Candy Dish: The JoBros Are Here To Stay
• The Jonas Brothers are NOT breaking up, OK?
• Fight the flu naturally!
• What exactly is going on here?
• Is Josh Duhamel a cheater??
• Miley’s got some freaky-ass fans.
• What makes a man bad in bed?
Coupled. The Real Relationship Milestones
I know what it means to be a “real” couple. I’ve gone from the butterflies and blushing to knowing what he is thinking without even saying a word. We’ve been at this so long we’ve hit every milestone….more than once. And I’m talking about them all, from the biggies to the ones that people often forget, but which are the actual gauges of how serious your relationship really is.

Fashion Porn: Sequin Orgy
With the world premiere of This is It and recent trips to costume shops, I’ve got Michael Jackson on the brain. And when it comes to the King of Pop’s style, one thing stands out: that single, sparkly glove. While donning a sequined glove is a very literal way to pay tribute to MJ (not to mention impractical – won’t your other hand get cold?), sequins are EVERYWHERE this year.
Halloween: Then and Now
Halloween has always been one of my favorite holidays. I could never understand what wasn’t to like. All the store windows are covered in cotton cobwebs and fake skeletons, people hand you free candy everywhere you go and you can dress up as absolutely anything and walk around in public without being judged. Did I mention the free candy?
The Doctor Is In: Hangovers. Uggggh.
Q: I don’t know if you’ll know this but I was wondering if you had any advice for curing a hangover? I always feel super crappy for days after a long night out and I don’t know what I can do to feel better. I drink a lot of water and try to get a lot of sleep but nothing helps!
The Know: Apples Are Better Than Candy
Honeycrisp Apples may replace Pumpkin Spice as my favorite thing about fall. They are that. freaking. good. So good that they almost make me want to go to University of Minnesota (where they were created) and cheer them on instead of the Badgers. OK, maybe not but I will give them props for this fabu fruit.
Wal-Mart Will Haunt Me For Eternity
Death isn’t something any of us like to think about. It’s scary and gives us that weird feeling in the pit of our stomachs. We’re also at that age where we think we are invincible, so it doesn’t cross our minds that often (except when we wake up in a strange place and thank God that we are still alive/promise to never drink again).

Makeup 101: Wash Away Your Halloween
Last year for Halloween my best friend and I dressed up as Ernie and Bert, complete with yellow and orange face-paint. Can you say ‘hottest costumes ever’? The guy I was hooking up with didn’t seem to think so. I had seen him out earlier in the night and when we texted later to meet-up (read: hook-up) he said, “I’m on my way over. Wash that sh*t off your face before I get there.”
Candy Dish: Want a Piece of Lady Gaga?
• You want some Lady Gaga hair?
• So, who’s gonna rock out at Lilith Fair?
• Probably not the best disguise of all time…
• The hottest colors of fall/winter 2009.
• OK! Magazine is obsessed with Kristen and RPatz.
• The First Lady’s thoughts on dating.
Sexy Time: Movie Myths about Sex
Whether we realize it or not, we all pick up subtle things from movies that we expect to find in our actual lives. And while I’m willing to overlook some of the media’s follies (like the fact that people in any foreign country all speak English), some of their depictions of sex are just. so. wrong.
Candy Dish: Miley Is Tainting Our Youth!
• Looks like Miley’s ruining America.
• More people try to milk the Michael Jackson estate.
• Michelle Obama’s a Glamour cover girl.
• A nightclub for overweight people?
• Get this season’s hottest trends at the lowest prices.
• Natalie Portman really doesn’t like meat.
The Rival Rundown: Columbia vs. UPenn
This week begins the World Series, the premier sporting championship in the nation (at least in my opinion–why have one night of the Superbowl when you can have at least four nights of nail-biting, crowd-rousing suspense?). While the world obsesses over the current New York-Philadelphia rivalry, let’s take a look at another – between Columbia University and the University of Pennsylvania.
Ask A Dude: Exiting the Friend Zone
Hey Dude, How the heck do you get out of the friend zone? It seems like everyone thinks it is only a problem for guys but girls go through the same problem as well. I have a guy friend for a few years now and I would love for it to be something more. He is a definition of a player and basically can get whoever he wants.
Beware Of These Relationship Red Flags
Making your way through the landmine that is the world of college dating is tricky. You have to make sure to bypass the clingy, the crazy and the man-whores before you can settle down in a safe zone. But just like my favorite computer procrastination game, Minesweeper, there are red flags that you have to pay heed to, lest you detonate a mine, or a relationship gone sour.
Go Green, Get Drunk
I like to think that alcohol in and of itself is good for all mankind. It makes people happier, friendlier, and much more likely to dance like a fool if given the opportunity. Unfortunately, your favorite spirits are probably not the most eco-friendly drinks on the block (or bar). Instead of forgoing your Saturday nights, just swap your faves for these green alternatives and feel free to party on!
Major Halloween No Nos
Just because Halloween happens on a weekend – allowing us to go balls to the wall without fear of vomiting in class the next day- it doesn’t mean you should disregard the basic No-No’s of this very religious holiday:
