The Reality of College Life.
“This isn’t reality television, this is real.” This is the way MTV describes “College Life,” a new reality show it will finally be premiering tomorrow night after a strange and secret date change. How is it different than every other reality show on MTV?
Eye On Florals
Ever since we first saw pictures of Scarlett Johansson at the premiere of The Spirit back in December, we’ve been totally enamored of oversized floral prints. They’re lush, they’re gorgeous, they’re unbelievably beautiful. And somehow they never feel overly girly, even when rendered in bright pinks and purples and done in flirty silhouettes.

I Don’t Think This Ad is for Lawn Mowers…
When we first saw this ad we were sure the women in it had been using this razor, but we were wrong. This ad is for Schick? Too bad it’s not showing in the U.S. – it’s catchy, hilarious and totally makes me want to mow the lawn.
De-Tagged Does Not Mean Erased
Though we’ve all heard that there are future employers, spouses, and murderers who are going to look us up on Facebook to stalk our past indiscretions, how many of us can truly say that our Facebooks are rated PG? While I remember myself painstakingly deleting every picture with the slightest reference of alcohol before I entered college, once I arrived at Michigan, it seemed that every person I knew was tagged in some sort of waterfall or beer pong picture.
I Love You, Man: If The Tables Were Turned
I Love You, Man was funny (duh). It made me laugh till I peed a little and also reaffirmed my love for Jason Segel. Any man who can make fun of man Uggs but still pull them off gets bumped up on my list. For real. (P.S. Jason, I’m a NJG (Nice Jewish Girl); call me. My mom makes a mean matzo ball soup. True story.)
Saturday Read: The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova
So lately I have, like the rest of the world it seems, been anticipating the release of Dan Brown’s “Angels and Demons” film. I’ve re-read the book (I have the nice copy with pictures!) and “The Da Vinci Code” in preparation and cannot seem to satisfy my historical-thriller appetite.
Freshman Year: “Major” Indecision
Everyone has learning experiences freshman year of college. We learn to stay away from the Jungle Juice if we want to keep our heads out of toilets and trash cans, we learn that skipping class can only lead to slipping GPAs, and most importantly, we hope to learn what we want to do with our lives. Some of us go into college with our careers already laid out, and every step of the way planned.

Weekly Wrap Up: Thank God It’s (Good) Friday
Happy almost-Easter! Have you stocked up on your Peeps and Cadbury Eggs? Not you, Passover people – unfortunately you don’t get to partake in the tasty treats. You also don’t have to deal with the Easter Creep-sters, though, so that’s a plus.
G.W.W.E.: Kal “Presidential Pecker” Penn
Not many men can put a gun to their heads one day and accept a highly prestigious federal job the next, but leave it to Kal Penn to pull it off. Earlier this week, the scrumptious House star had fans in a tizzy when they tuned in to discover his character, Dr. Lawrence Kutner, had committed suicide.
Should We Be Jailed for Dumb Decisions?
A 14-year-old New Jersey girl was arrested after posting nude pictures of herself on her Myspace profile in an attempt to tease her boyfriend. The charge? Distributing child pornography. Three Pennsylvania teens face similar charges after sending some seriously dirty texts. Yikes!
Celebrity Chic on the Cheap: If I Were a Boy, I’d Look This Cute Too.
It is this picture right here that really makes me hate lady B. We all know she can sing, she can dance hella good, she has a mom who can make her clothes on command and lady love looks daaaamn good in a leotard.
WTF Friday: Threesome!
I didn’t realize Mickey and Barbie were so kinky. Based on Barbie’s after-sex-hair, though, it looks like everyone here is having a really good time. You go, Little Timmy!
Suicidal Easter Dogs
If dogs could talk, I have a feeling they would have a lot to say about the stupid outfits people dr…
The CC Weekly Weigh In: What Makes a Good Friday?
In honor of the goodness of Good Friday, I decided to make this Friday extra special and do everything to make sure it was good: I ate a donut for breakfast (good), I put real cream instead of skim milk in my coffee (good), I never got out of my PJs (good), and I’m hoping to watch the entire first season of The Hills on DVD (very good).
