Betch Is Back!

Last night was a huuuge TV premiere night for MTV. Both The City and The Hills premiered, and man were the claws out!

Laguna Beach alum and second rate Lauren Conrad, Kristin Cavallari replaced LC as both the narrator and the center of attention on The Hills and of course, she brought the bitch factor.

Kristin wasn't even on the show for 5 seconds before getting into a fight with She-Pratt over d-bag Justin Bobby. Kristin is just gross, she comes across as a trashy loud-mouthed valley girl who tries too hard to be a "guys girl" and has a personal vendetta against all girls.

Everything she does is so calculated to make other people feel bad its pathetic...have you ever heard of the saying "what goes around comes around?"

I can't wait for Brody's Playmate girlfriend Jayde to throw a drink in her face. Trashy vs. Trashier.

And as for The City.....Olivia Palermo....

This girl is just PURE entertainment. I actually knew her growing up, we played lacrosse together on a travel lacrosse team and she sucked just as much back then as she does now.

One time we were at a tournament in Vermont and the entire team was staying together in a Hotel. Well Princess Palermo insisted she not stay with the rest of us at the hotel, and instead rent her own house, for two days, at a lacrosse tournament....

Princess Palermo went head to head with PR power bitch Erin Kaplan by insisting that if her boss, Erin, had a problem with something then Erin could go and re-do it herself. The best part of the entire show was the look of utter shock and awe on the interns face....priceless.

Overall MTV did not fail to entertain with its scripted "reality" series and brought the drama as usual. And I am so looking forward to Heidi try and convince Spencer to have a baby, Spencer and his cowboy hat, and Roxy the 45 year old looking physcho try and bring down nice girl Whitney Port....its gonna be good.

Khloe KarCASHian

With the nuptials approaching quickly, Khloe Kardashian and Laker Lamar Odom have made a huuuge deal with a OK! magazine for their wedding day photos.

The couple is said to be getting $300,000 for exclusive pics of their big day...that's a lot of dough!

Makes me wonder how long this whole marriage thing is going to last though! If you already have plans to exploit your relationship this early in the game, what's next, a reality tv show? Oh wait you already have that so never mind, you should be used to cameras invading your personal life by now.

Good luck you two!!

My Little Monster

As promised, here are pics of the newest addition to my family!

Bodie, is the Bernese Mountain Dog we got a couple weeks ago and is the cutest thing I have ever seen!

It's so funny how dogs can have such large personalities, especially at such a young age!

He is so outgoing, loves people, loves to lay and hop around in the grass, and loves to pee in the house...

But Bodie is gonna be huuuge, he is predicted to weigh about 120 lbs when he is fully grown, can you imagine what 120lbs of dog running at you full speed is like??

All Dog's Go To Heaven

Jessica Simpson is not my favorite person in the world, and I am always ashamed to admit that the shoe I am trying on in Nordstrom's is one of her's but I always find myself secretly rooting for her.

So I felt really bad when she got her little pooch snatched by a coyote!

The loss of a pet, specifically a dog is extremely hard for the entire family, I can't imagine what it would be like to be recently dumped, publicly chastized because of my weight, and then watch as my loving and loyal dog is stolen in front of my eyes by a coyote!!

How tragic!

To a lot of people a pet is just like a family member, I know when we lost Riley, our Bernese Mountain Dog to cancer last year my entire family was devastated! It took us an entire year to grieve and finally feel ready another puppy (pictures will follow shortly).

I did not appreciate Martha Stewart and her cold comments on how Jessica should have "been more careful" and that she should just go ahead and "get another dog."

You can't replace a loved one with someone or something else! Grow a heart Martha!!

Pets require proper grieving time, just like human's do because to some people a pet is all they have.

I am team Jessica and although I hate to admit that the coyote prob saw the last of her pooch, I will support her in her efforts to search for her dog and will forgive her if she packs on a couple lbs. in her attempt to grieve.

A Swine Named Marilyn

Marilyn Manson is dis-gust-ing!

At a recent concert in Canada, Marilyn Manson was snapped on stage shooting a snot rocket from his nose into his audience members, a few feet away.

In addition to that being gross enough, Manson just confirmed via Facebook that his Doctor has officially diagnosed him with the Swine Flu...

Looks like in addition to paying top dollar for front row seats you also get an exclusive Manson strand Swine Flu shower!

You think he would have a bit more respect for his fans, and not want to contaminate the entire nation of Canada....

Dude is gross.

Where Have All The Judges Gone?

One of my all time fav TV shows, Project Runway has been surrounded by A LOT of drama this past year!

First it switched to Lifetime, then it was held up in legal negotiations for an entire year, now they seem to have misplaced some judges!

Where are Michael Kors and Nina Garcia???

For the past couple episodes the Project Runway golden trifecta of judges have been replaced by a whirlwind of guest judges like John Varvatos, Tommy Hilfiger, Eva Longoria Parker and Lindsay Lohan?

Im sorry but no one can make a designer feel bad about themselves like Nina Garcia, and no one can make a witty bitchy remark like Michael Kors. What is going on?

They need to bring Michael and Nina ASAP or i'm calling the Weinstein's and berating them for destroying what was once a successful tv show. (Don't get me wrong, it's still entertaining I just miss MK and NG)

Thank God Uncle Tim is still around, cause if not I would have signed off ep. 1.

Get your shizz together Lifetime!!!!

The Boy Is Back

Hottie actor Clive Owen stars in a new film called The Boys Are Back and I was lucky enough to attend the premiere and have a chat with the Brit.

Clive plays a sportswriter who early in the film looses his wife to cancer and must take on the role of single dad in raising his 6 year old son. The film explores the father son relationship and the journey they must go on to grieve together while getting to know each other along the way. A deeply moving and beautiful film with a sentimental message.

Here is an exclusive interview with Clive Owen:

CQ: If you were a single dad, how do you think you would fare?

CO: I think I would be ok, I mean I have spent plenty of days with my
girls on my own, so I think I would be ok.

CQ: What did you like most about this film?

CO: It was very beautifully written and a very good story.

CQ: Did you bring anything to this film that we haven’t seen before?

CO: I don’t think so, no, it’s a different kind of film but parenting
is a very big part of my life, and it felt very natural to me.

CQ: Did you feel more prepared for this role because you have a wife
and kids of your own.

CO: Yeah I drew a lot from being a parent.

From The Small Screen To The Runway

Fashion designer Anna Sui took some town out of her night to give me a few deets on her new Gossip Girl inspired clothing line. Her clothes are hip, affordable, and inspired from our favorite scandalous tv show. It may surprise you which she character she relates to the most!

Check out the interview below:

CQ: As we know you designed a line inspired by Gossip Girl, which characters style inspired you most?

AS: I would say I was most inspired by Jenny because of the punk rock style and she has the bangs, like I have just like me, and probably Blaire because she is very girly and has very girly clothes and that is very much like my clothing line you know.

CQ: Who would you compare yourself to out of the 4 characters on the show?

AS: I relate to Jenny’s style the most you know because she is punk rock and has that edgy look going for her like I do, and she has the bangs and she wants to be a fashion designer, so haha!

CQ: What about in high school?

AS: In high school I was like the Brooklyn girl, Vanessa, but also I always wanted to be a fashion designer even when I was little so I was like Jenny one also.

CQ: People are saying that by carrying a mainstream line at Target you are a sellout, what would you say to that?

AS: Well I have to say that no, I don’t think that because my line is now going to be available to girls all over and now at a price people can easily afford. My line was never about being a really luxurious expensive line. I am trying to make it accessible for all people, and I think that that is a really good thing, especially for what is going on right now with the economy and everything.

When You Tell The Truth

The other night at the premiere of his new movie The Invention of Lying, Ricky Gervais introduced his film with a heartfelt yet hilarious little speech:

"Its a film with a lot of people in it because we had the comedy cast of the decade. Look out for some wonderful cameos including Edward Norton as a deranged traffic cop. And the first line that Jennifer Garner says is one of my favorite lines in a film ever."

That line he is talking about plays out when Ricky's character shows up at Jennifer's door to take her out on a date, she opens the door and says "Oh hi, you're early, I'm kinda mad you are early because I was just masterbating."

The movie was cute and funny, a little sad at times but also eye opening. What do you think the world would be like if there was no lying??

I Like The Sound Of This

Since I missed out on the first Spice Girls reunion two years ago, i'm pretty stoked that there might be talks of another one!

Sporty, Scary, Baby and Ginger Spice all met for dinner in London a couple nights ago where they allegedly began discussing some creative plans for the future.

Posh wasn't there as she was in NYC for Fashion Week, however she did manage to get her opinion in via text.

The girls are possibly talking about another reunion of some sort. I think its a great idea, they were such positive role models (Girl Power!) and they have continued to remain so in the years following their success.

Maybe Posh can design there outfits if they go on tour!

Let's all wait and see what happens!

Convo With The World Champion

I got a chance to meet and interview 30 Rock funny man Judah Friedlander at a charity comedy event called Funny For Fido which raised money to help save abused animals. Judah is hilarious, he even asked for my gmail so we could gchat, wonder what that chick he was with at the Emmy's would have to say??

Check out what he had to say about his cast mates, character on the show, and what he eats for breakfast(??) below!

CQ: What is it like working with the cast of 30 Rock?

JF: They’re great ya know, I’ve taught them a lot. When I first went on the show none of them really understood what acting was about and I really taught them all how to act, so I’m really happy, they’ve come a long way. Baldwin has already won so many awards on the show same with Tina, they are multiple acting award winners now. And before working with me I don’t think they had ever won any acting awards. So, I think I'm a great teacher.

CQ: How do you relate most to your character on the show?

JF: Well I think style wise we have a lot in common, we both make our own hats, we both wear glasses. I’m definitely a much…I mean, i'm the world champion! You know Frank gets a lot of chicks, as we learned this season on one of the episodes, I was hooking up with everybody. But ah, I actually get even more, so that relates to him in that level. I’m definitely a better athlete than Frank Rossitano. But ah, he’s more of a troublemaker than I am. Yeah, he gets yelled at more than me, I’ve never been yelled at.

CQ: Never?

JF: Never. Look at me. People are afraid of me, I’m the world champion, people don’t yell at the champ. So ya know, those are the differences.

CQ: So how do you prepare for standup, do you normally just take a nap and then jump up and go? (He was napping on a booth right before I met him)

JF: Well I was busy all day, umm….normally I like to wake up at 5:30 p.m. have a nice breakfast then go out and do 4 shows in the city.

CQ: Would that be a breakfast of champions?

JF: Yeah exactly, I eat Wheaties for dinner, and you can quote me on that one! I’m the world champion I eat Wheaties for dinner! But no, I’ve been doing standup since 1989, when we’re not filming (30 Rock) I do standup every night, often several shows a night. I’ve got another earl

CQ: Final question, if you were stranded on an island with one 30 Rock character, would you take Tracy Jordan or Jack Donaghy?

JF: I would take Tracy Jordan, because he’s so rich he’d have a cell phone that would still work there and he would be able to call over so big cruise ship. And then wed go on the cruise ship and just party with hot chicks the whole time.

Marriage Already???

Rumors have been flying that E! star Khloe Kardashian and LA Laker's forward Lamar Odom are getting married!

The two have been only dating for a couple of weeks! Khloe is infamous for dating athlete's and her commitment issues, so why are they moving so fast?

The two are set to marry this weekend, hoping to get a honeymoon in before Odom's basketball season begins.

Apparently the two went ring shopping this weekend and he bought the ring on the spot!

These two need to slllooooowwww down! There is no need to rush into a marriage with someone you barely know, take the time to build a healthy relationship and then discuss your future!

I wonder if this is just a publicity stunt because Kourtney is prego and getting all the Kardashian attention?

Maybe this will inspire Kim and Reggie to get back together.

Red Carpet Ready No Matter What

I totally thought Heidi Klum was going to pop last night on the red carpet!

Even at 81/2 months pregnant she still manages to knock it out! She looked amazing in her skin tight long black Marchesa gown, emphasizing her enormous baby belly. How she manages to look glamorous while rocking a giant bowling ball attached to her front side is beyond me.

Klum apparently told reporters that there is an upside to being pregnant on the red carpet because "I don't have to suck my stomach in."

I guess after four pregnancies she has developed a system to looking fab while prego, props to her!

Return of the Emmy's

Even though the Emmy's are one of the most boring award shows to watch, I actually tuned in last night, and my attention was captivated for most of the show.

According to Nielson so were a lot of other people. This years Emmy's had about 13.3 million viewers which is the highest since 2006.

With factors like host Neil Patrick Harris and dividing the show into 5 separate segments, the show was entertaining and easy to follow.

It did get a bit boring towards the end, and I eventually tuned out, but overall a pretty good awards show.

10 Foot Radius Game

This is a fun little game my friends and I always like to play when we are in a public crowded place on campus.

The 10 Foot Radius Game is something we came up with abroad when we were trapped on a ship and you could not go anywhere without running into someone you had made out with.

Here is how you play: When sitting in the Caf, the Deli, the Student Union, or the Coffee Shop, take a look around and see how many people, that are standing within in a 10 foot radius (or within eyesight) of you, that you have made out with, hooked up with, late night texted, or had some sort of awkward uncomfortable drunken experience with. Chances are the numbers are going to be way higher than expected, and will leave you feeling uncomfortable and awkward, but will bring back hilarious memories and help pass the time in between classes. I dare you to try it today when walking through campus. And please report back with results...

I'll Admit It; The CW is Good

As this fall's TV lineup is beginning to premiere, I have found myself completely drawn to The CW. Melrose Place was awful but I am so into The Vampire Diaries and I found myself loving The Beautiful Life....still not quite sure why. The Vampire Diaries features two really hot brothers, one good one evil, who return to a small town to fight over a beautiful girl. Although it bears A LOT of similarity to Twilight, it is a bit more risque, with sex and drugs being a focal point, and is really scary! The two brothers are also really hot, did I already mention that?

The Beautiful Life was cliche and predictable but I was thoroughly entertained and intrigued to see what would happen next. I will be tuning in next week to watch as Mischa Barton's character returns from a 6 month hiatus, addicted to pills, trying to save her career while secretly harboring a love child. I also liked that the kid from High School Musical is on a CW show about sex, drugs, fashion, and deceit, where did Disney go wrong?

Oh Kathy

I met comedian Kathy Griffin the other night at a movie premiere, and I have to say interviewing her was the most fun I have ever had on the red carpet. A combination of her spunky attitude, desperation to get exposure, and hilarious quips, I found myself laughing all the way through our short, rushed interview (the film was about to start) and listening in on her interviews with others. She is a lot smaller than I imagined but I guess that is why she is such a loud human being, a bit of a Napoleon Complex? Anyways, here is the interview, brief but still hilarious!

Campus Queen: If you could say one thing to Kanye West what would you say?

Kathy Griffin: Umm, "I do." And I would say it at our wedding because that would get me a lot of publicity.

CQ: What if you were Taylor Swift, what would you say when that whole incident went down?

KG: I think that Taylor Swift should marry him, it would be the greatest publicity both of them could ever get. I support it and I will be the minister.

CQ: What’s the most scandalous thing you have ever done?

KG: Oh man you should watch the Creative Arts Emmy’s because I filmed something for them that is pretty much going to get me kicked out of it.

CQ: That’s it? I feel like you have more that you are hiding!

KG: Yeah, I know. Well, it’s all in “Official Book Club Selection” my New York Times Best Seller. Oh and one time I fucked the Chicago Bulls!

Ole Hallows Eve

Throughout the entire year I am constantly thinking up the best most amazing Halloween costumes, yet as soon as Halloween comes around I am stumped, forget everything I have thought of and find myself panicking to find the best costume ever. This year I vow to change. I want to plan my costume ahead of time because dressing up is one of my favorite things to do and the thought of wearing a generic costume makes me sad and angry. I have had some pretty epic costumes in the past the best being, Amy Winehouse, Kiss, Anna Nicole Smith, and The Queen of Hearts, so it is my goal to constantly out do myself from the year before. My friends and I have thrown around ideas such as; X-Men, Extreme Home Makeover (Bus and all), Male Rock Stars of the 80's, Jon and Kate +8 (including Homewrecking Hailey), and the many faces of Lady Gaga. However, I haven't had my "Halloween Costume A-Ha Moment" yet and I am starting to get worried, especially because a good Halloween costume walks that fine line of "I look way too convincing and people are starting to get weirded out" and "I look way too convincing but people are loving it and I just got a hotties phone number." So if you all have any ideas or suggestions of creative ideas let me know and I will check back in soon! Sphere: Related Content

Dry Shampoo

For the past 10 years, or as long as I have cared about my appearance, I have been plagued with greasy, oily, thin hair! I have to shower every single day, and even then my hair looks awful at the end of the day. I HATE when my hair falls flat and I HATE when I feel like I can't step outside because I look like such a hot mess! Well I have heard of many different techniques that people use, including baby powder but I really hate the way that smells. Finally I found something that works, Dry Shampoo. A friend told me about this a while back, and I kind of forgot about it until the other day when my roommate got a complimentary bottle with her straightner. As soon as she left the house I secretly used it (sorry A.F.) and even though it is for Auburn colored hair and I'm blonde, it worked great! Im so excited to buy a bottle for myself but I don't know what brand works best. I have heard Batiste, Oscar Blandi, and Klorane are the top three, so I'm gonna try them out and let you all know what I think!

XOXO Chuck Bass

So after the season premiere of Gossip Girl last night I came to a realization....Chuck Bass is the one. I guess I have felt this way for some time now, but honestly he's amazing.

The love affair started a while back, when Gossip Girl was first on, and I was weirdly attracted his uber preppy a-hole antics. My feelings grew stronger as the show progressed, Chuck got better looking, more preppy, and more outlandish. My feelings reached an all time high this summer when at a party for artist Richard Phillips, Chuck Bass (I have concluded that Ed Westwick and Chuck Bass are same person) saunters into the party in a deep-v, perfectly parted hair, with looks that could kill and stands right next to me at the bar. I sheepishly look over at him, he kinda gives me a "hey, look what I'm about to do" look, and then grabs a bottle of beer and proceeds to open it with his teeth. I was immediately blown away and knew it was in love.

So last night during the premiere of Gossip Girl, when Blaire and him were being all lovey dovey and cute bf/gf, I was reminded by how much I had missed him being on my television every monday night, and now it is my number one goal to go find my own Chuck Bass. Except I'm afraid of people like that tool P.C. from NYC Prep who tried soooo hard to be like Chuck Bass it was embarrassing.

The Best View In Turkey

This story comes from two girls I met while abroad on Semester at Sea. After partying it up in Taksim Square, Istanbul the girls had met a group of good looking Turkish men. Apparently one was really into facial hair. So after partying with them all night the guys asked the girls to come home with them claiming that they “had the best view in Turkey.” The girls drunkenly obliged and next thing you know they were pulling up to a dark rundown apartment building. Thinking nothing of it, they began to climb 5 flights of pitch black stairs, with the guys constant reassurance that they were almost home. At last they reach the top and open the door into what they think will be an apartment, but instead is a rooftop littered with garbage, stained mattresses, broken chairs, headless baby dolls, and a strange man sleeping in the corner. It was at this point that the girls realized that although the roof did have the best view in Turkey, these guys were homeless and had brought them back to there hovel for a late night party. Had they realized earlier how strange it was that the guys were wearing hiking backpacks in bars and refused to tell them there full names they probably wouldn’t have ended up sucking face with homeless Turkish men in a crack den. But alas the damage was done and the lesson was learned, never trust a man wearing a back pack in a bar who claims to have the best view in Turkey.

Trendy items come and go so it is important to have these budget friendly basic items to pair with the trendy ones!

1. Denim

Make sure you have a couple pairs of well fitting jeans that come in different lengths, styles, and washes. I think a dark denim wide leg jean is a great transition piece from class to bars. You can dress them up or down, and they always look fab with a great pair of heels.

Where to buy: Citizens for Humanity, Sevens, Paige, J Brand

2. Tank Tops

Stock up on tank tops that come in different lengths, colors, and styles. Tanks are great for layering under cardigans and jackets in the winter, and pair great with shorts or skirts in the summer.

3. Little Black Dress:

This is a must! The little black dress is such a necessity I can't bear the thought of what I would do without mine. Whether you are going on a date, attending bid night during rush, a sorority dance, clubbing, a fancy dinner with friends, a job interview, a presentation in class, or just hitting up the bars you can always wear your little black dress! Dress it up with a fierce pair of heels and dramatic gold jewelry for your date, or dress it down with a simple cardigan and a pair of flats for the job interview.

clothing meltdown!

5. Sweaters

Sweaters are all about completing your look while keeping you warm. Whether you are in California or Wisconsin, sweaters are essential for keeping you toasty while keeping you chic.

Make sure you have at least one complete interview outfit. Buy a nice pair of black slacks or a pencil skirt, a fancy silk top or white button down shirt, a pair of fancy flats or kitten heels, and and blazer or conservative cardigan.

When the President of the United States calls you a "Jackass" you know it's bad. According to ABC reporter Terry Moran's Twitter, in an off-the-record interview President Obama called Kanye West a "jackass" for the stunt he pulled at the 2009 VMA's.

Kanye has gone on a 24-hour apologizing spree even sitting down to talk on Jay Leno last night when he was originally scheduled only to perform.

Looks like he's feeling the heat of backlash!

Keep apologizing though, you are still a jackass, and have yet to be forgiven.

Eminem's Face

Umm what is up with Eminem’s face? Did homeboy get some work done? I know he gained a lot of weight this past year, and maybe he is just puffy, but it seriously looks like he had a full on face lift. Which is weird, you would think the guy who loves to sling insults left and right about other people’s looks and choices, he himself would tone it down and not feel the need to get a new face. Weird....

Kanye is a Tool

Kanye West is an idiot. Great you have strong viewpoints and you continue to make yourself the most hated musician in Hollywood, but really was last night’s stunt at the VMA's necessary? If you had such a big problem with Taylor Swift winning Best Female Video, take to your blog, or Twitter, do not interrupt her onstage and rip her mic out of her hand. And that apology you released was so half-assed, you even slammed her lyrics by saying that you liked the cheerleader bleachers parts of her song. Umm I can sense the sarcasm from here Kanye. It was her first time ever winning a Moon Man, and you pretty much destroyed it for her. That was just plain mean and cruel, who do you think you are? Why do you feel that you are the person who can decide who deserves to win?? It’s up to the fans and clearly the lovely Taylor Swift has amazing fans that adore her, so you need to shut up and take a lesson of class from Beyonce, and go pick on someone your own age!

Who is Lady Gaga?

For the past year this outrageous blonde has been blasting out of our stereos, making appearances in absurd outfits, and taking over gossip blogs. But who is Lady Gaga? Where did she come from and how did she just burst onto the scene, instantly becoming The Princess of Pop? She can clearly produce fun upbeat songs and dance hits, but who is she as a person? She has done an amazing job of controlling the rumors about her personal life by feeding interviewers too good to be true sound bites, that are all mostly lies. People have no grasp on who she is and would rather believe that she is a hermaphrodite than a sexually charged talented artist. But I want to know more, I want to know who she was in high school, who she is dating, and what her family is like. She is such an other-worldly figure that I can’t figure out if her work is art or just a giant joke on society. Either way, I can’t wait to see her perform at the VMA’s I hope she kills it.

Fall Fashion

As the summer fades away and fall is on its way, school is back in session. Here come the long days of boring classes and sleepless nights in the library. The only thing making any of this bearable is either the promise of a really good party, or a really good outfit. Looking good on campus is a staple at my school. Girls show up to class adorned in the latest hippest trends and I often find myself thinking that the sidewalk serves more as a runway than a pedestrian walkway. Fall fashion is always my favorite; with big chunky sweaters, loose flowy tops, dark jeans and fabulous boots, fall fashion always seems chic and put together. This season seems extra exciting and hyped with NYC Fashion Week just around the corner and fashion based reality shows dominating TV, like Project Runway and The Rachel Zoe Project. I find myself perusing ShopBop and fashion blogs all day long. I have currently picked out two of the most perfect Diane Von Furstenberg dresses, however it seems I will have to sacrifice a month of bar tabs to be able to afford half of one. One event any fashionista has to look forward to is the much-anticipated Fashion’s Night Out. In a global initiative to promote retail and fashion, U.S. and International editions of Vogue have put together a night of festivities and parties to promote fashion and boost the economy. I am hoping this fall brings the best and most affordable clothes possible and am excited for the creative and new initiatives implemented to create a better shopping experience. Just like the 5 Dollar Foot Long, I’m hoping fashion houses, flagships, mainstream designers, and tiny boutiques will come up with incentives and discounts to attract us young struggling but dying to be hip college students.
