Colored jeans are a fun new approach for spring and are perfect for day or for a night out.

Ashlee Simpson pairs cobalt blue skinny jeans with a flowy black top, black stilettos and a Fendi bag for a sexy night out in LA.

Get your own pair of colored jeans at Urban Outfitters for only $59 – available in the same color that Ashlee has on and also purple, turquoise, red and green!

Oh, and I should mention that it’s best to pair these brightly colored jeans with a simple, solid-colored black or white top…otherwise you’ll end up looking like an Easter egg.

We know it is all over the news and there are various stories – but here is what the Times has on it for now:

At Least 20 Killed in Shooting at Virginia Tech

At least 20 people were killed today, some of them students, and more were injured during shootings at Virginian Tech University, some of them at a classroom on the campus, the police said. The gunman was also shot to death, officials said at a news conference.

Damn you, Natalie Portman! I’ve been using this line for years! Now it’s never gonna to sound original.

Everyone’s favorite Harvard educated, beautiful, Star Wars (the new episodes, that everyone hated, and that I never saw, because I can’t understand Star Wars for the life of me) Queen apparently has no qualms when it comes to considering a relationship with another chick. Cue the lotion and tissues.

Who knows, maybe she really means it. Maybe it’s not just about publicity and making herself seem mysterious and worldly. So what that there’s never even been one peep of girl on girl rumor? So what she’s never been photographed so much as hugging another chick? Who cares that she hasn’t been in the public eye for a while and may need to remind people she still exists? Maybe she’s telling the god honest truth. I guess I should stop being so judgmental. I mean, just because almost every girl I know has uttered this line shouldn’t make me doubt Ms. Portman’s sincerity.

So…kudos to you, Natalie! If you want to go gay, the majority of the male population will completely, sincerely, 100% support you. I mean, we’ll all support you. I just think they’ll support you with extra energy.

Last night’s Entourage was a good one! The writers cleverly have Ari redeem himself after disappointing the fellas one too many times, by saving his lovable assistant, Lloyd, from what could have been a sticky situation. Literally. (Ew) The episode is all about the art of convincing.

While E and Vince plan a “couples” weekend to Napa, Turtle and Drama decide to score some chicks at the dog park. Clever, boys! They spend the day trying desperately to get laid by two girls, but when their dogs get in a fight, all the girls do is worry about their mangled pooch. Turtle and Drama are unsuccessful. No wonder these two are always kissing Vince’s ass – they need him around!

E’s girlfriend, Sloan, decides she wants her man all to herself for the weekend, and to prove that he isn’t whipped by Vince, E spends the day trying desperately to break the news to Vince that Nappa isn’t gonna happen in the “couples” sense. Besides, Vince can’t even find a date. What?!? Ummmm….he never called me…. Read More »

Ah Spring. As much as I love wearing boots, I’ve always been one to give my toes a little room to breathe. Just a thought, you might want to preface these sandals with a pedicure. Especially if your feet haven’t seen the light of day for the past four months. Although red is classic, I’ve been a fan of teal recently. It’s vibrant, fresh, and completely unexpected. Try out coral too, it’s subtle but sweet.

The noble jellies, the sandals of my youth. Urban Outfitters $16

Considering I’m a girl, I would say that I tend to watch porn a little more than usual. Sometimes so much so that my girlfriends think I’m strange—not that they don’t already think I’m strange for a million other reasons. I’ve even gone so far as downloading porno-flicks from my boyfriend’s share-files when I’ve become bored with the material I already have.

Now don’t get me wrong, I don’t sit in my room and watch Jenna take it from behind 24 hours a day, while burning out one double-A battery after another. I simply enjoy some erotic entertainment and a sexual “boost”—shall we say—every now and then, when pleasuring myself.

It’s totally natural.

While pornography is clearly an industry targeted at pleasing men—more so than women—it does have its moments when both men and women use it as a means of stirring sexual arousal; and more often than you would think.

In a recent study it was discovered that men tend to look at a woman’s face, more than anything else, when viewing a pornographic image. Whereas women reportedly focus more on genitalia and spend more time viewing images of other couples having sex, than men.

How often do you watch porn?

She’s not my favorite person in the world, but I can’t help but feel a little something tender for Rosie O’Donnell these days.

Yes, she’s loud. Yes, she has made horribly stupid remarks in the past. And sure, she never really fooled me with that ‘nice’ act, but to have Tom Delay up your ass for saying out loud what a lot of Americans are thinking these days can’t be fun at all.

If you don’t spend all your time reading CNN.com and People.com like me, let me give you a quick rundown of the controversy: Delay, the former House Majority leader who resigned earlier this year under speculation of financial wrongdoings, is pissed at Rosie for a few things, but most notably, her continual questioning of the 911 tragedy. Rosie has publicly stated that she will seek “a rigorous truth” about September 11th , which basically means is that there are a lot of questions she feels have gone unanswered about the event. Delay claims that O’Donnell is blaming President Bush for the attacks, throwing conspiracy theories around and letting the ‘terrorists’ off easy.

Last week I raved about Grindhouse in anticipation of what was supposed to be the step-mother of all movies. After throwing away 10 bucks and three hours of my life, my song sounds a bit different.

.1. Know everything about film? Your knowledge was wasted. Know nothing about film? Death Proof’s self-indulgence was irritating.

2. Dearth of MACHINE GUN LEG.

3. Gratuitous violence is especially lame when it’s not gratuitous at all.

4. You can lose with a film that is genre-classified as Action / Crime / Horror / Sci-Fi / Thriller / Comedy, but is actually only half-Action, quarter-Comedy.

5. Fake trailer “Werewolf Women of the S.S.” directed by Rob Zombie was actually the weakest of all the faux previews.

Did Grindhouse live up to the hype?

Still squinting at your computer into the wee hours of the night, eating pretzels and knocking back that new disgusting pink Tab? (Seriously. Who thought women wanted a drink that tastes like chemically enhanced bubblegum?) Still trying to memorize all those weirdly named body parts for anatomy while your bed calls seductively to you from across the room?

Well, maybe my second installment of Spring Semester Freak-Out Remedies will help ease the pain. In this episode, we will be discussing meditation. The easy kind. None of that lotus-position hour long advanced yogi stuff. Let’s be real, almost none of us has time—or the back strength—for that.

Meditation, even in its simplest form, can bring your body and mind back from crazy land. It’s a centering practice, an easy way to feel rested in only a few minutes. And best of all? You can do it lying down!

Step 1. Make sure you have at least 15 minutes of quiet time. 15 minutes where you know the roommate won’t be around, when no one’s going to be knocking on your door, and there’s no rush to get down to the dining hall. If you have more time, awesome, but 15 minutes is a good place to start.

Step 2. Shut off all your lights. Close your curtains. You don’t need to be in pitch dark, but the atmosphere should be calming and quiet. Read More »

Imagine my shock when I cracked open this month’s Cosmopolitan to read about how I could be the “perfect girlfriend”. Okay, that just made me sound like a huge loser. I was really after the article on new ways to wear shorts and my all time favorite way to waste a Friday afternoon- Cosmo Confessions, the girlfriend how-to manual was just an added bonus.

Now, I take Cosmopolitan with a grain of salt, mainly because I’m convinced they print the exact same things every single month only with different pictures. I mean, there can’t be unlimited number of things “guys crave in bed”….unless it starts becoming appropriate to discuss the realm of the extreme kink in a magazine that doesn’t have a plastic casing. The day I see an expose on anal sex or something, is the day I’m canceling my subscription and moving to Singapore. Forget this.

But back to the whole perfect girlfriend thing. According to the Editors of Men’s Health, 97% of Men’s Health readers want a women who’s willing to show her love in public. “Men want a woman who’s confident enough in her sexuality to make a move, no matter the circumstances,” says the author of VoiceMale.
