When the temperature takes a dip, celebs know to toss all their designer duds into Louis Vuitton duffel bags and head to some of the most exclusive tropical locales in the world. Luckily for us, the paparazzi are never far behind and we get to creep all over their vacations via the internet. Don’t even begin to lay out for me how this is all morally wrong and stars have a right to privacy, especially around the holidays, blah blah blah.

I’d like to care, but I don’t. It just so happens that I have resolutions to keep and seeing these (mostly) tanned and toned glamazons will motivate me to hit the gym like none other.  So if you, like myself, need 16 reasons to stay on the elliptical just a liiiittle longer, just take a peek below.

According to BBC News, there’s one plastic surgery procedure that has shot up 80% in the past two years.  No, not an increase in women who want a rack like Christina Hendricks or a booty like Kim Kardashian.  And no, it has nothing to do with Heidi Montag.

The increasingly in-demand surgery is (gasp) a boob reduction… for men.

Man-boobs, or moobs, have definitely become more common thanks to the McDonald’s Dollar Menu and the deliciousness that is queso dip, and have recently been seen on celebs like Jack Nicholson, John Travolta and more.  They’re certainly not attractive, but is it really necessary to go under the knife and have them chopped off?  What about doing some bench presses, bros?

Okay, I guess I’m just having trouble coming to terms with men getting boob jobs (they have implants, too!). While I’ve already started saving for the booby lift I’ll inevitably need one day (can you imagine what these now C-cups will look like after popping out a few kids!?), I always envied guys for not having to worry about their chest protrusions. We’re supposed to be the vain, self-conscious sex, and I can’t figure out if it’s comforting or just plain weird that guys have the same insecurities. Read More »

The election is less than 4 weeks away, which, obvi, everyone knows since the campaign commercials/ mailings/ phone calls/ SNL skits are EVERYWHERE. All the time. I even hear “I am Barack Obama and I approve this message,” in my freaking SLEEP.

It’s crunch time and Barack Obama and John McCain are popping into new cities every day to tell Americans what they plan to do when they move into the Oval Office.

Which got us thinking.

We know that we could never run for president (there are waaaay too many Facebook albums that could be used as blackmail), but what if we could? So, we asked our writers to weigh in on their Presidential Plans: If they were elected president, what is the first thing they would do? Read More »

Everyone has that one thing they cannot stand in the opposite sex. It may not be rational (“His jeans are always an inch too short!”), but that doesn’t matter; we can’t help what turns us on (nibbling on my ear…mmmmmm) and off (man necklaces).

This week we asked our writers what made them cringe. (And, yes, everyone agreed that small undies/lots of guns/long hair/ and multiple guitars all lying out on a tarp is pretty effing gross.) Guys, if you are reading this, take note. For real.

Melanie – Northeastern University: I hate cocky attitudes with a tee shirt to match, like, “got your tickets to the gun show?” No thank you!

J – NYU: The way guys’ dirty socks smell. I swear. It could be a terrorist weapon.

Jennifer: I know it’s stupid, but honestly… bad grammar. Maybe it’s just the writer coming out in me, but people who use proper grammar sound intelligent… and I’m a sucker for boys with brains!

Suzie – George Washington University: I feel horrible for being so superficial but I cannot deal with man boobs. They freak me out like… like… *silent scream*

Conan – Columbia College: Smoking. Or fake laughter. Read More »

John Travolta used to be cool.

I had a HUGE crush on him when I first saw Grease. Like, gigantic. My mom was concerned.

Hard to believe that this is what Danny Zuko looks like now. (Looks like some one’s got a case of the Man Boobs!) And even weirder is how he looks in the upcoming summer movie Hairspray.

I mean, look at him. I’m embarrassed for him.

But worse than John Travolta’s outer appearance is his recent blabberings-on about the horrific events at Columbine and Virginia Tech.

Page Six reports that Travolta said publicly, that all of these tragic school shootings are not really the fault of those who committed the acts, but but on psychiatric drugs. “I still think that if you analyze most of the school shootings, it is not gun control. It is [psychotropic] drugs at the bottom of it,” he said.

This goes along with Scientology, of which Travolta is a devout follower; Tom Cruise, as we all know, is also a major figure in the religion…er…the science…er…belief? Basically, they all believe that all drugs – prescriptive or otherwise – are completely uneccessary and are the root of all evil. Read More »

By the time we hit our twenties, most girls have thought about getting a boob job. Even if we would never really consider going under the knife, we’ve at least discussed it with friends, joked about it, or secretly researched how much it would cost to turn ourselves in Pam Anderson. Society is big on boobs.

Unless you’re a guy.

Sure, men supposedly think about tits all day long, but actually having them isn’t something most men relish. Unlike their female counterparts, man boobs aren’t appealing, and in today’s beauty-obsessed world, our fixation on breasts might actually be working against the very species that invented it.
