Everyone and their mother was out Thursday night for the arrival of Victoria and David Beckham at the Los Angels International Airport. Cameras were flashing, people were screaming, Victoria was wearing something tight and black…a repeat of every other time this family has been photographed.

What I don’t understand is why CNN felt the need to cover it.

Much like the Paris Hilton overload, I can’t quite understand why we’re all so interested in this family. Sure, David Beckham is a great soccer player, who also happens to be hot. And his wife likes to shop. And wear outfits that push her boobs up to her chin. But other than that, are they interesting? Read More »

I’m not quite sure why, but I really, really can’t stand Jennifer Aniston.

It might be the media. Ever since her break-up with Brad Pitt (which seemed to be more his doing than hers…at least action wise), she hasn’t exactly been the golden darling of the paparazzi she was during her Friends years. If she isn’t covering her face or frowning, she’s giving interviews telling everyone that she’s “perfectly fine” and “completely happy”. Combine those lackluster quotes with movies that have, for the most part, died a quiet death at the box office, and you’ve got a movie star who’s more than just grumpy and boring—you’ve got a movie star who’s losing her appeal.

Aniston’s partnership with SmartWater isn’t winning her any fans either. As CC’s own Solmaaz pointed out, all those cheesy pictures of Jen gripping a bottle of the stuff do nothing but remind us how gluttonous Hollywood celebs are. It’s not enough that the girl probably has over 30 million in the bank, she has to go and become an advertising whore to a giant corporation. Read More »

Being in a sorority, I’m always looking to make the world a better place, (and not just for underage drinkers everywhere.)

I’ll admit it’s not entirely selfless. The more philanthropy you do, the better your stance in the “Greek life” community, and the better that is, the better house your sorority or fraternity gets for the following year. But seeing as we’re so small we’re going to get stuck with the same small suite we always get no matter what we do — we tend to actually do charity for charity’s sake.

But you don’t have to be “Greek” to give back to your community, (though it’s my obligation as a sorority girl to urge you to rush in the fall *fake smile*.) In fact, all you have to do is shop!

Yup, charity is right around every corner we turn nowadays from Product Red to the One campaign. Companies everywhere are coming up with clever ways to literally sell good works.

At first, being the jaded girl I am, thought that buying these products did little actual good for the people they claim to help, and that celebs and businesses were just acting like grown up sorors and frats, spending the time to get the good PR.

But with how rapidly “shopping for a cause” and “helping others never goes out of style” became in style, I recognized that regardless of the reasons, these people are getting the word out there and raising awareness. Read More »
