I am sure a little part of all of us wanted to be famous at one point in our lives.  A little piece of my heart wants to sing on ‘American Idol,’ design a dress for an Olympian figure skater (kudos, Vera Wang), or get insulted by Kanye West on live television.  Whichever way you put it, being famous does not seem that bad…but the getting there is tough.  Unless you are Justin Bieber whose ‘getting there’ involved a YouTube video and a cute haircut. Needless to say, I am impressed.

But besides YouTube, there are other ways you can become famous in lightning bolt fashion. If you long to walk red carpets, get chased by paparazzi and rub elbows with Hollywood’s A-listers, take a little advice from these fameballs on how to get real famous, real fast.

Get Fat (Kirsti Alley, Kevin Federline)
It’s been a long time since the woman who found fame on Cheers and later stole my heart in Look Who’s Talking (one of my favorite adolescent movies out there) was the topic of pop culture conversation. That is until she got fat. Then skinny. Then graced the tabloid covers once again grasping a donut and looking into the camera lens with 10 double chins. And now Kirstie’s showing up on Oprah, starting her own weight loss line (??) and starring in, Kirstie Alley’s Big Life, a reality show about her quest to lose weight. Again. Read More »

Not too long ago, a woman by the name of Gabourey Sidibe graced us with her (incredibly talented) presence in Precious. Not too long after that, she was nominated for ‘Best Actress’ at the Oscars.   That is quite the achievement for a woman discovered minutes before being handed the script for Precious.

Beyond her insane ability to serenade America with her acting talents, the girl is a hoot.  You heard her on the Oscar red carpet mid-spin, “If fashion was porn this would be the money shot.”  Needless to say, I’m a Team Gabby all the way.

After deeply establishing my ‘You go girl’ attitude towards the new found Hollywood talent, (and after hearing Oprah’s amazing tribute to her) I felt angry and resentful when Sandra Bullock took home the ‘Best Actress’ trophy at the Academy Awards. OK, that’s putting it lightly. I stood up and screamed at the TV. Yes, I understand it was “Bullock’s year,” and yes, I’ve always loved Sandy, but it was like the Taylor Swift VMA situation all over again. I just wanted to jump through my TV and pull a Kanye: “Imma let you finish, Sandra, but we all know Gabby had the best performance of the year.” Read More »

Rural America Welcomes You, Not-So-Pretty People!

Ok, so not in so many words, but a recent study out of the University of Georgia claims that “less attractive” people would see much more happiness and success in rural communities than in the big city.

Why?

“In rural areas, relationships are less about choice and more about who is already living in the community.”

Damn, the truth hurts.

The study goes on to say what we all already know: life is a whole lot easier for pretty people. Which explains why people like Audrina Patridge get invited to movie premieres and why the world is so enthralled with the success of Susan Boyle.

So, I guess I’ve been going about the whole dating thing all wrong. Maybe my best approach for finding a BF is switching to Agricultural Studies?
