Makeup 101: From BBQ to Bar
You may not have work or class on Memorial Day, but it’s definitely an on-the-go kinda day. Between the family BBQ and the night out with friends (and, of course, all that patriotism), it is easy to forget about your makeup. And makeup is important if you don’t want to look like a hot sweaty mess. Below are some tips and portable products to help you make an easy makeup transition from grill to dance floor.
Candy Dish: Word To Your Mother, Kris Allen!
• The Idol Finale was full of surprises.
• Dessert for dinner? Do it!
• This is totally not P.C., but we kinda laughed anyway.
• We’re obsessed with the maxi dress!
• Will Chase Crawford do Kevin Bacon justice?
• Um. Bacon lube exists.

Sexy Time: Splitting The Bill On Plan B
If you think it’s awkward to go dutch on a meal, then you clearly haven’t gone dutch on Plan B. I’m all for gender equality but when a friend of mine relayed the following tale, I threw my split-the-bill philosophy out the window.
Candy Dish: Brangelina Come to Cannes
• Did Angelina Jolie flash her Britney at Cannes?
• Randy Jackson next to hop on the designer bandwagon.
• Well hello, perfect floral dress for summer!
• Your student ID is useful…even after college.
• We hope Carrie Underwood is OK…
• OMG. Someone loves Adam Lambert a bit too much.
We Love You, Oscar Mayer!
Our friends over at Oscar Mayer, the people who have given us hundreds of good times at cook-outs and barbecues throughout our young lives, are giving us something else – free hot dogs. Oh yes! That word was FREE, homies! Oscar Mayer doesn’t want you to spend your hard-earned cash on delicious food to sustain your amazing summer schedule.
He Said/She Said: Swiping Your V-Card
I waited a long time to swipe my coveted V-card. It wasn’t like I was waiting for my Prince Charming – more like I was waiting for the right opportunity. The right guy. The right comfort level. I wanted it to be something I could look back on down the road without regrets.
The 12 Best TV And Movie Makeup Transformations
We love a good a makeover transformation, especially when it’s into something creepy.

So, Who Will Be The American Idol?
Everyone who reads this site knows how we feel about Adam Lambert and his weird acne skin and awful Kate Gosselin-inspired haircut. The truth is, we’d rather vote for Sanjaya to win tonight than have to see this guy on every channel/magazine cover/gossip website for the next two weeks.
Countdown to College: Waiting to Go
Lately, it feels as if I’m in a Samuel Beckett play. With four weeks to go until I graduate from high school and hardly anything worthwhile to do, I find myself stuck in a waiting game. My school days are drawn-out and boring as anything; the highlight of my day is the various incarnations of dodgeball my gym teacher keeps thinking up.
Shopping Your Closet: Old Jeans
A few pairs of old jeans are probably taking up some of your precious closet space right now. They don’t fit, they’re out of style, and you haven’t worn them in years. But don’t be so quick to throw them out! Jeans are the easiest clothing items to update.
Perez Hilton: Real Life’s Gossip Girl
Monday night’s Gossip Girl season finale got me thinking. First, I started thinking about how depressing my Monday nights would be without my favorite show. Then I started thinking about what I would do with that 60 minutes of emptiness… and decided that I’d probably just eat to fill the void. And then I started thinking about the quest to out Gossip Girl and I had a teen-drama epiphany:
Facebook Makes Breakups Even Uglier
We are the Facebook generation. With this glorious title comes many responsibilities (well, sort of): we must immediately inform our friends of any and all actions we take and decisions we make during our day. This includes what TV show we’re watching, what we are eating, the status of our relationships and, subsequently, our break-ups.
Marriage is Like a Country Club…
Marriage isn’t a right; it’s a privilege. Depending on the time, place, and partner, getting married could be harder than getting into Harvard, if not downright impossible. As recently as fifty years ago, miscegenation laws would have forbid me from marrying my boyfriend (or any man not my race) in certain areas of the United States.
Candy Dish: Lady Gaga’s “Style”
• Lady Gaga really doesn’t like clothes.
• The claws are off for Gwyneth and Scarlett. Rawr!
• You snooze, you lose….weight.
• T.I.’s road to redemption a whole lot shorter than expected.
• The Snuggie alternatives.
• A look we’re totally loving.
Let it Rock: I Almost Forgot About You
You know those artists that just seem to disappear all of the sudden? One minute they’re in your life (and in your head) and the next, you don’t really know where they are and you spend your days wondering if they took some office job somewhere.
Candy Dish: Jessica Biel is Too Pretty
• Woe is Jessica Biel.
• The top five greatest American Idol finale moments.
• These people should not have children.
• Lisa Rinna’s lips aren’t real?!
• Kate Hudson is A-Rod’s latest conquest.
• 5 jobs for easy money.
