There are things you shouldn’t say and then there are things you just DON’T, F*CKING, SAY! Men have learned the hard way when they put their foot in their mouths and their heads up their asses — and sometimes both at the same time (it might be listed as a special skill). Some guys just don’t get it, though. They just keep digging. See, we say one thing wrong then we try to cover and say something right, which ends up being something worse. We aren’t all conscious of our misogyny. We aren’t all aware when we let out that inner pig. Here are 11 things that no man should ever say to a woman, in hopes that it may save one young man from a moment he’ll wish for a giant shark to leap out of the wall and gobble him up. Read More »

Russians dealt a blow to Vladimir Putin, the longtime president, in elections last week. After years of unquestionable power in Russia, Putin’s glory is finally beginning to decline. His United Russia’s Party in Parliament lost it’s grasp on the legislature, losing it’s majority of 67% to less than 50%. Without his party in power, Putin won’t be able to get things done the way he used to. And when he runs for reelection in March, he’ll face a steeper uphill battle. Some think this is the beginning of a ‘Russian Spring,’ with young people uprising against the government the way they did in the Middle East earlier this year. Putin must think so too, because he ordered students to school on a Saturday to prevent them from gathering. School on a Saturday? Oh helll nooo. Not the way to win students’ approval…

A gunman shot and killed a Virginia Tech university police officer on Thursday, then turned the gun on himself. The event happened only four years after the 2007 Virginia Tech massacre, when 33 people were killed by a disturbed student. The school immediately went on lockdown when the murdered officer Deriek Crouse was discovered. Authorities issued the all-clear four hours later when they found the shooter dead in a nearby parking lot, apparently by his own hand. Read More »

It’s about that time of the year when people start reflecting back on the year — the good, the bad, the ugly. We usually take those moments of greatness and not-so-greatness and try to learn and grow from them by making New Year’s resolutions. Now, we all know how hard it is to actually stick with a resolution past, like, January 2nd, but I feel that celebrities have a better chance of sticking to their guns with the help of personal assistants, trainers, chefs, life coaches, etc.  With this notion, I can’t help but wonder what Lindsay Lohan and J.Lo are planning to change or work on in 2012. (Maybe going away? That’d be nice.)

So I’ve compiled a list of 10 celebrities and their imaginary (but likely) answers to the simple question, “Hey you, what’s your New Years Resolution for 2012?”

When I got to middle school, I was so excited to get a locker. I would be allowed to decorate it just like people did in movies! I could put in a cool shelf, a dry erase board, a hot pink lock and TONS of photos of celebs that I worshiped. I was obsessed with Britney, so of course I had her plastered on my locker door, and I had hot male celebs too.

Did you have photos of any of these celebs in your middle school locker? Read More »

As a December baby (December 28th to be exact, yes I do now expect you to send me lots of presents) you would think I would be a fan of snow, or at least of winter. But I am not, and I will tell you why.

Growing up as a kid on the heavier side is not fun, it is especially not fun during winter. First off you had the people that would assume your “extra body heat” will keep you nice and toasty. Those people are idiots. Secondly, cute snow pants are apparently not made in fat kid sizes (or at least not in my day). So while all of the popular girls, the ones who usually ate salad instead of pizza, had adorable pink, purple, and light blue snow pants (matching jackets are a given) I was left with my moms giant overalls in puke green…which were not very flattering when accompanied by my giant white puffer.

There was a brief moment in my life where I did wear the cute snow pants, but they were tight and limited my joy. But, let me just say that winter I was part of the cool girls group. I was also, like, 8.

Although it’s fun to play in the snow, mainly for the rewarding hot chocolate, there are many downsides — frozen boogers and frozen sweat on your feet being my favorite. Plus, now that we are getting older there are even more negatives. So in the spirit of the light dusting of snow we recently got, here are ten reasons snow actually stinks… Read More »

How would you like to kick off the holiday season with a copy of the Scorpio Races AND a pair of cowboy boots? You would like that right? Well check out the review and then read the entry rules below to see how you can enter this awesome giveaway!

The Scorpio Races is a very unique book. It tells the story of legendary races that happen on the Irish island of Thisby, in November. Men and boys ride the capaill uisce, Celtic water-horses, in a race that ultimately claims many lives. It alternates between the perspectives of 2 riders: Sean Kendrick and Kate “Puck” Connelly. Sean is a race champion, but comes from a modest background and works as a stable hand for a rich breeder. Puck comes from a sadder place: her parents were killed by the water horses and, when her and her brother’s house is to be taken away, she decides to race her horse, Dove, to earn money. Sean and Puck begin developing a relationship, but it is always tainted by the fact that only one of them can win the race.

Unless you’ve fallen off the face of the earth (and the internet) for the past three months, you know all about Hipster Puppies. The infamous tumblr has now been made into a book (available at Urban Outfitters, obviously) and includes some of the most hilarious depictions and descriptions of puppies, portrayed as trendy, trendy hipsters. And you know what? I think all those people who claim to hate hipsters are going to reconsider their stance after taking a look at what we’ve found.

Since who are we to turn up a perfectly adorable batch of hipster puppies, below you can find our ten favorites! Read More »

What do Blake Lively, Tiger Woods, Anthony Weiner and Ashton Kutcher all have in common? They’ve been caught in a sexting scandal. Fort those of you who have been living under a rock, sexting is the act of sending risque text messages in order to sexually arouse the receiver. This could be via sexy dialogue or nakey pictures. As my last relationship was long distance, we came to enjoy a dirty text every once in a while since we couldn’t always bone when we wanted to. Whatever you chose to sext there are some simple rules one should follow so their name doesn’t end up on the front of some lame tabloid.

Houston, we have a pretty cool problem. NASA found a planet outside of our solar system called Kepler-22b that is really similar to Earth and could possibly support life (yikes!!). It’s got the perfect temperature of 72 degrees, which is a really nice day here on Earth. I don’t know about you guys, but space stuff tends to freak me out. I think it’s really great that we’re able to explore the unknown universe, but what if there really is life on this planet. I can picture those aliens being all, “Guys! We just found a planet called Earth that’s our twin! How crazy is that?!” Read More »
