Uhmmm… Isn’t black supposed to be slimming????? Well, there’s no sugarcoating this. Oprah got FAT again, y’all! The plus-sized talk show host showed off her very full figure at the opening of Tyler Perry’s new film and TV studio in Atlanta this past weekend. Is she gonna blame this on her thyroid again????

You got other European countries mad at Ireland for guaranteeing deposits, fearing that money from their country would rush in. European stocks are at 20-year lows. Iceland could be the first to fall, with the government stepping in Monday to assume sweeping powers. Bet you’re feeling smart now you didn’t fall for that 15.5% return on snow wolves scam they were running. That bailout plan we fretted so dearly about, “looks like a pebble tossed into a churning sea,” says the New York Times. (Illustration: Getty)

Traveling around the country for over a week and a half, Havaianas Color War is a two day event with free make-your-own flip-flop booths and a fierce, four-part challenge. Students in teams of six compete against other teams in games of Twister, Sliders, Limbo and Balloon Darts. Each challenge features a special Havaianas twist. The team with the highest score at each school will win the title of Ultimate Havaianas Color War Champion and win a free four day vacation to Havaianas’ headquarters – beautiful, gloriously sunny Brazil!

Last week we talked about how to protect yourself against breast cancer before the age of 40 and how to join the fight against the disease. Today we’re honoring sexy vixens who kicked breast cancer ass and are continuing to bring awareness to the disease. It’s important to remember that breast cancer does not discriminate. The American Cancer Society estimates 182,460 new cases of invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed among women in the United States this year. Here’s a look at some well known faces who beat the disease and lived to tell about it.
    
There’s a reason, ladies, and it has to do with science. Researchers at the University of California recently studied the preferences of single women and found that women prefer brains over biceps, something I have been telling people for years. However, this finding doesn’t only apply to long term relationships; when lookin’ for a little late night action (read: one night stand), women also tend to go for the more intelligent men. When considering evolution, it makes sense that women would want to settle down with a smart man: so they could potentially produce smarter children. But researchers were shocked about the one night stand situation. I am not. We all know there is that awkward time - usually around 30-60 minutes - between taking the man home for a little fun and actually having said fun. A time that is filled with awkward conversation about your classes, the pictures on your wall and…I don’t know….politics? And who wants to have conversation with an idiot? Also, a smarter man is probably more likely to know how to please a woman, as opposed to a moron who can’t tell a va-jay from an elbow. I’m not sure this study was really necessary (I mean, duh), but it does help me prove to men that women aren’t as concerned with looks as they are. Oh, and it gives hope to those computer engineers out there that they too can get a little late night booty.
Unfortunately, your favorite pizza/ burrito/ burger/ neighborhood CVS closed 30 minutes ago and you are left to fend for yourself. Right. Because you could barely get your key in the front door, let alone boil water for some mac and cheese. (Mmmmm mac and cheeeeeese.) Even a frozen pizza is much too difficult to figure out right now. Turn on an oven? To 350? Then wait 30 minutes? WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?! Lucky for you, the food industry has been busy creating products for people on the go, which also happen to work quite well for people who are too-drunk-to-function. Yes, that would be you. Just stock up on any and all of these little guys and you are good to go when the Beer Pong tourny is over and you can’t remember your name (or how you made it home with one shoe and a missing bra…): (more…)

Style Idol: The Hills Have Eyes (For Fashion) - Lauren ConradPosted by: justd in college
Although I regularly watch The Hills, the show honestly irritates the crud out of me, and I think I’m an odd man out when I say I am not a big fan of LC. But even I can’t deny that the girl’s got a great style. She mixes California cool with high fashion for a nice combination that brings out her fresh-faced good looks. Whether jaunting around LA with her BFFs and her puppy, partying it up in Vegas, or walking the red carpet at Hollywood events, she looks put together and sexy without being too overt. She does a great job of keeping it simple with basic pieces - jeans and plain tops or simple dresses - in colors and cuts that are perfect for her, and pairs it all with light accessories for the total cute package. Of course, I’d probably dress really well too if I got paid $75K per episode to be filmed partying, “working” (‘cause we all know those jobs aren’t real) and acting like a total bitch. But maybe I’m just bitter. (more…)
Speaking of fantasies, RDJ just admitted to Now Magazine that he used to be a compulsive masturbator! Which is really pretty strange! [Our exclamation points are because we don’t know how to process this information!]
Hmm. Awkward. Downy goes on to say this:
Good to know that he don’t want to eff his wife’s friends. Also good to know that he believes marriage is sacred. Weird to know that he used to tug it all the time. Some people enjoy sharing, I guess. |

Break out your Spandex and get ready to Limbo! After descending on USC, UC-Boulder, ASU and the University of Arizona, 
Ever notice how you always see a hot chick/ugly dude couple, but never see a smokin’ dude with a non-so-smokin’ lady?
It’s 4:30am. You just got home from the bar and all you want is food. In your belly. Right now.
[Celebrities get paid to look good and serve as a style guide to all us common folk, and part of looking good is flaunting their totally awesome fashion sense. 
Whether he’s spent half of his career in the slammer or not, Robert Downy Jr. has always been a favorite with the ladies. Those lips, those puppy dog eyes…those freaking biceps in Iron Man, RDJ is pure middle-aged fantasy material if I’ve ever seen it.
