Stick a fork in me, I’m done. Channing Tatum hosted Saturday Night Live last night. While SNL has had some pretty funny sketches lately, I thought last night’s episode was hilarious. Maybe I was distracted by Channing’s beautiful, chiseled jaw line and bulging biceps. Or maybe the show’s season is finally picking up speed. Channing’s former career as a stripper was spoofed, along with some politicians, an open-shirted Channing as Matthew McConaughey and Lana del Rey, who bombed her performance in January. Whether you think this episode is funny or not, you don’t want to miss out on the multiple instances of Channing’s hip thrusts and lip licking.

And I just think everyone needs to see Channing Tatum rip his shirt off…

For Chanukah there are many things I want from stores around town or off my favorite sites online, but this year I’d prefer some things I’ve learned from Saturday Night Live. Who said TV isn’t educational? It’s taught me about my true wants and desires. (Besides number 4, but I’m trying to help you girls out there any way I can.) If at least one of these come true, I’ll be happy to spin the dreidel and share my Chanukah gelt. Happy Holidays everyone!

I was watching 7 Minutes in Heaven with Jason Sudeikis this morning and had a revelation: I think I like him.

Now, don’t get me wrong, it’s not like I didn’t like him before, I just never really thought about him. But you know what? He’s kinda cute. And goofy. And I might not spending seven minutes in a closet with him. Just sayin’.

So, dear readers, have I been existing in my own bubble of ignorance on this one, or is everyone finally waking up to realize the dude’s kinda charming and funny in an awkward dad sort of way? Has my sudden desire to make out with anyone in sight caused this knee-jerk infatuation, or is he actually an acceptable male specimen? Help me out, guys!!

Chris Brown went from cute teen pop star to even cuter boyfriend of Barbadian goddess Rihanna, and ended up becoming the bad-boy of R&B. Or, more accurately, the guy who makes the music that we all feel guilty listening to because of the infamous incident.

Most of us can’t forget what Mr. Brown did to Rihanna, can’t get the images of her badly beaten face out of our minds. No matter how many catchy songs the guy attempts to put out.

So how are we supposed to feel about his upcoming stint on SNL?

Despite your opinions on how artists’ personal lives should influence their career, there’s no denying that Chris Brown messed up. Badly. In a very public way. In a perfect world, artists could pull a Miley/Hannah Montana-esque quick-change and keep their two worlds separate, but we know that’s impossible. So why is SNL choosing to promote and support him with the music guest spot on the February 12th episode?

Controversy is always a sure way to get viewers’ attention, and ratings and it seems the old adage “any PR is good PR” is true. At least for NBC and SNL. It seems as though they are choosing to reward Chris “beat-down” Brown with a coveted spot on the show, hoping to lure in viewers who just want to see how it all goes down.

In fact, it seems that SNL is turning into the most popular stop on the celebrity redemption tour. Check out who’s hosting next month. Hell, we wouldn’t be surprised if Charlie Sheen was on there next.

When I groaned after No Strings Attached ended, my friend turned to me and said, “If you hate romance, don’t go see romantic comedies!” And those who have read my reviews before probably already know that I’m not a sucker for romance. So you would think that I might enjoy a comedy about platonic sex buddies Emma and Adam (played by Nathalie Portman and Ashton Kutcher). They have their simple romance-free rules, just in case they start falling for each other. But as we all know, in the world of romantic comedies, rules are made to be broken. Corny jokes and unrealistic situations ensue.

Portman and Kutcher are beautiful people, no one can deny that. It’s not hard to watch them on screen. But after seeing Portman’s work in Black Swan, there’s just no comparison. She is capable of challenging herself as an actress, but No Strings Attached is the kind of movie that comes out a hundred times in a year. A girl with commitment issues “unexpectedly” reveals that her heart isn’t made of stone. Not completely original. I’m not yet convinced that Kutcher can take on tougher roles than the cute, flawless love interest, but he owes it to himself to at least try something new.

There are a lot of minor characters who the audience is forced to become invested in, but don’t get any reward. Abby Elliot, known for being a current cast member on SNL, could have used a lot more screen time. The same goes for Mindy Kaling (The Office), Olivia Thirlby (Juno), Kevin Kline, and Ludacris. And there’s a puppy, who’s a complete scene-stealer. Unfortunately rather than getting to know their characters, we’re forced to sit through almost two hours of Adam and Emma will-they-won’t-they.

Every movie has some redeeming qualities, though, and this one has two: its use of technology…and Ludacris. Unlike the majority of this unrealistic movie (Adam’s dad gets together with Adam’s ex-girlfriend just for an example off the top of my head), the use of technology was actually clever. When Adam and his friends analyze text messages and voicemails going back and forth between him and Emma, it was pretty reminiscent of some conversations between my friends. (Ever have one of those conversations: “OMG, he texted me ‘hi.’ What do I say back?” and then debate possible responses for an hour?) That’s the one great thing about romantic comedies; they’re usually not in production for an extended period of time, so they are pretty relevant.

Overall, if you’re unlike me and are looking to lose yourself in a simple romantic comedy with a couple of clever, check out No Strings Attached. It will definitely deliver. If you’re hoping for a movie with a little more meat that makes you feel something, go watch one of the Academy Award front-runners instead (try The King’s Speech if you haven’t seen it yet).

There are only two more nights of Hanukkah. Sad. If you’re one of the lucky girls out there who still gets a sick present for every one of the 8 (crazy) nights, kudos to you. Bitch. If you’re like us here at CollegeCandy, you got a Starbucks gift card from your grandpa for $18 and a “what? I don’t do enough for you all year?” guilt trip from your mom.

For those of you who fall into the latter category, don’t fret; CollegeCandy’s got your back. We’ve still got two Hanukkah hotties to go. Because at the end of the day, as your Hanukkah candles are burning low and dripping wax all over your desk, flipping through pictures of Jake Gyllenhaal’s six-pack, Drake’s tasty mug, Zach Braff’s adorableness, Mark Salling’s general hotness, Jason Segel’s not-so-full frontal and Daniel Radcliffe’s across-the-pond sexiness, is way better than unwrapping a new Michael Kors watch.

Andy Samburg is the kind of Jew that gives us faith. Faith that Jewish guys who are taller than 5’6 exist. Faith that the stereotypical Jew can be hot. Faith that there are Jewish boys who don’t become doctors, lawyers or investment bankers. He’s like a dream come true and our enormous crush on this SNL funny man is borderline inappropriate.

How many guys can pull of that cute side-smile while still rocking that I-just-rolled-out-of-bed-but-I-can-still-wear-a-tie look?  How many guys can share the screen with Justin Timberlake….and steal the show!? The boy can do no wrong. Hell, Andy could give me a d*ck in a box for Hanukkah and I’d write him a thank you note.

Wowza, we thought last week was bad! This week just womped it! There have been all kinds of crazy flying around this week, and it’s only getting worse. At the rate we’re going, nervous for what’s to come next week. Cheating, drugs, trashing hotel rooms, you know, just another typical week in Hollywood.

Super 2-Hour TV Special

1. Charlie Sheen has lost it. Earlier this week, Charlie was hospitalized after being found in a trashed hotel room at the Plaza Hotel in Manhattan. Reports suggest that it was a drug and alcohol related incident, but his reps maintain that he had an allergic reaction to a medication. And then there was the girl (prostitute? porn star?) hiding in the bathroom. She’s pressing charges against Charlie because he was acting like a looney-bird. Oh and did we mention that Denise and his kids were across the hall? Classy, Charlie.

2. Howard K. Stern, or Anna Nicole Smith’s boyfriend, was found guilty of conspiracy. Psychiatrist Khristine Eroshevich and Howard K. Stern were both found guilty of conspiring to provide drugs to the former star before her death in 2007. Although Stern made a statement saying he was acquitted on several counts relating “to the appropriateness of the medication,” he was still found guilty on account that he obtained drugs for her under false names. No one’s sure if either of them will end up in jail or not, but their sentencing hearing will be on January 6th.

3. Miley’s parents are getting divorced. And he wants joint custody. They are splitting because of “irreconcilable differences” which usually means we won’t find out anything. The couple has been married for seventeen years, or as long as Miley’s been alive. Sad news for Miley…but I bet there are some new angsty songs brewing in that head of hers.

4. Mariah Carey is preggers! Don’t act surprised, I know you already knew that. But still, we’ve been waiting for the official announcement for some time now. They confirmed on The Today Show and said they wanted to keep their privacy, but Thandie Newton accidentally blabbed it on The View earlier this week! Oopsies. Anyway, congrats to Nick and Mariah, we wish you the best of luck!

5. Celine Dion had her twins! Yay! They were born on Saturday October 23, 2010 but they’ve gone all week without names. They finally named the boys Nelson and Eddy after Nelson Mandela and Eddy Marnay. Can’t wait to watch these little guys grow up!

Mini-Series Webisode

1. Scarlett Johansson and Anne Hathaway will be hosting SNL episodes next month! Both have hosted before, but this season of SNL has been pretty funny so the expectations are high. Exciting!

2. In case you didn’t get enough of Avatar in the first movie, don’t worry! James Cameron has confirmed he’s making Avatar 2 and Avatar 3! So that blue catsuit you bought for Halloween will be good for the next few years.

3. I know you were really concerned, but for the record: Kat Von D and Jesse James never broke up and they’re still together. Awesome.

4. Step Up 4 is coming! Well actually, Step Up 4ever. Eek! Maybe by 2012 they’ll have something cooler than 3D to release it in! Like, “reach out and touch his abs” vision.

5. Captain America, you can save me any day. Cue damsel in distress mode.
