Candy Dish: MTV Rigs VMAs for Britney Spears

Oh God. Lindsay Lohan wants to be a mom.

Scary baby preacher.

The NYT takes on your filthy habit.

The tales of self-love always have a happy ending.

The VMAs in 2 minutes (which would have been long enough!).

Joe Francis shot down by Donald Trump.

Triumph the Comic Dog visits the RNC….for me to poop on.

Don’t let that smile fool ya; Ann Curry is a biatch.

The History of Britney Spears and the VMAs (In Video)

britney_spears.jpgFirst they said she was.

Then they said she wasn’t.

Then they said she was.

Then (annoying) Perez said she wasn’t.

So, which is it? Will Britney be performing at the VMAs this evening? Should we all tune in to watch her poorly lip sync her way back into that thriving career she once had? Should I stop doing everything else and prepare to watch her go sh*t nuts on stage?

To say that Britney Spears fell off the crazy tree and hit every branch on the way down, is an understatement. She was at the top of her game until that infamous Vegas marriage; then it all seemed to unravel.

We can still remember Britney’s glory days – back when she had abs of steel and didn’t look like a hot tranny mess on stage. In honor of the possible VMA performance tonight (that we are secretly praying for), we have compiled the videos from her previous 5 VMA appearances.

She did it all: danced in a slutty outfit, danced with a snake, made-out with Madonna, totally bombed a performance….but no matter what, she always got people talking.

We just can’t wait to see what the topic is this year… Read More »


Candy Dish: Who Needs a Doctor When You Have a Dog?

Puppies are cute, snuggly Cancer detectors.

This can’t be the actual video, right?

Another book I really don’t want to read, but most definitely will.

You can never trust a man to do anything right.

I will never look at Ramen the same way again.

Why are we so addicted to watching rich people on TV?

Want to hate Spencer and Heidi even more? Find out how much money they rake in…for being annoying.

The Clothes that Got me Laid: better than a wingman.

Everyone hates “Project Runway” this season.

Ugh – I should have been a naval architect.

Looks like I won’t be watching the VMAs after all.


Candy Dish: Britney Spears Nominated for a VMA?

If his abs and medals aren’t enough, here is yet another reason to love Michael Phelps.

Blame Daniel Radcliffe and his love of nudity for the delay in Harry Potter flicks.

Being Tom Cruise’s daughter has not dampened her cuteness.

There is only one person Kanye West loves more than himself…and it’s Scarlet Johansson?

John Mayer – I think I love him even more.

Did you know that women spend 3,267 hours getting ready to go out?!

How to be a good hookup.

Christmas in August?

Question: People really dress like this? Answer: Ew, yes.

You thought the Chinese were bad? Australian mayor picks on “ugly ducklings“.


Proof That MTV is Getting Crappier By The Year

Looks like MTV should change their name to OCTV (Other Crap TV).

That’s all they seem to be showing these days, anyway. Crap. Crap that has more to do with stupid fame whores than new and exciting tune-age. Has anyone heard actual music on MTV lately (besides the stuff they play during The Hills)?

Yeah, me either.


CollegeCandy Panics at the Disco

For a group of twenty-something young lads, the guys of Panic at the Disco have made quite a name for themselves. Their first album, A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out, went double platinum. Before they were even 20 years old, the guys were blowing up the stage at the MTV Video Music Awards. And now, three years later, Panic (no more exclamation point) at the Disco is touring the world with Pretty. Odd., their wildly successful new album.

CollegeCandy got to sit down with Jon Walker, Panic’s super hot and talented bassist, to find out the secrets behind the music, how the band is handling all the success and just what a group of guys does on a giant tour bus. (Well, CollegeCandy was actually lying on the couch, but we assume Jon was sitting down on the other end of the line…)

CC: So, you guys are back on the road again. How is the tour going?

Jon: This tour right now is actually really fun. The Hush Sound is a really great band and Phantom Planet is out on tour with us right now, as well, and they’re also a really great band. We’ve been on this tour for about 2 months now we have about three or four shows left. That’s pretty exciting.

CC: And what do you guys have coming up next?

Jon: We are wrapping up this tour and going over to Europe. That’s our main focus right now.

CC: Wow. The tour never ends. What do you like best about being on the road?

Jon: Just playing shows, I guess. It’s fun to be able to travel around with your friends and hang out everyday, but some days it’s not always that fun until you get on stage and remember why you are out here doing this.

CC: Yeah, I am sure being cooped up on a bus all day isn’t always so glamorous. What do you guys do all day to pass the time?

Jon: Well, luckily Nintendo recently came out with Mario Kart for the Wii. That’s really pretty much what we’ve been doing . We’ve been writing a lot as well on this tour and we’ve been trying to demo some songs. In between Mario Kart and demo-ing songs and sleep… that’s pretty much the top 3 things we do on the bus.

Leave Britney Alone! (Or Don’t)

Leave Britney alone!

No? You don’t want to either? Like the majority of America, I watched the Video Music Awards for one thing and one thing only: Britney’s comeback.

Criss Angel was going to help her walk though mirrors. Maybe there’d be smoke. A snake? High wires? Explosions! Something big.

At 9:00 pm on the dot I ran out of the shower and sat in front of the TV like a little kid on Saturday morning, eagerly awaiting one of the “biggest comebacks in decades”.

And then, we all know what happened.

I don’t know a lot about dancing, but I know that when you start off your routine looking like an awkward 7th grader at their first boy/girl dance, something is wrong. I also know almost falling over in your shoes and needing your dancers to help you up and down steps is something my grandma does (except my grandma doesn’t use dancers…that would be excessive).

50 Cent seemed confused, Rihanna laughed her ass off, and Mindfreak Moron was nowhere to be found. There was no smoke, no theme, and not even a good costume (you’ve had two kids, girl. Give those sequined undies a rest). Read More »
