Red cups?
Grilling out?
Outdoor tippy cup?

I’ll take it. And it’s about time. With graduation looming, college students are taking in the beautiful weather (around a beer pong table) and ending the final semester with an outdoor celebration.  I love this time of year – half of the student body is playing ultimate frisbee in the quad (please note: guys. shirtless), while the other half is tossing bags in their front yards.  And let me tell you: it’s a rough life but someone’s gotta live it.

So before we all escape the library to bask in the sun (and catch up on this week’s Glee), let’s look at a week that was:

- If there was a reward for ‘Biggest Douche Bag,’ this frat boy and his crazy rating system would win. We don’t even think Kanye would stand up to argue.

- Speaking of douchiness, we looked at the douchiest ways to dump someone.

- We worried about all the change, change, change coming for college seniors. Read More »

It all started during the seventh season of American Idol. I was sitting on my couch covered in Tostitos crumbs when a young man by the name of Jason Castro took the stage under the American Idol spotlight and made us swoon with his rendition of Hallelujah.  If you don’t remember him, something is wrong with you he’s the one with the luscious dreadlocks, piercing eyes and shy demeanor that knows his way around a microphone and a guitar. It was such an amazing performance that even Simon Cowell was moved (and you know you’ve succeeded when Simon gives you his blessing).

While Jason didn’t make it all the way to the end (and David Cook did? WTF?), Idol wasn’t the end of the road for this songster (I think I just made that word up…). Jason’s spent the last two years working on his own music and is finally releasing his self-titled debut album tomorrow (Tuesday, April 13th)! Lucky for me, I got a little preview.

The album is poppy yet soulful, upbeat yet heartwarming. It’s perfect for background music while you’re studying, or giving you some much needed energy at the gym. It’s exactly what you’d expect from Jason Castro (like that sexy voice) and so much more. And if finally having new music from my favorite Idol wasn’t awesome enough, I also got the chance to have a little chat with the dreamboat behind the music. What’s his secret? Girl’s jeans.

Admit it—despite the shame you feel for doing so and the batches of brain cells that you know wither away every time you flip on the television dial, you watch American Idol.

Even if you’re not proud of it.

The firestorm surrounding Paula Abdul’s faux pas during the judging of the songs last week was the maraschino cherry atop a growing scoop of evidence, commentary, and accusations that the show is rigged or that, at the very least, there’s some serious funny business going on behind it.

So instead of judging Idol for being Idol, why not simply ridicule it instead?

The folks over at the clever site Vote for the Worst are doing just that.

Since their humble beginnings in 2004, VFTW has supported the clear and admirable mission of endorsing the most entertaining performers on American Idol—who, funnily enough, are also often the worst singers. Sanjaya Malakar was VFTW’s darling during last season of Idol and arguably the show’s most entertaining contestant EVER. I am secretly in love with Sanjaya and viewed his awesome performances every week as the height of comedy, so I jumped on the VFTW bandwagon then. Read More »
