MTV Movie Awards, Here We Come!

CC Staff — Fri, 29 May 2009 21:00:21 +0000

Excited for the weekend? We are. We’re more excited than we were for last weekend, and that one was three days!

Why, you ask? Maybe because CollegeCandy is going to the MTV Movie Awards!!

Yes, it’s true. CollegeCandy will be on the red carpet as our favorite stars (Ben Stiller? Andy Samburg? JASON SEGAL?!) shuffle on in to the coolest award show of the year. We’ll get a first hand look at what everyone is wearing, chat it up with the hottest people in Hollywood, and, if all goes well, take one of Judd Apatow’s funny boys home for ourselves.

And if it doesn’t go well, at least we know Paris Hilton will talk to us.

We’ll be Tweeting our L.A. adventures, and everything live from the event, so follow us! Then come back Monday to get all the delicious deets.

Have a good weekend! Don’t forget to tune in Sunday night at 9 pm EST.

G.W.W.E.: Rahm “Enforce Me” Emanuel

CC Staff — Fri, 23 Jan 2009 20:39:03 +0000

(We’re back with another weekly installment of G.W.W.E. [Guys We Wanna Eff]. As Inauguration Week draws to a close, all we can think about is the newest effable White House employee, Rahm Emanuel.]

I’ve had the pleasure to write a handful of College Candy’s Guys We Wanna Eff, and as a red-blooded twentysomething female it’s certainly not a difficult task to write about the hottest male stars. But I have to preface the ode to this week’s man of honor by saying I would trade in a year’s worth of paychecks and possibly Spring Break for one night with Rahm Emanuel. He takes the number-one spot on my Eff List. That’s right, I said it!

While Joe Biden (who, may I say, looks A-OK for a man of 66) is technically second-in-command behind President Obama, Rahm Emanuel occupies what many call “the second most powerful job in Washington” as the White House Chief of Staff. The position labels him as the highest-ranking officer of the Executive Branch (after the President), as well as Obama’s senior advisor. Before joining the new administration, Emanuel was a Congressman representing Chicago in the House of Representatives. Now, what woman doesn’t want to eff a man in power?

“Rahmbo” isn’t just a stiff politician, however. Did you know he studied ballet throughout childhood and college? Totally true; his mom still wishes he were a dancer! He followed his career in dance with a short stint as a civilian volunteer for the Israeli Defence Forces, and his brother Ari is the inspiration for Jeremy Piven’s character on Entourage. The man gets around–in a good way!

But it’s his feisty personality that really gets me going. He is known among politicos as “The Enforcer” for his ability to get things done. His way. Rahm once mailed a dead fish to a pollster he didn’t quite get along with back in the day–how’s that for teaching others not to eff with him? (Effing me, however, is a different story.)

To me, Rahm is one sharp-shooting silver fox who’s had me begging for a little effing action ever since I saw his dark bedroom eyes and wry, snarky grin. Oh, and I can’t help but love a man with a dirty mouth. He was once quoted as saying, “‘Rahm’ …roughly translated from Hebrew, means ‘go screw yourself.’” (Can I get your help with that?)

But to recap, the man’s a dancer (read: he’s flexible), he has megawatt connections to Hollywood (via his bro, Ari) as well as everyone in politics, he’s a smart-alec success who still can pull off frat-boy pranks (dead fish!) with pizzazz. In the words of Rahm, what more could you effing want?

CollegeCandy’s 64 Jews of Hanukkah

CC Staff — Mon, 22 Dec 2008 13:39:42 +0000

Happy Hanukkah, people!

In honor of the eight days of Hanukkah, we decided to do a tribute to our 8 favorite Hanukkah celebrators (also known as Jews). But then we decided that 8 just wasn’t enough; there are too many good ones! So, we upped it to eight Jews for each of the eight days.

Yes, it’s a lot of Jewish, but let’s be real – Hanukkah gets totally ignored this time of year, so we thought it would be nice to give a little shout-out to the people not dreaming of a white Christmas. You know, the ones dreaming of a little Mu Shu on Christmas eve. Click on any of our favorite Jews to see why we love em so much (and why anyone – Jew or non Jew – will love them too!).

Say Hello To Your Mother For Me: Mark Wahlberg Talks To Animals

CC Staff — Mon, 06 Oct 2008 14:40:54 +0000

These days, most of us tune into SNL purely to watch Tina Fey KO Sarah Palin each week, but every once in a while, the show that used to be hilarious churns out something so weird and strange that you just have to laugh. Not as hard as you used to — but I mean, at least you’re laughing.

Take a look as Mark Wahlberg talks to animals, and then watch the weirdest sister of them all after the jump…



Will D*ck In a Box Make the Emmys?

Who watches The Emmy’s besides our parents?
Seriously, I haven’t watched them since I was in middle school and was obsessed Friends and only watched to see what kind of hairdo Rachel would have.
But this year, there’s much more buzz surrounding this awards show, for our generation at least, because JT and Andy Samburg have triumphantly won an Emmy for Dick In a Box – for Outstanding Original Music and Lyrics at this past Saturday’s Creative Arts Emmys (the untelevised version hosted by Carlos Mencia, who isn’t funny, at all).
If Justin’s slam against MTV right in front of the Hills ladies at the VMA’s wasn’t cool enough (I agree – PLAY MORE VIDEOS!) Justin and Andy have both agreed to not perform Dick in a Box on this Saturday’s Emmy Awards if they are forced to censor the song.
Apparently, the old people who run the show have no idea what to do, because the song is so gigantically popular, but they don’t want to piss off their general viewing public. JT is totally cool, right? Stick it to the man.
So, will the famous strategically-placed boxes make the cut? Find out on September 15th. I say, it’s gonna happen, and parents everywhere will be offended. But at least college kids will be watching and laughing their asses off!
Once again, here’s Dick in a Box, in all its uncensored glory:
