Looks like the bleak holiday TV hiatus was worth it. Not only all our favorite shows returning next week, but they’re bringing a few new ones that are sure to have you saying “is this real? Seriously, CollegeCandy is this a real show?!” And I’ll tell you what. We don’t know. Youtube so kindly sent us this trailer today for the upcoming web series, Prison Dancer, and we can’t tell if this is a real show or a joke.

Spandex. Estimates suggest that it is found in 80% of the clothing sold in America. Which means that almost every single American owns at least one piece of clothing that has at some amount of Spandex in it. And apparently, some people think that it’s making us fat.

Between alternating TV time with computer time, I’m lost in thought thinking about all the beautiful, comfy locations I’d rather be. Get ready to cry your eyes out with both joy and [hangover] pain at all the places I would accept as my Hangover Paradise. If only I could stand up long enough without wanting to puke so I could get there…

When I was little, I couldn’t wait to get older. I imagined myself as a very cool teenager driving a car. I would go to college and continue to be thoroughly awesome. After that, I would graduate, get a kickin’ job, and buy a house. Or something. As I got older, however, the reality of the future hit me. It’s not all rainbows and butterflies.

Forget the cupcake, 2011 was the year of the cake ball. The little tiny ball packed with cake and frosting and covered in chocolate. It was like heaven came to earth and decided to rest in my mouth. Seriously they’re that good. And now, you can make them at home.

Over the past year, I’ve shared over 50 lessons that I’ve learned in my single life to remind you that being single is more than a table for one (even when you’re eating a meal portioned for two), or going dateless to you’re cousin’s wedding — it’s a way of life. Here are my top 10 favorite rules to live by while you’re single.

If you close your eyes and picture Lady Gaga’s boyfriend, what comes to your mind? A centaur? A headless ghost? The entire cast of Ru Paul’s drag show? Well your mind is wrong because vacation photos are out and he looks like a real live human man.

I’m a 21-year-old college student who should be living in an apartment with my besties and taking tequila shots instead of studying for exams. Instead, I’m a 21-year-old college student who lives alone (take note, killers) with my two cats who both enjoy shot-sized portions of tuna fish. But who cares?

I think by now we’re all familiar with American Apparel for their wacky clothing or at the very least, their 3/4 naked models and ads that tiptoe on porn. Their ads are usually making headlines for being disgusting, but this company keeps the hipsters clothed.

Is Spears our generation’s Madonna? No matter how many times she fails she’s still loved by millions. Her highly publicized life has been in the limelight since the very beginning.

Her mistakes have just been publicized for the whole world to see.
