If you happen to be a celebrity (I mean, it’s a possibility), you should probably watch your back. Why? Because on March 29th, Punk’d is back on MTV. Ashton Kutcher is still the executive producer of the show, but he has handed over the hosting responsibilities to young celebrities like Justin Bieber, Miley Cyrus and Kellan Lutz. And there’s a long list of celebs who will be made into fools on national TV – Taylor Swift, Zac Efron, Lauren Conrad, Snooki, and more.

Is Punk’d still going to be funny? Have they run out of tricks? Only time will tell. But to celebrate the return of the prank show, we’ve rounded up the 12 best Punk’ds of all time. Check it out. Read More »

If there is one thing I love about a new year (it’s only February, so it’s still new-ish), it’s new music! Some of the artists that I’ve listed below, have kept me waiting/hoping/praying for years for them to release new full-length studio albums. I am getting antsy! From John Mayer to JoJo, there are tons of new albums that are rumored to being released in 2012, and I cannot wait. I need a serious break from listening to a LMFAO song every 30 seconds on the radio.

So I’ve compiled a list of 10 bands/artists that I am pumped to have pumping through my speakers over the next 12 months. Enjoy! And if I missed any that you’re really looking forward to, let me know! Read More »

Tis the season to love boots!

When I go to class at 8 a.m. wearing no makeup, I don’t look good. It’s not fair that some celebrities look amazing even without makeup. They get to be a celebrity!

Why do they get to look good with no makeup on?? I’m so jealous. And I want you to be jealous too. So here, just take a look.

Sometimes when people tell me that I should unplug my chargers when I’m not using them, or that I should not run my A/C as much as I do (I live in Florida!), I just brush it off. I understand and care about global warming and climate change, but it seems like such a big thing that nothing I do will help. BUT GUESS WHAT??? Climate change could ruin Starbucks! I’m going to start unplugging everything in my apartment because I don’t know what I’ll do if I can’t get my Java Chip Frappuccino in 20 years.

While we all know that college students rely on Starbucks to get them through all-nighters and early science labs, celebrities reply on Starbucks even more. I can’t go a day without seeing a paparazzi picture of some celebrity sipping through a green straw. What are these celebs going to do if climate change kills Starbucks? Maybe then their maids will have to make them coffee. GASP! Read More »

Singing is a sensitive topic, and very few of us can really do it. Once, my best friends attempted to ban me from singing in the car… rude.

The issue is that some people use their fame to jumpstart a singing career that should never have even popped into their pretty little heads. Not everyone can make the seamless transition from acting to singing sensation like Jennifer Lopez (props girl!). Take a gander at these lovely ladies who sang, but really shouldn’t have. At least their career flops have resulted in hilarious music videos with some pretty terrible dancing. Bless their hearts.

Attention, ladies. I’ve got big news.

Reese Witherspoon is launching her own fragrance.

…

Okay. So I guess the news wasn’t really that big of a deal after all. I mean, what celebrity doesn’t have a fragrance these days? No, really, what celebrity doesn’t? Reese Witherspoon is actually the 465th celebrity to ever do this. That’s a lot of celebrities and definitely a lot of scents, which has gotten me thinking: How exactly do they create these scents? What are the ingredients? They must be relevant to the celebs themselves, right? You know, to set them apart. Well, if that’s the case I’ve got a few ideas on what must be in each of them.

What would be in your signature scent?

For those of you not in the know, Demi, the only Disney star who can really belt it out, just got out of rehab. And you’ve got to hand it to the girl – she has played the classy card the whole time and hasn’t really capitalized on her inner turmoil (cough Lindsey Lohan cough cough). Today, Demi even sent a heartwarming video to her fans letting them know she’s ready to get back to work and that she wants to help other people and blah, blah, blah.

That’s all well and good, but what about Disney? You know, that company that sent her (and many starlets) on her downward spiral? What are they saying?

Nothing. Obvi.

But maybe it’s time. And I’m not talking about some boring press release or a statement from the top. Disney should do what they do best and turn their curse into TV gold. I can see it in my DVR scheduled recordings now:

Rehab: Not Another Song and Dance

The main character, a psychic girl who moonlights as an AA counselor, played by Demi Lovato, takes the show on twists and turns that will keep the audience guessing her next move. Will she smoke Salvia with her best friend? Is she going to fall off the wagon after 9 months? Can she help other Disney stars resist the urges and temptations that come with having to act like a 14-year-old and sing cheesy songs on TV? Read More »

Hilary Duff wrote a book. Yes, not only does she sing, act, design clothe,s and generally rule the world, she has also decided to write books. That is a business-savvy girl if I’ve ever seen one. Total marketing genius. I was a bit hesitant when I picked this one up – even if her book was garbage, it would still get published and be a hot-seller, just based on her name. Despite my skepticism, I’ve decided that this year I’m going to be more open-minded when it comes to books and read something just because I think it looks/sounds good. And I am WAY too curious to see if Hilary Duff really can do it all.

“Elixir” is a teen fiction and is the story of Clea Raymond, a successful teen photo-journalist (yes, unlikely) and daughter of a famous senator. Her surgeon father has mysteriously gone missing in Brazil on a humanitarian mission and assumed to be dead and Clea is still coping with the loss. The book begins when she is in Paris with her best friend, Rayna. At the end of their trip, there is a fire in a building where Rayna is and Clea spots a strange man lurking around the scene. Rayna is unharmed in the fire and Clea is so distracted by her that she forgets about the man. However, when they return home, Clea takes a look at her pictures and notices that in each one, the strange man from the fire appears. Clea is shocked and finally shares this secret with her friend/bodyguard, Ben. But to Clea’s surprise, Ben isn’t shocked. It turns out that this mystery man has been showing up in photos long before this most recent trip: he’s been in photos of Clea since she was born. And Clea’s father has been trying to figure this out ever since. His search led him to the mythical Elixir of Life and it may be the missing link in his disappearance. This new discovery leads Clea and Ben on a journey to Brazil, to hopefully solve the mystery of his disappearance and also figure out who this man is and how he is linked to Clea.

I have to say I was pleasantly surprised by this one. Sure, paranormal teen fiction is having a bit of a moment right now thanks to Twilight, but I still liked the story and found it to be fairly unique. The character of Clea reminded me a lot of Hilary Duff: driven, determined, employed from a young age, etc. But she was well-developed and didn’t do anything shocking or out of character. And I also loved the chemistry between Ben and Clea. Sure, predictable, but he was a super cute, caring boy and made me go “Aww” more than once.

Remember back in 2004 when everyone (after we had pledged our allegiances to Team Jen or Team Angelina) had to choose between Team Lindsay and Team Hilary? For awhile, it seemed like Lindsay was the winner. I mean, sure, Hilary was down-to-earth, had multiple multi-platinum albums, a wildly successful TV show (what, don’t front like you didn’t watch Lizzie McGuire), and had a successful movie career. She did everything Miley Cyrus is doing, minus the questionable photos and the untamed nature. But Lindsay had the real holy grail (Mean Girls, obvs), and soon, it was Hilary who?

Six years later, Lindsay is…Lindsay, while Hilary still has clothing lines, a book deal, a stable relationship (who put a ring on it), and no one would ever think of including her in their celebrity death pool. Not only has she transitioned from Disney teen queen to grown woman without taking a trainwreck detour, she has done so while cultivating a simple yet chic personal style that reflects her seemingly low-maintenance, easygoing, approach to life.

Team Hilary for the win. Read More »
