The Gossip Cheat Sheet: Hos, Skanks, and Models, Oh My!

Too lazy to peruse Perez this week?
Too busy to sift through all the garbage for the real gossip gems?
Wondering what Tiger’s been up to since he made that stupid speech last week?

Next to the food? Ew). Here’s your gossip cheat sheet of the week: the biggest Hollywood stories and, just for good measure, a little pinch of not-so-big Hollywood stories. Read More »


Super Geeked for Justin Bieber 2.0

A few monumental moments of my life are gradually developing: I will be graduating in May. I will be moving back in with my parental units. I will (hopefully) have a job that rakes in the cash money so I can proceed to move away from my parental units. I will no longer be a ‘college student’ and be able to justify casually drinking on the weeknights. I will turn the ripe age of 23.

And the Justin Bieber ‘My World 2.0′ CD will come out. Tomorrow in fact. And it’s going to be a good day.

I am at a place in my life where I can admit my foes, and honestly, J-Beebs has been a trending topic on Twitter and my mind for weeks now. Now, before anyone goes and yells at me about how he may or may not be a foot taller than a duck and twelve-years-old, hear me out. Read More »

8 Tried and True Ways to Get Famous Fast

I am sure a little part of all of us wanted to be famous at one point in our lives.  A little piece of my heart wants to sing on American Idol, design a dress for an Olympian figure skater (kudos, Vera Wang), or get insulted by Kanye West on live television.  Whichever way you put it, being famous does not seem that bad…but the getting there is tough.  Unless you are Justin Bieber whose ‘getting there’ involved a YouTube video and a cute haircut. Needless to say I am impressed.

But besides YouTube, there are other ways you can become famous in lightning bolt fashion. If you long to walk red carpets, get chased by paparazzi and rub elbows with Hollywood’s A-listers, take a little advice from these fameballs on how to get real famous, real fast.

Get Fat (Kirsti Alley, Kevin Federline)
It’s been a long time since the woman who found fame on Cheers and later stole my heart in Look Who’s Talking (one of my favorite adolescent movies out there) was the topic of pop culture conversation. That is until she got fat. Then skinny. Then graced the tabloid covers once again grasping a donut and looking into the camera lens with 10 double chins. And now Kirstie’s showing up on Oprah, starting her own weight loss line (??) and starring in, Kirstie Alley’s Big Life, a reality show about her quest to lose weight. Again.

Canadian CelebSpotting: Did You Know These Celebs Were Canucks?

With the Winter Olympics in full swing, all of the world’s attention is focused on Canada. And in addition to figure skating and snowboarding and skeleton (?!) a new Olympic sport has arisen—one that we plebeians can play from our couches!

I like to call it “Canadian CelebSpotting.”

All of a sudden, celebrities are coming out of the woodwork to display their native Canadian pride, and they’re popping up in travel advertisements, Today Show interviews, and in the audience at Olympic events. In addition to well-known Canadians such as Nelly Furtado and Celine Dion, check out which other personalities (should) know all the words to “O Canada!” Read More »


Embrace the Embarrassing

Aw! You tripped in the middle of the quad and a tampon sky rocketed into the public eye.  The ‘Lion King’ soundtrack on your iTunes popped up unannounced during a study break with the cutest dude in your class. You managed to spill fruit juice on your white blouse before a huge presentation.

I get the picture, embarrassing things happen to the best (and most innocent) of us.

But in a college world where things need to be taken pretty seriously, you have to love and embrace them!  Why else wouldn’t the word ‘embrace’ begin the same way as ‘embarrassing?’ Well, the first three letters anyway.

Really, embarrassing moments are so much more than a shot to your ego, they are an opportunity to laugh at yourself (and others) if the time is right. They bring people together. They show us as we really are at our most vulnerable. And, when you look back, they’re really, really funny. Read More »

5 Hollywood Hunks We Don’t Want In Our Beds

If we’ve learned anything from this whole Tiger Woods debacle, it’s that some women simply can’t resist the glory of sleeping with a celebrity. And who can really blame them? You put Chase Crawford in front of me and there’s no telling what I would do in order to get him undressed and into my bed. And if it takes heavy drugs and a blindfold, so be it.

In fact, I can say that for a lot of celebrities. A girl can dream, can’t she?

But the fantasy doesn’t extend to all of Hollywood. There are a few celebs that I would rather not have anywhere in or around my lady parts. For example: Read More »
