In our consumer culture, money is everything and everybody wants it. A lot of it. Enough of it to buy gold and diamond plated teeth. But according to a recent poll, it looks like money may not be people’s top priority anymore.

According to the too-good-looking newscasters on CNN this morning, when people were asked whether they’d rather have a million dollars or the perfect body, over 20% of people chose the perfect body.

Pretty crazy, right?

To me, the answer seems obvious. And it’s all about the dolla dolla bills. I mean, money is everything in today’s world, right? Even if you didn’t have a perfect body, with all that cash money you could easily look up the best plastic surgeon in Hollywood and buy yourself a perfect bod. Just ask Heidi Montag! Not to mention, you’d still have a large chunk of change to spend on other rich cheap tricks (cars, designer handbags, ponies, etc…). Read More »

So John Mayer quit Twitter. Yeah right. We’ve heard that one before. Somehow this reminds me of the time Jay Z “retired.” And Brett Favre “retired.” And Amanda Bynes “retired.” And I swore to god, as I rest my head on the toilet bowl, that I’d never drink again.

Read: Not happening.

The truth is, John Mayer is far too egocentric to stay away from Twitter too long. A website dedicated to oversharing about yourself? It’s like it was created with Mr. Mayer in mind. So with that in my mind (and Katy Perry’s latest hit in my head, thanks to the radio station playing it every four minutes), I want to know: Read More »

It’s time for your weekly dose of Would You Rather.

I’ve already been faced with a little “Would You Rather” conundrum of my own this morning. I had decide between a healthy bowl of cereal for breakfast (and, consequently, looking better in my Spring clothes…) or the heavily frosted cupcake that was beckoning me from inside the fridge. After using all of my energy/reasoning skills on that one I’m not sure I’ll be able to do it again, but maybe you could give this one a whirl.

Would you rather have every material object you could ever (EVER) dream of OR be loved by the one you love?

Things To Consider: Louboutins, Marc Jacobs bags, cuddling in bed. Read More »

Wednesdays are rough. Sure, you are halfway through the week, but you still have two more loooong days before the weekend. Barf.

Speaking of barf, maybe we shouldn’t have taken part in Tequila Tuesdays last night? There is never an excuse for waking up fully clothed clutching a 2 liter bottle of Fresca and an empty pizza box (WTF?), but especially not on a Wednesday morning.

Anyways, in order to get you through the hardest day of the week we thought we’d play a little game of “Would You Rather?” Because what is more fun than pondering life’s most random conundrums?

So, here we go. Choose your answer and explain why in the comments section below!

Would you rather have to go about college life normally for a day except that you’re naked OR retake all of the tests you took in your worst class (without having any time to study) because your Prof lost the grades? Read More »

Do you need a new computer?

We put out a call to CollegeCandy readers last week to submit their P.O.S. computer sob stories (with photos, of course!) to win a brand new laptop bundle from HP. And boy were there a lot of them. Seriously, we had no idea so many of you were still using desktops! WTF?!

We spent the weekend sifting through the entries (and drinking) looking for the worst of the worst and narrowed it down to five really crap-tastic computing experiences.

Which one is the crappiest? You tell us. Vote below for the person most deserving of the coveted HP Laptop Bundle. And tell your friends to vote too! One of these 5 people needs a new computer stat and you could be the person to help them get it.

Doing good has never been so easy.

We’ll announce the winner tomorrow morning, Tuesday September 1st!
Vote now, vote often.

The days of pure, innocent and hard-to-get women are long gone. At least that’s what a new poll out of the U.K. has found. According to More magazine (the U.K. version, not the one in the U.S. for women over the age of 50), young women are having more sex than men.

Lots more!

Women have more partners, more one night stands and are more willing to talk about it than their male counterparts. That last fact may contribute to some skewed statistics (men may be having lots of sex but just don’t want to talk about it), but the trend highlighted in this poll is definitely right on target.

The modern woman is no longer waiting for her prince to swoop down and give her a happy ending; she is out there getting it (again and again) on her own. We don’t need to be in love to express our sexuality. We don’t need to be married to enjoy the natural, carnal instincts men have been enjoying since the beginning of time.

This poll proves that women are just as sexual of creatures as men, and that we view sex in similar ways. Women are not always out there to “find love” or “get serious”; many of us are out there looking for a little fun.

And it looks like we are finding it. The world of sex and love is changing, and women are coming out on top (pun intended).

Can you believe TRL has been on the air for 10 years?! I know! I didn’t know that show was on anymore, either. I think the last time I watched I had just gotten home from (high) school and called in my vote (for Christina Aguilera, duh!) to 1-800-VOTE-MTV. And I don’t think I even had a cell phone yet!

Well, TRL is still on…but not for long. MTV execs have decided to give in to the low ratings and close the doors on Total Request Live this November. The final show will be a major spectacle with tons of popstars, bands and former hosts coming back for the big goodbye. (Maybe they will play a full song for once? One can only hope!)

TRL was over for me when Carson Daly left and all those weird/random/unknown hosts started comin’ in (and then Carson got all rexy on us). But I guess other people sorta liked the randoms, so in honor of the end of the TRL era, I put together a little gallery of some of the bigger TRL hosts. Read More »

There are a million things we wish we could ask our boyfriends and for one reason or another, we feel like it’s not appropriate to do so.

Is this normal and healthy or is it adding unnecessary strain to a relationship?

Is there such thing as knowing (or asking) too much?

We here at College Candy think that making what you feel or want known is one of the most important things in a relationship but we want to know what you think!

Should you ever ask the following questions to your significant other?

Is it OK to ask your guy…

• …to buy tampons for you?

Back in the day, a celebrity’s entertainment value was limited to only two dimensions: the big screen and the small. But with the advent of the internet, (thank you, Al!) we are now able to delve deep into their personal lives and obsess over their every move 24/7- sometimes for the good they do, but mostly for the bad.

We follow their daily mishaps online as if it were the nail-biting storyline of our favorite primetime soap. There is something so inherently beautiful about the celebrity trainwreck. You know you should, but you cannot look away.

So, in celebration of this morbid fascination, we thought we would give you the chance to choose your favorite celebrity’s next misfortune.

The following are 5 Top Tabloid Heavyweights. Click on a storyline to vote for the headline you would like to see happen next.

I’m sitting here reading this article about kissing and it is making me really wish my boyfriend wasn’t 1,000 miles away so I could just make out with him.

Like, a full on seventh grade make-out sesh.

I love to kiss. Which, I suppose, why a poll of 1,000 college students at a New York City school, mentioned here, isn’t really mind blowing.

Apparently we, as women, like to kiss. And we think it’s really important to boot. We use “kissing as a way of assessing the recipient as a potential partner, and later to maintain intimacy and to check the status of a relationship.”

While guys “were more willing to have sex with someone without kissing, to have sex with someone they are not attracted to and agree to have sex with someone they considered to be a bad kisser.”

Men also placed less importance on kissing as the relationship progressed. I would imagine since they putting their importance on the bumping and grinding.

The article said that men preferred “wet, tongue kisses” but didn’t say what the ladies liked. I’m guessing it’s a mixture of the tender kisses we like all the time and the passionate (and, err, wet?) kisses that come with sex? Read More »
