Would You Rather…

Zahra- Northwestern University — Wed, 21 Apr 2010 17:00:34 +0000

It’s been over 12 hours since the show aired and I’m still on a Glee/Madonna high. Was that not the best episode of all time? Besides all the amazingness that was Madonna’s greatest hits, who knew Emma could be so sultry? Damn, girl! That whole “Like a Virgin” montage was just brilliant and I’ve watched it about 10 times since on Hulu. (BTW, thank you, god, for Hulu.)

But enough about that (writing this is wasting precious time that could be spent watching New Directions’ version of Like a Prayer); it’s time for our weekly game of Would You Rather….

Would You Rather be able to control time whenever you wanted (for example, if you wanted you could pause before a huge exam and get in some extra studying) OR be able to magically fix one thing you don’t like about yourself physically?

Things to consider: fast forwarding through lecture, extra snuggle time, those thunder thighs.

Vote and then tell us why below!

G.W.W.E.: Daniel “Wizardly Womanizer” Radcliffe

Sara C - Fordham — Fri, 10 Jul 2009 20:00:29 +0000

We’re back with another edition of G.W.W.E. (Guys We Wanna Eff)!

In all honesty, there has been only one date marked (with a big red-Sharpie’d heart) on my calendar this summer: July 15, the release of the next Harry Potter movie. Yes, I read all the books. Yes, I realize I’m more excited for a movie about wizards than beachside cocktails. But in addition to the guaranteed magical experience of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, I’m amped for the magical hotness of its star, Daniel Radcliffe.

Back in the days of the first HP movies, little Danny was, well, little. He assumed the staring role at 9 years old (at that age, I was still wearing butterfly clips and black shoes with white socks, ew). But at some point, the British hunk blossomed into a ripped, well-groomed wizard of womanizing.

Last year, he starred in the Broadway play “Equus,” which is most famous for showcasing D.Rad in the buff, live and in person. Thank you, Broadway producers, for allowing me to look at this fine man totally nude in a perfectly cultured manner.

While I doubt “The Half-Blood Prince” will be displaying any kind of nudity, I am totally looking forward to fanning myself in the audience, dreaming of another of Daniel’s magic wands.

“What the EFF?!” David Blaine’s REAL Street Magic

CC Staff — Thu, 25 Sep 2008 14:40:22 +0000

David Blaine, the really weird magician who likes to do crazy things to his body, finished his 60-hour “batman hang” in Central Park last night by kind of falling, kind of raising up into the sky in front of thousands of people. If you weren’t tuning into Knight Rider, you were possibly watching the televised special which highlighted his hanging antics as well as clips upon clips of his street magic.

Even though Blaine really may be a professional when it comes to slight of hand, there’s no denying that his whole shtick is kind of…ridiculous.

The video below is kind of old, but also right on the money.



Batter Up! It’s First Date Time On “The Bachelorette!”
CC Staff — Tue, 27 May 2008 21:30:05 +0000
After last week’s two-hour premiere, I didn’t think I’d be able to stomach another double-helping of The Bachelorette. But it’s amazing what one can accomplish when fueled by BBQ’d foods and beer.
Here’s the gist:
The winners of last week’s first impression roses, Jeremy, Jesse and Richard, got to reside in DeAnna’s mansion while the rest of the gang took the “walk of shame” down to the men’s barracks. Their digs are complete with rickety bunk beds and an outdoor shower without a door or curtain.
One half of the guys took DeAnna on a group date to a private magic club. It was exactly as nerdy as it sounds. They did card tricks, held doves and Jason got some alone time with DeAnna after they disappeared into a box. The other half of the group went on a group date to Dodger Stadium where they serenaded DeAnna with the National Anthem, participated in a home-run derby and fraternized with legendary manager Tommy Lasorda.
Graham was the lucky winner of a non-group date with DeAnna. They flew kites, strolled on the beach and roasted marshmallows. DeAnna was put off by Graham’s lack of relationship experience but he re-gained her trust and nabbed a rose with a few suave words and an invitation to snuggle.
In the end, Chris, Eric and Ryan left the house. No one was too surprised as we hardly heard from them all episode.
Now that you’re caught up on the details, I’d like to hand out my roses for the night.
My “Thank Heavens You Have No Shame” rose goes to Paul who stripped down to his birthday suit to clean off in the outdoor shower. The freezing water may have been bad news for the shy bachelors but it was great for male body enthusiasts.
The rose for “Most Awkward First Date Conversation To Take Place In A Dugout” goes to Jeremy. He won the Home Run Derby on the baseball group date and decided that was the best time to spill his guts to DeAnna.  If ever there was a moment to exemplify the awkward turtle, this would be it. Too bad DeAnna lapped up his sensitive side with a spoon, and Jeremy earned another week in the mansion and a small spot in her heart.
My “I Think I’ve Seen You Before” rose goes to Jesse who won some alone time with DeAnna after winning a push-up contest. (What’s with this girl and feats of strength?) After tonight’s episode I realized Jesse was the coach on the snowboarding episode of MTV’s Made. I also remembered that he said “ I just wanted to beat you to death with someone’s arm.” in the post show. Watch your back DeAnna, he may not be as carefree as he looks.
And though three men left the house, my “I’ll Miss You The Most” rose goes to Ryan, the 28-year-old virgin. I wasn’t too sad to see him leave until he let it all out in the last few minutes of  the episode.
What did you think of last night’s episode? Was DeAnna right to get rid of Ryan? Can you believe martial arts master Sean is still around? Let’s hear it ladies!

         


Chris Angel: A Freak for Love or Just a Freak?
Jess - NYU — Sat, 09 Jun 2007 23:01:05 +0000

Chris Angel: Mindfreak—and stalker?
The weird magician, who just recently escaped from a concrete block suspended in the middle of Times Square (no, I didn’t go watch it.  I had other things to do.  Like de-hair my couch), has a bit of a thing for actress Cameron Diaz.
The two were recently reported together a few weeks ago in Las Vegas, “canoodling”, “snuggling”, and other stupid words for 48 hours straight.  Then Diaz packed up and went on the Shrek tour, and Angel became freakily attached.
“I’d like to dedicate this to my girl Trouble, a.k.a Cameron.”  Angel shouted as soon as he escaped his concrete publicity stunt last Monday, “I love you, baby.” 
Huh?  What?  Love?!
When pressed to specify further, Angel backtracked with the old, “she’s an amazing person” statement and refused to give any more details.
Either this guy is using Diaz for publicity, or likes to fall in love after a weekend.  Any way the cookie crumbles, I think the girl should run.  A relationship with an obsessive, desperate guy who has found a way to walk on water is guaranteed to end very, very badly.
