Sadly, some of our favorite childhood boy band studs…that we fawned over and fantasized about marrying…have fallen from grace. We know not everyone is Justin Timberlake (or Trousersnake as Amanda Seyfried calls him) and therefore can’t transition out of the boy band life. He managed to become a successful actor, hilarious host of SNL and bring sexy back at the same time. Few others have done as well as JT, which is pretty depressing. I mean, we hoped these Bieber forefathers would stick around until we were old enough to be with them. But, that dream is gone.

Case-in-point: Lance Bass created a boy band called Heart2Heart that has just released a video for their song Facebook Official. Yeah, it’s not a joke. I sincerely hoped it was. Our favorite boy band members are just embarrassing themselves all over the place…

initiating the gallery...

Elizabeth Hasselbeck had to eat her McCain/Palin words.

Pretty soon, AT&T will own damn near everything, including your soul.

Military uniforms make great women’s fashion for the fall.

Ever thought Barack, Michelle, Sarah, and John would appear on TV together? Well, South Park got them together in a jewelry heist.

Boy bands are all the rage and ‘NSYNC’s Lance Bass wants in on the action.

Having lots of sex? You may need this.

California has disappointed most, especially Ellen.

Want to sing in the rain? This umbrella has you rockin’.

Sexy Scarlett Johansson to wed? Perhaps!

This look is from the Nautica Fall 2007 collection…show your boyfriends!

Bright and early this Wednesday morning, fashion’s bleary-eyed elite (and me) invaded New York’s Bryant Park for Mercedes Benz Spring 2008 Fashion Week.

Phew.

My first stop? Nautica.

I know, ladies. It’s not a women’s line, but trust me when I say that my report on this specific show is worth it.

The theme? Hot male models with no shirts on.

Okay, no. I’m no fashion maven so to me the theme was a kind of bathrobe/bathing suit/sports jacket thing. But fashionable nonetheless!

If this collection was any indication of what’s to come for men’s wear, expect to see your best guys wearing the following:

Those Ray Ban sunglasses every celeb has been sporting all summer? Expect to see these classic frames everywhere.

They aren’t just sunglasses anymore, clear lenses make these frames totally wearable 24/7.

Vests, vests, and more vests. Nautica was all business. That said, don’t expect your boy to don cufflinks next spring. It was complete desheveled organized chaos.

Bathrobes. I know, weird, right? They were all over the Nautica runway! Perhaps I’m just not interpreting what the label was going for, but I don’t think it matters. Bare-chested Ken doll look-alikes were pairing robes with nautical (of course) swimming trunks which were fitted to the body…but not in a Speedo kind of way.

Fashion-wise, boys are going to be expected to look groomed and put together (aren’t they always?)…that is if you know a guy into the preppy look.

You know who’s into the preppy look? Lance Bass.

I know because as I was scanning the crowd I was suddenly taken aback by a mass of orange amongst the alabaster faces of native New York show-goers. And there he was, Princess Frostylocks.

Here’s the rundown:

He was orange. He was wearing all black (how positively chic of him!). He was sitting next to a bubbly looking blonde who kept giggling at all of his little comments throughout. He was staring at all the half-naked models (it’s okay, I was too). He looked pretty gay.

All in all, he was like, the one celebrity there amongst, what looked like, every important fashion-man in the universe. And I can’t lie, all I kept thinking was if it was 2000 I would have been sh*tting my pants. Alas, it is not 2000, and my pants are fine. I guess after storming the world boyband-style the last thing left to do is score some fashion show tickets and work it. Which he certainly did, with permanent scowl on his face and everything!

What a bitch.

Lance can have his model boys…as long as I can keep looking.

Up next: L.A.M.B. and Venexiana tonight!

See you later with a full report this evening!

I miss Zac.

So, you can imagine my surprise when I opened the New York Post this morning and lo and behold — there he was!

Well, not him…Vanessa what’s-her-face. But his name was there, fully bolded right there on the newsprint. What for, you ask?

It looks like Zac and his super-fake girlfriend have turned down one million dollars each to star in Disney’s upcoming High School Musical movie.

You may argue it’s because Zac and Vanessa are like, totally growing up, and will be pigeoned-holed by Disney forever if they don’t leave now!

You may argue that Vanessa has an album coming out soon and she can’t be bothered by any more HSM bullshit.

But you want to know what I think is going on here? It’s happening! Zac and Vanessa are on the outs, people!

First, no High School Musical movie. Next, Zac won’t show up to Vanessa’s album release party in LA. Finally, pictures of Zac and Lance Bass will surface at all the coolest gay clubs in NYC.

This isn’t speculation people…this is just me relaying the obvious. Although, if Zac wants to make his gay debut ASAP…he should take my advice, and go with McConaughey.

Zac Efron has fans. And some of them may have rabies.

Given the obscene amount of comments (perhaps the most CC has ever received on one article? At least with the most spelling mistakes) connected to my first blog about this 17-year-old sugar coated star, I’m a little afraid to have another go.

But what the hell. I’m a troublemaker.

According to half a dozen angry rants, I don’t know Zac at all, he’s an amazing actor, his body just oozes hotness, and anyone who comes close to insulting him is wasting the world’s time—because he is loved by all.

So here’s what I did. I held my breath, typed his name into Google, and ventured out onto the Internet Superhighway to find out about all things Efron. Would recent pictures prove to me that he is indeed hotter than the sun? After reading a few interviews, would I be convinced of his supposed saintly goodness? And would I ever find out who Vanessa Hudgens was?

I’ll tell you one thing, wax figure or not, Z. Efron has got more websites devoted to him than Jenna Jameson (approximately. I didn’t actually do the math). He has certifiably grabbed the Tween market in two well manicured hands, and as long as he’s attached to Disney and stays away from the coke, seems destined to make little girls weep from joy for years.

But as a 24-year-old woman, I still don’t get it. I just don’t. And you know what, I don’t think I’m supposed to.

Most of this boy’s fans are young enough to be completely baffled by grammar, innocent enough to become enraged over a blog that may or may not defame him, and immature enough to miss the real gist of what my initial argument was. These girls (and boys?) are young, and just the way my generation was fooled by Lance Bass, and the generation before that by George Michael, they haven’t the experience to understand why some might consider their blessed Efron…less than manly.

Who knows if this newest Disney cherub is gay? And really, who cares? He’s rich, he’s obviously talented enough to garner attention, and will either mature like DiCaprio or fizzle out like Haim.

So abrasive, spelling-deficient Efron fans, let’s agree to disagree, alright? Go ahead and love a boy who can’t seem to grow facial hair, and I’ll go on thinking he spends more time getting ready in the morning than I do.

“Wanna go bowling tonight?”

“Dude yea! Let’s pregame!”

“We should go see that new horror flick guys.”

“Hell yea, but it’ll be ten times scarier if we smoke the herb first!”

“Putt Putt?”

“Tequila!”

So if anyone can understand why there has been an outbreak of drunk astronauts, college kids take the cake:

“Ready for take off?”

“We got a couple minutes, man. Finish the flask”

Hollywood never called dibs on juicy scandals, so NASA decided to join the fun. Controversy has broken out when a recently published article in an aviation mag exposed NASA for allegedly sending astronauts up into space whilst wasted. Yes, you read right, sloshed, hammered, intoxicated. Houston, we have a problem.

The media had a field day over LiLo’s beaming collection of DUI’s (well-deserved, obvi), so what about these suspected cases of LWI? (Launching While Intoxicated!) Well, NASA attorney claims it’s just another case of so-called, “spacial profiling.” Damn him for beating me to the punch, since I don’t think I could have ever come up with a more clever term. Explaining that astronauts are “different” than normal Americans, (???) Apollo attorney claimed that they were simply being discriminated against, feebly attempting to illegitimize the issue.

I mean, I guess it’s a good thing there’s not much they can bump into up there, but since when is launching a spaceship a good last stop for your weekend bender? Should NASA be worried that pretty soon, like in 10-9-8-7…sober liftoffs will become just as extinct as sober Friday nights in my freshman dorm?

Understandable, that NASA’s become a bit more lenient ever since Lance Bass decided he wanted to ride a rocket (I’m sorry, it was too easy) but this is a little much.

Sober up fellas! That’s one small whisky shot for man, one giant sloppy stumble for mankind, and an even bigger pain in NASA’s ass.

Guys who can sing and play the guitar … need I say more.

Obvious guys were selected, like Justin Timberlake (my future husband), Jared Leto, Kenny Chesney and Bow Wow (what? he’s turned into a really nice piece of young man). But then there are the questionable few — Lance Bass? Josh Groban? Dave Navarro? They’re definitely not my idea of “sexy.”

Check out the rest of these dudes.
