Gwyneth Paltrow -  Goopy’s Poopy Booty Shorts
6. Bai Ling - Bow-zo The Red Carpet Clown
7. Perez Hilton - Hand Paint N’ Hairy Legs
8. Amber Rose - Imma Let You Finish, But This Is The Worst Body Suit Of The Year
9. Holly Montag - Heidi’s Sister Turned Washed-Up Stripper

Sharon Stone reminded Tokyo of the sexy roles (or rather, parts) she’s famous for, slipping into some tiiiiiight pants to hawk her new line of Damiani jewelry at the Takashimaya department store. Of course, since this was a classy affair, she tossed a fur stole on top of everything. While not as baffling as Monday’s leather trenchcoat and lace dress ensemble, we’re still impressed with how she manages to make black-on-black look oh so wack.

We’ve found Carmen SanDiego! Oh wait, that’s Sharon Stone, engaging in sex-pionage on the red carpet at Elton John’s AIDS FoundationBenefit in NYC last night. Stone, honored for work to help AmFAR, posed with John and Mayor Mike Bloomberg, who didn’t look like he shared her antipathy for moose and squirrel.

Among the attendees were Daniel Craig and Courtney Love, who reportedly bid $120,000 in an unsuccessful attempt to win a dinner date with honoree Bill Clinton. Let your mind boggle further by digging through the gallery below.

Some celebrities roll out of bed looking flawless. We’re looking at you, Jessica Alba and Beyonce. Other Hollywood glamazons, like Heidi Montag and  Katherine Heigl, need the aid of some concealer, mascara, and lipstick to push them to camera-ready status. And for those stars who aren’t naturally radiant, the paparazzi show no mercy. They’ll relentlessly snap photos of celebs exiting a gym, finishing a triathlon, or disembarking from a transcontinental flight. These unflattering shots end up all over the gossip rags, making us commoners feel better about the bags under our eyes and less-than-perfect skin. Take a gander at Hollywood’s hottest ladies in the buff. Cosmetically speaking.

Catherine Zeta-Jones sure hasn’t run out of love for Michael Douglas. His Traffic co-star and wife of almost nine years showed off plenty of leg at his AFI Lifetime Achievement tribute in Hollywood last night, thanks to a long split in her red carpet gown and a slinky short dress she wore for a musical number. Yes, she did a musical number for him. That’s devotion.

Judging from the number of former co-stars present at the event, Douglas must do a good job of keeping friends. Old pals like Kathleen Turner, Sharon Stone and Jack Nicholson paid tribute, as well younger bucks Tobey Maguire, Matthew McConaughey and Benicio Del Toro. Bob Dylan even played “Times Have Changed” from Wonder Boys—who knew Bob was this much of a fan?

The AFI Tribute To Michael Douglas will air on TV Land Prime, July 19. Check out the gallery to see who else showed up.

Basic Instinct 3, anyone? Sharon Stone, returning to LA after the opening of the Mardan Palace resort in Antalya, Turkey, left the airport with no visible support for her carry-on luggage. Stone got $1.5 million to MC the event, despite being unable to pronounce “Azerbaijan” (”What is that? I can’t pronounce this. Chaka Khan! Chaka Khan!”). You’d think she could affort some assistance.

Deadline Hollywood Daily has leaked the entire proposal for notorious Batman producer Jon Peters‘ upcoming tell-all, Studio Head, and it looks even more disgusting than we knew already. If the hairdresser-turned-studio exec-turned-lawsuit magnet is to be believed, he’s nailed every woman he ever wanted to—except for Elle MacPherson.  “He tried everything, and, with Jon, that means everything, but he could not melt her antipodean heart.” And somehow, no one else could resist.

• Barbra Streisand: “He found Barbra totally hot. He loved her body, particularly her heretofore concealed legs and derriere, and he was overtly provocative in telling her so. What really turned him on was that he saw her becoming even hotter under his Pygmalion makeover skills.”
• Barbara Walters: “She plied Jon with champagne and caviar, then changed into ’something comfortable,’ leaving her bedroom door strategically ajar as she stripped down to her bra and panties, giving Jon a 20-20 view, as it were, of the Barbara W in all her glory. Whether Barbara was setting a trap to get the scoop of a lifetime, or whether she was making a sincere pass, Jon didn’t snap at the bait.”

Brangelina aside, almost all of our favorite celebrities at Cannes attended last night’s charity dinner and auction for amFAR’s Cinema Against Aids. Robert Pattinson, Peaches Geldof, Hayden Panettiere, Donatella Versace, former president Bill Clinton and leg-barin’ Sharon Stone were just a handful of those present—oh yes, Paris Hilton & Doug Reinhardt were accounted for as well.

Highlights included Stone’s tribute to Natasha Richardson and Pattison auctioning off two kisses for 40,000 euros (dude is one high-priced gigolo). Overall, the benefit raised $4.5 million for amFAR. Check out the gallery to see who else was there.
