Candy Dish: Another Angry Lady In Tiger’s Life?

What could Tiger Woods’ kindergarten teacher have to say?

Give that old sweater some new life.

Lilo gets drunk. Falls. Yet again.

Can Two and a Half Men survive sans Charlie?

This. is. awesome.

It’s time to stop talking about dudes, Jessica Simpson.


The Gossip Cheat Sheet: Skanks, Hos, and Neo-Nazis. Jeez, This Is Getting Ridiculous!

Another week, another skank coming out of Jesse James/Tiger Woods’ bedrooms. My god, when is it going to end?! Hopefully most of this news is review for you all by now considering we’ve been covering the same stories for weeks now. I know you’ve seen Sandy’s face on almost every tabloid for, like, a month, but new (and disturbing) developments are coming every day.

Once again, I’m here to give you the rundown on all the ridiculous celebrity gossip that’s been happening this week! Everything you will ever need to know is right here, right now. Whether you care or not…. But how could you not care about Sandra!? Have you no heart?!

1. Sandra Bullock is reportedly back in L.A. but staying at friend Gabriel Brenner’s house. Some sources report she is filing for divorce, while others say this is untrue. Hopefully she does, because Jesse James has not only been photographed doing the Nazi salute, but he also had a foursome with some slore names Skittles Valentine, her tattoo artist boyfriend, and Michelle “Bombshell” McGee. Jesse has apparently entered sex rehab at the Sierra Tuscon center, which will consist of 45 day stay for about $60,000. Some sources are also saying that Sandra confronted Jesse before all of this went public, but he denied everything. Thank goodness she listened to Kanye and got herself a pre-nup.

In other, more positive Sandra news: The Blind Side was #1 in DVD rentals this week. Hopefully this can bring her a moment of happiness. Read More »


Single. And Looking for a Date

The beautiful Chicago weather has made it clear that spring has officially arrived. Along with the sunny skies and warm breezes, spring brings Easter, bike rides along the lake, and, oh yeah, my sorority’s spring formal, all to the front of my mind. So while I sat sweating in my last class before the long weekend (when it is 80 degrees outside, you would think they could turn off the heat in classrooms already, but no…) I contemplated who I should bring as a date to the biggest date party of the year.

The art of picking the right formal date is so complicated; there are many things one must consider. I want someone that will for sure be fun, that I feel is worthy of being introduced to my sisters, and that, most importantly, won’t be awkward. Since I had the same boyfriend all through high school, I didn’t have as much experience with the finding the right prom date dilemma as other girls did, so I guess it’s my turn now to experience it!

OK, so it’s not like I have options. I’m a single college girl – of course I’ve got me some options.

First off, we have that sophomore boy who likes me, but I don’t really feel comfortable asking him out of the blue because we haven’t been hanging out as much recently. He’s also a super nice guy and I’m not sure he’d be able to hold his own quite yet at a sorority event.

I always have my best guy friend, who is always fun. I did take him to our fall semi-formal, and though it was super fun, but I don’t know if I want to go with him again. Everyone already thinks we’re dating, and I don’t think I should help reinforce that perception. Read More »


Budget Stylista: Get Yourself a Shirt Dress

Shirt dresses are just about everywhere for Spring/Summer and this is one bandwagon I am ready to jump on. They come in different colors and styles so you can find the perfect dress that is flattering for your figure, your complexion, and your budget. You can wear them with leggings by day, or go for a sexier version for a night out. Basically, they’ve taken everything not cute about a man’s button down shirt and turned it into a super-cute little number that looks sexy and flattering on every woman.

It’s outfits like these that make me love being a girl. Well, that and the fact that I can spend a Saturday watching Disney movies and no one will judge me. But I digress…

The trend is nice because shirt dresses are cute and simple, yet you can still accessorize with fun shoes, jewelry, etc., for pops of color and individuality. So whether you’re looking for a shirt dress for day, night, or something to wear from day to night, I’ve got you covered. Well, technically the shirt dress has you covered, but you know what I mean.

WTF Friday: Evil Easter Bunny

I don’t celebrate Easter, so I’m not 100% sure what the bunny is all about. But he’s not supposed to eat puppies and instill fear in children (and fully grown website editors) around the world, right? Because I’m scared. That bunny’s got crazy eyes.

Is This What We Sound Like? [VIDEO]

So four guys got together to show us ladies what we sound like to them.

Part of me wants to hate this, to write it off as yet another stereotypical portrayal of women by loser guys trying to make a funny YouTube video. But another part, a larger and less feminist part that might still be drunk from last night, can’t stop laughing.

It’s just so. spot. on. I swear I had this exact conversation on Wednesday.


The CC Weekly Weigh In: It’s a Good Friday

Today is Good Friday and it is a Good Friday indeed. The sun is shining, the temperature is rising, and I’ve got a whole lot of Real Housewives and The Soup on my DVR just begging to be watched. In honor of the holiday (and the fact that the sun is putting me in a fantabulous mood!), I thought I’d have the CollegeCandy writers share what makes a Good Friday for them.

Personally, I haven’t really had a Good Friday since I was on the 4-day class schedule in college, but I guess knowing I won’t have to wake up at 6am tomorrow is as good as it’s gonna get out here in the real world. And that’s good enough for me.

Duke It Out: College Condoms

[It's pretty obvious that the average CollegeCandy reader has some very strong opinions. Opinions that she likes to share with everyone on the site. We love a strong woman (unless she happens to be charging at us with her fists raised), so we thought we'd give her a real forum to discuss her thoughts, feelings, and perspectives. Every Friday I'll be featuring a hot topic (like banning 21st birthday shots) and leaving it up to you, the readers, to duke it out. So, read it and get your debate on in the comments section below!]

This week, under the category of “news that made me say WTF!” was this little story about students at Georgetown University taping their mouths and chaining themselves to a statue in front of the school in protest of the fact the Georgetown doesn’t provide or help to provide contraceptive options like condoms to it’s students. The school, a private Catholic university stands by the religious policies of the Catholic church under which it was founded and refuses to provide any contraception that prevents the creation of life. Let the debate begin!

OK, let’s go ahead and get this out before the NYC-liberal-arts-student part of me literally explodes – SERIOUSLY! Are you freakin’ kidding me?! Georgetown, a major university, which does not require it’s students to follow Catholic doctrine, is still, in this day and age, refusing to hand out condoms!? Are you gonna provide daycare, Georgetown?

Ah, I feel better now.

But honestly, there are a lot of good reasons why Georgetown should step up and help with the sexual health of it’s students. To begin with, Georgetown is located in Washington D.C. where officials have declared a citywide HIV/AIDS epidemic. That means that, completely outside of the pregnancy prevention argument, Georgetown is refusing to help it’s students protect themselves from devastating, life-changing illness. And yes, students at GU could just go around the corner to the drugstore and buy their own condoms, but as many many schools have found out, it’s a lot harder to get students to do that (when you’re this close to getting it on in your dorm, that CVS might as well be China).
