Of all the award shows (what are there, 74?), the Grammys is my absolute fave. Unlike the Emmy Awards or the Oscars that get really boring after awhile, the Grammys are chock full of awesome performances from the best artists of the year. It’s like my dream concert made better by the fact that I get to watch the whole thing on my couch… with a tube of cookie dough.
And last night was no disappointment. Well, maybe the whole Chris Brown/Rihanna sitch – lord knows I would have loved to see her performing. Coldplay and Jay-Z? Katy Perry? Al Green and Justin Timberlake? Our homegirl, Jennifer Hudson?
I was dancin’ in my living room. Yes, cookie dough in hand.
And the red carpet wasn’t too shabby, either. It definitely kept me on my toes. I don’t know what it is about this particular award show, but people really like to think outside the box with their fashion choices. I saw way too many origami-inspired dresses, not to mention the weird thing that Paris Hilton decided to sport. And the guys weren’t much better. I mean, I know Coldplay was performing but did they have to wear those costumes all night? You didn’t see Katy Perry rocking the sparkley Chiquita Banana outfit on the Red Carpet…
Below are some of the more….er….interesting fashion statements from the Grammys. I mean, who really thinks a giant bow should be placed directly over your lady parts?
I don’t know, friends; I just don’t know. At least it made for some exciting TV, though. (Click on the picture to get a glance at the whole weird-lookin’ ensemble.)Read More »
[Every weekour style guru takes a celebrity look and breaks it down for you, our poor college fashionista. What does that mean? It means that while the celebrities are spending $5,000 on an ensemble, you don’t have to.
All you have to do is click on the goods and - boom - you can buy the entire ensemble. Yes, we know; there is a spot for her in heaven.]
I don’t looove Kim Kardashian (I still don’t understand why she’s famous?), but there are a few things I do love about her.
1) Her badunkadunk. More, how she flaunts it, dresses it and embraces it.
2) Her step-brother, Brody Jenner. Mmmm.
3) Her show. I know – I can’t believe I said it either, but it’s funny. You know, in that “this is so ridiculous and it makes my family look SO normal” sorta way. Just don’t tell anyone I watch it; I’ve got a reputation to keep here.
4) This outfit. It’s simple. It’s classy. It’s flattering to all body types. And it’s easy to copy. All while saving up some extra Benjamins for the weekend bar trip.
Here’s this week’s celebrity chic on the cheap: Kim Kardashain Looks cute Covered Up! Read More »
I like boys. A lot. But that doesn’t mean I can’t admire a lady from time to time. Even though I want to snuggle up with a boy at the end of the night (or afternoon), I still find myself developing crushes on some ladies. Not “OMG I wanna do you right now” crushes, but more like “If I were a guy, you would totally be my #1″ sorta things.
And I’m not alone. Unlike men who get weird just brushing against another dude, we ladies are able to admire and look at (and even makeout with) other girls without a problem. We can talk about another girl’s great boobs, or how hot she looks in a dress without thinking twice. Lots of girls have girl crushes, so this week I asked the CollegeCandy writers which lady could get them to switch teams.
And I gotta say – we have really good taste.
Erica – Kent State: Helena Bonham Carter, but only as her character Marla Singer from Fight Club. Yum.
Elisabeth – UA Huntsville: Eliza Dushku. She rocked on Tru Calling.
S.E. – Fordham: Megan Fox. ‘Nuff said.
Lauren – University of Michigan: Amy Poehler. I have a thing for funny girls. And maybe I could use her to get to Will Arnett?
Sarah – East Carolina University: Milla Jovovich. She kicks ass and looks fantastic doing it. Read More »
Ok, so we all know that big booties drive men crazy. I mean, look at the effects of celebrities like Kim Kardashian, J. Lo, and Beyonce have on any warm-blooded male. But as it turns out, having an apple bottom can also help prevent certain diseases.Studies at Harvard Medical School showed that having a bottom-heavy body shape can help prevent Type 2 Diabetes. (Editor’s Note: Looks like I’m safe from that… forever.) Fats stored in or around your fine a$$ help make better use of insulin, the hormone that regulates blood sugar.
Researchers say it’s not so much where the fat is stored, however, but the kind of fat stored in the booty, which proves that not all fat is bad for your health.
Well amen for that! My brother’s been teasing me about my rather large badonkadonk for as long as I can remember. I used to hate it since he insisted it needed its own area code, but I like to consider it one of my better assets these days. And the one thing keeping me healthy.
Looks like having a fat ass isn’t all that bad. I think Sir Mix-a-Lot said it best when he said “Shake it, shake it, shake that healthy butt.”
(We’re back with another weekly installmentof G.W.W.E. [Guys We Wanna Eff]. What better way to close the books on 2008 than with a man who’s coming out on top…with a new show, that is. Here’s to hoping Brody Jenner will be coming out on top of us someday soon! )
Shameful, I know, but I can’t help but salivate (and have naughty dreams) when Brody Jenner is around. Just a quick glance at his pedigree should have any hot-blooded female’s heart racing: he’s the son of Olympic decathalon champion Bruce and stepbrother of smokin’ Hollywood siblings, the Kardashians. Which means there’s no mystery where that rock-hard bod comes from… and you know he can keep his cool in the company of ladies. The dude has, like, 12 step-sisters.
Our film-fanatic friends might say, “two thumbs up!” But as yours truly says, “Eff me!”
While his dad and stepsisters strut their stuff with their own reality television show, Brody has achieved reality stardom in his own right. He made his first reality whoring appearance on the Princes of Malibu. (Yes, that show actually existed. Yes, I actually watched it. Yes, he looked effable.)
Then, obviously, he made his way to The Hills, where he dated Queen Bee LC for a spell. I can’t say I was dismayed when that ended. (Note to Ms. Conrad: You’re much more fun to watch when you’re just wearing hot clothes and sunbathing all the time. Once you start dating guys I wanna eff, I turn off my TV in disgust. Capisce?)

A big, comfy sweater is definitely a must-have this winter. It will keep you warm and looking chic, unlike a baggy hoodie. Kim Kardashian and Kate Hudson, above, look cute but casual, the perfect look for heading to class or shopping. Jessica Alba dresses the look up a little by adding a belt and tights.
In order to pull off this look, however, make sure that the sweater isn’t TOO enormous. You don’t want to look like you stole it from your grandpa’s closet. Buy a sweater that is meant to be oversized or go one size up from what you would normally buy.
Here are some stylish oversized sweaters. Click the picture to visit the store’s website. Read More »
Have you ever noticed this pattern that Disney has created of breeding teenage pop queens only to have them turn around and become like whoa sexy?
Let’s start with those Mousekateers we all love so much. I mean, how cute were Britney and Christina? Then out of no where they become pop sensations, vamp up their wholesome styles, and become sex icons for many a-teenage girls..and boys. I’ll tell you what though…they did a damn good job with Justin. (yum!)
Years pass, and a new group of young actors take over the Disney scene.
Enter Vanessa Hudgens. So cute, so talented, soooo naughty. She made it big with High School Musical and then to all of our surprise, pictures of Hudgens posing NEKKID start popping up. Might these pictures have been for her oh-so-hot boytoy Zac Efron? hm.
Then of course there’s Miley. The adorable, raspy voiced teeny bopper became the idol of millions of little girls all over the world with her hit show Hannah Montana. From there, her singing career took off (I definitely had a couple rock out sessions to “See You Again”). In 2008, little Miss Miley caused some controversy with her sexy photo shoot for the cover of Vanity Fair. Was she too trying to break the girl-next-door image that was bestowed on her by Disney?
The most recent Disney girl-gone-wild is Cheetah Girl, Adrienne Bailon. Pictures of her posing in a bra…and nothing else surfaced on the internet. The pictures were supposedly stolen off her computer and meant for her boyfriend, Robert Kardashian (yep, Kim’s bro).
Maybe Disney has forced these girls to be wholesome and innocent and they rebel with over-the-top sexiness? Or is it that Disney has nothing to do with it and these girls are just being girls?
Season 7 of Dancing with the Stars is underway with a plethora of “stars” whose dancing abilities are, well, not that hot. Granted, that is part of its entertainment factor, but I must say I was absolutely shocked at how un-sexy Kim Kardashian is — at least when she’s dancing.
Don’t get me wrong, I love Kimmy K, she’s like #1 on my girl crush list, but during her mambo routine last week with partner, Mark Ballas, Kimmy showed that even though baby’s got back, baby can’t shake it. For being the sex symbol she is, I’m surprised she can’t shake the ass that made her so famous.
I mean, when 62-year-old Susan Lucci generates more sex appeal in a dance than Kim Kardashian, something’s just not right. Personally, I’m pumped to see what happens on tonight’s episode. I hope Kim can redeem herself.
