What's next, an effin scrunchie?

So I've decided that stirrup pants are back. Yep, you heard me right. I rocked a modern version to work yesterday and got a phenomenal response. But they must be done right or...catastrophe.

Wear stirrup tights, not actual pants. They should be very thick tights, almost leggings. Make sure the stirrup part is thicker than the 80's version. It should actually cover the top of your foot, and just barely have the heel cut out in the back. Make sure the hole is reinforced unlike those homemade hand-stirrup hoodies that people inexplicably wore a few years ago, Avril Lavigne. Express has a great pair right now for $16.50 as shown in Exhibit A. Idk how I feel about the colored ones yet, but I'm having a fashion love affair with the black.

On your feets, rock some basic pumps (nothing too flashy or with too many other straps). Though you won't get the stirrup effect, you can also wear these with boots to rock the tight pants tucked into boots look - with no risk of bunchage! On top, wear your super awesome modern stirrup pants with a loose shift dress or long sweater. I guess some things are still the same from the 80's after all. Follow these rules and rock the stirrup with pride girlfriend!

"Gossip Girl" death pool = $$$

Bart Bass died last night on "Gossip Girl", which means I win $10 bitches! Yes, my roommates and I had a pool going after we learned about a month ago that a character would be dying on GG. I see no shame in incorporating gambling into every aspect of my life. $5 buy in for the pool, and our predictions laid out as follows:

Me: Bart Bass (Obvi. Bart Bass has no soul, so killing him off isn't at all morally wrong. Plus, no viewers would be sad to see him go, and now Lily can go back to humping Rufus guilt-free)

A.G.: Eric Van Der Woodsen (Sorry A, not every major "Gossip Girl" spoiler can revolve around Lil E)

M.C.: Aaron (And anyone would notice and/or care because...? So not gonna happen)


Too bad gambling on TV shows isn't actually legal. I'd be rich, biotch!

Let him entertain me

Am I really weird for saying that I have crush on The Entertainer, originally of "I Love New York 2" fame? Sure he lives in his parent's basement, but hello it's a finished basement. And he's pretty damn sexy. I'd def hit it.

The Entertainer along with 18 other reality-has-beens/amazing people will be staring in "I Love Money 2", premiering January 26, 2009 on VH1. Though I must admit that so far this season's cast isn't shaping up to be as good as season 1's, I'm still very much looking forward to this hot trainwreck mess.

Effin Pete Wentz

So Pete Wentz decided to take a break from dirty diaper duty last week and actually make an episode of FNMTV. It was a holiday special and his producers really worked hard to book such diverse guests as Miley Cyrus, Trace Cyrus and his band Metro Station, and Fall Out Boy. Not to mention they were actually able to book Pete's BFF, Travis McCoy of Gym Class Heroes. Way to hit the pavement and really get the hard-hitting interviews, folks!

I'm really so glad Pete Wentz takes the time out of his day to do FNMTV once every two or three months.

Blast From The Past: American Pie

This movie sooo made me smile to start my week when I watched it on Sunday. (And YES I did more with my weekend than watch teen movies...kinda)

American Pie!

I personally believe that "American Pie" is so much more than your perverted typical guy comedy or cheesy teen movie. Sure, they spend a good portion of the movie talking about getting laid, seeing boobs, and the finer points of masturbation, but I've always thought this series of movies has something that most of its kind lack: heart. Underneath the surface, this movie is really about friendship. The four main characters make a pact to get laid by the time they graduate, but what the pact really symbolizes is working together, and helping each other to achieve a common goal. These guys put bromance on the map when Brody Jenner was still in braces. Forget about masturbating with pies and flutes, "American Pie" is actually about true friendship and young love.

Btw, fun game: If you had to bang one of the American Pie guys, who would it be? I'd so be all about Kevin. No, scratch that, I'd want to date Kevin, but he actually looked like he was pretty bad in bed. I'll go with Finch. I bet he gives good Tongue Tornado.

Yes! Another Teen Movie!

Just spent a glorious afternoon hungover on the couch watching "John Tucker Must Die" on basic cable. Observations:

• Some things never change. Just as with Rachel Lee Cook in "She's All That" circa 1997, it's pretty hard as a viewer to pretend that Brittany Snow "isn't hot" before her makeover. Girlfriend still looks pretty damn good. I suppose (slightly) frizzy hair is supposed to distract from perfect skin and sparkling eyes. Damn her.
• Despite Jesse Metcalf's perfect pecs, the real star of this movie is Penn Badgley! Who knew? Penn, now of "Gossip Girl" fame, really stretches his acting ability by playing...Dan Humphrey with long hair.

The teenybopper in me is so glad these kind of movies are still being made.

Loves it!

Britney Spears's leaked music video for her new single Circus.

Leave it to BritBrit to spray herself with her own perfume, Curious, at the beginning of the video (the pretty blue bottle). I suppose if you're going to stoop to product placement, why not do it with your own products? And I must admit, 5 years or so ago I bought Curious and still have the empty bottle sitting around somewhere because I loved it that much.

This is great though y'all, Britney really is making a comeback this time unlike last year's shiteous try. Keep it comin, Brit!
