Maxim Says the Darndest Things: January Edition

What better way for Maxim to start off 2012 than to have J-Woww gracing the cover? Because nothing says relevant and timely quite like a Jersey Shore cast member. Oh, wait, it’s not 2010 any more. Regardless, JWoww looks kind of really comfortable and sexy while embracing the super sleazetastic Maxim aesthetic.
Flipping through the pages, I was inundated with dead eyes, slightly parted mouths and an absurd amount of sideboob. I get it, all boob is sexy, but some angles are sillier than others. Naturally, every man in this magazine was fully clothed and allowed to have an actual facial expression. Typical. And the relationship advice… oh, what a wreck and a complete and utter waste of paper. Ladies, did you know that as long as men buy us things, we’ll completely forgive them for being thoughtless and disrespectful losers? And that if guys cheat on us, we’ll let it slide if they buy us puppies? Because nothing says love like gifting someone an animal that they’ll have to potty train.

The real gem of this issue, though, is a country-by-country guide to all the countries men should go to for various sexual endeavors. Yes, it’s just as objectifying, reductionist and utterly terrible as it sounds. Read More »


Jersey Shore: A Guide To The Extended Cast

Surprise, surprise: Thursday’s season five premiere of Jersey Shore collected a million viewers less than the first episode of last season, when the cast was in Italy. Some people argue that they’re sick of watching these same eight people, I argue that there’s too many extraneous characters to keep track of, especially if you’ve just tuned in…seriously, everyone looks incredibly similar!

Don’t worry, this will clear everything up. Meet all the extra people that keep stealing the airtime away from Sammi Sweetheart, The Situation, Snooki and the rest of the original cast. Once viewers are all up to speed, these guidettes and gorillas will remain on the air as long as the Kardashians do!

5 Reasons Why I Still Watch Jersey Shore

Attention all guidos and guidettes: Jersey Shore is back! And even if we hate to admit it, us non-Jersey folk are just as excited. Snooki, Sammi, Vinny and the rest of the gang are back on the air January 5th with the premiere of their fifth season (which boggles my mind). Now, I know some of you are probably rolling your eyes and writing me off as a valuable source for entertainment recommendations, but hear me out! Jersey Shore may not have any intellectual value, but it is extremely entertaining. And if anything, you can watch these people get drunk at the shore and make complete fools of themselves and feel better about your own life! Yay!

It’s hard to believe they are already on their fifth season, but people (myself included) will definitely tune in to watch. If you’re still not convinced that this show is worth an hour of your time, allow me list some reasons why it is. Read More »

Our New Year’s Resolutions For Our Favorite Celebs

It’s about that time of the year when people start reflecting back on the year — the good, the bad, the ugly. We usually take those moments of greatness and not-so-greatness and try to learn and grow from them by making New Year’s resolutions. Now, we all know how hard it is to actually stick with a resolution past, like, January 2nd, but I feel that celebrities have a better chance of sticking to their guns with the help of personal assistants, trainers, chefs, life coaches, etc.  With this notion, I can’t help but wonder what Lindsay Lohan and J.Lo are planning to change or work on in 2012. (Maybe going away? That’d be nice.)

So I’ve compiled a list of 10 celebrities and their imaginary (but likely) answers to the simple question, “Hey you, what’s your New Years Resolution for 2012?”

Nice Guys are Douchebags Too

We’ve all met them. Guys who appear to be nice, wholesome, respectful-of-women types, and then they do something awful. Maybe it’s a guy you were BFF with and totally adored, but he friend-zoned you and told you he wasn’t looking for a relationship, but then was dating a super hot girl two weeks later.

Or maybe he’s like one of these guys who we all thought were okay until they pulled a super douche move and got the world to hate them.

1. Ashton Kutcher

We fell in love with his prankster sense of humor when he did Punk’d and made Justin Timberlake cry. I thought it was sweet that when he married Demi Moore, assumed the step-dad role and appeared to be good at it. Now he’s apparently cheated on Demi and they are getting divorced. What were you thinking Ashton? She’s a hot cougar! Read More »


My 10 Guiltiest TV Pleasures

Let’s be honest here, I’m a college student, so I’m not going to watch 60 Minutes (unless I catch the end of it because I’m waiting for Big Brother to come on). I’m going to fill my DVR with trash, just like I do with my body, mind and garbage can.

These shows are 100% guilty pleasures that I would NEVER admit to watching ALL THE TIME.  If someone walked in on me watching any of these shows, I would probably pull the whole, “OH THIS OLD SHOW?? I JUST HAVE IT ON FOR BACKGROUND NOISE! I SWEAR!”
