Jimmy Kimmel has deemed November 17th National Unfriend Day. Yes, he’s talking Facebook and he’s insisting that you don’t really have 763 “friends” in real life, so why should you online? Time to trim the fat, people!
Initially I thought this was a great idea. Eliminating all those random welcome week acquaintances and sophomore year World Civ group project people would be pretty great. I mean, seriously, who are these people anyway? Do I care that your sister just had a baby? Do I want to know what movie you watched last night with your mom? Should you be posting pictures of your new tramp stamp? Hell no.
But upon thinking some more, hitting that “unfriend” button could induce a sort of high. It would start with people you’ve never heard of, increase to the ones you shared a few classes with, and end when you’ve cut all online ties to ex-boyfriends and old hook-ups. Holy batman, you can’t stalk them anymore! You can’t see if their new girlfriend is prettier than you! You can’t know if they’re posting mysterious song lyrics that may or may not point to the beautiful moment you shared in the back of the bar last Thursday night when his hand was up your shirt! What have you done!?
While I don’t think you should skip this new holiday altogether, I encourage you to observe it with a modicum of restrain. Here’s a cheat sheet on who to delete now and who to keep around for a little longer:
We all know Reality TV is less than quality. And yeah, Rock of Love (especially that bus!) and For The Love Of Ray J are ruining the world, but it’s hard not to love those celebrity-based reality TV shows. Much like coffee, cardigans and chocolate chip muffins, I’m addicted. Whether it’s seeing how those people live or getting to know them in a different way, there’s just something about those shows that keeps me, and America, coming back for more.
Admit it: no matter how embarrassing it is, you can’t get enough of Tori and Dean or Giuliana and Bill. It’s fun to see how celebrities live, and what they’re like when they’re not all decked up on a Red Carpet repeating lines fed to them by their overbearing publicists.
Remember how surprised you were to see how almost normal the Osbournes were?
Or at how messed up Britney and K-Fed were? (…maybe that one wasn’t so surprising.)
Wouldn’t you like to get inside Oprah’s life? Or Ryan Seacrest’s? Or, OMG, Paula Abdul’s? Talk about TV gold! I’m giddy just thinking about it. (I may even have to upgrade to a bigger DVR if that last one is an option. Mine is already full with all of the Real Housewives….) But enough about my life long dreams; let’s see which reality shows the CollegeCandy writers would like to see. Read More »
Men have always ruled the comedy scene. From dynamic duos such as Laurel and Hardy, Abbott and Costello and Jay and Silent Bob to teams such as the Happy Madison boys (Adam Sandler, David Spade, Rob Schneider, Peter Dante, Allen Covert and Nick Swardson) and the Frat Pack (Will Ferrell, Ben Stiller, Vince Vaughn, Owen and Luke Wilson and Steve Carrell).
There are virtually no female comedic ensembles who can sell movies like these guys can.
In the stand-up circuit, men generally receive the biggest reception. Recently, I went to a stand-up comedy review that featured twenty comics in one night. Of those twenty, only three women took the stage. Three. WTF?
Women are pretty damn funny, so why don’t we get the same appraisal as men get? Films like Old School put the Frat Pack on the map, while the hysterical chick flick The Sweetest Thing flopped at the box office. The Wedding Crashers cast has people rolling in the aisles, while far too many people have never seen Christina Applegate, Cameron Diaz, and Selma Blair sing The Penis Song.
I took this assignment to cover the 5 Funniest Women out there, but quickly realized there is just too much talent to narrow it down so far. That said, what follows is my personal list of five of the wittiest women in the world, along with some honorable mentions. I welcome feedback, comments, and nominations, because I’m sure I’ve missed some ladies that can more than keep up with the boys. Read More »
The votes are in, and it’s clear: Sarah Silverman is, indeed, living out all of our dreams.
For those of you who haven’t checked YouTube or read gossip blogs or engaged in casual conversation, or, I don’t know, LEFT THE ISOLATED LOG CABINS YOU’VE APPARENTLY BEEN LIVING IN for the past several weeks, the story is as follows: Sarah Silverman gifted her boyfriend, Jimmy Kimmel, with a lovely music video entitled “I’m F*&king Matt Damon.”
It’s pretty much what you’d expect, although I think the sexually charged dance-off in the middle took us all by surprise. (Another surprise: brilliant, hot-as-hell Sarah Silverman is dating Jimmy Kimmel. Never has there been such a clear visual demonstration of the term “settling.”) Jimmy, not too shy to ride on his lady’s coattails, responded with “I’m F*&king Ben Affleck,” which may be the crowning achievement of his life to date, if only for the fact that it features a singing Don Cheadle.
Yet, singing Don Cheadle aside, most of you seem to feel that Jimmy has come out on the losing end of this deal. A recent CollegeCandy poll shows that, if given the choice, most of our readers would rather be making out with Matt.
Never have I felt such confidence in our readers. Read More »
Usually, I feel like Jimmy Kimmel could be funnier than he is. Sometimes I think it has to do with the fact that he’s dating Sara Silverman, who’s ratio of funny/not funny is about 40/60, other times, I just think it has to do with the fact that he’s on late night TV…and anything can make us laugh after 12:05.
Last night, however, Kimmel went above and beyond. He wasn’t only funny, he was awesome.
Why? Because he aired a video in response to Silverman’s “I’m f&*cking Matt Damon” Youtube phenomenon. And in this video response…well, let’s just say he got some of the best cameos ever (BRAD PITT, people!!), and was able to reaffirm Ben Affleck’s hotness.
