Reasons Women Will Love Marvel’s The Avengers

I was one of the fortunate fanboy fanatics to have seen the 12:02am showing of Marvel’s The Avengers last Thursday. And HOLY SH*TBALLS!

The number one reason, Ladies, why you should go see this movie – and you DEFINITELY should run to see this movie – is because…IT’S A GODDAMN GOOD MOVIE! (Apologies, Allfather for the blaspheming.)

Joss Whedon’s pulled off one of the greatest magic tricks in the annals of cinema. It’s a movie filled with leading men who already have their own following, epic stakes, monsters, and still manages to be character-driven.

What you’ll take away from the film aren’t the explosions resulting from an alien invasion, it’s the explosions of personalities colliding and finding ways to not just co-exist but connect to one another. Ladies, let me give you the rundown of “must-see” reasons that this film is for you: Read More »


Getting Ready for The Avengers: Day 1, Robert Downey Jr. [Photos]

The Avengers comes out this Friday, and we here at CC couldn’t be more excited. So much hotness all in one movie – could it be too much? Psh, who are we kidding? Of course not! Each day, we’ll be celebrating the upcoming movie by dedicating an entire gallery to one of the film’s sexy male stars.

First up: Robert Downey Jr., as Iron Man. Though we’ll be lusting over him in both his regular RDJ form and as his robot-y alter ego. Read More »


Robert Downey Jr. Isn’t A Tattletale

Robert Downey Jr. is a lot of things: detective, superhero, sex symbol. But a tattletale he is not. Celebrity scandals are definitely wacky, but this one is the strangest I’ve heard in a while. Apparently, there’s a mysterious internet commenter who’s been leaving extremely detailed comments about some Hollywood stars on a gossip blog. The person, Himmmm, previously stated that they were ”4 guys who were all pals and worked together DEEP inside the biz. Two were famous (rock star and movie star) and the other two were true creative geniuses.” Does that username remind anyone else of the villain from the Power Puff Girls?

Himmmm posted a series of comments chronicling a story that involved Kirk Douglas, Natalie Wood, Ryan O’Neal, and Natasha Gregson Wagner (Wood’s daughter). It had some crazy details like that Ryan O’Neal impregnated an underage Drew Barrymore and that Kirk Douglas raped Natalie Wood. Himmmm left Natasha Gregson Wagner’s phone number as a reference, claiming that she would back up the story. How does Himmmm know all of this information? Well, the commenter states that he starred in a film with Wagner and Heather Graham in the ’90s, which would be Two Girls and a Guy. That would make Himmmm Robert Downey Jr.

But don’t worry, Robert Downey Jr. is calling bull on this one. His rep said that Robert had no knowledge of this and he’s not Himmmm (that’s getting confusing, eh?). Oh and also, “Robert’s a much better writer than that.” So if this isn’t one for the books, I don’t know what is. I don’t think Robert Downey Jr. has enough time on his hands to even consider trolling the internet or that he would in the first place. It’s just another wacko looking for their fifteen minutes.

Do you think Robert Downey Jr. is Himmmm? How crazy is this story?

Dude’s List: 11 Guys That Guys Crush On

Even the guys you crush on get guy crushes. It’s just a different kind of crushing. We don’t necessarily want to be with them, we mostly want to be them. Just a preference. A lot of us can admit when a guy’s hot. We can feel the animal magnetism. We can be charmed by his charisma or attracted by his genius. Same as you.

Here’s the top 11 man crushes I could surmise after strenuous polling of men from all over Facebook…and beyond! Believe it or not, most men polled could roll off their top 3 without so much as a moment’s hesitation to reconsider their sexual orientation.


So what say you ladies? How do our mancrushes compare with yours? Chime in on our collective taste. Keep one thing in mind: the guy your guy crushes on tells you a lot about your crush. Just saying.

The world’s greatest Dude


Gossip Cheat Sheet: Hollywood Can’t Take A Joke

This week, the Golden Globes happened along with a lot of other fun stuff! Celebs got pissed, celebs got engaged, celebs broke up, and some celebs even had secret babies! All in all, a well-rounded week, I’d say.

Back To The Semester Parties

1. You’ll probably never see Ricky Gervais at the Golden Globes again. Despite the fact that he did a hilarious job of hosting the Golden Globes, which would have been utterly dull without him, Ricky Gervais’s jokes are being slammed by the majority of Hollywood. Why? I guess because he made fun of both Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp within the first five minutes (I guess Hollywood royalty isn’t used to being picked on…), he trashed the members of the Hollywood Foreign Press, and according to some people, he just went ‘too far’ with the jokes he made about Robert Downey Jr., Bruce Willis, and Tom Cruise. There were tons of rumors that he was asked to never return – but apparently, Ricky has made that decision on his own. Can we pull the stick out of Hollywood’s Botox-injected butt, please?

2. Halle Berry is having baby daddy drama. She’s going into a custody battle with her ex, Gabriel Aubry, over their daughter Nahla. He wants to be officially declared the father, and wants joint custody of his daughter. Can’t really blame the guy, can you? Their break-up seemed pretty friendly, but let’s see what happens when the court gets involved.
