It’s 2009. Who doesn’t support a strong woman, am I right? Whether you want to assert yourself by wearing jeggings or teaching your guy how best to push your buttons, we’re behind you a hundred percent. Especially if you’re old and fragile.

But Elizabeth Lambert, a junior at the University of New Mexico and a defender on their women’s soccer team, takes assertiveness to a whole new level. Lambert was caught on tape acting like a big scary ogre  toward other players during a New Mexico/BYU game. Strength is one thing, but this chick is ridiculous.

If there’s anyone at University of New Mexico reading this right now, we sincerely hope that you never accidentally cut in front of this girl in the cafeteria. Or step on her foot at the bar. Best case scenario: a giant bald spot where your loose bun once perched. Worst case: well, we can only hope some big, burly bouncer guy has your back.

While the actual carpet isn’t as glamorous as we once thought, the people walkin’ it were mighty fine.

Did you know that cases of Chlamydia in the U.S. have increased by 41% in the past 10 years? And that is only reported cases. Experts estimate that the true number of men and women with Chlamydia is actually double the amount reported each year.

Did you also know that African Americans are 8 times more likely to contract Chlamydia than Caucasians? Scary stuff.

Since Chlamydia often has no symptoms many people don’t get tested, which can lead to the infection of others and serious health risks down the road. Women are most at risk as their infected partners can continually re-infect them.

I’m not really sure who these anchor people are (or what this “network” is), but it’s the only video I could find that showed the story of one middle school teacher who got drunk and did a little naughty dance with her students. And clearly it had to be shared.

At least they stopped her before she handed out bottles of water and tried to hold a wet blouse contest.

And this is why I won’t become a teacher. It’s one of the few jobs where you can’t drink in the morning.

[Make-up is wonderful, but it can also be confusing. There are so many shades and colors and sheens and reasons to wear it, that a girl can get completely lost attempting to find what fits her face best. What’s the best blush color for a redhead? How do you really put on lip-liner? Is there such a thing as too much eyeshadow?

In this weekly series, actress / model and fabulous CC blogger, Jen, will be using her makeup know-how to teach us all how to look flawless in class, out at a party, or grabbing coffee with that cutie from Psych 101.]

Got a big nose? An ugly birth mark? Something else on your body that you just really, really hate? Have you ever asked yourself why?

This week, instead of focusing on products and tips to enhance our beauty, we want to stop for a moment and be thankful for the beauty we all already possess. No advice for bronzer here. No tips for the perfect bun. Just you. As you are.

How many times have you said to yourself, “Facebook is so taking over my life!” Between endless wall-posting, scrolling through thousands of pictures of you and your friends, checking up on people you haven’t talked to in years, and the joy of poking, Facebook never gets old.  And yeah, you know that there are probably a few pictures on the ol’ Facebook that aren’t all that flattering, if you catch my drift. But luckily Facebook exists entirely within the virtual reality of the Internet. Once you leave your computer or put down your BlackBerry, you are blissfully free to live your real life. All the silly, frivolous fun of Facebook is available at your disposal, and you can come and go as you please into that thrilling digital realm.

But what if you couldn’t step away from the Facebook culture? This clip from the BBC shows what your world  would be like if Facebook really did take over your life…and the universe.

So, you woke up late and didn’t have time to wash your hair. No one will notice, right? Yeah right. That sh*t is greasy. Pulling it into a ponytail won’t help, wearing a hat is just not cute, and lookin’ greasy is not an option. What are you supposed to do?

According to Jen, it’s all about the baby powder.
