Word on the street is that Madonna will be gracing us all with her biceps at the half time show of this year’s Super Bowl. Please contain your excitement.

Entertainment Weekly reports that this buzzed-about performance would coincide with her first single release from her upcoming album, due for release spring 2012.

I’ll just go out and say what we’re all thinking here (like always…sigh), much like the year 2012- Madonna at the half time show would be apocalyptic. Not only could she rip apart both teams with one of her hulk-hands but also there would be endless advertisements for her & Lourdes’ Material Girl brand: yikes!

If the visual I’ve just provided does not frighten you enough, please enjoy these 10 hypothetical horrors that will occur if this rumor comes to fruition: Read More »

Tomorrow, February 6th, 2011, all American eyes will be glued to their television sets, but not everyone will be so into the game. Maybe it’s because football isn’t their thing or maybe it’s because they wagered way too much money in the puppy bowl and are now majorly stressed. Whatever the reason, no one should be left out on all the Super Bowl Sunday fun. So put all those free beers at the Super Bowl party to use and let’s get hammered play a drinking game!

For those who know next to nothing about football or how it’s played, this is a great way to learn.

Here’s how it’s done:
Everyone split up into teams (Packers and Steelers are playing, for those who are aren’t in the know). Next, everyone pick a player on the offense that they’ll be representing. I totally call Aaron Rodgers! Yum. Basically, every time your player does something good you take a drink. Every time your player or team screws up, you drink more.

Drink assignments are as follows (and if you don’t know what these things are, ask the least judgmental person at the party to explain it. Or at the very least have that person tell you when to drink): Read More »

In this new series we will be following a different CollegeCandy writer for a month as she takes on a personal challenge. This month we’re following Lauren from University of Michigan. She’s going sober for the month of February and will be sharing her ups (like feeling great last weekend!) and downs with us each Saturday.

It’s official: I’ve been 100% sober for a full two weeks! (I’ve even opted out of using mouthwash!) While that may not be such a big deal to some people out there (ahem, mean commenters, ahem), I am really, really proud of myself. Especially after the week I’ve had.

My first week of this challenge was pretty easy, breeezy Cover Girl. The weekdays flew by and then I was back at my parents’ house, where the temptation to drink was pretty minimal. But since then, I’ve survived a steakhouse dinner without wine, a Super Bowl party without beer, and two very serious nights at the bar without shots, shots, shots, shots shots.

On Thursday night I hit a low key bar with a few friends. They sipped on some beers and I sipped on some Diet Cokes. We were all having a great time – talking, catching up, giving guys the eyes across the bar. I really didn’t miss drinking at all, especially when I only spent $3 the entire night (unlike beer and vodka, Diet Coke has free refills at the bar!). But it wasn’t totally smooth sailing; LMFAO came on the jukebox towards the end of the evening, which, as we all know, makes you want to drink. Or chug. I was starting to cave. I was having a hard time remembering why I was doing all this. Seriously, Had Ke$ha or Miley come on next, I probably would have had to run out of the bar screaming. Instead, I took a little sniff of my friends’ SoCo Lime shots, grimaced, and instantly felt better about my decision. Read More »

Who’s Madonna’s latest boy (literally) toy?

What’s in the stars for Paris and Doug?

Is he stringing you along?

Kendra is really sad about the Super Bowl.

Would you wear ultra-high heels?

Behold: the hottest baby ever.

So, who else has a mean hot wing hangover this morning? Seriously, my heartburn is out of control and I didn’t even pound Budweisers last night. In fact, I was so busy licking BBQ sauce off my finders, I couldn’t tell you who threw (kicked? passed?) the winning touchdown. I can, however, tell you the best recipe for some wings. And the best/funniest/awesomest commercials from the Super Bowl.

But before we get to that, I have one question:

What was with all the pantsless commercials? Ugh, I definitely saw more than my fair share of saggy whiteys hanging off the back of old, hairy men. And it was not pretty.

Missed the game? Summary: The Saints (ya know, that team that Kim Kardashian’s BF plays for) beat the Colts (ya know, that team that Kendra Wilkinson’s hubby plays for), and here are the top 10 best commercials of 2010′s Super Bowl: Read More »

Week after week (after week after week…), CollegeCandy and our pal John bring you some of the weirdest, funniest, and saddest things he hears on his college campus. And we know he’s not the only one who hears this stuff. Join the Overheard revolution! Listen in on some weirdos’ conversations and share them in the comments or send ‘em over. You know there’s a lot of funny things to be heard on your campus, so take off those (faux) Burberry ear muffs and tune in.

(Guy, talking on the phone.)

Guy: Know how you win an argument? You spank ‘em. Can’t nobody argue with a good spank.

(Two girls, browsing in a convenience store.)

Girl 1: Twix?

Girl: 2: Nah. That doesn’t really lubricate my gears.

(Girl, yelling, behind me at a basketball game.)

Girl: No … ! Don’t dribble! Please don’t dribble! If you dribble, it’ll never come back! I’ll never come back! Read More »

So it’s been a week since I put down the bottle of Jack. And Ketel. And Captain’s. And… well, everything.

At first, it was easy. After chugging rum out of a flask last Friday night and inhaling two giant slices of pizza after a few too many margaritas on Saturday night, I was more than excited to stay away from the hooch for a little while. I walked around my apartment in a hungover haze on Sunday, unable to do much besides watch a Millionaire Matchmaker marathon on my couch all day.

“Remember this feeling when you wanna go out and party,” I told myself as I made yet another cup of instant coffee.

Since I normally don’t drink much on weeknights (after that time I had to give a presentation in class and I was still drunk from the night before), it was smooth sailing for most of the week. Even the daily IMs from my guy friends asking me if I was still sober (OK, betting me that I wasn’t still sober) didn’t bother me. After all, being sober on a Monday wasn’t anything new to me.

But then Thursday hit and I felt like a Pavlovian dog, salivating for booze. It didn’t help that I was listening to my iTunes and every single song that came up reminded me of a bar. First Ke$ha, then Journey and then, to dig the knife in a little deeper, Madonna’s Like a Prayer (only my favorite drinking song of all time). I cursed Steve Jobs. Read More »

My name is Sammie and I…am a Giants fan.

It is a sad truth that only served me well three years ago when we pulled out the fantastic miracle that was Super Bowl XLII.  This year, at the very least, it isn’t the Patriots in the Super Bowl, but the New Orleans Saints and the Indianapolis Colts.  Two very interesting teams, which for some sad reason have players I, as a pop culture junkie as well as a sports fan, recognize from their liaisons with Kardashians (Saints Running Back, Reggie Bush) and their surprisingly hilarious guest spots on Saturday Night Live (Colts QB, Peyton Manning).

But there’s more to these two powerhouses than those hotties, and tomorrow night’s game is gonna be a biggie. Read More »
