The value of the love letter

Marc Anthony and Jennifer Lopez, Russell Brand and Katy Perry…the latest celebrity couple that’s hoping to be added to the recently divorced is model and Project Runway host Heidi Klum and singer Seal. You know, the perfect couple that was supposed to last forever and gave us all hope for love, love’s divine. Well, not anymore, since Heidi is set to say “auf wiedersehen” to her husband after almost seven years of marriage.

According to TMZ, Heidi Klum will file divorce papers in L.A. County Superior Court as early as next week. Of course, she’ll be citing celebrities’ most common reason for divorce, “irreconcilable differences.” It’s really hard for me to even think of what these two can’t work out and will have to put their three biological kids and Heidi’s eldest girl (from a prior relationship) through an unfortunate divorce.

So Heidi went to the Golden Globes without you last Sunday, Seal. You two were just gorgeously vacationing in the snow together, according to your Twitter, Heidi!

Besides, Heidi, you fell from him hard when you met him in back in 2004. Remember when you told Oprah about seeing Seal for the first time…in bicycle shorts? ”I met him in a hotel lobby in New York City and he came in just from the gym and I was sitting there and I was, like, wow,” Klum said. ”And I pretty much saw everything. The whole package.” Think back to the good times and hold on!

Seal hinted at the divorce on his own Twitter account, sadly typing, “The End.” to his followers. It just got real, y’all.

We’re sad to see you two split. Honestly. Gonna go listen to “Kiss From A Rose” on repeat for the rest of the day now. Where’s my pint of ice cream?

Ashley is a UC San Diego grad who is holding on way too tightly to a potential career in magazines and goes to Vegas all too often. She’s fascinated with celebrities and strawberry beer and doubles as a pathological texter/emailer/blogger. Feed the addiction with tweets @cashleelee. Thanks in advance.

Celebrities have a tendency to dabble in endeavors they really should just leave to the pros. Think Hilary Duff and serious acting or Taylor Swift and any form of acting, period. But sometimes certain celebs find other niches that show off their other fabulous talents.

Enter celebrity jewelry lines by Nicole Richie, Kim Kardashian, Heidi Klum, Molly Sims and Kate Bosworth. These ladies have a great eye for jewels. From statement pieces to the perfect pair of hoops, these celebs utilize their personal style to create some truly stylish pieces.

Looking for a little extra something to add to your wardrobe? A piece from one of these lines’ will absolutely do the trick!

Celebrities are notorious for going all-out on costumes for parties. So by the time  Halloween rolls around, it’s game on. They get seriously extravagant. They have money to burn so they get crazy. I love watching celebs dress up in clever costumes versus getting super slutty sexified. It’s a nice change to see that they have a sense of humor instead of just showing their assets.

I can’t wait to see what they’ll come up with this year. We’ve rounded up some of our favorite celebrity Halloween costumes for your enjoyment…

The other most offensive part of this cover is the fact that somehow, Heidi Klum, a professional supermodel, looks ridiculously plastic on the cover. Like, really, Heidi Klum has to be airbrushed to almost unrecognizability for the cover? I don’t think so. (Naturally, every inside photos looks phenomenal.) Already so much poor judgment and I’m not even 10 pages into the magazine yet. As I flip through, I’m bored by the mostly uninspired fashion advice – denim dresses are in no way sexy. Stop perpetrating lies. Eventually, I got to the column written by “Jake,” Glamour’s version of The Dude, and this month, he’s giving us insight to why guys have problems with commitment.

Glamour says: Need for newness.
Jasmine says: Or an immature perspective based on a childish need for your partner to be a distraction from your dull existence.

Glamour says: Fear of tears issues.
Jasmine says: I’m all about avoiding getting hurt/hurting others as much as possible. That said, actively blowing off someone you’ve been dating because you’re “scared of getting hurt” is cowardly. Incredibly disrespectful. Rude. Not to mention, hurtful to the person you’re dating.

Glamour says: Daddy issues.
Jasmine says: Obviously, our relationships with our parents play a huge role in shaping the kind of people we grow up to be as adults, and I’m sure that men who have extraordinarily wonderful or extraordinarily awful fathers are terrified of not living up to their father’s legacy, or following in their father’s neglectful footsteps. That said, we all have fears and baggage to overcome, and that is part of being a functional, fulfilled, happy adult who doesn’t cultivate a reputation for being terrible at relationships.

I don’t know about you guys, but I’m tired of talking about Lindsay, Britney, Speidi, Mel, and the rest of those knuckleheads. This week involved a lot of court dates and things with those crazies, but I wanted to focus on the rest of Hollywood instead. Because, contrary to popular belief, there are other things going on, both exciting and sad. So come on in; the water’s fine in Tinsel Town.

Hot tubbin’

1. Comedian Greg Giraldo passed away after a prescription drug overdose put him in a coma. Greg was in a coma for five days until he was taken off life support. Reports say it was not a suicide. A memorial is planned for Friday in New York at the Governor’s Comedy Club. Our thoughts are with his friends and family during this difficult time.

2. Titanic actress, Gloria Stuart, passed away this week at the age of 100. So sad, this lady was awesome. She was the oldest woman ever to be nominated for an Academy Award for her role of Rose in Titanic. Our thoughts are also with her friends and family.

3. Dr. Ryan, who sadly passed away in an accident on Pacific Coast Highway, is having a plastic surgery scandal. His rival surgeon, Dr. Gary Motykie, is trying to get Dr. Ryan’s former patients! Apparently, some of Dr. Ryan’s staff went over to Dr. Motykie’s office and patients have received emails offering Dr. Motykie’s services. Awkward much? Imagine having some doctor email you saying he’ll do your boob job. Well, people are pissed! Although sharing information is allowed for medical purposes, it’s still kind of weird.

4. Our favorite silver fox, Anderson Cooper, is getting a daytime show! He’s going to be hosting the new show starting next fall. It’s going to focus on all kinds of things ranging from pop culture to social issues. Sounds pretty interesting A-Coop, but honestly I’ll watch anything with your beautiful face on it.

5. Emma Watson vs. Kristen Stewart? Think again. Early reports this week claimed that Kristen is super jealous of Miss Watson because she and Rob are rumored to be filming a movie together. Sources said that Kristen was really jealous because Rob and Emma have a lot in common…like their accents. Well, Emma denied it today saying the reports are “absurd and totally fabricated.” Still, we wish it were true. RPatz needs a classy lady.

Lukewarm Bath

1. Miranda Kerr stomped down the Balenciaga runway five months pregnant and fabulous! Only she can pull that off.

2. Heidi Klum retired from Victoria’s Secret. Sad face. The “Body” retiring? Who’s next?! Brett Favre? Maybe? Bueller?

3. WTF is up with Robert Pattinson’s beard?

4. Glee’s Britney tribute episode brought in over 13 million viewers on Tuesday! Yowza, that’s their highest rated show to date! Could it be the Britney phenomenon, or was it Heather Morris’ amazing performance/abs?

5. Not a sexy photo, but even better: Justin Timberlake rapping with Jimmy Fallon.

The blonde bombshell walks away from Victoria’s Secret.

What weird sh*t did Lady Gaga wear now?!

Should tall girls wear high heels?

It seems the Situation might have a situation in bed.

Because it’s Friday. And this is really freaking cute.

"I shoulda gone with the crotchless bottoms. Vajayjay shots get way more press."

Those who follow Heidi Montag’s tweets know the girl can say some pretty bizarre stuff.  And chances are you’ve caught a glimpse of her in action either in the latest tabloids or on The Hills (RIP).  Her one-liners are worth 10 plastic surgery procedures in one day a million bucks, and her rational is simply priceless.  Watch out, though.  You better not take what she says at face value, lest you fall into the PR trap that (for better or worse) is Heidi Montag.

Luckily, I’m fluent in TwoFacedFameWhore, the rare language indigenous to Speidiland, and I’m here to provide a little light…

Heidi tweets: “@LaurenConrad you were so right! Spencer is soooooooooo (Writer’s Note- there were a lot of Os; I didn’t feel like counting them all)ooooooooooo sucky!!!”
Heidi means: “I miss the days when it was just you and me, Lauren.  When I was on a show with steady ratings and had an attractive boyfriend who gave me a small dog for Christmas and…huh, wonder whatever happened to the dog.  Oh well!”

Heidi says: “My boobs are crushing me.  My body’s still getting used to them and I have major anxiety about it.”
Heidi means: “Maybe getting these behemoths removed will get me another People Magazine cover.”

Heidi says: (On plastic surgery) “I won’t get anything done again.  At least not for a long time.”
Heidi means: “Eh, I’ve got an appointment next month for a little touch up.  But *nudge, nudge* that’s just between us.”

Heidi says: (On plastic surgery.  Again) “I still can’t believe I’m 23 and mom is reacting this way. I’m nervous to go home and face her – especially with cameras rolling.”
Heidi means: “Please let her hit me.  Please let her hit me.  Please let her hit me.  The cameras will love that.”

Heidi tweets: “Crying“
Heidi means: “Binge eating and throwing up.”

Heidi tweets: “Cleaning the house and getting rid of my old life, it feels good to live fresh”
Heidi means: “Throwing away the effing crystals. Fingers crossed some paparazzi go through my trash tonight.”

Heidi says: “‘I love my boobs, but I still want to improve. I didn’t get them as big as I originally wanted,’ she said, adding that she wants to go up from her current cup size to an H cup — ‘for Heidi.’”
Heidi means: “I just want people to be able to see them from space.  Or on Google Earth.  I hear Google’s kind of a big deal.”

Bonus round!

Audrina says: “She said she wanted to be the next Octomom! I was like, ‘Heidi, no you don’t!’”
Heidi’s (probably) response: “Wait, you can’t just go to the store and buy babies?  Like, I might have to get fat?  Wow, I’ve really gotta think if this stunt is worth another round of lipo.”

Snooki says: (About Heidi) “I will punch her in the face because I don’t like her. She had too many surgeries. She looks like an alien and guidettes don’t look like aliens, just saying.”
Heidi’s (probably) response: “As long as you let my camera crew film it, I’m down.”

Today’s a big day, people.

Not only is it National Lasagna Day, but tonight’s TV schedule boasts two major season premiers: Jersey Shore (So fitting, right?) and Project Runway!

If you, like me, don’t have a DVR to record the high-drama and hot messes both shows provide, it can be difficult picking where to get your fill of “reality” from. But don’t start stressing just yet. I’ve put a lot of thought (it’s embarrassing how much thought…) into weighing the pros and cons of spending tonight with the juiceheads on Jersey Shore or the token straight guy who talks sh*t about the token flamboyantly gay guy on Project Runway. Perhaps I can be of some assistance:

The Situation’s Muscles vs. Tim Gunn’s Suits
Is this one even really a contest?  While The Situation’s buff bod was a shocker at first (with that face, who knew those abs were under there?), the novelty has since worn off.  He flaunted those things on the red carpet, all over MTV, most parts of America…just make it stop!

Tim Gunn, however, never gets old.  And neither do his fabulous suits.  I fall asleep at night wondering whether he’ll do a tone-on-tone shirt and tie combo or spice it up with a nice pinstripe.

Tim for the win every single time…why can’t all men have his style?

Snooki’s Accent vs. Heidi’s Accent
Watching our favorite Oompa Loompa let the F-bombs fly as she speed talks and waves her acrylic fingernails in the air is one of my guiltiest pleasures.  The fact that I’m from New Jersey and know real-life people (only a few) who ramble a mile a minute with the same amount of passion and cursing only makes it that much more satisfying to laugh at.

I absolutely love Heidi crushing people’s dreams of fashion stardom with her austere German accent.  Only she can manage to look totally friendly while aufiderzein-ing contestants week after week.

I’m going to have to vote Germany over Jersey on this one. Sorry, Snooks.

Down-the-Shore “Fashion” vs. Inevitable Boring Couture Creations
Seeing as how JS has moved to Miami, it’ll be interesting to see if JWOWW still sports cutout spandex dresses or if she just won’t bother covering up at all.  But do we really want to see all she has to offer shoved into a bikini top and short-jorts as she grinds in the strobe light?

On the other hand, are they going to make the designers create something out of nothing again?  It was cool the first time watching burlap sacks turn into ball gowns, and even when they did it again using just plain muslin.  But really?  One more bubble skirt and I’ll get violent with the TV.

Tie.

Boardwalk Struts vs. Runway Walks
Or should I say “boardwalk stumbles”?  We all know what happens when you put Snooki in four inch heels and make her walk over uneven wooden planks.  Not exactly smooth sailing.

Meanwhile, watching models strut their stuff down the catwalk makes me rethink the bag of chips that may or may not be open next to me as I watch.

One should never feel guilty for eating delicious Sun Chips.  Snooki wins this one.

Final Tally: Project Runway- 2.5; Jersey Shore- 1.5

Looks like you know where my vote lies when it comes to premium reality TV watching. I guess I’ll just have to catch up with Jersey Shore later tonight….or tomorrow….or the next day….or during any of the 416,782 reruns that MTV shows this week.

Feel like swaying my mind? Weigh in below.

Happy Mother’s Day!

Well, most likely not to you, but to that fabulous woman who pushed your giant head out of their little birth canal raised you, taught you, loves you and continues to support dollar pitcher nights you. She’s pretty fantastic, right? Of course she is, and that’s why she deserves those flowers/breakfast in bed/coupon for a “day free of doing the dishes” because you’re too broke to actually buy her something.

But she’s not the only awesome mom out there. (Duh, have you met mine?) We’ve been exposed to lots of really rockin’ moms in our lifetimes, and CollegeCandy is going to count down the bombest 7.

In no particular order, the 7 moms we’d want as our own (if, you know, we didn’t already have some pretty rocktastic mamas):

Heidi Klum

Not only is she an awesome hands-on mom, but she’s an awesome hands-on mom and does it all. Including walking in ridiculously tall, obscenely gorgeous heels. She produces a TV show, she designs jewelry, she looks smokin’ hot both pregnant and not pregnant (even though we haven’t seen much of the “not pregnant” in the past few years) and despite pumping out a whole litter of children, she still looks way better in a bikini than my never-been-preggers body ever will.

Stiffler’s Mom

OK, so I don’t want her as my mom (ew), but I do wanna be her one day.

Mrs. Nefler

This Beverly Hills diva was dealing with a terrible divorce and still found the time and energy to give up her life of luxury and be her daughter’s Girl Scout troop leader. I know I was praying for her to be my mom when she took the girls to camp out in a hotel, beat those evil Blue Feathers at their own stupid game, and invented that genius camping backpack that doubles as a clothing rack!

Gwen Stefani

Much like Heidi, Gwen is one hot mom. She pretty much reinvented the whole idea of “mom style” (no unflattering butt pockets on this woman’s jeans) and proves that you really can do it all. Plus, have you seen her kids? They’re both well under 5 and way cooler and hotter than I’ll ever be.

Lorelai Gilmore

Come on, did anyone watch Gilmore Girls and not want Lorelai as their own mom? She was so cute and quirky and cool. And she always had hot boyfriends. (OK, so maybe that’s not really a “cool mom” factor, but it’s still true. Girlfriend had it going. on.) Plus, she and Rory had the best relationship (and witty banter!) ever, something every teenage girl wants for her very own.

Mrs. George

Mrs. George: [serving the Plastics fruit drinks] Hey, you guys! Happy hour is from four to six!
Cady: Um, is there alcohol in this?
Mrs. George: Oh, God, honey, no! What kind of mother do you think I am? Why, do you want a little bit? Because if you’re going to drink I’d rather you do it in the house.

Nancy Botwin

Like most moms, Nancy would do anything for her family. Unlike most moms, Nancy’s “anything” includes selling a whole lot of pot. God, I bet those family dinners are awesome.
