Does watching this make anyone else feel slightly uncomfortable?
I’m no fortune teller, but I’ll put $20 down right now that all 5 of these girls will be on Teen Mom Season 10.

I’ll be honest: while most people were out getting their drank on this weekend, I spent my time alone. In my apartment. Watching ‘Telephone’ parody videos on YouTube. And eating cookie dough out of a tub with a spoon.

And it was glorious.

What sent me on this voyage? A mixture of the sniffles, the fact that MTV was doing some weird Real World/Road Rules Spring Break challenges, and my obsession with the original ‘Telephone’ video. That sh*t is weird, so obviously there would be some pretty fantastic parody videos surfacing online. And boy were there. From dudes to dogs, everyone was getting in on the Gaga fun. And to spare you 12 hours of YouTubing, I present to you: the best of the best ‘Telephone’ parody. From the Diet Coke in Gaga’s hair to Beyonce’s role in this whole thing, it is spot on. Read More »

Last month, Lady Gaga got the internet buzzing when she released pictures from the set of her video for ‘Telephone,’ which co-stars Beyonce. Fans wondered just what she could be up to this time and now the wait is finally over.

For their second pairing — Gaga and Beyonce collaborated on the latter’s ‘Video Phone‘ remix last year — the diva duo certainly go above and beyond the already-high expectations. The nine-and-a-half-minute video picks up where the clip for ‘Paparazzi‘ ended — in prison. From there, it gets even wilder, with plenty of Gaga and Beyonce’s trademark dance moves and outrageous outfits, as well as an intense fight scene, poisoning, a cameo from Tyrese Gibson and references to movies like ‘Kill Bill‘ and ‘Thelma and Louise.’

Check out the video for ‘Telephone’ here… and get ready to have your mind blown.

As women, we spend a lot of our time focusing on our flaws. Whether it’s standing in front of a mirror and staring at the cellulite on our thighs, talking about said cellulite with our girls over salads (dressing on the side!), or Googling creams that promise to erase cellulite, we tend to only notice the negatives.

Not the beautiful, strong legs underneath.
Or the killer ass on top of those legs.
Or the perfectly shaped lips that form a beautiful smile in pictures.

This week, National Eating Disorders Awareness Week, we’ve all seen the scary effects this sort of negative thinking can have on people, especially college women like us. It’s really easy to get caught up in it – compare yourself to others, find serious flaws within yourself – but it’s just as easy to think positively. There is no ideal woman. There is no perfect body. Everybody’s got something to be proud of.

So today I asked the CollegeCandy writers to stop thinking about what they hate about their bodies and focus on what they love. What’s your favorite part? Read More »

Thank God this is one award TSwift didn’t take.

Where’s Andrew Koenig?

Perfect waves while you sleep?!

People are scum. And here is your evidence.

So Billy Corgan is not with Jessica. I think.

No more sexy time in the iTunes store.

As most of you know, Punxsutawney Phil woke up and saw his shadow this morning, alerting us that, yes, there will be six more weeks of hell winter. What a prick!  Six more weeks of bundling up like an Eskimo for the walk to class?  Six more weeks of a constant runny nose and ghostly white complexion? Six more weeks that my wardrobe will consist 100% of sweatpants and Uggs?

As cute as he may be (just look at that face!), we’re pretty much loathing Phil right now. Lucky for that little guy, it’s too cold outside for us to load on the layers and head to Punxsatuwney to hunt him down (JK, PETA!). And if we were willing to stick our icy cold feet into a pair of still-wet-from-yesterday Uggs, there are a few other people we’d be going after first:

1. ABC: While the rest of the world is hating on NBC for the whole Conan debacle, I have a major bone to pick with the ABC suits. Canceling Ugly Betty? What the hell? That show has the humor of Glee, the high fashion of Gossip Girl and the drama of The Bachelor. Maybe if you didn’t change its airtime so much more people would know when to watch it and tune in!

2. Gisele Bundchen: The Victoria’s Secret Angel looks like this after having a baby in December (clearly this is a pattern with them, given the post-baby bodies of Heidi Klum and Adriana Lima). She also reports that she didn’t have to wear maternity clothes during the pregnancy. If that’s not enough to make you hate her, don’t forget that her husband and baby daddy is NFL hottie, Tom Brady. GAH! Read More »

The Grammys are only a few hours away! We haven’t been this excited since the Golden Globes…2 weeks ago. But to be fair, we didn’t really care who won the awards at the Globes – we just wanted to see what all those people were going to wear on the Red Carpet. The Grammys are different; music plays such an important part in our lives and we feel totally connected to the people who bring it to us.

OK, that’s not totally true. We just want to see what Kanye does when Taylor Swift sweeps another awards show!

We don’t know exactly how things are going to go down tonight but we know a few things for sure:

1. We’re probably going to be very, very drunk
2. Assuming he’s there, everyone’s eyes will be on Kanye whenever Beyonce or Taylor are up for an award.
3. A lot of people are going to be thanking Jesus.
4. Lady Gaga is going to do something weird. And probably shoot fireworks out of her boobs.
5. Gaga, Beyonce and Taylor will need help carrying all their awards out to their limos.

And now for the unknown: who’s gonna win? We have our list of predictions (for our favorite categories – there are seriously way too many to list) below. Who do you think is gonna take the awards?

[It's pretty obvious that the average CollegeCandy reader has some very strong opinions. Opinions that she likes to share with everyone on the site. We love a strong woman (unless she happens to be charging at us with her fists raised), so we thought we'd give her a real forum to discuss her thoughts, feelings, and perspectives. Every Friday I'll be featuring a hot topic (like socks with sandals!) and leaving it up to you, the readers, to duke it out. So, read it and get your debate on in the comments section below!]

In case you’ve been living in a hole for the past week (or, you know, busy paying attention to important world events), Heidi Montag got plastic surgery… like seriously! While we and pretty much everyone else has been clear on what we think about her new “look,” it got me thinking. One of the big things people have pointed out about Heidi’s work (aside from the sheer number of surgeries) is her age – specifically that she seems incredibly young to be having work done.

Now we’re not talking about medically necessary surgeries or reconstruction here, I’m talking the pure “make me pretty because I want it” type of thing, and I admit, I can see the appeal. While I have always been a proponent of the “love yourself the way you are” mentality, there are definitely days where I have wished I could wake up with a smaller nose or bigger boobs or a magically flat tummy – and I know I’m not alone. I was always taught that self-esteem is important, and most of us wouldn’t think twice about, say, coloring our hair or getting a gym membership to boost our self-image.

Isn’t plastic surgery just an (admittedly extreme) extension of that?  Read More »

Dear Dude,

I want a boyfriend. I have been single for the last four years, and although there have been opportunities for love to kindle, things just never seem to work out. I think a part of it is my fault. I am very conscious about my weight (I am full-figured). I think I am a very intelligent, funny and generous person, and I have a great circle of friends. But I don’t know how to show a guy that I have all these qualities because, frankly, most guys seem more interested in the way women look. Dude, how can I make a guy see past my weight to the person that I am inside, when looks play such a huge role in a guy’s opinion of a girl?

Sincerely,
Single and Not Loving It

P.S. I want to add that I am not ugly, just a little overweight. Read More »

Which colleges offer the best value?

We’ll nurse Channing Tatum back to health.

What? Are Brad and Angie too good for the Globes?

What have you done for your body lately?

I want a 6 month hiatus too, Beyonce!
