On Saturday, Christina Aguilera performed a tribute at Etta James’s funeral in Los Angeles. She sang “At Last,” Etta’s most famous song. But even though she sounded great, the crowd was distracted by something. Christina had some kind of weird, brownish fluid dripping down her legs.
Lots of theories are going around about what that strange stuff might have been. One of the latest rumors is that Christina had an “accident” on stage. No, people don’t think she peed her pants. They think she had her period and forgot to put in a tampon. Come on, people. This isn’t middle school. Christina’s a big girl, and we’re sure she has her lady problems under control. Besides, that’s not what it would have looked like if she had gotten her period on stage. Her are a few of our suggestions about what might have really gone wrong. Read More »

Did you buy Justin Bieber’s new perfume? No?? Then congrats, you’re of the three people in the world who haven’t spray themselves with Someday yet. According to a press release we received, Someday is on its way to becoming the number 1 selling fragrance of the year. This is a perfume that was made by a guy for a woman. If most guys made a perfume for woman, it would smell like pizza and an XBox. However, Justin’s perfume apparently has a fruity smell that’s perfect for 14 to 18-year-old girls. This got us thinking, what do you think these celebrity perfumes really smell like?
Although all of the other celeb perfumes probably smell classically fruity, woodsy or floral, I’d think they should smell like the true essence of our favorite stars. Here’s my take on some popular famous people’s fragrances. Read More »

Now that Oprah’s off the air (well, not really– she just decided to start her own TV network instead), I’m starting to wonder who will take her place as an overwhelming wealthy woman who uses her resources and media presence for good. Sure, no one will ever replace Ms. Winfrey, but I sure hope she’s not the last woman to inspire and help the world to the extent that Oprah did. Even if they don’t land their own talk show, there’s a handful of well-known women who I know I’d have no problem sitting across from and telling my life story to. Read More »

So I think we all know what this post is going to be about.
On Sunday I sat down with my plate of nachos to watch the opening of the best commercials of the year the Super Bowl, only to find Christina Aguilera messing up the words to the national anthem. I had a good chuckle, and then went to get some potato skins. By half time, I was over it. But the rest of the world, apparently, was not. So I’m just going to say what needs to be said.
LEAVE. THE. GIRL. ALONE. AND. GET. OVER. IT.
Christina is not the first public figure to mess up the Star Spangled Banner, and she won’t be the last, either. In 1990 at a Padres’ game, Roseann spit and grabbed her crotch as she sang. R. Kelly butchered this sacred song at a boxing match. And in 2003 at Fenway Park, Michael Bolton actually stopped singing to consult his notes during the very same part that Christina messed up.

I’ll admit it, I’m (extremely) jealous of the Hollywood A-Listers’ lives. They have perfect bodies, perfect teeth, skin, boyfriends/girlfriends, houses and careers! Not to mention the loads of money they have from all of their hit movies/TV shows/albums/random endorsements (Proactive, anyone?). They get to live in exotic places, travel to even more exotic places, and never have to wear anything twice. Plus, they have people waiting on them hand and foot. Come on, just once I’d love to pass off doing my laundry to someone else.
But I’m beginning to see that maybe their lives aren’t total perfection. Yes, like Us Weekly tells us every Wednesday, stars really are just like us, and that means that they can have rough weeks too. In fact, their bad weeks make my “OMG, I have 3 tests and Gossip Girl isn’t on and I just tore my Sevens when I was doing my post-laundry lunges!” week seem like a walk in the park. Read More »

Leave it to our favorite celebrities to keep giving us more. It seems everything happens at the same time after a dull week and frankly we were overwhelmed just going through it all. This week we’ve had some break ups, an engagement, and a possible escape. We can always rely on Hollywood to give us something to talk about. But what else is new?

[Welcome to Celebrity Chic on the Cheap in which our style guru takes a celebrity look and breaks it down for you, our poor college fashionista. What does that mean? It means that while the celebrities are spending $5,000 on an ensemble, you don’t have to. All you have to do is click on the goods and - boom - you can buy the entire ensemble. Yes, we know - there is a spot for her in heaven.]
I’m an unabashed Xtina lover. She snagged me with “Reflections” (yes, I took it all the way back to Mulan), and I’ve stuck with her through her various musical and aesthetic reinventions, from the dirty to the vintage to the futuristic.
What I’ve always admired about Christina, besides her stellar voice and her ability to redefine catty and alienate her peers is her personal style. She is not one of those celebs we’re likely to catch bumming around in slouchy sweats and stained shirts (I still love you, Britney!). Even when she’s strolling around L.A., she’ll elevate a casual tank top + leggings look with interesting accessories and sky-high heels. Read More »

I hate to say this, but there should be a rule against speaking enforced for celebrities that are still in their teens. Really, it’s not for anyone else’s benefit than their own. Think about it: When you were 13 or 14, how many dumb and stupid things did you say before you realized you sounded like an immature brat? We’ve all been there, but luckily for us, the limelight wasn’t shining on us like a menacing stage-light monster.
Our teenage years are all about making and learning mistakes, but teenage celebrities always seem like they’re suffering from long-term mouth diarrhea. Whether they’re talking about saving themselves before marriage….Hello, Ms. Britney, or comparing getting photographed by the paparazzi to getting raped, some of these celebrities teens should just apply duct tape to their mouths until they’re 21.
Don’t believe me? CollegeCandy has compiled a quality list of quotes from teen celebs. And sadly these are the most intelligent things they’ve said so far: Read More »

Young girls sobbing, clawing out at a stray shirttail, an errant sleeve, or maybe a baggy pant leg. They shake with excitement and shout “I love you!” at the top of their lungs as the object of their affection passes by. They are eternally grateful for even the smallest sign of acknowledgement, clinging to a wink or nod as a shipwrecked sailor might to floating debris. Think I’m exaggerating?
As you read this, hundreds of Twilight fans are camping outside the Nokia Theatre in L.A. waiting for the red carpet premiere tomorrow…but most of them have been there since Monday! Clad in Team Edward/Jacob t-shirts and waving blankets that depict the stars emerging from moody shadows, these loyal vamp lovers are holding their ground only to maybe score a wristband that allows them inside. What happens if they’re denied? Sadly, it’s back into their cars and on to home where they’ll have to wait for the nationwide premiere like everyone else.
Or what about the Christina Aguilera fan who just purchased 250 copies of the singer’s CDs? In an effort to simultaneously “save Christina’s career” and take down Perez Hilton, who has lately been badmouthing the diva more than usual, the title of crazy superfan has found a new owner. What makes this one person think they can actually have an effect on a huge star’s career? Why would he even want to spend all that money on a favor that will never be returned? Oh, and don’t give me that, “Her music is a favor I can never repay” type crap. Xtina doesn’t care about you.
And who can forget Britney Spears’ most loyal fan? Chris Crocker’s infamous “Leave Britney Alone” plea garnered nearly 32 million YouTube hits and became a sensation almost larger than Brit herself. He sobs, wipes his running eye makeup, and yanks his frosted tips out of his enraged eyes as he chastises America from under the privacy of his bed sheet.
Sure, these are extreme cases of Superfanitis, but this heightened awareness of celebrity culture and the undying need to be absorbed in the action is getting more and more common. Look at what happened when Twitter “un-trended” Justin Bieber or even when we here at CollegeCandy said Taylor Swift was overrated! (Editor’s Note: we seriously feared for our lives.)
People, why are you doing this? Are you completely off your rocker, or is there some justification for patiently and happily waiting in the rain just to catch a glimpse of someone who would never do the same for you? I must be missing something, because this unwavering devotion has become so common, it’s almost accepted as the norm. Do you feel more a part of these stars’ lives when you obsessively know their favorite food, color, and most private stories? If someone approached you on the street and recited the story of how that one time in the third grade you got pantsed in gym class, would you be a little horrified or would you want to marry that creeper and have a thousand babies?
Now, don’t think I’m above the fray. I love a good celebrity break-up or unplanned pregnancy just as much as the next Us Weekly subscriber, but I think there is a difference between peeking into celebs lives and throwing yourself at their feet begging for an autograph or picture. But such is life as a fan, and if you’re not willing to put your heart (and your dignity) on the line, you might as well step aside and make room for the truly crazy devoted.
