Completing exams is an odd feeling. Amazing, but an odd feeling nonetheless. Suddenly, for the first time in eight months, all you have to do is, well…nothing. No deadlines. No group meetings.

So besides the obvious celebratory events and activities that should occur over the next week, here is our list of the top 5 things you should immediately do upon completing exams. read more…

A Brief History of Cool-As-Hell Pharrell Collaborations

Source: XXL Mag

Pharrell Williams is the Renaissance man behind some of the most wide-ranging works to hit the (mostly elitist) market in the past decade. The man is an OG for being the illest jack-of-all-trades, having stimulated almost every industry from music to architecture. Pharrell’s cemented his peerless style and unrivaled imagination as the fore behind several successful business ventures, striking out every weaker-minded artist along the way. We raise a glass of his Qream with a Q cream liqueur to his magnum opus. read more…

Retrospect: Good Gurlz Gone Bad

It happens to the best of them: Once Family Channel frequenters, later pseudo-train wrecks and the walking, talking, worst nightmares of parents everywhere. We’ve seen it time and time again, as countless young starlets tarnish their reps in lieu of a naughtier public persona. The latest celeb to join the dark side, Amanda Bynes, has left longtime fans perplexed (if not slightly creeped out) with awkward tweets. But all of that aside, maybe the teen queen rebel wannabees are onto something? Maybe, just maybe, the grass is greener on the wild side…so take some time to deliberate with our retrospective of G starlets gone R(otten).

What the MTV Movie Awards Nominees Will Look Like In 35+ Years: A Follow-Up

You know you’re getting old when you start to notice that even your beloved Hollywood hotties are beginning to show signs of a ticking clock. But hey, it happens to the best of us, and who ever said those were “age lines”? I’d prefer to think of them as lines of wisdom and experience and life being lived, which just made my current 38-year-old, scruffy-faced, furrowed-brow Leo crush kick my prepubescent, hairless, wispy blonde haired Leo crush in the butt. Young hotties turn into old hotties and if you’re not okay with that… well, then…you should learn to be okay with it. However it does make you wonder: would Magic Mike be quite so magical if he didn’t have a roaring six pack and the flexibility and nimbleness of a 20 year old? Probably not. With the MTV Movie Awards around the corner we’d like to revisit “What the MTV Movie Awards Nominees Will Look Like In 35 Years” with this 2013 edition. read more…

Throwback Thursday: They Dated?!

If you thought Kim and Kanye were an unlikely match, wait until you check out this Throwback Thursday of awkward celeb couples. Age, industry, and even onscreen projects couldn’t tear these unexpected lovebirds apart. And of course, the Throwback nostalgia comes with it’s usual sartorial surprises we’d really like to leave in the past (re: something vaguely resembling a housecoat on a 90s SJP). Take a trip down the dating memory lane of unusual parings that’ll sure to have you quoting 70s pop lyrics.
