The Celeb Secret That No One Wants To Talk About

Ever stop and wonder who these people are that camp out in front of the celebrities’ homes, waiting for them them to emerge, on the slight chance that they could snap a pic that could  possibly be worth thousands of dollars? Ever ponder if those people actually know when the celebs are coming out of their homes? Uh huh, I do too. Don’t you think it’s weird that the paparazzi always know when Justin Bieber & Selena Gomez are going to kiss, or where Katie Holmes and Suri Cruise are going to be shopping today, or what time Shia LaBeouf is going to take out his trash tonight?

Apparently, celebrities and photographers have come together to create the biggest scheme yet: staging photo opps.

Speidi (formerly know as Spencer & Heidi Pratt) are known for staging many of the photos that used surface of the pair (knock-on-wood that they never start surfacing again). And it’s not just skeezeballs who are doing this. In the latest issue of Vanity Fair, Emma Stone reveals that she was approached to set up her own personal paparazzi agreement. While we’re not shocked that this Hollywood rumor turned out to be true, we are a little surprised about how it actually works, and how many celebs are actually doing it.

Learning about Hollywood swindles like these really makes me suspicious of all the photos that are released of celebs doing normal everyday things. Annnddd speaking of suspicious photo opps…in what month does preschool begin again!? Kinda weird that this celeb kid’s first day of school is in the middle of July

Let us know what you think. Are they staged?

Sex in the News: Toddlers & Tweeting Tantrums

Viewers of TLC’s Toddlers and Tiaras threw little tantrums last week when self-proclaimed “Diva,” Brock Ritter, stole the pageant stage and walked away with several first place crowns. Adding to his already established collection of trophies, the seven-year-old boy blew the tutus off of his competitors by excelling in both dance and gymnastics. Brock’s mom, Tori, beamed with pride and has encouraged her son the entire way. “He is not your typical kid,” Tori tells E! News, “He likes his glitz, he likes his sparkle, he’d like to do Broadway.” Read More »


Seventeen Says The Darndest Things: Hot Night Out Edition

This month’s Seventeen was, well….just as predictable as ever.  They gave us the secret to getting a cute butt (in case you didn’t know, Seventeen is to cute butts as Cosmo is to flat abs – which means that every issue gives tips that seem way too simple to ever be effective.  Probably because they’re not.  Sorry, but if it was that easy, we’d all look like Kourtney Kardashian.)

It also included a guide to finding your perfect pair of jeans, and to that I say: if I had to get a new pair of jeans every time you ran this article, my closet would be bluer than a smurf.  There’s also some info on how to look prettier than ever, which is chock full of tips on how to apply makeup.  Again, I’ve seen it all before.

This month’s cover girl is Emma Watson.  So they use a girl who is not only FAMOUS, but also Ivy League brilliant, able to pull of a pixy cut, and the owner of one of the most enviable wardrobes EVER.  Yeah, I can totally relate to you, Emma Watson. Read More »


Tuffy Luv Sez: CONDOMS!!!!!!!!!!

Question?! Answer: Ask Tuffy Luv.

Dear Tuffy Luv,

Hi, I am confused and have found myself a deer caught in the headlights. Now since I have lost my virginity I have found condoms extremely uncomfortable. I mean to the point where I am in tears from the pain. I have not found the reason behind this, I’ve tried ultrathins and pre-lubricated condoms, I’ve even tried using extra lube. It just hurts. Now whenever I’ve gotten with a guy because of my extreme hate of condoms I try to be as sure as possible they do not have any STDs and we are monogamous, only one person have I ever grinned and beared it with merely on a trust issue. I am also on birth control.
Now up until now this has been a fine arrangement, guys understand it hurts, and if they don’t when they see me cry they rip it off themselves. But I am in a relationship with a guy who is extremely uncomfortable with the idea of not using a condom (mainly due to a recent pregnancy scare). I don’t want to make him compromise his ideals and I don’t want to hurt. What do I do???

He Said/She Said: Shameful Attraction

[He Said/She Said is a series designed to help all our wonderfully confused readers figure out what he’s really thinking. So every week we’ll be throwing out a topic for debate…and unlike our fave dude, these guys won’t be sugar coating anything for you. But before you jump into their heads (which seriously will make you feel like you need to shower), check out what we think!]

I have a confession to make. And I’m not proud of it. In fact, on the list of things I’m most ashamed of, this one ranks higher than DVRing Jerseylicious (as in, setting up a series recording) and that semester when I didn’t wash my sheets once (even though I did have guests over…frequently).

So here goes.

[Breathes in heavily.]

I have a major weakness for boys who cock their hats off to the side at a 45 degree angle.

There. I said it.

But it’s not my fault. You have no idea how many guys like this exist at Michigan. They’re…everywhere. And while a lot of them might be majorly douchey, a lot of them are also really, really hot. What can I say? I like a guy with swagger. And confidence. And good jeans (because the tilted hat is always paired with a hot pair of Sevens…) Read More »


Artists I Wish Would Call It Quits

The Black Eyed Peas recently announced they are going to take a break from each other. They claim they aren’t ending for good but rather taking some time apart for themselves—that’s a break up story I think we’ve heard once or twice. Will.i.am is scheduled to drop a solo album and Fergie is ready to spend more time with her sexy hubby. They did go on hiatus once before, so we’ll see if they manage to rekindle the spark later on. Personally, I’m not ready to say adios to the band that brought me “Fill up my cup
, Mazal tov!” However, there are some artists whose relationship I’d like to see fizzled instead. The world doesn’t need anymore bad music, but bands- please remember it’s not you, it’s all me.  No hard feelings? Read More »


Google + and 4 Other New Tech-y Things You’ll Love

Facebook and Twitter have just about taken over the world at this point. Almost every company in the world wants you to “like” them and I’ve yet to find any blog that isn’t covered in “tweet this” buttons. With this social media monopoly in full swing, it seems strange as to why anyone would try to challenge the virtual throne.

…Unless that someone is Google. In 2004 when Facebook was just starting to quietly kill a few Myspace accounts, Google offered to buy it, but was turned down. Their first social networking site, Google Wave, was basically a fail. Fast forward to 2007 when Google decided to try to convince Mark that selling out was the way to go. This rejection was the birth of Google +: the social networking site no one ever saw coming.

So what sets Google + apart from Facebook and Twitter? Well, just like any social networking site, you set up your profile with pictures and interests, but that’s just about the only thing Google + has in common with any other site.

When Loving Harry Potter Turns Ugly

It’s one thing to be a fan, but these people take their Harry Potter devotion to an entirely new level. Like a “are you sure you want to permanently put that Dumbledore quote on your neck?!” level.  And the scariest part of this whole thing? You KNOW these people are already waiting in line for the movie.
