TV’s Most Important Life Lessons
There are some things you learn in life (and in textbooks) that you never forget:
We went to the moon in 1969.
Plants live by converting sunlight into energy through the process of photosynthesis.
Cows have four stomachs.
Would You Rather: Parental Control Edition
Would you rather your parents watch every date you go on for a year OR find them sitting on your bed at 2am when you come home with a “friend”?

What’s the Deal, John Mayer?
“All I want to do now is f**k the girls I’ve already f**ked, because I can’t fathom explaining myself to somebody who can’t believe I’d be interested in them. I’m too freaked out to meet anybody else” -John Mayer (Rolling Stone)
I Love Your Style: Penny Lane
I’ve seen a lot of movies in my 19 and a half years on this Earth, and no character has ever inspired me like Kate Hudson’s in Almost Famous. (If you haven’t seen it, you must. Right now!) This movie is based off of the rock and roll music scene of the early 1970s and Penny Lane, the leading lady/groupie, represents this era with her free-spirited, eclectic-yet-chic bohemian wardrobe.
Candy Dish: My Reality TV Dreams Are Coming True
• Looks like Snooki’s gonna be Snookin’ for Love.
• What’s Britney’s latest addiction?
• Think your way to better sex.
• Get white hot for a cool spring.
• Ryan Reynolds stars in a movie. All alone?
• It’s official. Conan’s on the move!
Web Spy: RunPee.com
One of my favorite ways to spend a cold and rainy day is at the movies, which means I’ve got a lot of movie dates coming up. And that’s fine by me; with all the holiday movies still showing and quite a few Golden Globe nominated films out there, I’ve got plenty to see. However, one of my biggest pet peeves about going to the movies is that I almost always have to go to the bathroom, inevitably missing something important.
Candy Dish: Anderson Cooper Is An Angel
• Anderson Cooper saves lives.
• Well this is just disturbing.
• Does Jeremy Piven have a new lady friend?
• Blame Corey and Topanga for your relationship ideals.
• Tom Brady is one hot dad.
• Will Kate Bosworth’s relationship last?

Cosmo Says The Darndest Things: February Edition
Cosmo’s February issue had a lot of usefulless information, as per usual. Get excited! This month we learn how guys truly feel about nail decals (we know you’ve all been dying to know the answer to this.) Turns out 55% think they’re too over-the-top, while 45% say they’re fun and flirty. But I’m pretty sure 100% don’t really know what nail decals are.
8 Under $20: Overstock
You’ve seen the commercials (and most likely remember them because they used to discuss “the big O”), but have you actually perused Overstock.com? The site might be overwhelming to some, but that is because it is chock full of awesome deals on clothes, shoes and accessories (in addition to home goods, decor and linens). Overstock.com brings you items that are marked down by up to 80% (!!) and they ship fast and cheap.
High School…er…College Musical
It’s no secret that the current economic crisis had had a pretty severe impact on private universities. Not only have they lost some serious funding, but they’ve lost some serious student recruits who can no longer afford the high price of a private college education. Those universities, then, have been forced to get really crafty in their attempts to entice those incoming students to come their way.
5 Questions We Ask Everyone: Glen Power of The Script
Have you ever heard a song on the radio that you were so obsessed with but didn’t know who sang it so you went home, hopped onto Google and tried to remember the lyrics so you could put them in?
Life After College: Making Sacrifices
Being an adult means making a lot of sacrifices. It’s about saying no to a dinner party because you can’t afford to bring more than stale bread ends. It’s about turning down movie offers because it costs 5 billion dollars to buy a ticket in NYC (and god forbid you want to see IMAX…bye bye, life savings!).
Tuffy Luv Puckers Up
Dear Tuffy Luv, I’m a college sophomore – and I have yet to have my first kiss. It’s not that I’ve never had guys show interest, they just never seem to be the guy I am interested in. Not to toot my own horn, but I think I am a reasonably attractive, funny, smart person, and I have seen way less attractive, stranger people have relationships or frequently talk about the people they hooked-up with over the weekend.
5 Things Guys Should Not Sport to the Gym
One of the biggest motivations for us college girls to get to the gym every day is the thought of all the hot guys that will be there. Yeah, we go there to burn off last night’s margaritas and nachos, but doing all that burning is so much better while ogling delicious, muscle-y coeds lifting weights, the sweat dripping off of their glistening brows.
It’s Not You, It’s Me
One summer when I was away at camp I got into a fight with all ten girls in my bunk. For three days, no one would talk to me. Eventually my counselor called me into her cabin and sat me down for a talk. I tried to blame everyone else (“But she cut me in line for water skiing! And she kicked sand onto my towel!”), but Stacy just wasn’t having it.
Candy Dish: Lady Gaga Helps Haiti
• Lady Gaga joins the charge to help Haiti.
• 10 things every woman should have in her car.
• Jennifer and Gerard get cozy at the Globes. What’s goin’ on??
• Don’t get a boring manicure; get nail art!

• OMG it’s really happening!
