OK seriously, this cheating business is getting out of hand. Before you know it, half of Hollywood is going to be in rehab for their self-diagnosed “sex addictions.” When will they learn that just because you’re famous it doesn’t mean you do whatever you want? Oh wait, they won’t.

Momentous News

1. Bret Michaels is going to make a full recovery! Hooray! Two weeks ago, Michaels had a brain hemorrhage, which most people instantly die from. His doctors have been impressed by his will to live and he was released earlier this week. He wasted no time pimping out the story to People magazine, though, which is still high off the Sandra Bullock boom from last week. Michaels apparently is making a bucket list (maybe “take off my bandana” is on there?!) and is planning to marry his girlfriend and mother of his children, Kristi Gibson.

So… no more Rock of Love? Waaaaah (Snooki voice.)

2. Kendra Wilkinson has a sex tape. Surprised? Not really, but it’s a shame it’s coming out now. Vivid Entertainment obtained the video from someone Kendra “really trusted” when she was 18 (pre-Hef days) and is planning to release it in the next few weeks. Kendra’s team is doing everything they can to stop Vivid from releasing the video and is asking for her and her family’s privacy during this time. Honestly, she has a new and amazing life as a wife and mother. Can’t they just leave her alone? Read More »

Yeah, that's not going anywhere.

In a last ditch attempt to further procrastinate studying for finals, I was stumbling through some websites when I found this random statistic that literally blew my mind:

Only 12% of hookups eventually lead to relationships. TWELVE PERCENT.

Being a girl who has had her fair share of hookups and is still single, I don’t know why that statistic was so shocking to me. But it was. I stared at that one line for 10 minutes. Only 12%. 12 percent. That means 88% of hook ups lead to nothing but a walk of shame and that awkward post-hook up interaction when you have to return his sweatpants.

It’s just pretty shocking when you see it laid out like that. Especially when you consider the fact that the whole hook up culture has become the dominant way of interacting and “dating” in college. It makes me think twice about all those weekend convos with my girlfriends when we gush about whatever boy we made out with the night before. We all talk and plan and are convinced it’s going to turn into something bigger; after all, So and So met started going out with her long-term boyfriend after a hook up. It is possible. Read More »

Nothing can turn a confident girl into a insecure mess faster than bathing suit season. Suddenly every mirror you look into turns into a fun house mirror of horrors. When did your stomach get so flabby and when did your skin turn translucent?

But don’t throw on your beach burqa quite yet. No matter how bad you think you look in that bikini (and it’s all in your head, obvi), these celebrities look a thousand times worse. Yes, even the sexiest of the sexy fall victim to the bikini.

This spring, cargo styles seem to have made it out of our 6th grade wardrobes and back into stores and into style. The upside (aside from the genius extra pockets for flask storage, that is!) is that this time around, they are a whole lot cuter then their ’90s siblings. Or maybe it’s just that we are a lot cuter than our former ’90s selves. Either way, I’m a fan.

The best part about this look is that you can make it appropriate for day or night. Yes, cargos are not just functional for recess/military operations anymore, ladies and gents! Cargo styles paired with a form fitting top give you a laid back yet sophisticated/sexy look

Here are two examples I love of a cargo pant and a cargo inspired short for both day and night. Read More »

[Disclaimer: We realize this video isn't exactly new, but it's new to us and if you heard the WTFs rippling through our office, you'd understand why we just had to share it.]

I don’t know what’s worse about this video – the fact that Kiely Williams is a former Disney Cheetah Girl, the lyrics (“Last I remember I was face down, ass up, clothes off….”), the booty dancing on a random brick wall, or the naked dude’s butt just hanging out while she does her thing. It’s bad. Awful. Probably the worse thing I’ve seen since Britney’s “Gimme More” performance at the VMAs. And I’m not the only one who has a problem with it; even our favorite hater Kingsley has something to say.

Sure, we’ve all been there before, but that’s something we tell our friends over coffee in our pajamas on a Sunday morning, not to a beat in a pair of sequin booty shorts.

WTF, Kiely?
Seriously, what. the. eff.?

It looks like genetics have screwed me again. A new study out of Cornell has proven the obvious that big boobs mean bigger tips for waitresses. So not only can I not hold up a strapless dress, look good in a v-neck or put on lipstick with no hands, but when I graduate college and find myself with zero job prospects, I can’t count on making any money either.

Heidi Montag, on the other hand, will definitely be able to keep up her Hermes/Louboutin habit and afford all of Spencer’s new jewelry when The Hills ends at the end of the season. So there’s that.

The best teachers in life are mothers. They guide us, show us, and enlighten us from the moment we are born. I know my mom has taught me a lot. She taught me how to parallel park, she taught me how to put on pantyhose without tearing them, and she showed me how to take on a lot and handle it all with poise. Most importantly, she taught me how to get my dad to do what I wanted while making him believe he came up with the idea himself. Priceless.

Moms are just pools of knowledge from which we benefit. And while each of us has a wonderful mother who has imparted great wisdom upon us over our lifetime, imagine how much we’d learn if we had lots of moms passing down their knowledge. So this week, in honor of Mother’s Day (Did you forget? Don’t worry – we’ve got your back, sister), I asked the CollegeCandy writers to share the best lessons their moms have ever taught them. And I want you to do the same! Not only can we honor our fabulous, fearless and fierce moms, but we can all learn a few valuable lessons as well.

Katie – Michigan State University:  My mom taught me to do my own thing without regard to what people might think of me. If you do it confidently enough, everyone will fall into place behind you. Thanks, Mom.

Carly – Grinnell: My mom taught me how to cook. That may seem like a simple thing, but considering how much I LOVE food, I’m not sure I could live without it!

Norah – Drake University: That everything happens for a reason. And that you can make killer margaritas with lime juice concentrate, tequila, 7-Up and a can of beer. Read More »

Big Brother is watching you, students....

[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 cheating confessions! ) 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!]

Ah, George Orwell, how miserable you made my life in high school. But look, now it’s happening again – except this time it’s not Mr. Orwell’s fault that I’ve got Big Brother on the brain (no, not the TV show… is that still on?). This time it’s Northern Arizona University and their plan to install an attendance system that electronically reads student ID cards to tell if you showed up to your giant lecture course. Yeah, OK, first thing I thought when I heard about this was “so you just have to get a friend to carry your card to class, no big,” but the more I think about it, the more qualms I have.

In the school’s defense, attendance is important and even though we all know it, when that 7:30 alarm goes off, sometimes it’s easy to just ignore that little fact. I know more than one person who lost scholarship money over their grades just because they skipped out on class a few too many times. We should show up to class, but we don’t always, so I can get why the school is trying to step up and actually help (force) its students to do the right thing for themselves. Read More »
