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 »

There has been a bit of discussion recently among our writers over whether or not our favorite celebrity dudes are circumcised or uncircumcised. Now, before you ignore the larger issue here and ask why the hell they’d talk about such a bizarre thing — just accept that they tend to let our minds wander and conversations drift from time to time.

Now, back to it. There are strong opinions when it comes to penis…uh…styles (can I say that? does it sound weird?). Imagine if you were one of those girls who was all like, “Gah! What is that? Pause while I WebMD this sitch” every time she came across an uncut dude. What would you do if your ultimate celeb crush came along, totally DTF, and he was sporting more than you bargained for? Would you tell him to move along? Or would you gamely explore foreign territory?

While we can’t coach you through the make-it or break-it moment, we can give you the dirt on who has an elephant trunk in their pants…and who doesn’t. Before we reveal the answers, though, see if you can guess what each of these men are working with… Read More »

Okay, I’m all for showing off your loved one but I feel like all the time, err, sometimes people just take it too far. The end result is that your really cute kissing picture with the sunset behind you looks like something my 18-year-old sister would smack on the wall of her college dorm.  Then she and all her friends can dream of finding a love like that. Oh, boo.

I think it’s time to face it, America: we love corny! Since the season of love is drawing nearer and nearer (don’t blame me, John Mayer wrote a song about it) [Editor's Note: Best JM song ever] it’s time we reflect on all the corny ways you’re going to throw your obsessive relationships in the faces of all your single besties.

Keep the puke bucket nearby…. this could get ugly. Read More »

Today is John Mayer’s birthday, and while we can’t personally go to his house to tell him “Happy Birthday!”, we can tell you how to get your own personal John Mayer. Spotting the John Mayers on your campus is easy if you know what you’re looking for. Not every guy is going to be a six-foot-four-inch John Mayer look-a-like, but they can have some Mayer traits.

So keep your eyes peeled girls, this is what you’re looking for:

Let’s face it; dating a famous musician seems incredible. Exotic vacations, freebies, notoriety…basically what everyone dreams of. But after looking more closely at the candidates to fulfill that dream, I have found some duds. Whether they’d write a song about your break up to the fact that they’d steal your eyeliner, here are 10 famous musicians that aren’t worth the freebies and private jets. Read More »

Celebrities will do practically anything to keep their names in the news these days. If their album flops or their movie doesn’t do so well at the box office, they turn to the world of expose’ memoir books, VH1 reality shows, trashy clothing lines, and tweeting multiple times per hour. Some of them even go as far as to reveal some disgusting, shock-worthy story about themselves just to gain a page in the tabloids this week (yes, I’m talking to you, Florence Henderson). Even though they seem to try a little too hard to stay relevant, I’ll be the first to admit that I can’t get enough of these people.

Do you think celebrities share too much about their personal lives, or maybe you think they don’t share quite enough? Who’s your favorite celeb to stalk via Twitter?

Maybe it’s because I’m done with finals and I have nothing to worry about. Maybe it’s because all of my favorite TV shows are going on hiatus. Maybe it’s because I zoomed through my blogs too quickly this week, but I have to say, I’ve come to a sad realization.

Celebrity scandal is dead.

Think about it. There has been absolutely nothing of interest going on in the world of celebs these past few weeks. Why is Hollywood so quiet? Even Charlie Sheen has been MIA.  Has it finally happened? Has Hollywood finally imploded? Has the well gone dry? Have they run out of stupid things to do? For my sanity, I hope not. Celebs, I beg of you, please continue to entertain me with stories of your crazy.

Please?

Sigh.

Maye a little inspiration will help. Let’s remember some of the greatest celebrity scandals of our time.

Okay, so I don’t know if you ladies have heard the news, but apparently Sean Penn and Scarlett Johansson are actually dating, which really just makes my skin crawl. I mean the girl is legitimately half his age. It’s weird and it’s creepy. And since I am forever grateful that Scarlett let go of Ryan Reynolds so we could some day find each other and be together, I felt it my duty to at least point that out.

But in the process, their creepy crawly relationship got me thinking about all of the other creepy celebrity couples I’ve encountered over the years. And, well, there were actually quite a few of them. Ugh, my stomach is churning. Read More »

2010 was a year of infinite life lessons, courtesy of celebrities everywhere and impeccable tabloid coverage. Whether you realized it or not, high-profile snafus paved the way for your own indiscretions- showing you what works…and what’ll land you on the cover of Us Weekly next to a salacious headline.

Feel like you missed the message in some of the more important low points of the year? Well pay attention, because here’s a cheat sheet on cheating…and lying…and boozing…and… Read More »

Just last February, I was planning my 21^st birthday party. Now, I’m facing 22 (or as I like to call it 21+1) straight on. Even though the last twelve months have gone by, it feels like just yesterday I was indulging in jello shots and margaritas. For my 21st. Because just yesterday I was indulging in jello shots and margaritas.

Looking back, though, much has happened in the past year. It seems I’ve learned a lot while Ke$ha put a dollar sign in her name and started brushing her teeth with a “bottle of Jack,” John Mayer proclaimed that he is on the search for “the Joshua Tree of vaginas,” and the Jersey Shore became a national phenomenon.

So here (in no particular order) is what I know for certain after turning 21. Perhaps you youngsters can take a few things from this:

1. Friendships should make you happy — not pissed off : Friends should be so much more than people you dance on tables with and dish about the weekend to. They should be there for you, and you should be there for them. They also should not steal your alcohol on your 21^st birthday and make out with the fraternity guy, all while puking as your boyfriend helps take care of them.

2. Raincoats are amazing: They are often understated and overwhelmingly overlooked when it comes to fashion. But even if they aren’t fashionable, really, you can’t complain when that slicker keeps your from frizzing. Without a rain jacket I wouldn’t have made it through the summer in London. And I think it actually kept me going to class this past semester. Why didn’t I realize this sooner? It doesn’t matter if you have a basic from Lands End or a super sexy trench from Dillards, just get one!

3. Go to the gym: Surprisingly enough, it is worth your time. Who knew? I sure didn’t, until I started going religiously with my boyfriend back in September. If you actually go to the gym and do more than hang out on the treadmill and elliptical for thirty minutes, you can see results. Plus, it teaches you patience on so many different levels.
