5 Greatest Celebrity Freak Outs

We all freak out occasionally. Sometimes our roommates make a huge mess and don’t clean up after themselves, or maybe you’re freaking out because you have an eight-page research paper due tomorrow that you haven’t started (my current crisis). Within reason, freak outs are justified. It’s a way for us to get our anger out when we might literally implode if we don’t. Sometimes, however, people take it a little too far. If you’re a regular person, these extreme freak outs can be overlooked and forgotten. But, if you’re a celebrity, they will forever be remembered.

Here are the top five celebrity freak outs:

5. Britney Spears

We all know the story of her shaving her head. Need I say more?

4. Tom Cruise

After proclaiming that he was in love with Katie Holmes, Cruise proceeded to jump on Oprah’s couch. Oprah laughed but she was probably at least a little scared on the inside.

3. Christian Bale

After yelling and swearing violently at his director of photography on the set of Terminator Salvation, Bale later apologized. But, the audio tape of this incident will forever live on.

2. Alec Baldwin

I know he was upset and later apologized, but let me just say if my dad ever freaked out and said anything like this to me, I’d be really scared.

1. Chevy Chase

This is the most recent celebrity freak out. The Community star completely bashed the show’s writer in a violently angry voicemail.

How to Know if Getting Kicked off a Plane is Worth it

Yesterday, hilarious 30 Rock star Alec Baldwin was kicked off an American Airlines flight for not turning off his cell phone while on the plane. Instead, he continued to play the very popular game “Words With Friends.” Personally, I don’t blame Mr. Baldwin for keeping his game going because I assume he was about to get a triple word score on the word “zany.” Who can delay that kind of satisfaction until you’re 30,000 feet in the air? Like Alec Baldwin, I think that getting kicked off a plane for a playing a game of “Words With Friends” is completely worth it. In the spirit of plane debauchery, I have compiled a list of a few things people do that are definitely worth and not worth getting kicked off a plane for. Read More »


10 Actresses Who Should Be Hosting SNL

I have breaking news to report to all of you.

You won’t believe it.

Alec Baldwin hosted SNL (and Steve Martin made a guest appearance, it was funny. Watch it here.). Again. I’m not complaining because I love me some Jack Donaghy, but really guys? Was Steve Martin busy? (Actually, he wasn’t…he helped Baldwin host his 16th episode during his opening monologue). Also, has Bridesmaids not taught the SNL writers anything? Women are a lot funnier, nicer, smarter, skinnier and overall just plain better than men.

Now with that bashing aside: let me show you some potential hosts that would not only get the job done, but have hosted less then three times or haven’t hosted at all. Seriously, that is extremely low by SNL standards. Read More »


My Ideal Star-Studded Golden Globes Table

The list of Golden Globe Nominees was announced today, and though there were no major surprises, I love pretty much anyone who’s got a shot at winning an award. And that, friends, is an exciting prospect for my 2011 TV schedule. So while I was making a mental food-shopping list for award night (Tostitos, Diet Coke, twizzlers…hey, January 16th isn’t that far off!), I really got to thinking, “How amazing would it be if I could actually go to the Golden Globes?” And because that just wasn’t enough, I thought, “What if I could go and pick who sat at my table!?”

Granted I would never pull out the chips and salsa in front of my A-List buddies, but I think a night of forgoing junk food would be well worth it if I got to watch the awards next to these fabulous people…

Ryan Gosling, nominated for Blue Valentine
Could I have made a more obvious selection? Well, probably…keep reading my list. But come on! Not only did be become the dreamy lead male for our generation in The Notebook, but bro has also rocked a number of darker roles, too. Blue Valentine is the perfect storm of sexy and slightly disturbing, and I definitely want to ask dear Ryan about the controversial sex scene he did with Michelle Williams. I mean, maybe he can even illustrate a few of the finer points…who knows. Actors take their craft very seriously, so I think he’d be all for a little hands-on demonstration.

Alec Baldwin, nominated for 30 Rock
Did someone order a dirty old man? Alec’s the guy who will be staring at your boobs, assaulting his children on the phone during commercial breaks, making vulgar comments about women…and we’ll love him all the more for it. Oddly enough, even in his current paunchy, graying physique, he’s still kinda hot. There, I said it.

From PopEater: Alec Baldwin Wants to Leave ’30 Rock’?

Alec Baldwin may be following in Steve Carrell’s footsteps once his contract expires in 2012. During an interview with CNN, Baldwin admits he is over show business and would love to have a more simple life.

“As much as I like acting, I know that I would love to have a different life, a private life. I think doing this now for a living has become really hard. It’s really hard,” Baldwin said.

“I would rather go do other things and have whatever amount of time I have left in my life, have more of a normal life… I want to find out if it’s possible. How close can I get,” Baldwin added.

Watch the interview (and cry) here.


The Coolest Commencement Speakers of 2010

If I can speak for most undergrads, we dread graduation day more than the apocalypse itself. It means leaving college and entering the real world, where it won’t be acceptable to beer bong in broad daylight on the roof of a frat house or blow off all your responsibilities to watch an entire season of the Office in bed.

Although the whole “graduating” thing sucks in theory, there’s always a lot of excitement surrounding the commencement speaker (or controversy, if you remember the whole Obama at Notre Dame debacle…). A good speaker can trick you into thinking this isn’t the worst day of your life inspire you to look ahead to the future and all the possibilities that lay ahead (if they’re a huge success, why can’t you be!?). And a bad speaker will allow you a good 45-minute power nap.

So who will be inspired come graduation day and who will be snoozing in their caps and gowns? Here is a list of some serious commencement speaker heavy hitters and the lucky seniors who get to listen to ‘em: Read More »

Get Your Oscar Party On

Roll out the red carpet, The Oscars are almost here!! It’s time to pop bottles, sit back, and dazzle at Hollywood’s A+ list. With two incredible hosts and so many strong nominees, this year’s Academy Awards show is going to be a doozy. And the best way to get through it is with some friends and a couple of cocktails.

We know your usual drinking habits tend to favor your wallet instead of your taste buds, but there’s something about The Oscars and Natty Ice that just don’t mix.  It’s a glamorous event so it requires a glamorous (drinking) menu. We found two cocktails worthy of this red carpet, so invite the girls over and wow them with a few of these:

Champagne Hotel California Cocktails
- 1 ounce tequila
- 2 ounces pineapple juice
- 2 ounces mandarin orange juice
- Top it all off with Champagne

Show off your bartending skills:
Mix the tequila and juices with ice. Strain into a serving glass of your choice. Add in Champagne and cheers! Read More »

This Sunday, the 82nd Annual Academy Awards will air at 8 p.m. on ABC! We at CollegeCandy are obviously super excited for all the usual reasons: red carpet fashion, trying to predict the winners (will anything actually beat Avatar?) and of course, an excuse to put on a cocktail dress and drink on a Sunday.
