Look, I’m all about being an American, but if there’s one other place on this planet I’d want to live, it’s Australia. Not only is the country beautiful, but it’s given us KugelHopf, a Mary Kate and Ashley movie, Kangaroos and, of course, some very delicious eye candy.

And as today, January 26th, is Australia Day, it’s our duty to honor the land of Oz. But since we can’t hop on a plane, fly 24 hours and present the country with balloons and a cake, we’ll do the next best thing: ogle our favorite Aussies. And embarrass ourselves misusing Aussie slang.

G’day mates!

Halloween 2010 is finally here and we’re looking forward to celebrating the only national college holiday that ends with me getting stabbed in the eye by an oversized fairy wing. While we’re excited to see all the awesome creative costumes, we’re also dreading seeing all the cliche and uninspired pop culture costumes. Like c’mon, how many Michael Jacksons did we really need last year? And we’re sure this year will be no different.  That’s why we put together this list of costumes that we’re sure will be at every single college Halloween party.

In fact, we’re so sure that you’ll see all these costumes that we’re throwing a Halloween photo contest. Be the first person to upload a photo of a different person wearing each of these costumes to our Facebook Fan Page and WIN A COLLEGE CANDY BEER PONG TABLE (like the one in this photo). You don’t have to upload them all in a row, but you do have to be the first one to get all ten photos uploaded. (On the slight chance that no one manages to photograph all 10, the person who uploads the most photos, the fastest will win. And in case more than one of you snaps all 10, we’ll put all your names in a witch hat and randomly draw a winner.) You have until November 2nd to get those photos in and we’ll announce the winner on Facebook at 12pm EST on November 3rd.

Now what are you waiting for? Go grab your camera/cell phone and get snapping!

1. The Kanye: How easy and tempting is it going to be for people to put on a pair of brightly colored sunglasses and make a toast to all the douchebags? Either that, or throw on a fuchsia sweater vest and act like a dick. Extra points if he spends all night shoving “Taylor Swift” to the side.

2. The Lady Gaga: I was thinking I might wrap a red cloth over my face or wear a Filet Mignon on my head.  What do you think?  Lady Gaga had some extremely crazy outfits this year and I’m expecting to see at least a few make an appearance on the party circuit. And no, I won’t be surprised when that super skinny girl that you always see at the gym wraps herself in caution tape and carries a telephone all night.

3. The Mel Gibson: We all know Mel Gibson was a huge a-hole this year so don’t be shocked when you see people screaming into a cell phone the entire night with an Australian accent, saying affectionate things like “You effing whore!“

4. The Sue Sylvester: An extremely easy costume (blond wig + track suit + attitude = done) and that’s why we’re expecting to see quite a few Sues dancing in the crowd. Only problem? There’s nothing less fun than an unfunny Sue Sylvester impersonator.

5. Jersey Shore: Drawn-on abs? Spray tans? Ed Hardy t-shirts? Dirty pads hanging from the back of a too-tight dress? You’ll see so many of these on October 31st (and 29th….and 30th) that you’ll wonder if you were some how teleported to Seaside.

6. BP Clean-up Specialist: With some dish washing gloves, a surgical mask, and an oil-covered stuffed animal, this costume will be repeated over and over again throughout the weekend.

7. Anyone from Twilight: The vampire teeth are cheap and a ton of guys will be hoping that they will be enough to convince a drunk girl that they’re just as good looking as Rob Pattinson.

8. ‘The Hangover’ Guys: Because that movie never gets old! Oh wait, it totally does.

9. Lindsay Lohan: Not only is it simple to put together (stringy hair, leggings and a bag of Splenda) but the drunker the costume-wearer gets, the more authentic he/she will look.

10. An Avatar: Because there are enough people out there who will want an excuse to paint themselves blue and run around wearing nothing but a loincloth.

Contest is for U.S. residents only. Sorry, rest of the world.

I smell a Jake Gyllenhaal break up song in the near future.

Uh oh. Mel Gibson is angry.

There is something called nailympics…and it’s as freaky as you’d expect.

Is it bad that since reading of this new addition to the cast, my interest in the movie has dropped about 200%?  Mel makes my skin crawl.  Seriously, I know the dude wants to push “restart” on his career, but I can think of a bajillion other celebrities who deserve a second (or third, or fourth) chance to change their image more than a wife-beating, anti-Semitic a-hole.

Amy Winehouse
Not only is she legitimately super-talented, she writes songs with names like “F*ck Me Pumps.”  Talk about someone who deserves a chance to further pursue her art!  Those are bona-fide dance hits, without which our Thirsty Thursdays would be significantly duller.  There are only so many times you can shake your butt to “Apple Bottom Jeans,” but Amy’s “Rehab” is forever.

R.Kelly
When he’s not being gross, Mr. Kelly is actually pretty funny…whether he means to be or not.  “Trapped in the Closet” was an epic musical adventure that had me biting my fingernails with anxiety.  So maybe he touched minors inappropriately.  Give him one of those hot pink molester license plates, keep him away from parks and schools, but let the guy act!

Lindsay Lohan
Once upon a time, she was a cute little redhead with a twin.  Then God smote us all by revealing that that twin was merely cinematic trickery and that our favorite ginger had a cocaine problem and a crazy mother.  Ugh, unfair!  Hasn’t Linds has put in the time, people?  I mean, seriously, she actually put in time.  In jail.  And rehab.  Doesn’t she deserve a second chance to fill the hole she left in our Parent Trap-loving hearts?

Kanye West
Sure we love him since he started Good Fridays.  A new free Kanye track every week is pretty effing spectacular.  But his image still screams arrogant jerk, no?  Stick him in The Hangover 2 as an abused member of the hotel staff, perhaps sent on a mission to track down Taylor Swift CDs for Zach Galifianakis, and I think hilarity just might ensue.

Robert Downey, Jr.
Okay, fine.  So his drug problem is old news and his reputation has pretty much been restored.  Iron Man 1 and 2, Sherlock Holmes, Tropic Thunder, Due Date…it’s clear he can land a blockbuster movie.  But still, he’s hot.  Like really, really hot.  In that DILF kinda way.  They could have just thrown him in The Hangover 2 for a scene with Bradley Cooper to make the hearts of girls everywhere sparkle more than Edward Cullen in the sun.

Hangover cameos are the new rehab.

Everybody has a breakdown once in a while. Whether it’s being over-stressed from school or just because they ran out of your favorite ice cream at the grocery store (Starbucks Java Chip Frappucino WAHHHHHH!), it’s normal to melt down every now and then.

However, when you’re in the limelight of Hollywood and a pampered celeb, those mini-meltdowns are way more public, way more ridiculous, and, lately, way more frequent. In light of all the celebutard dramalicious freak outs that are constantly cluttering our Twitter feeds, gossip columns and office chatter, I’ve decided to count down the ten most memorable meltdowns. Enjoy.

10. Christian Bale’s “Terminator Tirade”
Holy cats, Batman! Slow down on the F-bombs; even Tony Soprano would be blushing. Can we also remember when he allegedly beat his mom and sister? Great actor, terrible temper.

9. That’s not on the teleprompter
Oh Bill O’Reilly; before he had his own show, he was already making his presence known on Inside Edition. This might be a little vintage, but who doesn’t love a golden oldie freak out over the teleprompter? I sincerely doubt Ron Burgundy would pull a stunt like this, even though we all know he’ll read anything on the prompter. Tsk, tsk.

8. Mariah Carey does MTV
Who wants ice cream!?

7. Ashlee Simpson Wants a BURGER!
“I would loooove to talk to a manager.” Okay, first of all, we’re all capable of drunk munchies here at CollegeCandy. Or just munchies in general. However, I don’t think it is ever, ever acceptable to crawl over a McDonald’s counter just for some french fries. A McFlurry, on the other hand….

6. World of Warcraft Kid
Not Hollywood status (yet), but this kid’s freak outs make Animal from the Muppets look like a clean-cut school boy. Please note his record time to get naked, and also feel free to watch all 12 of the videos created by his younger, instigating brother.

5. Alec Baldwin’s “Rude Little Pig”
“You don’t have the brains or the decency as a human… I don’t care that you’re 12 years old, or 11 years old, or that you’re a child.” Oof, enough said. Almost enough to make me not watch 30 Rock. Almost. What? I can’t help but love Jack Donaghy. Conundrum.

4. Bald Britney Spears wields an Umbrella
The image of a generation.

3. Kelly Bensimon’s “Scary Island“
Lollipops, ho-bags, vampires, gummi bears and skanky purple dresses (those boobs!) in a multimillion dollar house in a tropical island makes a fun little psychotic break. Is this woman seriously a mother?

2. “Yo Taylor- I’m really happy for you and Imma let you finish…”
But this created some of the best meme pictures, mashups and parodies OF ALL TIME! Now Kanye, please please please drop your album. Please. Taylor who?

1. Mel Gibson’s “I Deserve a Special Circle in Hell” rants
Not even worth linking to – too disturbing. Did anyone else throw up a little when they heard the most recent rant? Seriously, put this guy away forever.

Wait, is that a THREAT?

What else is going on? You mean besides sweat-induced breakouts, funky tan burn lines, and 24/7 cravings for popsicles? Yeah, not much. Thank god all those ass-hats in Hollywood are keeping it real, otherwise I’d have nothing to do with myself while I spend my days huddled up on the air conditioning vent in my bedroom. Speaking of bedrooms, have you entered the CollegeCandy contest to win a total bedroom makeover?!

Perhaps reflecting on the week that was will cool things down a bit.
