Every few weeks a celebrity rider makes the rounds. And every time it makes my mouth drop open. I get it. They’re super rich and super famous and can make ridiculous demands. But even so, sometimes the demands get a little too ridiculous. Like WTF, mouth on the floor, ridiculous. Like, at what point do you feel comfortable putting it in writing that your lamps need to French ornate style!?!
Also, slightly unrelated. But Stair vs. Stare. Who wrote this?
Thanks to Amy Grindhouse for revealing Katy’s carnation hatred!

There are about a million of celebrities we would like to see in their underwear. And don’t get all, “ugh, you guys are gross and objectifying men” because you know you’re drooling on your keyboard right now just picturing Collin Egglesfield in a pair of boxer briefs. It’s OK, I am too. [Wipes mouth.]
But of all the celebrities we would want to see strip it down, we got stuck with Russell Brand. And home boy isn’t even sporting some Michael Jordan Hanes.
He’s rocking the tighty whitey look. Outside. Spread eagle. Checking his texts.
There is so much wrong with that statement that I’m not even sure where to begin.
And it doesn’t help that Mr. Perry is in one of those awkward files. You know, the pile of celebrities we just can’t decide whether they are attractive or not. Like, he’s got some nice features (his eyes are nice, his teeth are straight and he’s got the skinny thighs so many girls dream about), but is he sexy or scary? Is he hot or not? And would he be as hot without eyeliner the gorgeous Katy Perry on his arm?
Look, it’s Monday and these are the things I think about, OK? I mean, it’s either this or my History final, and in the grand scheme of things, I’d rather think about Russell Brand in his undies than what happened in 1896.
So what do you guys think? Is Russell Brand a tightie whitey wearing hottie?

If you’re not already back you’re probably very, very close to heading back to school by now, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. I mean there are only so many movie marathons you can watch, so many hours you can sleep, so many fights you can get into with your younger sibling before you realize it’s time to head back to school. That’s all well and good. It’s not the beginning of the semester I’m opposed to. It’s the beginning of classes.
I’ve had a fun few weeks, full of productive days that involved sleeping until noon, catching up on the new season of The Bachelor, and trying to determine the real reason Taylor Swift and Jake Gyllenhaal broke up. So I really don’t have time for pesky things like classes, and homework, papers and projects. There are so many other things I’d rather be doing. In fact, now that I think about it, there’s not much I wouldn’t rather be doing than starting classes…
10. Go a week without internet access. If you knew me at all you’d know this is big. Very big. I don’t think I’ve gone 24 hours without internet access, never mind an entire WEEK. It would be pure, unadulterated torture for me to go a week without updating Twitter, Facebook stalking or checking my favorite blogs (Looking at you, CollegeCandy), but I would do it if I meant I didn’t have to go class. I really, really would.
9. Spend some quality time with my professor during office hours. Yes, I would. I would make awkward conversation with my professors in their creepy offices with their creepy things if I didn’t have to listen to them lecture. I would dodge questions about the lack of progress I’ve been making on my thesis, and suck up so they’ll write me awesome recommendations letters. Just don’t make me go to class.

2010 is officially coming to a close and what a year it’s been in music! This year presented us with an awesome array of new artists, re-introduced us to some ones we may have forgotten about, and of course, left some songs in our heads we wish we would never have to hear again.
So let’s take a look back and rock out to the 20 biggest songs of 2010. (It’s like my own little Grammy’s!!)
Some of the biggest names to enter the pop scene in 2010 include B.o.B, Bruno Mars, Mike Posner and Taio Cruz. All of them were hot able to make big names for themselves by earning multiple slots on the Billboard charts with huge hits like “Cooler Than Me.” It was a nice, refreshing change to the usual women of music (Ke$ha, Lady Gaga, Rihanna, and Katy Perry) who seemed to constantly and incessantly rule the airwaves (and YouTube – I’m lookin’ at you, Bad Romance!). And while everyone was going goo goo for Gaga, I’d say Katy Perry was the real queen of pop this year, immediately releasing three megahits off her new album, Teenage Dream.
The music scene was also shaken up by the comebacks of huge artists like Eminem, Usher, and Train who all reminded the world that they’re still alive of who they are and what their music is all about in a big, overplayed way. In addition, we got to hear all different assortments of collaborations from the relatively-unknown-artists-at-the-time, B.o.B and Bruno Mars with “Nothin’ On You,” to the massively famous, all-star duo of Eminem and Rihanna on “Love The Way You Lie.” What probably startled the pop scene the most this year, however, was Lady Antebellum’s, “Need You Now.” I’m not sure I can think of any other recent country song (other than all of Taylor Swift’s, of course) that’s received that much airtime on pop radio stations.

Apparently while we’re still polishing off Thanksgiving leftovers, Hollywood’s already gearing up for 2011. And they just announced the first pot-stirrer of the New Year: who’s nominated for February’s Grammy’s…and who isn’t.
Big Turkey Sandwich with All the Fixings
1. The full list of 2011’s Grammy Award Nominees has been announced. And guess who’s leading the pack with noms? Uh, Eminem. Following him with the most are Lady Gaga (duh), Jay-Z, and Bruno Mars. Because none of us are sick of hearing “Love the Way You Lie” and “Bad Romance” on the radio…
2. Oh no. Could it be? A preggers Jessica Simpson? Well, I guess that would explain the expedited wedding plans.

Well, I’m just gonna give it to you straight. Despite having some great music to jam out to, this past month was a rough one. Besides having to cut back on the excessively unhealthy and inappropriate lifestyle I’ve become so accustomed to leading in college—to face the inevitable reality of returning home for the holidays—my favorite site to download music was shut down. Pushing aside my own concerns and complaints for a second, though, I’m pleased to inform you it was not, however, a rough month for music in general.
Like I raved all about last time, phenomenal artists came out with albums last month. Kanye West’s album, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, and Nicki Minaj’s, entitled Pink Friday, are really the two big ones to pay the most attention to and give a full listen as soon as soon as you get a chance. They’re both nearly flawless, in my opinion. If you happen to have some sort of inexplicable resentment or animosity towards either one or both of them, I’m sure you’ve found it nearly impossible, at this point, to avoid hearing them somewhere or another. Not only are some of the tracks from their new albums already topping the charts, but Nicki and ‘Ye are also being featured in nearly every other popular hip-hop song out there right now. They’re basically the unofficial king and queen of hip-hop these days. Thus, unavoidably, (and to my great satisfaction) they’re also all over this month’s playlist. Read More »
