It’s been a rough week. Not only did we realize that we’ve suddenly got mountains of reading to do, but we also found out that drinking more doesn’t actually cure a hangover. We’ve also got swine flue worries, toxic friends, and the Kanye West-Joe Wilson battle for Biggest Douche of the Year to deal with.

Most ridiculously of all, Vh1 is trying to convince us that Miley Cyrus is a diva. Come on, guys! Divas don’t sing songs with titles like “Party in the USA” or have a close, personal relationship with Mickey Mouse. No offense, Miley.

There are a few bright spots on the horizon, though. As always, Fashion Week provided us with some grade-A escapism. Whether you’re knocking boots with a special someone or saving up your v-card, we had you covered. (One piece of advice for all the virgins out there—when you do decide to lose it, head over to Washington, D.C. You’re welcome.)

Best of all? If you can prove how much you love College Candy, you might just win a snazzy new laptop. Seriously!

So cheer up, everybody. It’s Friday! Throw on a pair of camouflaged sweat pants, breathe a sigh of relief, and go out and make some bad decisions this weekend. It’s all uphill from here.

Although some of us – cough cough, College Candy, cough cough – are more accepting than others, I think most of us can agree that Kanye West is a jackass. And leave it to President Obama to tell it like it is in an off-the-record comment in a CNBC interview yesterday. Who knew Obama had such a potty-mouth!

But while Kanye has apologized not once, but twice to America’s sweetheart, Taylor Swift, there is another heckler in our midst who has been flying under the radar and is seemingly un-remorseful.

Republican representative Joe Wilson channeled his inner 5^th-grade bully when he shouted out “You lie!” to Obama during his speech on health care reform to Congress last week. (Which isn’t being discussed 1/3rd as much as Taylor-gate.) I guess it’s asking too much to expect a little maturity from our lawmakers these days. Read More »
