Oh look. It’s the dry heave-inducing Rossum in LA last night leaving a show at the Troubadour with her very own doppelganger. But of course the Rossum would have a friend twin.

See? I’m not the only one who finds her sugar sh-t repellent. Turns out the Rossum is annoying across different species. Even bears.

It’s petty, sure. But again…this is a gossip column. Graciousness does not live here. What does live here is an aversion to Emmy Rossum. Which is why I am happy to bring you the following Fried Rice Moment: Her new film Dragonball Evolution, eviscerated by critics, opened in only 8th spot last weekend taking in a dismal $4. Full Story

Her publicists must have begged for this. BEGGED. Because selling Rossum off as sexy is not just a stretch, it’s a tragic leap into a bottomless canyon. Dumb.
