True Story

Wesleyan: The Harvard of Central Connecticut

Ouch! Liz Lemon! Locked and loaded.

Happy Birthday, Boons!

I'm giving you everything
all that joy can bring this I swear
This I swear
And all that I want from you
is a promise you will be there
Say you will be there

Happy Birthday, Hooch!

MOST GIRLS want a man with the bling bling
Got my own thing, got the ching ching
I just want real love

MOST GIRLS want a man with the mean green
Don't wanna dance if he can't be everything that I dream of
A man that understands real love

I spit a story backwards, it starts at the ending

I saw this clip the other night on Conan. Never thought about this before but its sooo weird!

JAM #fuckery

Nobody stands in between me and my man
it's me and Mr Jones

What kind of fuckery is this?
You made me miss the Slick Rick gig
You thought I didn't love you when I did
Can't believe you played me out like that

No you ain't worth guest list
Plus one of all them girls you kiss
You can't keep lying to yourself like this
Can't believe you played yourself like this

Cheers! I'll drink to that!

A Joe Biden Beer Koozie?

"Need to keep your soda cold? The Vice President's got you covered. Literally. Our Joe Biden can holder is made in the USA. $10"

If you feel like you MUST have one, you can pick up a koozie on the Obama website.

Sisters are doing it for themselves

Congrats to the ladies from the hysterical movie Bridesmaids!

Don't lose your head!

Pretty hot models, right?

H&M recently admitted that the bodies of most of the models the company features on its website are computer-generated and "completely virtual."

These cyborg model body are designed to better display clothes...which last time I checked were made for humans.

The bodies are "dressed" by drawing on clothes before heads of real women are digitally pasted
on in post-production.

While the bodies are fake, at least there is a little ethnic diversity.

when you dip, i dip, we dip

How many ways can you fry chicken?

McDonald's version of popcorn chicken has joined the well established poultry McFamily, along with Chicken McNuggets and McChicken sandwiches - well, at least for a limited time.

Chicken McBites are bite-sized bits of chicken breast meat, battered and fried, and come in three sizes: snack, regular, and "shareable." They are intended to be dipped into one of McDonald's dipping sauces: honey mustard, hot mustard, barbecue, sweet 'n sour, buffalo, ranch, chipotle BBQ or sweet chili (30-110 calories).

What I am really excited about is the fancy McBites box, designed with a convenient cutout to hold your dipping sauce :)

I live to be model thin, Dress me, I'm your mannequin

Fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld unveiled his latest contemporary line this week - a joint venture with Net-A-Porter.com, the exclusive online retailer.

Net-A-Porter has released 72 pieces from the mostly black and white collection including leather wedge sandals, skirts, jersey dresses, biker jackets, cigarette-cut pants, T-shirts, sweaters, leather collars and tank tops. And, of course, it is all Lagerfeld-cool with a rock 'n' roll edge.

And if you just can't get enough check out this video of the fashion genius interviewing himself. Yes, he interviews himself.

Like a love song babyyyyyy

This is one of those videos that raises more questions than it answers.

OM SHANTI OM!

Finnair flight attendants danced through aisles on last night's overnight Helsinki to Delhi flight to celebrate India's Republic Day, celebrated annually on January 26.

Passengers were treated to Bollywood-style numbers from the crew, captured in a video uploaded to the airline's YouTube channel today.

The show is the latest in a series of flight attendant flash mob-style videos that have hit the web in recent years. Cebu Pacific flight attendants made news in December for their safety demonstration set to "All I Want for Christmas Is You." Prior to that, the carrier made waves with a safety dance set to, well, "Safety Dance."

Bitches eat me up like my name is Russell Stover

Nestle recently launched Maison Cailler in Switzerland and Liechentstein - and these chocolates are pretty cool. Maison Cailler allows customers to discover their "chocolate personality" by first ordering a box of "tasting chocolates." According to the ad, these tasting boxes will then help you build "stronger relationships through chocolate."

These tasting chocolates are an innovative idea that allows the consumer to feel like he/she is making a choice based on his/her personality.

I don't know if I can buy into this one -- taste is a tough thing to personify. Also absent from the website is any information about what ingredients actually make up the chocolates.

Cinderella 'bout to lose the glass off her foot

Jennifer Hartstein's new book, "Princess Recovery" has been described as an "excellent how-to guide to empowering girls and freeing them from the oppressive messages being sent by a society obsessed with appearances and determined to sexualize girls at every turn."

Word.

In "Princess Recovery," Hartstein outlines the messages being sent to girls (and boys) by our princess culture, including:

• That girls and boys are fundamentally different
  
• That girls should be pretty
  
• That more stuff makes you a better person
  
• That girls will get rescued and don't have to take care of themselves
  
• That being hot is very, very important

Annenberg School did a recent media study that revealed even though the movement for women's equality has been succesful, representations of women in the media have remained as narrowly defined as they were in 1946 - women are marginalized and depicted first and foremost as sexual objects.

There are very few viable alternative role models for girls growing up in a $4 billion dollar a year, princess product world (and that's just Disney).

Canadian photographer Dina Goldstein (insprired by her three-year old daughter's fixation on princesses) created her series Fallen Princesses. Goldstein's images are photographic narratives that subvert of the myth of happiness and force viewers to reconsider the "ever after."

Wow that is really hard. You really think you can go all day long?

THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID!!!

If you like The Office as much as I do....ok, you probably don't, but if you like The Office you will appreciate this.

It looks like I may have found a bigger fan than me - YouTuber Blitzkrieg1981 recreated the entire Dunder-Mifflin offices in Counter-Strike, and now has it as a "playable source map for all of his first-person shooter needs."

The fan says it took him over 500 hours of playing and pausing episodes of the show to get everything just right. As an expert on The Office, I can honestly say it is SHOCKINGLY accurate.

oh no!!!

Miley Cyrus surprised her bf Liam Hemsworth a giant penis cake for his birthday –- and posed with it.

The 19-year-old was reportedly having herself a wild time at the celebration as she "downed jugs of hooch" and got up close and personal with Liam's....cake.

Miley's reps refuse to comment on the photos but at least I don't feel bad about being tagged in some questionable college pics. This one takes the CAKE!

Can't Make a Hoe a Housewife

Some sage advice from none other than Snoop De O Double Gee.

"My first advice, you dumb ass n*gga, is you shouldn't have tried to wife the bitch, man. She's not that type of a hoe."

I Love College

Former Stanford University Computer Science professor Sebastian Thrun is starting his own free online school, Udacity.

This is awesome but how did this happen? Well, when Thrun taught an online class on Artificial Intelligence through Stanford, 160,000 students around the world enrolled and 23,000 graduated the course with a Stanford University certificate – 248 of whom had a perfect score.

So Thrun turned down tenure at Standford to teach young nerds across the country how to code through his own online university and currently is offering two courses - CS 101: Building a Search Engine (in which he hopes to enroll 500,000 students) and CS 373: Programming a Robotic Car.

So basically, if teachers want to teach and people want to learn....no one has to shell out six figures.

Is that you, Amy?

I am loving Jean Paul Gaultier's couture show, which was inspired by the late, cat-eyed vocalist Amy Winehouse. The models, including Andrej Pejic, strutted the Paris runway in sky-high wedges, corsets and towering beehive hair 'dos. Addition Winehouse details included beauty marks and, of course, cigarettes.

Towards the end of the collection, models' faces were draped in what Vogue UK described as "lace mourning mantilla veils." The show ended on a striking note when an Amy Winehouse look-alike graced the runway fully clad in white dress and veil.

Twenty Twelve, I'm at the Superbowl

Kudos to Chipotle for this year's creative, Super Bowl promotion - this one cracks me up.

Besides being a pretty good deal (offering half off burrito boxes on Superbowl Sunday), the company's print ad pokes fun at the NFL's long-running restriction on the unauthorized use of the copyrighted term "Super Bowl."

So, Chipotle just spelled it out for us: "The Super Big Internationally Televised Professional Football Bowl Game."

Girl Power

At first I didn't think this was real. But it looks like she is actually tearing it up! And she is only 8!

Meet Zoe Thomson, guitarist for the pint-sized UK rock group The Mini Band (ages 8-10).

Very few things leave me speechless

This is one.

I do not know who designed it but it is perfect.

Pimpin' All Over the World

If you live in New York, a place with a view is probaly going to cost you a pretty penny. On a budget, the most you can hope for is good natural light. But even if you have great light, sooner or later you’re going to want to draw the blinds/curtains. And you want something that looks good in the process.

Check out these Better View perforated black out blinds from designer Elina Aalto. These blinds display views from Paris, Tokyo, Helsinki, Stockholm or Berlin by using perforations to change the light from outside into a lit up cityscape.

But international views come at a price as well - $759 :(

Honestly, these are just pajama jeans for men.

While you are more likely to see me wearing skin-tight jeans, I do actually love my PJs. I was heart-broken when Santa didn't bring me any pajama jeans for Christmas - everyone must have thought I was kidding!

But up until now, there has been no fancy sweatpants for MEN. Introducing Dress Pant Sweatpants.

If you would like to trick your coworkers in to thinking you are appropriately dressed in some tailored charcoal gray dress pants but feel as if you’re at home on the couch, then these can be yours for the bargain price of $90.

I got the moves like Jagger

You may have seen the video of Aunt Carol dancing to Usher's "You Make Me Wanna" a couple weeks ago. Well, Aunt Carol made an appearance on Ellen this week and got a great surprise - she performed live with Twitch.

This is super cute :)



And if you can't get enough of this sort of thing, The Huff Post compiled an awesome round up of old people getting groovy!

Whose up on Dot Dot Dot and Vera Wang?

Harper's Bazaar profiles fab designer Vera Wang in their February issue and its everything you would imagine.

Last year, Vera gave us gave us a peek at the house last year in a behind-the-scenes video and left me wanting to see more of her$10 million Beverly Hills mansion that inspired her latest collection.

The Bazaar spread was shot by Douglas Friedman - check out all that glass!

My favorite shot was probably the photo of Vera poolside - at 62 years old she posed in a black corset swimsuit! And she looks nothing short of amazing.

Pretty girls, expensive furs that's right up my alley!

i MUST have that jacket. You know the one...all of them :)

My world, rhyme vicious
White girl team full of bad bitches...wait, did i write this song????

Yo soy fiesta!

ANOTHER Gronkowski clip? I just couldn't resist!

Gronk seemed to be in good spirits following Sunday's victory against the Baltimore Ravens and the TE agreed to answer a few questions for ESPN Deportes.

The reporter conducts the conversation in two languages - he first asked Gronkowski questions in Spanish, then repeated them in English - and Gronkowski tried his hand at doing the same despite clearly lacking the ability to speak Spanish..at all.

"Hola, me llamo Roberto," he began before returning to English to discuss the importance of New England's defense.

The reporter asks Gronk if he would celebrate the victory over the Ravens. "Si. Yo soy fiesta," he replies.

Swag ain't somethin you can wear on your neck

I keep the hood with me like Obi-Wan Kenobi

Amanda Oakleaf Cakes created this Life-Size Stormtrooper Cake for the Arisia Sci-Fi Convention in Boston, MA.

The Star Wars-inspired dessert stood 6′ 4″ tall, weighed 300 lbs and fed approximately 600 conventioneers. Amanda Oakleaf Cakes team (10 people) spent two full weeks to putting the Trooper together (cake wasn’t added until 2 days before it was to be served).

young money cash money billionaires

Cash Money head honcho Birdman has always been recognized for spending frivolously. The entrepreneur drops millions on teams he favors.

The New York Giants and New England Patriots will face off on Feb. 5 and Birdman is betting on the $5 million on the Pats!

According to Baby's tweet, New England Patriots football player BenJarvus Green-Ellis is his "nephew."

Last year, the rapper bet $2 million that the Miami Heat would win the NBA Championships against the Dallas Mavericks. He unfortunately lost the money after the Heat players failed to lead their team to victory. He also put up $1 million during last year's Super Bowl game.

Fairy Dance Secret Wish Crystal Star Rose Unicorn

Soft like a Twinkie filling

As a part of her campaign to save the Twinkie, Wendy Williams invited competitive eating legend Takeru Kobayashi onto her show (to attempt set a Guinness World Record for the most Twinkies eaten in one minute.

I was a little disappointed when I learned that Kobayashi didn't have a tremendous mountain to climb as there was no record for most Twinkie's eaten on the books.

The people at Guinness determined that if Kobayashi ate more than four Twinkies in a minute he would own the record. To his credit, Kobayashi crushed a stunning fourteen Twinkies in under a minute.

Who's Your Daddy?

Jane Carrey, daughter of star funnyman Jim Carrey, auditioned for the judges of "American Idol" on Sunday night. Before her audition, the 24-year-old participated in one of the show's trademark pre-recorded packages that highlighted her relationship with her famous father.

J.Lo remembered Jane from her time working with Jim on "In Living Color" - when did she become an old lady????

Jane's rendition of Bonnie Raitt's "Something to Talk About" got her a ticket to Hollywood. I wasn't blown away, but not bad.

Damn it feels good to be a gangster

Dinner was great!

The Pats are off to Indy for the SUPERBOWL!

Looking forward to crushing the Giants!!!

Light up a stage and wax a chump like a candle

It seemed like a simple enough task.....

Leave it to the trees

Prescription drugs based on the main psychoactive ingredient in marijuana could soon be making their way to pharmacy shelves.

A British company, GW Pharma, is in advanced clinical trials for the world's first pharmaceutical developed from raw marijuana instead of synthetic equivalents. Sativex, a mouth spray it hopes to market in the U.S. as a treatment for cancer pain (and hopes to see FDA approval by the end of 2013).

The spray contains marijuana's two best known components – delta 9-THC and cannabidiol – and already has been approved in Canada, New Zealand as well as eight European countries for a different usage (relieving muscle spasms associated with multiple sclerosis).

FDA approval would be an important milestone in the country's uneasy relationship with marijuana. The DEA categorizes weed as a dangerous drug with no medical value, but the availability of a chemically similar prescription drug could increase pressure on the federal government to revisit its position. Not to mention encouraging other pharmaceutical companies to follow in suit.

Meet me at the altar in your white dress We ain't getting no younger, we might as well do it

Over the past few years, I have been watching a shift in bridal fashion. More and more color in the trim, on the sash, in the embroidery - but Vera Wang’s latest bridal collection includes several colored dresses, including charcoal, mint and pink.

I have been in favor of pushing the color envelope for years. Probably ever since I saw Portia de Rossi's stunning peach dress in 2008. My friends may shake their heads but I'm thrilled to see more options!!! Range of choice is key.

Oddly enough, WHITE bridesmaids dresses made appearances in both the royal wedding and that Kardashian spectacles. An all white bridal party? That's breaking the rules for sure.

Game Day Attire

Its half time and New England is leading 13 - 10.

So far its been a super competitive game....so I am glad I have my jersey on! #greatpresent

You think your so hot, check out Betty’s beat.

"Betty White's Off Their Rockers" is seriously funny, blowing senior stereotypes out of the water. These septuagenarians are on a roll!

America's comedy sweetheart, Betty White, sends her fearless gang of sexy senior citizens to the street for hilarious pranking on the younger generation. This "hidden camera" show is just as funny or funnier than anything we have seen.

White, a seven-time Emmy Award winner, will star in and executive produce the series. "People have been telling me that I'm 'off my rocker' for years," says White. "Now I can prove it!"

In the vein of "Punk'd," the show delivers comedic stunts, candid moments and priceless reactions.

(I was lucky enough to catch the preview last Monday for the pilot but I haven't been able to find a regular air time. Sad face.Will keep checking though)

Wishing Betty a happy 90th bday! And yes, Betty, you are still hot!

Cherry pie leather seats, roofies on tomato soup

Bryant Park Hotel's Cellar Bar is offering three new seasonal soups, alcohol included.

There are three variations on the "Soup Cocktails:" a Lobster Bisque, "infused with Harvey's Bristol Crème and porto, with seasonal spices and cayenne pepper," an Herb-Tomato, "blended with vodka and raspberry liqueur and finished with a pinch of sea salt, dry basil and black pepper," and a Carrot Ginger with, "Domaine de Canton and Frangelico liqueurs."

At $9 each, the soups are more affordable than the $12 martini, and obviously more filling.

Shall we do lunch?

got that white lady, so I'm drivin' Miss Daisy

Yeah....you're supposed to snort this.

AeroShot is now available in Boston and NYC. Each $3 "shot" from the device, about the size of a lipstick, contains 100 mg of powdered caffeine - the same amount of the good stuff that's in a large cup of coffee.

The website reads:" Put the...end between your lips and gently puff into your mouth."

I feel like I have heard that somewhere before....
