I am pretty happy with myself. It took three torturous middle school years and four years of high school full of insecurity to get me to the point where I actually like who I am and how I look (most days). But sometimes I see certain celebs, and I think, “I would kill for her (insert body part here).” I know celebs have stylists, personal trainers and hair/make-up people who help them look amazing, so it’s hard not to get jealous (because I can barely curl my own hair).
This isn’t a post about how I feel inferior to celebs and hate myself. This is about how I’m totally happy with my body, but if someone offered me Britney Spears’ stomach circa 2000, I would have no problem saying, “Yes,please!” So here’s to you hot celebs, you have the best body parts, and I may just have to kill you and steal them right off your hot bods.

Now that all the presents have been opened, the cookies have gone stale and all the decorations have been disassembled, it’s time to start that awful period of reflection…similar to when you try to relive your Saturday nights in order to find your cell phone (or your underwear).
So, while we’re looking back at all the wonderful moments (and the not so wonderful ones, i.e. that time you threw up in your new boyfriend’s bed) here are a few articles that made my year just a smidgen better. I know for a fact after reading them you’ll feel ten thousand times better about all of your not-so-great moments of 2011. Read More »
Let me start off by saying I don’t ever plan on becoming famous. I don’t even want to be famous. Enduring the public 24/7 is not my idea of fun. With that being said, there are some famous people I kind of would LOVE to be friends with. Also keep in mind some of these people I’m basing on either public appearances or characters they have played. I have no real connection to them.
I wish I could tell you that I want to be friends with these celebrities based on their stance on some political thing, or that they stand up for a cause I believe in. But it’s not even that deep. They are funny, attractive, and I feel like going to jail with them would possibly be one of the most exciting nights of my life. So in no specific order:
Last week, the cast of Glee serenaded us for a full 90 minutes. (Get the full Glee-cap here.) And because of that extra half hour of musical enjoyment, I’ve had Glee on the brain nonstop. But not only have I been thinking about the Lady Gaga-inspired episode of last week and re-watching ‘Born This Way’ on YouTube again and again….and again, I’ve also been looking ahead. Like, way ahead. To episodes that have yet to be written and characters that have yet to be created.
Call this genius planning or wild fantasy, but I’ve got a few guest star suggestions for ya, Glee…
10. Kanye West.“Yo Sue, I’m really happy for you…I’mma let you finish. But Voldermort is the best evil villain of all time. The best evil villain of all time!”
9. Jennifer Hudson. Since she’s lost all that weight Jennifer Hudson has been getting lots and lots of media attention. But I’d like to think she’d take some time to pay a visit to her home channel, Fox 5, and hang with the Glee gang.
8. Rebecca Black. What? Come on. Don’t give me that look. It’s not like she wouldn’t fit right in with that crazy cast of characters. And it’s not like Glee isn’t going to be using her music in an upcoming episode anyway. Why not let Rebecca Black join in on the fun while we still know her name?
7. Britney Spears. I know they already covered her music in that whole dental hygiene hallucination episode that left me and Brittany a bit puzzled, but I think the pop princess herself should make an appearance. I mean, what better way to end the season than with a Brittney Spears and Brittany S. Pierce duet? Read More »
You didn’t leave all your work until Sunday night did you? What!?! You did. That’s okay. No stress. You’ll get it all done. We’re so sure that you’ll get it all done that we’re giving you a few more excuses to procrastinate. This week we’re cracking up over our favorite Tina Fey clips. Why? Because she’s the funniest women we know.
It’s January, so you know what that means in Hollywood – it’s awards season! Kicking off the big ones is the Golden Globes, airing THIS Sunday, Jan. 16, and I for one cannot WAIT!
The Golden Globes merge television and movie awards and are sure to bring out some truly fabulous celebs. It’s (almost) goes without saying that this is the best awards show out there. But we all know what’s most important (besides the fashion) and that’s not who’s presenting: it’s who will be taking home the awards. Which movie will be crowned Best Drama or Best Comedy? Which actress impressed everyone the most? Who will make the drunkest acceptance speech?
So, with no further ado, here are my predictions on who will most likely win and who SHOULD win the biggest categories of the night:
There’s a lot of girl talk here on CollegeCandy, but not as much talk about actual girls. So today we thought we’d change that. In honor of national Women’s Self-Empowerment Week coming to an end this week, I bring you ten girls worth gabbing about. Ten fabulous females. They’re smart, and they’re savvy. They’re funny and fun. They’re intelligent and accomplished. They are ten truly empowering women. Remember, just because the week is almost over, does not mean we should just stop celebrating our favorite women.
10. Sandra Bullock. Recently Bullock has begun to present herself as a truly empowering woman in my mind. She handled the whole Jesse James thing with such grace and elegance that you can’t help but love her. Plus, she actually left her cheating husband, which is more than you can say for some people.
9. Queen Latifah. An actor. A singer. A producer. A model. And also, a writer. I bet you didn’t know about her autobiography, Ladies First: Revelations of a Strong Woman. She tells her life story openly and honestly, without apology, reminding girls to “keep your roots.” Where we come from helps to shape who we are, after all.
8. Ellen DeGeneres. She’s never been afraid to be anything other than who she is, but she also has the good sense to be able to laugh about it. And just about everything else too. She’s done everything from starring in her own TV show to starting her own talk show, and judging on American Idol. Now she’s even starting her own record label. She takes life seriously without, taking life seriously.
7. Michelle Obama. A first lady that doesn’t fade into the background. A smart, accomplished, vibrant, woman who doesn’t lose her luster when with her very charismatic husband. She’s been complimented and criticized and handled both the way only a first lady could, but her clothes are just so much better. Read More »
