How is that we can roll our eyes over the most cliché romantic comedies and still fork over $12 (if you include a bag of Sour Patch Kids) to see the latest and greatest in rom-com cinema? Hollywood isn’t real life, but I can’t help but wonder what it would be like…
I was in a relationship with a guy for a little over four years. Problem was, my guy has two very different sides to him… when he was sober and when he was drunk. He was great when he was sober, and we really had a fun time together. But when he drank, he would be incredibly rude and pick fights with me that always blew out of proportion because I didn’t just quietly sit and take them. While I knew that something was extremely wrong, I kept working on him because he was out of control and I felt that there was no way a person could be this insane. I know what you’re thinking, BIG red flag. For some reason, I had strong feelings for this guy and his sober side always sucked me back in. Well each year he got better and better, and I got busier than ever balancing school and work. It got to the point where I was working early hours on the weekends, and he would spend one night with me entirely sober, and the next night he could go out drinking with his friends. We had a pretty solid routine worked out so that we could avoid this problem, I just couldn’t go out when he drank. Read More »
Now that Kate Plus 8 has FINALLY been canceled, it’s time for us reality show enthusiasts to push aside our constant indulging of these guilty pleasures for the sake of the children involved. There really is no reason why Kate Gosselin needed to drag the show on so much longer after her public, messy divorce and I’m sure it took quite the toll on the children emotionally. By the show’s end, it seemed to us viewers that Kate couldn’t step away from the fame.
Now, I fear for all of those other celebrity reality children who were forced to mature under the constant watch of television cameras. There’s no question that they’re going to need celebrity rehab thanks to their parents. Here are the 10 celeb-reality kids who have rehabilitation in their near futures. For them, we pray.

Nothing says summer quite like a good heart-onedayfelt chick flick. You know, the kind of film you bring the girls (and some peanut M&Ms) and just laugh (and occasionally, cry). It’s almost the end of summer, and you need that female bonding film before everyone leaves for school! Have no fear, CollegeCandy and Focus Features are here to help.

We always knew JB fans were crazy, we just didn’t know how crazy until we stumbled upon these. It seems his admiration is a bit more intense that we have even imagined. Scratching his initials into your arm? Talk about devotion to the 17 year old pop star. Check out the evidence of fan devotion, but proceed with caution.
If you are anything like me you are spending the summer at home and your hoarders-obsessed mom is demanding that you clean out your childhood closet. Not only is this a total pain, there are memories attached to all the things you grew up with. You can’t get rid of them without feeling like you’re betraying a part of yourself. This dilemma can go one of two ways:
1. You can call an ultimatum and tell your mom that you are not getting rid of anything unless she ends her attachment to shoulder-padded 80’s blazers (this won’t end well) or
2. You can throw her a curveball by finding room for your childhood toys in your life. Here are some creative, grown-up ways to use the toys in your life. Read More »
Two weeks ago we told you that we were on the search to find a new, cool logo to use on all our many social media channels (Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Tumblr). And Adobe was so excited to hear about our Photoshop-inspired contest that they decided to chip in to give the winner her very own copy of CS5.5.
We got a whole slew of entries and it was hard to pick the very best one. I mean, you’re looking at judges who’s Photoshop skills are still on the Microsoft Paint level. So it’s fair to say that we were pretty, pretty impressed with the entries that came in.
But life is about making the hard decisions and that’s why we had to pick just one. So with no further ado, see the new face of CC social media (give or take a few tweaks).
Oh, and if this contest got you all hot and bothered about Adobe, then get excited. Because on August 21st, they’re launching a contest that you gotta see to believe! It’s the Imagination Challenge and you could win up to $10,000. That’s a lot of $1 slices of pizza. Or like one really nice iPad, a new fall wardrobe and still a lot of $1 slices of pizza.
P.S: While we’re on the Photoshop topic train, don’t forget to watch our awesome tutorial on turning your summer memories into a piece of artwork.
