[Editor note: Our wonderful writer Caitlin spotted this horrible crime this morning and was so upset she just had to post about it. Emails to Perez asking for proper credit have gone unanswered.]

On Monday, I posted this article about James Franco’s Facebook pictures. We were under the assumption that Mr. Franco updated the Facebook page, although someone pointed out that he doesn’t do social media anymore. Regardless of if that’s true or not, Perez Hilton took it upon himself to publish the same article with the same pictures from my gallery under the extremely similar title “James Franco’s Facebook Photos Released” at 8:15 this morning. He basically stated that this is some rare event and that it took an act of Congress to get said photos. Oh and there was no link to CollegeCandy or our article. Read More »

Rarrrr!

All of the CollegeCandy writers are strong, smart and…er…opinionated people. So we’re not surprised when some of our blogs turn into heated battlegrounds.  But unlike some other sites, we don’t let this scare us.  In fact, we take pride in our super-opinionated writers AND readers. After all, that’s the whole point of CollegeCandy — a place where every college girl gets her voice heard.

So to honor those voices and give you, our opinionated readers, a chance to raise yours once more, we’re bringing you the 15 most controversial CollegeCandy posts of all time. (Well, besides our most recent commentary on Demi Lovato. That wound’s still fresh.)

Break out the claws, ladies!

1. Trying To Understand The Curvy Girl Backlash
By CC Staff
Actually a response to a previous post’s backlash, this post tackled the body image debate that is getting everyone’s panties in a bunch.  The point is raised that va-va-voom celebs like Salma Hayek and Beyonce do not belong in the same category as other women who are a little bigger, like Nikki Blonsky.

2. Taylor Swift Is Really, Super, Totally Overrated
By Lauren
Let’s face it, the girl’s voice is pretty forgettable.  Sure, she’s adorable and wholesome, but why does there have to be a full-on riot every time someone utters a less-than-glowing word against T. Swift?

3. Should I Feel Guilty That I Can Afford An Unpaid Internship?
By: CC Staff
Unpaid internships are kind of the best (and only) way to get your foot in the door for so many careers these days, so why should any of us feel guilty if we have to ask our parents for financial help while we work hard to ensure a future career? Read More »

I’m probably not the only one, but this week practically landed me in the hospital.  Diagnosis: Heartbreak.  Courteney Cox and David Arquette.  Christina Aguilera and Jordan Bratman.  Perez Hilton and vicious gossip.  Who didn’t break up!?

While I’m sitting here in Splitsville mending my heart with candy corn and Halloween M&Ms, let’s take a look at some less-depressing recent hot topics.

-It’s Breast Cancer Awareness month and one CC reader wants you to know the disease isn’t restricted to older women.  Check yo self, ladies.

-We told you how to score Blake Lively’s look for less.  Because shopping always makes us feel better! Especially when that shopping puts money back in our pockets.

-With Halloween only a couple weeks away, we wondered if our favorite holiday breeds sexism.  Those sexy kitten, nurse, and maid outfits sure are revealing, after all…

-We found that some bitches are crazy, even outside the TV.  Do you know how to spot a real-life Gossip Girl?

-If you’re out of college with a slightly out of focus post-grad path, you’re not alone.  Stop hyperventilating, start embracing. Read More »

Leave it to our favorite celebrities to keep giving us more. It seems everything happens at the same time after a dull week and frankly we were overwhelmed just going through it all. This week we’ve had some break ups, an engagement, and a possible escape. We can always rely on Hollywood to give us something to talk about. But what else is new?

Anyone who watched The Ellen Degeneres Show today got a huge shock: Perez Hilton publicly announced that he will no longer be bullying celebs. Perez, who is arguably the world’s most well known citizen journalist, is as famous for his out-and-proud sexuality as he is for his snarky criticism of public figures. It makes sense that the one thing that would strike a nerve with Perez is the recent suicides of teens who were harassed for their sexuality, but is Perez taking things too far by cutting out all criticism?

Isn’t it possible to poke fun without crossing the line?

Of course, cyber-bullying is always wrong, and never something to be taken lightly, but Perez could simply make more harmless comments. Poking fun at someone’s wardrobe choice is okay, but attacking his or her personal struggles is not. After all, who would Perez Hilton be without his trademark witty blog posts and inappropriate graffiti art? Read More »

[Ladies, meet Meredith, the newest addition to the CollegeCandy team. She's a BU student, a movie buff, and an all around fantastic chicadee. She'll be our resident movie gal, givings us the ins and outs of the new releases and now-on-DVDs and telling us whether or not its worth it to add 'em to our NetFlix queue.]

The Runaways (available today, July 20th, on DVD) follows the path of the band, The Runaways, also known as the first all-girl rock band. The one that wanted to rock like the boys. We watch it all happen. At the beginning, Cherie Currie is some random semi-rebellious tenth grade student in the ’70s, lip-syncing to David Bowie and chopping her hair off. At the same time, Joan Jett is being patronized at guitar lessons; she wants to learn rock songs, but apparently girls don’t play electric guitar. All of a sudden, Joan walks up to one of the most important men in the music industry, Kim Fowley, and tells him that she plays guitar. He hooks her up with a girl drummer and sends them on their way. While watching them practice, though, Fowley decides that the group needs some sex appeal. This is where Currie comes in. She’s sitting in a club when he comes up to her and says, “I like you’re look.” He walks away mouthing, “Jail. F**king. Bait.” Just the sex appeal that his band needed.

Crazy right? Tenth graders are 16.
But, uh, Miley Cyrus is 17. Read More »

Nothing causes me more anxiety and ill feelings than watching Kelly Bensimon talk on the Real Housewives of New York. Seriously, it makes my stomach churn more than watching those addicts stick needles in their arms on Intervention (barf). The woman is infuriating and I think my neighbor (who hears me screaming through the wall) would agree that I’d be better off without her.

Same goes for Tyra Banks (who does she think she is?!), Ke$ha, Olivia Palermo, Katherine Hiegl and the entire cast of Jersey Couture (no, I don’t know why I keep on watching it). These people shouldn’t be allowed to speak, let alone speak on camera. In fact, I think the world would be a much better place if we never had to hear from them again. Wouldn’t that be heavenly?

So let’s all start a wish list of the celebrities we want to pack up and ship off to an island far, far away. A land filled with dangerous animals, poisonous fruits and zero Internet access or cell phone service.

Who are you giving your first ticket to?

Emmy-Loyola University Chicago: Spencer from The Hills. No one deserves it more.

Sarabeth – University of Texas: I would send Tyler Perry away. The world has enough fat-lady-who’s-really-a-skinny-black-man comedies, and he’s making the same crappy non-funny movies over and over and over again. And if he has one more sitcom start up on TBS, I’ll scream.

Charlsie – Hollins Univeristy: I’d like to send Real Housewife of NJ Danielle Staub to an island where she can’t hide in Bentleys from the snakes!
