The Hills: Cowboy Montag Moseys Into Town
Upon meeting Heidi’s dad on last night’s episode of The Hills, I expected a little more from MTV. For instance, I expected a scene out of some sort of Western movie where Mr. Montag walks through swinging saloon doors, gives Spencer a look and then does some fancy moves with the gun in his holster as a tumbleweed blows by.

Gradvice: Your Real World Survival Guide
The hardest part of graduating college is not the fact that your friends are now spread all over the country. It is not the fact that you can no longer party 6 nights a week with $1 pitchers. It isn’t even the whole “getting a job” thing (even now). The hardest part is having no freaking clue how to do anything.
Yahoo Question of The Week: Push It Real Good
You ever have a question so embarassing you weren’t sure who to ask?
You could ask your friends, but they’d laugh at you…and then copy and paste that sh*t into an email to everyone you know.
You could go to your parents, but they’d probably judge you…and then copy and paste that sh*t into an email to everyone you know.
Can We Really “Have It All”?
Our generation has been taught over and over again that we can do anything and everything we want as long as we try, but is that really true? Is it possible to balance stellar grades, awesome friends, your fave hobbies, a significant other, and a healthy bod with only 24 hours in a day?
10 Things Old Ladies SHOULDN’T Be Doing
Meet Elizabeth Adeney: she’s a successful business woman in her mid-60s, working and living in Britain. Ms. Adeney is a divorcee and well respected by her friends and associates, so one must ask, “What makes her special?” Well folks, she’s preggers.

Wardrobe Wish List: Beach Bunny Swimwear
If any of you have watched Bridget’s Sexiest Beaches on The Travel Channel, you have without a doubt seen some pretty crazy swimwear. Each episode, Bridget, (who generally looks perfect in everything, even though she says that her “stomach should be firmer”) wears multiple swimsuits and cute cover-ups that make you wish it were summer.
I’m Torn: Summer School
Ahhh, summer. The sweet, glorious days of summer. Days spent lounging by the pool, building sandcastles at the beach, or lying in bed all day watching old episodes of The OC on Soap Net. School’s finally out, and since the last long vacation you had was winter break, you’re ready for some of mom’s home cooking and not getting up from your bed. Ever.
Roller Coaster of Love. Literally.
Americans are well known for their affection for, and addiction to, theme parks. We have Disney Land, Disney World, Lego Land, Sea World, and a plethora of other immensely entertaining places. What we don’t have is a theme park about sex. Guess who else doesn’t have one? China.
Body Blog: Save Your Skin
Back in the day when Speedo one-pieces were cool, I had no interest in tanning. Although I fought through “sunscreen smear down” sessions with my mom, my skin was still, for the most part, shielded from the sun all summer long. It wasn’t until my friends started wearing bikinis and lots of Hawaiian tropic, that my Irish complexion got it’s first taste of sunburn.

Q & A With The Cast of MTV’s College Life
I really can’t give MTV’s new series “College Life” enough praise. I’m not a huge fan of the whole reality thing, but since the show is shot by the students themselves it really puts a good spin on a tired genre. Every episode is chock-full of the real life drama of being an actual freshman at one of America’s largest party schools – the University of Wisconsin.
