Have you even seen someone and thought, “OMG so-and-so should totally play them in a movie”? Well we have too…ALL THE TIME. There are some roles so destined for certain celebrities that it’s a wonder they haven’t struck a multi-million dollar deal with Warner Brothers yet.

Here are some roles we think celebs are destined to play. It’s written in the stars, guys. So let’s start making these movies.

Sometimes when people tell me that I should unplug my chargers when I’m not using them, or that I should not run my A/C as much as I do (I live in Florida!), I just brush it off. I understand and care about global warming and climate change, but it seems like such a big thing that nothing I do will help. BUT GUESS WHAT??? Climate change could ruin Starbucks! I’m going to start unplugging everything in my apartment because I don’t know what I’ll do if I can’t get my Java Chip Frappuccino in 20 years.

While we all know that college students rely on Starbucks to get them through all-nighters and early science labs, celebrities reply on Starbucks even more. I can’t go a day without seeing a paparazzi picture of some celebrity sipping through a green straw. What are these celebs going to do if climate change kills Starbucks? Maybe then their maids will have to make them coffee. GASP!

Mary Kate and Ashley? Yes, I’m familiar. Elizabeth Olsen? It seems as if EVERYONE is talking about her lately. But what about Trent Olsen? The older brother of the sisters remains a mystery. Was he sold off by the twins for only 50 cents?  We thought so, but apparently he ended up being not for sale.

So where is Trent Olsen? Who is Trent Olsen? Nobody really knows.

If you type “Trent Olsen” into Google, you get an almost empty IMDB page and the link to Mary Kate and Ashley’s Wikipedia. Not much to show for his 27 years of life. In 2006, Mr. Olsen graduated from USC, according to IMDB. What was his major? We can only speculate. It may have been computer science, or it may have been useless family members. All we really know is that this might be him. Not much to go on.

Maybe there will be a You’re Invited to Mary-Kate and Ashley’s Sleepover Party reunion and we will learn a little more about what he’s been up to. But until then, we will have to be content with the Olsen girls. If Trent wants more attention, he should start dressing boho-homeless. That’s why the twins are famous in the first place, right?

If you have any information on Trent or his whereabouts or what it was like to be put up for sale by his younger sisters, please let us know.

It might be 2010, but here at CollegeCandy we’re still stuck in the ’90s. All you have to do is say Chumbawhumba and we’re off and running on a ’90s nostalgia debate that lasts the entire day. We know we’re not the only people out there that still rock out to N’Sync and still remember the desperation you felt when you lost your favorite Pogs slammer. So instead of constantly arguing amongst the CollegeCandy team, we decided to throw the question out to our readers and choose, once and for all, what is the best thing to come from the ’90s (besides our many devoted readers, of course). And we got some (unexpected) answers back!

Over the past month, we’ve been narrowing down the best of the best of our favorite decade and we’ve had the tough job of saying goodbye to some of our personal favorites: Skip-its, Dunkaroos, Super Nintendo, The Fresh Prince, the Olsen Twins, and every blogger’s original writing tool, the gel pen.

And now, we’re down to the FINAL TWO: Cory and Topanga VS. The Spice Girls. Or more accurately put, the couple that defines the decade and taught us what college marriage really meant vs. the music that had us all yelling GIRL POWER.

This vote will be difficult, it will be challenging, and it will have you questioning everything you thought you knew about yourself. It’s safe to say that it will make Rose’s decision on the Titanic look like child’s play. But that’s why we’re here – to figure out what is the best thing to come from the ’90s.

So vote now, make your voice heard, and check back Thursday for results, as well as a super ’90s interview with one of our bracket finalists!

Here at CollegeCandy we’re really totally digging the ’90s this summer. (And we’re not talking about the temperature.)  With parents invading Facebook and Lindsay Lohan in jail, we yearn for simpler times.  Seriously, who wouldn’t want to travel back to the days of Fruit by the Foot, TGIF, and floppy haired boys?  All this nostalgia got us wondering where our favorite Hollywood mini-hunks of yesteryear are this year.

1. Haley Joel Osment from The Sixth Sense, Pay it Forward and A.I.

He went from seeing dead people to seeing drunk people.  Now 22 and enrolled in college, I wonder if he’s any good at beer pong?  Granted he’s attending NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts, but those kids have got to know how to party, too.  Prior to seeking higher education, he made his Broadway debut co-starring in a revival of American Buffalo. Well, that’s nice.

2. Dylan and Cole Sprouse as the little boys (aka Frankenstein) from Big Daddy

Easily the most successful duo of this bunch, Dylan and Cole went on to become the highest paid Disney stars through the show The Suite Life of Zach & Cody.  They must have the Olsen twins’ manager, because not only are they racking up $40, 000 an episode, they’ve also started a clothing line, book series, and magazine.  As if that wasn’t enough for their already sparkling resume, they too are headed to NYU in the fall.

3. Jonathan Lipnicki as the little boy in Jerry Maguire and Stuart Little

He was the cute little brainy kid along side Tom Cruise, now he’s just got a mohawk and an awkward nose.  Within the past few years, he’s done a couple guest performances for shows like Monk and Family Guy.  Nothing major. However, he’s said to mainly be focusing on independent films at the moment.  Is that industry-speak for “bad economy”?

4. Lorenzo and Nikolas Brino as Sam and David Camden as the fraternal twin boys on 7th Heaven

These two have completely dropped off the face of the earth.  Though their public image went the way of 7th Heaven,  they do have a Facebook group, which I recommend everyone “Like”.

5. Ben Savage as Cory Matthews on Boy Meets World

Who didn’t love Cory Matthews?  I dare you to answer that with anything but an uproarious “He was the best!” Apparently this kid had smarts in addition to acting chops, seeing as how he graduated from Stanford with a degree in Political Science.  Sadly, he never ran for president, opting instead to continue pursuing his acting career.  He’s made a bunch of guest appearances in TV shows including, most recently, Without a Trace. Currently, he’s filming Doesn’t Texas Ever End. Here’s hoping his career doesn’t. Do I smell a Boy Meets World movie?!

6. Henry Thomas as Elliott in E.T.

Come on!  He’s the little brother from Brad Pitt’s epic Legends of the Fall!  Just pieced that together, and quite honestly, my mind is blown.  While most of these other actors’ careers took a dip after the ’90s, Mr. Thomas here went on to appear in over 40 films, most recently the blockbuster hit Dear John. (Editor’s Note: Wait, there was someone else in that movie besides Channing Tatum??)

7. Taran Noah Smith as the youngest brother from Home Improvement

Ever heard the phrase, “If I told you, you wouldn’t believe me”?  Well, that applies here.  This guy’s bio is so bizarre and unbelievable, I almost refuse to believe it’s true (but a little sleuthing proved everything to be factual). Here’s the scoop: when he was 17-years-old Taran married a woman 16 years his senior.  Weird, right?   So the new couple moved to Kansas where they opened a non-dairy cheese manufacturing company.  Totally standard, right?  Then, once he gained control of his trust fund from Home Improvement he accused his parents of squandering it.  Pretty par for the course in Hollywood.  Then, to cap it all off, his wife informed him she preferred women to men.  In 2007, the bank foreclosed on Smith’s home.  The marriage was annulled in 2009.  After a messy legal battle over the companies the couple co-owned, the child star is said to have reconciled with his parents. Where’s E! True Hollywood Story when you need them, eh?

8. Danny Tamberelli as Little Pete in The Adventures of Pete & Pete

Not only is the theme song from Pete and Pete stored safely in my iTunes library (it’s “Hey Sandy” by Polaris, if you were wondering), but this show will forever be in my heart.  They were brothers with the same name, the mom had a metal plate in her head, there were amazing guest stars (Selma Blair, LL Cool J, Iggy Pop).  What’s not to love!?  The younger ginger brother, Danny Tamberelli, starred in a commercial for Wendy’s hamburgers in 2006.  He’s also a bassist/vocalist for a couple obscure bands and a member of the sketch comedy group “Man Boobs: Sketchy Comedy,” which is fitting currently working on a pilot intended for television.  Fingers crossed that that comes to fruition.  Seeing his all-grown-up face alone drives me to pee my pants, I can’t imagine what would happen if he started cracking jokes.

9. Tahj Mowry as Teddy, or Michelle’s best friend, on Full House

I always feared that he’d never emerge from the shadow of a double dose of twins- his older sisters, Tia and Tamara; and those crazy Olsens.  Tahj proved that, like Cher and cockroaches, he can make it through anything.  He has been largely involved with the Disney Channel since his Full House days, most notably as the voice of Wade in the animated series Kim Possible. Most recently, he’s been seen in the film Are We Done Yet?, in an episode of Desperate Housewives, and in a few episodes of The Game. Here’s hoping we can see him in even bigger rolls.  Like a Full House revival… Dare to dream.

10. Jason James Richter as Jesse from Free Willy

Let me just say, of all these cool little dudes, Jesse made my heart beat faster than a junkie’s.  Maybe it was his brief streak as a juvenile delinquent, maybe it was his sad orphan story, maybe it was his pet killer whale…I really couldn’t tell you.  All I know is that Free Willy played at least three times a day in my house.  Regarding Jason James Richter’s current whereabouts, as recently as 2009 Richter played “Clown # 2″ in an episode of Bones. Currently, he devotes his time as a bassist for a band called “Fermata.”  And he’s totally ugly.  Just throwin’ that out there.

Dear Dude,

I want a boyfriend. I have been single for the last four years, and although there have been opportunities for love to kindle, things just never seem to work out. I think a part of it is my fault. I am very conscious about my weight (I am full-figured). I think I am a very intelligent, funny and generous person, and I have a great circle of friends. But I don’t know how to show a guy that I have all these qualities because, frankly, most guys seem more interested in the way women look. Dude, how can I make a guy see past my weight to the person that I am inside, when looks play such a huge role in a guy’s opinion of a girl?

Sincerely,
Single and Not Loving It

P.S. I want to add that I am not ugly, just a little overweight.

Dear Single and Not Loving It,

First things first…thank you.  Thank you for bringing this up.  This is such an important issue that isn’t discussed enough!  I have ranted and raved about this for a decade now and I hope that someone will start to listen.  So here we go!

Real men want real women!  That’s the bottom line.  Since when did “so thin I may shatter every bone in my body if I fall and I look like a cancer patient” become sexy?  Has anyone else noticed how closely these women resemble pre-pubescent teenage girls?  I have!  And what does that say about the people who think that’s attractive?

And on top of looking totally ridiculous with your hips and ribs showing through your clothes, being that hungry all the time turns a nice girl into a complete bitch!  I know when I skip a meal I get pretty irritated; I would likely go postal if I tried to survive on 500 to 1000 calories a day. And that may be high for some of these chicks!

Let me give you some examples and/ or inspirations:

Christina Hendricks = SEXY
Diane Kruger = Gross
Beyonce = WOWZZA
Kate Bosworth = Gross
Sara Ramirez = SCHWING
Olsen Twins = Gross
J-Lo = GIGGITY GIGGITY
Zoe Saldana = Gross

Get the picture?

These women could all stand to have a cheesburger and cut a few workouts from the routine.  And if a guy tells you he is truly attracted to women who look like this, then consider keeping any young teenage girls you know far away from him.  Think about this logically for a second.  Women are designed to carry a certain percentage of body fat.  A womans body is designed for reproduction.  A body with very little fat (or one who is skinny fat, ie. no fat or muscle to speak of) goes against Nature’s intentions for that body. Why do you think people who look like that have to resort to multiple daily workouts and eating disorders to look that way?

So to step down from my soapbox and get to my point, try to be more like the four girls above who got very positive feedback.  Stay healthy, but don’t overdo it. And take pride in your curvy body and yourself. What you don’t realize is that right now guys are focusing on your weight because that’s what you’re focusing on. If you stop thinking about your size and think only about how funny and smart and beautiful you are, guys will see all of those things too. There is nothing sexier to a man than a girl with confidence – regardless of her size – so get out there and show guys all your wonderful qualities.

– The Dude (who takes meat on the bones over skin and bones any day of the week!)

[Got a question for Mr. Dude? (And, no, that doesn’t include asking him out; boyfriend is taken!) Ask it: askthedude@collegecandy.com. He won’t sugarcoat it, beat around the bush, or any other weird cliche that means lie to you. Like a nice, juicy hot dog, he’ll be 100% real beef, 100% of the time.  So bring it on, ladies.]

But not dear Taylor. Our favorite-turned-most-annoying Gossip Girl star showed up to the MTV studios looking like this. Naturally, I have many questions for this good-girl-gone-whore:

1. Did you honestly wake up, get dressed, look in the mirror and say “Yes. This looks good.”
2. How did you justify this look: It’s OK if your shirt doesn’t cover your vagina since your sunglasses/hair cover half of your face?
3. If Miley can’t dance on a stripper pole, do you think you can walk around Manhattan looking like you just had wild sex?  The walk of shame does not become you, Taylor.
4. What do you have against pants?
5. From where does your fashion inspiration come? Ashley Olsen-meets-Lady Gaga?
6. Good call covering your nips with that fur collar. It gets cold strutting around NY in the fall half naked. (Yeah, that was a statement and not a question, but that really was a good idea on her part.)
7. What look were you going for with this? Homeless girl sells pants in order to purchase a Starbucks coffee to warm her half-dressed body?
8. How much do you charge for a quickie?
9. Uh, aren’t you in middle school?
10. Seriously?
