If you didn’t watch the Emmys last night, well I don’t blame you. With the exception of The Lonely Island plus Michael Bolton and company, there wasn’t much happening. Sure there were some decent jokes, but where was the pizazz and energy? I spent more time laughing at Michael Vick for getting taken down by the Falcons than I did at Jane Lynch’s punchlines. We agreed that if we ran the Emmys, things would have been a lot more exciting. Here’s what would go down if CC was in charge…

1. Justin Timerlake hosting: JT on Saturday Night Live is the best thing since sliced bread. He wasn’t even in The Lonely Island performance! Yeah he won the Emmy for Guest Actor in a Comedy Series, but I was expecting him to at least be there. JT was no where to be found. I think Jane Lynch was good, though I’d rather her played the host role as Sue Sylvester instead. You hear that Emmy Academy? JT for 2012 host!

2. Charlie Sheen and Ashton Kutcher throw down: While the MaSheen kept it classy like San Diego, it would have been pretty awesome to see a fight between him and Ashton instead of Jimmy Fallon vs. Jimmy Kimmel. Charlie is trying to clean up his act, but a shirtless Michael Kelso fighting over tiger blood would have been much appreciated.

3. Modern Family wouldn’t have won every.single.thing: I love Modern Family, it’s hilarious. But it was one of those situations where you start to hate that movie that wins all of the Oscars. Same thing. I’m not saying they didn’t deserve their awards, but I wanted to see some other shows get credit where it’s due as well. Read More »

We were all bummed when Fox announced way back in 2006 that we would no longer see the ridiculous antics of the Bluth family in Arrested Development because apparently no one understood their humor or something. I mean, the family runs a banana stand. Do you even need me to tell you that’s funny? Also, Michael Cera was chubby then, and it was ridiculously cute to watch him flirt with his cousin.

Anyway, there’s been a lot of talk recently (and apparently the rumors are true this time) about an Arrested Development film in the works. Seeing as this could possibly be the best idea I have ever heard, I’m pretty pissed that I didn’t come up with it myself. So that got me thinking, what are some other TV shows that would do great on the big screen? Read More »

How ‘Brokeback Mountain’ should have ended

I think it’s pretty clear by now that here at CollegeCandy we take our tv watching pretty seriously. We either love it, or hate it. (Or love to hate it.) We know what we like and what we don’t and we’re not afraid to say it. And when we’re invested in a show, we’re invested in a show. Like “oh-m-gee can you believe they finally kissed!?” invested.  So that’s probably why when our favorite tv shows take a turn for the worst it hits us so hard.

You know what I mean, right? When a show that you love to watch, wait for every week, suddenly somehow takes a turn towards crazy town with boring scenes, bad plot lines and characters with personality disorders? Sigh. It’s a sad fate, but it’s happened to the best of them.

10. The Jersey Shore. It’s only number ten because this show is far more entertaining than it has any right to be. It’s a train wreck, but it’s one that you just can’t look away from. But the things that make this show so enticing- namely the nights out at the clubs and the drunken brawls- have apparently been banned from season four to ensure that Italy appear in a positive light. So yeah, something tells me this show is on its way out.

9. American Idol. Season 10 was better than season 9. I’ll give them that. But really this show should have closed its doors the day Taylor Hicks was voted this country’s American Idol. Plus, Steven Tyler is fun and all, but without Simon there’s not a single judge that gives anything even close to an honest critique.

8. Gilmore Girls. I loved this show more than I’ve ever loved any other television show, but even I have to admit that its later seasons just didn’t measure up. Rory was transformed from a sweet but lovable bookworm to a college dropout and Lorelei married Christoper instead of Luke. We were supposed to buy that?

[Sarabeth here, back with some more jams to add to your iTunes library! Every Wednesday, I'm bringing you music suggestions - could be something new, old, hugely popular or fairly unknown -  to awesome-ify your collection.]

Spring time is officially here in Austin, TX, and with that comes South by Southwest, only the biggest music/movie/tech conference ever. I may not have a badge, but I do have a massive schedule of free parties and concerts for the next 7 days. And that includes a free show from one of my favorite bands, Matt and Kim!

So this week I figured I’d spread the joy and share my love of these two with their second (and my personal favorite) album, Grand.

About the Band:
Matt Johnson and Kim Schifino have been rocking out since 2004, with Matt on keyboards and Kim on drums. They have a DIY attitude towards their music and do just about everything when it comes to putting out their albums. If they sound familiar, it’s because they’ve been featured on Community, Entourage, and several commercials. Read More »

You know that scene in Get Him To The Greek when Aaron’s girlfriend says something to the effect of, “Omg I can’t wait to watch like 100 hours of Gossip Girl”? I laughed hysterically (It’s funny cuz it’s true!). David did not (for the same reason).

I don’t know about you guys, but when I get home after a long day of interning, working, and gymming, all I want to do is eat dinner and zone out to one of the thousands of Real Housewives or Say Yes to the Dress episodes I have DVR’ed. Unfortunately, my live-in boyfriend isn’t on the same page. Especially now that it’s baseball season.

Without our usual primetime lineup to veg out to (If you’re an avid CC reader you’ll know about my unerring obsession with Comedy Night Done Right), the pickings have been slim for couple-friendly shows.

Until Now. Enter this summer’s surefire couple-pleasing shows. Read on, DVR and get some popcorn ready. Read More »

Since I tend to write (and speak) about controversial topics, I know what it’s like not to be universally liked.  I suppose that’s what will happen when you publicly hate on flip-flops.  However, I don’t think I could ever sink to the level it takes to be disliked in Hollywood.  I mean, they like everyone there (see: Perez Hilton).  Except, of course, those select few that are so hard to work with and so up their own butts that it’s impossible to like them.

Naturally, that’s what will concern us for this week’s edition of the showdown.

Everyone has heard Christian Bale’s ridiculous outburst on the set of Terminator.  As a  method actor, he can get pretty intense.  I actually respect the lengths he goes through to get into character.  However, I’m pretty sure other actors have managed to get into character without distancing themselves from the cast and crew and blowing up any time someone distracts them.  Except maybe Jeremy Piven.  He’s not exactly a method actor, but he is arrogant and well on his way to being that creepy older guy at Hollywood parties.  It’s hard to compare these two actors, seeing how they operate in two completely separate spheres, but their shared bad reputations require some comments.

Let’s be honest, there is no one hotter in Hollywood right now than Adrian Grenier, Robert Pattinson (droooool), Gerard Butler and Jeremy Piven. I can’t even log how many hours I’ve devoted to watching/drooling/fantasizing/doing other inappropriate things that no one but me and my pocket rocket (and neighbor who lives on the other side of my very thin wall) need to know about.

Seeing these guys on screen makes my heart hurt, because I know deep down that never in my life will I have the chance to meet them, let alone see them in the buff.

But now I’m realizing that maybe I don’t want to. And maybe those boys aren’t quite as perfect as I once thought. In fact, they’re actually kinda gross.
