The Weekly Ten: Celeb Body Parts I Covet

Jessica Zaleski - UF — Mon, 27 Feb 2012 14:30:16 +0000

I am pretty happy with myself. It took three torturous middle school years and four years of high school full of insecurity to get me to the point where I actually like who I am and how I look (most days). But sometimes I see certain celebs, and I think, “I would kill for her (insert body part here).” I know celebs have stylists, personal trainers and hair/make-up people who help them look amazing, so it’s hard not to get jealous (because I can barely curl my own hair).

This isn’t a post about how I feel inferior to celebs and hate myself. This is about how I’m totally happy with my body, but if someone offered me Britney Spears’ stomach circa 2000, I would have no problem saying, “Yes,please!” So here’s to you hot celebs, you have the best body parts, and I may just have to kill you and steal them right off your hot bods.

Drunk Holiday History With Ryan Gosling

Alex - University of South Carolina — Tue, 20 Dec 2011 18:30:17 +0000

Once upon a time I was telling a friend of mine a story. It was a complex story. One involving many different people, location changes, shifts in time, a vortex of sorts, dark matter, dinosaurs, The String Theory and a pair of neon sunglasses I really, really wanted. No, I wasn’t recapping the sixth season of Lost, just my Sunday afternoon.

Somewhere around the twenty-minute mark and/or the fourth time I asked, “So, are you still following me?” my dear, wonderful audience-of-one looks at me and asks if I’ve ever watched Drunk History. Apparently (and I quote), listening to me recount my tale “was like listening to a person who just took six vodka shots to the face.” Psh, and to think I called this person a friend.

Anyway, long story short (I really love telling stories, apparently), this is how I discovered Funny or Die’s amazing web series Drunk History. If you aren’t hip to that historically-relevant amazingness yet, get with the program.

Just in time for Christmas, F or D released a new Drunk History video, featuring none other than Ryan Gosling, Eva Mendes, and Jim Carrey acting out the Night Before Christmas. Hold on to your bed caps, kids, and prepare to experience this classic Christmas poem as you never have before.

Celebrating Celebrity “Flaws”: Curvy Girls

CC Staff — Thu, 03 Jun 2010 18:00:02 +0000

Every day we’re bombarded with a million different messages about what we are supposed to look like. And tell you what, our not-so-scientific-yet-totally-accurate visual research proves that 99% of girls out there don’t fit the mold. So instead of telling you how to wear your hair, or how much weight to lose, or which one of Heidi Montag’s many surgeries to get (because, really, look where that got her), we’re going to celebrate these so-called beauty flaws with beautiful women every single week.

Last week we celebrated the natural nose. Today, let’s talk about curves.

It’s no secret that Hollywood likes their actresses to look anorexic-chic. But that doesn’t mean that all the women in Hollywood are conforming to that reasonable ridiculous standard. This week we’re putting on a spotlight on the curvy and voluptuous celebrities who haven’t let their bigger bodies stop them from having even bigger careers.

Maxim Says the Darndest Things: June Edition

Brittany - University of Saint Thomas — Tue, 25 May 2010 15:00:55 +0000

This weekend I drove home in my Ford; backseat packed to the brim with my college belongings, heart full of nostalgia from graduating college. And the first things I do upon arriving country side? Have a bowl of cereal, feed the milk to my cat and buy a Maxim at the local grocery store (priorities). Lucky for the entire population of American men, June marks the ideal month for the steamiest Maxim issue of the year: Maxim’s Hot 100.

Which also means the entire issue was sealed securely in a package so you can’t even look inside until you buy it. Naturally, I ripped that bad boy open immediately upon arriving home, grabbed a Pop Tart from my parents’ cupboard and got reading. Of course the most beautiful women on the planet (e.g. Blake Lively, Bar Refaeli, Eva Mendes, Marisa Miller, Katy Perry and many, many more) were sprawled out inside. I looked at my Pop Tart in agony and kept reading. For reasons unknown to the minds behind the list, Stephanie Pratt was also included. Maybe they felt bad about her blood relation to abominable snowman Spencer Pratt and his crystal fetish.

Other articles in the June issue included ’3 Rules for the Perfect Haircut’ which matched the man’s face shape with the perfect cut. Kinda cute. Another article featured a ‘how to’ on cooking a gourmet meal with what you have lying around in your body. I’m not kidding; it included ‘Hot Foaming Pee’ as the drink of choice. It’s OK, I’m a bit freaked out and don’t get it either.

Finally, my favorite article found its place in my heart called ‘You May Kiss the Bridesmaid.’ It is what it sounds like, folks: a guide to pull a Vince Vaughn/Owen Wilson from Wedding Crashers. The article features what to say when picking up chicks at a wedding. Rule #1: Never leave a fellow crasher behind. I could giggle at Wedding Crashers quotes all day long but let’s look at what Maxim had to say:

Maxim Says: To hot, single bridesmaid: “Being a bridesmaid seems tough! Wanna go smoke this joint that has just enough weed for two people?”
Brittany Says: I feel like Michael Scott would say something like this to try and look super cool. And it wouldn’t work.

Maxim Says: To the Catering girl: “Do you have any extra helpings of meat? No? Do you want one?”
Brittany Says: Oh dear. The classic pick-up line regarding meat. Because (haha!) they don’t mean, like, the meat on the silver platter! They mean…the other white meat. How clever! Do you see my point? No one is going to be flattered, gentlemen, or turned on.

Maxim Says: To the nondenominational wedding officiant: “How ’bout I make like Pontius Pilate and nail you?”
Brittany Says: Can I admit on here that I actually laughed at this? Then, my conciseness sucker punched me. If you want to snag this particular wedding attendee of your dreams get punched in the throat, this will work wonders.

Maxim Says: To the former high school crush: “Remember ninth-grade biology? Ha-ha-ha, let’s have sex.”
Brittany Says: Remember when you didn’t go to college and currently live with your parents? Ha-ha-ha, let’s not.

Golden Globe Fashion: Our Fave Bits and Pieces

CC Staff — Mon, 12 Jan 2009 13:39:32 +0000

OMG. We didn’t realize how much we loved the Golden Globes until we sat – popcorn and cookies in hand – and watched all the stars strut their stuff on the red carpet last night. There were so many good looking and talented people in one room; we would have given anything (yes, including our extensive bag collection) to be there. Hell, we just want to try on Beyonce’s necklace.

The Red Carpet was fantastic. Fitted dresses were all the rage, highlighted by gorgeous accessories. Cocktail rings were everywhere, along with blingin’ brooches, hair clips and necklaces. And let’s not forget the best (and most prevalent) accessory of all: major cleavage.

Below are a few of our favorite (and most trainwreck-y) bits and pieces from the evening. Sure, the overall looks were breathtaking, but it’s all in the details, right? A little bling here, a little ruffle there. And, of course, Drew Barrymore’s hair. I mean, come on, girlfriend. That hair? Is she auditioning for Hairspray?!

Kirsten Dunst to the Media: “f*ck Off, I’m Depressed!”

Abigail - Emerson — Thu, 29 May 2008 15:30:55 +0000

First it was Lindsay Lohan saying her rehab stint was due to exhaustion, then it was Eva Mendes supposedly going in for research, now Kirsten Dunst is blaming her trip to detox on depression. Is this the true story or just another celebrity crying wolf?

In February, Dunst checked into Utah’s Cirque Lodge Treatment Center, the same facility that housed Lohan and Mendes, after several pictures of her looking trashed surfaced. Dunst told E! Online that she was “struggling” and said: “I had the opportunity to go somewhere and take care of myself.”

A source close to Dunst (whatever the hell that means) told PEOPLE Magazine that drinking wasn’t the source of her problems, but that “She couldn’t control her depression.” When Dunst first went to rehab, another friend told the mag that she’d “been crying a lot lately.” Maybe she’s depressed because she’s surrounded by friends who’ll sell her secrets to a tabloid for a few quick bucks? Just a thought…

In a recent interview, Dunst told E! that “Depression is pretty serious and should not be gossiped about.” Seems like she’s being pretty honest, right? Depression is a serious affliction that, according to the National Institute of Mental Health, affects about 30% of women in the U.S. But her excuse comes into major question now that pictures of her with a black eye were snapped on the set of her new film All Good Things. Was this the result of a bender? Or is she so depressed she punched herself in the eye?

I’m going to guess it was the former.
