CollegeCandy’s Courtney Stodden Meme Is All The Rage

So our (dream) BFF Courtney Stodden tweeted out a pic of herself this week and encouraged followers to “lie on the kitchen floor” and take pictures of themselves. Is this the new planking? Umm…Court, we heart you hardcore, but this is some serious weaksauce. As her favorite go-to pal, we here at CollegeCandy took her…flooring (?)… pic and transformed it into something magical.

The Bachelor’s Jenna Burke: Who Is She Really?

Jenna Burke, one of the 25 women on this season of The Bachelor, is a self-proclaimed “over-analyst” by hobby and blogger by trade. It took me no time at all to whip out my trusty laptop and pull up Jenna’s site, TheOverAnalyst.net. Glancing at her home page, I almost had a heart attack. This was not a blog. Not a real one, at least. “SHAM!” I cried to myself, “She’s a SHAM!!”

Who is Kate Upton and Why Does My Boyfriend Love Her?

Ladies, I think it’s time we learned as much as possible about Ms. Upton, relationship terrorist. Arm yourselves with knowledge and an even fiercer, lacier, whore-ier set of underwear. Our friends at COEDMagazine, who were some of the first guys to drink the Kate Kool-Aid, did us the favor of recapping her finer moments of 2011. Take heed.

Sh*t Girls Say: You’re the WORST

As far as I can tell, not much. However, after looking through photos of Adele’s post-surgery self, it’s clear to see there’s…uh…less of her. Personally, I’m left wondering what kind of surgery she really had.

Sh*t Girls Say…The Web Series [Video]

When one of my coworkers sent me a link to the new Sh*t Girls Say web series, I was skeptical. With the caution of someone approaching a leper, I clicked play, cringing as I did so. But what happened over the next 79 seconds was nothing short of life changing. Why was I laughing? Why the hell did I borderline identify with these scenarios?
