Recappin\' The Hills...

So, I was gone for a few weeks and
missed out on a lot of Hills recapping.
I was so excited to get back into it…
until I actually watched tonight’s totally
sucky episode. Like most episodes of
The Hills, nothing really happened. In
fact, the entire show can be broken
down into two sentences:
Lauren and Audrina make up.
Spencer acts like a douche in
front of his Nana. Read More...

G.W.W.E.!: John “May We Have Another” Mayer

john.JPG(We’re back with another weekly installment of G.W.W.E [Guys We Want to Eff]. This week we decided to take on a longstanding heartthrob, John Mayer. Mr. Mayer has been turning us on with his love songs since 2001, and we all know his tunes have been on our sexy-time playlists for years. But unlike some other rock stars, John Mayer looks good with or without that guitar, which is why he is totally a G.W.W.E.)

I went to my first John Mayer show back in 2002. The audience - full of shrieking girls like myself - was small. Small enough that I got to meet, touch and take a picture with the sexy singer. Although, to my dismay, I did not have the chance to eff him.

I didn’t wash my sweater for 3 months.

I was in love with John Mayer: his sexy voice, his adorably floppy hair, his lyrics. And while he went through a weird “I’m too busy jamming to take a shower” phase, he came out of it looking better than ever. Even the sexy starlets of Hollywood agree.

John has effed a lot of ladies: Jennifer Love Hewitt, Jessica Simpson, Minka Kelly, and, most recently, Jennifer Aniston. If he can land so many hot, successful women, he must be as good at effing as I always imagined. Read More »

Celebrity Chic on the Cheap: Miley Cyrus Sports the Boho Chic

miley_cyrus.jpg

[Every week our style guru takes a celebrity look and breaks it down for you, our poor college fashionista. What does that mean? It means that while the celebrities are spending $5,000 on an ensemble, you don’t have to.

All you have to do is click on the goods and - boom - you can buy the entire ensemble. Yes, we know; there is a spot for her in heaven.]

With this Indian Summer we’ve got going on- it’s not warm enough to wear the sundresses or cute jean shorts, but it’s not cold enough to wear all those fabulous jackets and oversized sweaters - we are left with three options:

1) Giant armpit stains in our sweaters
2) 24/7 goose bumps in our tanks
3) Resort to a nice balance: the Boho Chic.

Obvi, number 3 is the way to go. Boho Chic is just perfection for those warm fall days that we all love so much. And the way Tween-Queen Miley is rocking it I just want to snag her style (even if she is, like, 12).

She looks cute and chic without being cheesey, and is one celebrity that actually know hows to dress. her. age.

So, here we go:

David Beckham’s Fish Fingers

picture-1.jpg
(We realize the title sounds gross, but get your head out of the gutter.)

The story in Hollywood seems to be that if you are already famous for one thing, it must mean you can do everything. Like design a perfume. Or an entire clothing line. Or sing. Or run an entire state.

Some of those progressions make a bit more sense than others, so I guess we can kinda, sorta understand. Like Lindsay Lohan - she grew up doing theater in school, so she can clearly both act and sing. Or like David Beckham’s newest venture… into fish sticks.

Beckham, only the sexiest man ever, is a dad, husband and amazing soccer star. Obviously all of those skills stem from fried sticks of fish (with Omega 3!). I mean, that makes sense, right? He is an athlete + he eats, so, naturally, he knows everything there is to know about sticks o’ fish!

Which leads me to believe that anyone who eats these “Fish Fingers” will somehow end up looking like David Beckham. So, I am in. Where can I get a few (boxes) of these things to pass out to every guy I know?

OMFG: Is LC Leaving The Hills!?

lauren-conrad-joans-on-third-03.jpgI’m having a breakdown. I can’t breathe. OMG. I am so upset I am eating a slice of cake.

Could the rumors be true?
Is Lauren Conrad packing up and moving out of The Hills?

LC recently stated, “It’s coming to a point where I love this show so much, but I’m ready to kind of walk away. I’ve been doing it for five years now. Five years on TV is a really, really long time.”

True story, LC. Not to mention the fact that the show is slightly unbelievable these days. Come on; why are you still going to school? You just presented a freaking EMMY! How is the show your real life when you are a celeb in real life, not a struggling college student interning for a monster? And it is kind of annoying that we are all forced to pretend to wonder what happens with you and your friends/boy toys when you are all over the gossip mags/websites/etc.

But still - I am totally crying.

If Lauren leaves the show, that means there will be. no. show. And that means that I will have nothing to live for (besides Gossip Girl, Ugly Betty, and The Office, of course). Who will I tear apart every week if Heidi and Spencer are no longer on TV? How will I feel better about myself if I don’t have Stephanie Pratt to compare myself to?

How will I go on?

Style Idol: Anne Hathaway Got (Fashion) Smart

anne-hathaway.jpg[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. Each week, I will be highlighting my Style Idol of the week: a celebrity who consistently shows keen fashion sense and whose closet I would raid in a heartbeat. Of course, no celebs are immune to the occasional “what the hell were they thinking?” moment, but for the most part, these celebs look foxy and fabulous and inspire us all to do the same.]

My style idol this week is someone who has recently come into her own and proven to the world that you can come out of a (very) bad break-up stronger and more beautiful than ever before: Anne Hathaway.

Ever since her life seemed to be falling apart early this summer when her ex was accused of fraud and tax evasion, Anne has been kicking some major booty. Not only is she getting rave reviews and Oscar buzz for her role in Rachel Getting Married, she’s doin’ it all while looking gorgeous and glam.

Let’s be honest; Anne hasn’t always been totally up on style or considered a fashion icon. Lately, however, she’s been seen everywhere sporting well thought-out ensembles that are trendy yet unique, classy, and do a phenomenal job of highlighting her long & lean frame.

She’s often seen in darling and feminine dresses, is a big fan of belts, and, when on the red carpet, she’s fantastic at throwing back to old Hollywood glamour with gorgeous gowns by designers like Marchesa and Dior. This combination of new-found style and a killer new haircut has turned her into a bonafide fashion star and officially has me drooling over her closet. Read More »

“Entourage” Forgets That Non-Models Exist

entourage.jpg[Just to preface things, because I know some of you out there are probably gonna surmise as much, I am indeed 500 pounds, have never had a boyfriend, am missing one eyebrow, and am so intimidated by other people’s attractiveness that I cry myself to sleep every night atop of a pile of melting cookie dough.]

It’s no secret that here at CC, we love Entourage. HBO and Showtime never cease to entertain with shows like Dexter, Weeds, and True Blood, but for some reason, Entourage has always held a special place in our hearts (and no, it’s not just because of this).

Besides the witty and quippy writing, Entourage is almost always hilarious, last night’s episode being no exception (everyone trips on shrooms in the desert and Ari desperately calls Lloyd to get him through his ordeal). The characters are strange yet likeable, and the Hollywood “scene” has never been drawn quite so wackily. So yeah, we love the show. Love it enough to stay up late on a Sunday night or TiVo it to watch immediately after work.

But here’s the thing: there’s pretty much no way to feel good about your body once the credits roll. A show created, produced, directed, and mostly written by men, Entourage is bursting at the seams with “hot” women. I’ve been watching for 5 seasons, and I honestly can’t remember a time when a female character was anything less than absolute runway material.

Everyone has big boobs. Everyone is thin and tall enough to dunk a b. ball like Michael Jordan. It’s like the casting director opened up a Victoria’s Secret catalogue, pointed to every single girl in there, and made sure she got a spot on the show. Read More »

J. Piv, Don’t Make Us Relinquish Our Love For You…

jeremypiven1.jpghayden-panettiere-sexy-cowgirl.jpgSo yeah. At least for the past week, we’ve been featuring Jeremy Piven a good amount on our site. Why? Mostly because we’re suckers for a well placed smirk, but also because it’s kind of funny to have Entourage’s Ari Gold as your mascot.

But we just might reconsider our devotion if reports like this keep coming out.

According to PrettyBoring, our precious Piven was “doing his best” to mack on 19-year-old Hayden Panettiere at some post-Emmy party a few weeks back. Although there’s no source linked out to the report, if this is true, we will be pissed because A) Hayen in 19 years old. We’re in our mid-twenties, Piven can totally make us his May-December, but he should really stay away from a girl who is still two years too young to legally drink, and B) she’s already in a relationship with that weird looking guy from Heroes. Everyone knows that.

Lots of people who write blogs seem to think J. Piv is a prime assh*le. We’re going to hold out until there’s actual taped proof (you know how some people won’t believe in God until they see his face in a grilled cheese sandwich?), and until that day…we’ll love every possibly smarmy inch of him.
