Campus Girls USA was founded in 2006 and in three years has become a nationwide phenomenon that gives college girls a once in a lifetime modeling opportunity while simultaneously working with them to raise money for breast cancer research.
Founded by Los Angeles photographer Trevor Debth, Campus Girls USA has become synonymous with high quality, hard work and industry leading images. Shooting over 475 girls over the course of three months in cities across the US, Campus Girls USA is the largest, highest production value operation of it's kind.
Every girl that models in the Campus Girls USA calendars plays an integral part in the fundraising efforts of the company. They commit themseleves to selling calendars in the fall, of which 100% of the profits then go to benefit breast cancer research. For the 2010 calendars Campus Girls USA undertook it's most ambitious effort yet, shooting hundreds of girls in over 35 states over the course of just three months. The conferences covered in the 2010 line are the ACC, Big 10, Big 12, Big East, Pac 10 and the SEC. Campus Girls USA is dedicated to bringing their customers the highest quality product, the most beautiful girls and raising as much money as possible for a great cause, breast cancer research.
I mean really, it's just a bunch of girls in scantily dressed girls.

| MTV's new series: Jersey Shore |
[12 Nov 2009|01:28pm] |
Christmas is coming twice this year! The first Christmas will be held on December 3rd when MTV debuts the greatest piece of guido art since True Life: I Have A Jersey Shore House called JERSEY SHORE! It's fitting that this is premiering in December, because the baby Jesus would have definitely wanted one of the Three Kings to bring him a copy of this amazingness.
I was already sold on this from the beginning, but that guido's pit stain pretty much confirmed to me that I need to propose marriage to this clip. And to the guido in the black t-shirt, I'm already the lead graveyard shift supervisor of HATING. Fist pumping!

| ComicsAlliance: "The Stephenie Meyer Comic Book: So Much Worse Than 'Twilight'" |
[12 Nov 2009|12:46pm] |
ComicsAlliance broke down The Stephenie Meyer Comic Book --- Twihards/Meyer fanatics, proceed with caution...
Yesterday may have seen the release of Grant Morrison's "Batman and Robin" and Jason Aaron and Steve Dillon's "Punisher," but the new comic release we've been looking forward to the most was the "Female Force" biography of "Twilight" creator Stephenie Meyer!
We've been excited about this one since we saw the trailer for the motion comic last week, and now that it's out, we've forced -- er, asked ComicsAlliance contributor Chris Sims to give us his review of the shameless cash-grab series and its latest attempt to stay only one step behind the cultural zeitgeist!

| Celebs 'design' scarves for charity |
[12 Nov 2009|12:31pm] |
|
Tonic (the feel-good/do-good website) and Citta (a non-profit dedicated to providing assistance to marginalised or indigenous communities) have joined forces to create a limited edition pashmina scarf, designed by Lucy Barnes and hand-knitted by members of the Citta Himalaya Women's Centre in Nepal, with proceeds funding the new Citta Jaisalmer Women's Centre in Rajasthan, India, which will provide local women access to classes on health, hygiene and nutrition for themselves and their families.
Thandie Newton, Scarlett Johansson, David Bowie, David Byrne, Susan Sarandon and other notables who have changed the world with their words were asked to select a word that holds special meaning in their lives, and the Nepalese seamstresses embroidered the chosen words onto each scarf in Sanskrit, allowing them to learn a valuable new skill they can use to fund their independence.
"I'm hoping that Citta can work with more designers to help them make exquisite, unusual products and also provide a way for very poor communities to make a fair living, have access to basic health care and educate their children," Lucy Barnes told VOGUE.COM. "I think this is also very important to the consumer - that production be ethical and environmentally sensitive throughout the whole process, from sketch to finished design in the store. If we demand it, en masse, it will happen." The scarf, available exclusively at www.tonic.com, will retail for $100 and will help 100 women in need.
David Byrne: Dust - "First of all, it kind of took me back and I thought, 'Interesting,'" says Daube. "But it really made me think. I thought, 'What a small, minute thing that covers everything, is pervasive.'"
Susan Sarandon: Awake - "She said, 'First you have to be awake to do anything in your life; to have an intimate relationship, to be engaged in your life, to have dialogue with anything — you need to be awake.'"
David Bowie: Funk - "It's interesting because his definition is: It's an inner rhythm, or soul. Funk as in music, as a beat. So I was happy to figure that one out because there are several different meanings for Funk."
Thandie Newton: Surrender - "When it went to be translated by the Sanskrit scholar, it meant, 'when you take on a new understanding that absorbs your entire being.'"
Sting: Resolve - "His word was also very fitting for him to come up with because it's 'a sense of determination or purpose in life.'"
Scarlett Johansson: Reuse - "It has a very poignant meaning now because people are very wasteful. They don't think enough about consumption ... and the effect that we have on different parts of the world. When it was translated, it was very interesting because it came up as 'a respect for material.'"
Natalie Merchant: Silent - "That was easy to translate into Sanskrit because it's a very profound, descriptive word.
Queen Latifah: Strength - "It just fit her and I thought, 'What a perfect word for her to come up with.' Then we put it to the Sanskrit professor at Berkeley and one of her meanings was 'shakti.' And shakti means strength from a female perspective, a female energy. And I thought the whole amalgamation of these choices was perfect."

| TV Ratings: CMA Awards dominate with Taylor Swift, Glee returns strong |
[12 Nov 2009|10:12am] |
The 43rd annual CMA Awards dominated the night for ABC leading it to victory in all the major advertising demographics averaging a 5.2/14 (rating/share) with adults 18-49 and 16.85 million viewers. It was the most-watched CMA Awards since 2005, and the biggest audience for an ABC Wednesday (excluding sports) since 9/21/05. It was also ABC’s best Wednesday night with adults 18-49 (excluding sports) since 11/17/07.
Taylor Swift collected multiple awards, including “entertainer of the year” and displayed a good sense of humor about her experiences earlier this year at the MTV VMA Awards.
“I want to thank every single person here tonight for not running up on stage during this speech,” Swift said as she accepted the award for best female vocalist.
( tl;dr + chart )
Elliot needs to be kicked in the balls again. lol, I'm also glad Reid didn't know what Twilight was.

Carrie Underwood Stops Brad Paisley From Praising Taylor Swift
Did Carrie Underwood pull a Kanye West at Wednesday's Country Music Association Awards?
After Taylor Swift won Entertainer of the Year -- the night's highest honor -- cohost Brad Paisley began praising the singer.
"How 'bout that? Nineteen-years old...Congratulations, Taylor. What a night. I can't even imagine a better...."
Underwood, 25 (who lost out of Swift in the Female Vocalist of the Year category), then quickly interrupted: "And how were we? We were awesome!"

Ha! Brad lost to her and was pure class but ngl if I were Carrie and Taylor had beat me i'd be pissed too. The CMA's gave it all to Taylor.
also did anyone notice Taylor's fake crying when she wont Entertainer of the year? not a single tear yet she was all "emotional"

| Wynonna: "Too Soon" for Taylor Swift to Win Entertainer of the Year |
[12 Nov 2009|01:53pm] |
|
On Wednesday, Taylor Swift became the youngest artist ever to win the Country Music Association Awards' top honor: Entertainer of the Year.But Wynonna Judd doesn't think Swift, 19, is ready for such a top honor.
"You want my honest comment? It’s too much too soon," the singer told USA Today before the show. "Time is God’s way of keeping everything from happening at once. It’s just too much of a good thing too soon."
Judd, 45, added: "My thing is, being a home-school mom, I want kids to earn it, and I think some time ... 'cause mom and I rode in a car for the first year of our career to visit radio stations. There was a making of the star, there was a rising up, and the fans went with us.
"Now it’s over coffee breaks, the success, almost," she added. "You have to play catch up ... It's like the girl who wins an Oscar and she's under 20. What do you do from here?"

What do you think ONTD? Was this too much? I have mixed feelings; I'm a fan, but last night's CMA's was kind of dedicated to kissing Taylor Swift's ass (winning all the awards she was nominated for and 2 performances). She's had a great year with her crossover success, but I still think she has a lot of room to grow vocally and as an artist in the country world before she was ready for this. At the same time I'm happy for her bc I am a fan...idk, like I said, mixed feelings!

| Lady Gaga in December 2009 issue of FLARE |
[12 Nov 2009|12:01pm] |
Fashion saved Lady Gaga's life and gave her confidence.
In a sea of fashion-oblivious pop starlets who wear predictable, stylist-prescribed outfits, Lady Gaga is changing the world one sequin at a time. In fact, this is the 23-year-old singer’s mission statement—one she repeats in almost every interview. Just keeping track of the amount of blogs, vlogs and tweets debating on whether she is a couture original or a fleeting faux pas is, in and of itself, a full-time job.
Yet, behind the web-induced fashion frenzy that is El Gaga, lays a spirited trajectory fit for a Hollywood biopic. Formerly known as Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, the New York–native has become the third artist in history to have three No. 1 singles from a debut album on the Billboard chart. Her first disc, suitably titled The Fame, has made her a fortune, selling four million copies worldwide and reaching triple-platinum status in Canada. The monster success of her debut even prompted Gaga to head back into the studio to record eight more tracks for its re-release, a two-disc affair re-titled The Fame Monster.

| MAD MEN - Matthew Weiner answers our burning questions |
[12 Nov 2009|10:58am] |
Dead presidents, divorce, and new digs: Mad Men creator Matthew Weiner talked exclusively to The Daily Beast about Sunday’s game-changing season finale.
Sunday’s gripping season finale of AMC’s Mad Men embraced both bitter endings and bright, new beginnings, even as its characters were recovering from the tragic events of November 1963.
For a series that has thrived on exploring the subtle nuances of its characters and the unspoken subtext that hangs in the air like the curls of smoke from one of Don Draper’s cigarettes, creator Matthew Weiner ended the third season by removing its central settling—the Sterling Cooper office—and ripping apart its romantic leads, all while giving the enigmatic Don Draper (Jon Hamm) a new outlook on life and the future. In a single hour, Weiner, who co-wrote and directed the installment, offered a stunning set of reversals for the ad men and women the series revolves around, not only shattering the Drapers’ marriage past any hopes of mending but also giving birth to a new advertising agency, which rose up out of the ashes of Sterling Cooper and set up shop in a hotel room. (The Pierre, to be precise.)

| Contestant suffers stroke, dies while performing stunt in ABC’s Wipeout |
[12 Nov 2009|10:50am] |
The Wrap reports a contestant died last week after suffering a stroke while performing a stunt on ABC’s Wipeout two weeks ago:
Tom Sparks, 33, a recent graduate of the USC Annenberg School for Communication & Journalism, was rushed from the northern Los Angeles set of the show to a local hospital two weeks ago. Sparks later was transfered to Cedars Sinai Medical Center, where doctors performed several brain surgeries.
But doctors ultimately decided there was too much brain damage, and he couldn’t be saved, according an email sent to alumni by an Annenberg faculty member.
Sparks died Nov. 5.

not dazzled
Robert Pattinson admits he got starstruck when he met Zac Efron.
The hunky Twilight star says he was lost for words when he first crossed paths with the High School Musical actor.
“I met Zac Efron,” Pattinson told Britain’s OK! magazine. “He was a really cool guy. That was one of the first times I’d ever been star-struck, but just because his face is so specific, it’s kind of surreal."
Also:
Rob, 23, recently revealed that he regrets having dental work for his role as vampire Edward Cullen.
“They tried to fix my teeth,” he said. “And they shaved these little gaps on, they tried to do an Invisalign thing. And I put the Invisalign thing on and was like, ‘I don’t wanna wear that s–t’.
“Those gaps between my teeth have decayed and caused me so many problems. That’s the one thing I regret doing because I wasn’t thinking at the time.”
FUNNY SIDE STORY: Zac Efron has an Invisalign. Perhaps Rob's face would be more surreal if he had just made the right choice.

JON GOSSELIN SEX TAPE
New bombshell allegations that may cost Jon Gosselin his legal war with TLC AND custody of his beloved children as well!
Jon Gosselin's day in court could end with him losing his children - due to a sex tape scandal and allegations of cocaine use!
Jon's bodyguard Thomas Meinelt has been subpoenaed to testify in TLC's lawsuit against Jon, and The ENQUIRER has learned Meinelt claims he saw Jon snort cocaine many times, and that he's watched Jon's secret sex tape!
"Tom told me that Jon was secretly videotaped having sex with a woman in Los Angeles in October, and he's seen the tape!" said Stephanie Santoro, Jon's former flame and family nanny.
"Tom said people close to Jon put a camera in his hotel room, and paid a girl to flirt with Jon and have sex with him.
"He also told me that he saw Jon snort cocaine on more than one occasion, and that the more Jon got into partying, the more cocaine he used!"
As The ENQUIRER previously reported, sources say Jon's on-off GF Hailey Glassman sold and used cocaine while in college.

| balloon boy's parents plead guilty |
[12 Nov 2009|12:07pm] |
DENVER (BNO NEWS) -- The parents of the so-called "Balloon Boy" will plead guilty in court on Friday, his lawyer said in a statement on Thursday. A copy of the statement can be found below.
"November 12, 2009
Re: The Heene Case
Guilty Pleas
On November 13, 2009, at 8:30 a.m., Richard and Mayumi Heene will enter pleas of guilty in Larimer County Court.
Mayumi Heene will plead guilty to False Reporting to Authorities, a class 3 misdemeanor (the lowest level misdemeanor in Colorado law) with a stipulated sentence of probation.
Richard Heene will plead guilty to Attempting to Influence a Public Servant, a class 4 felony. The prosecutor has stipulated to a sentence of probation.
The stipulations carry the possibility of up to 90 days in jail for Richard and 60 days for Mayumi along with the probation. After pleas are entered the sentencing will be continued for approximately one month for the preparation of pre-sentence reports.
Facts
Mayumi Heene is a citizen of Japan. As such, any felony conviction or certain misdemeanors would result in her deportation, even though her husband and children are Americans. Because Mayumi, while being questioned by law enforcement made certain statements which the prosecutor could use against her to possibly obtain a felony conviction and thus, her deportation by the federal government, she is avoiding that possibility with this plea.. Unfortunately, the prosecutors insisted upon a package deal where Richard would have to fall on his sword and take a felony plea despite the fact that he made no incriminating statements to law enforcement and Mayumi's statements could not be used against him. Given the marital privilege it is doubtful Mayumi could have been called as a witness against Richard and the rules against hearsay would have prevented the showing of the videotaped statement she made against Richard. Upon reviewing the evidence, arguably, Mayumi could have possibly ended up being deported and Richard could have proceeded to trial and had a good chance at an acquittal. This, however, would have put the family at grave risk of seeing a loving, caring, compassionate wife and mother ripped from the family and deported. That was not an acceptable risk, thus these pleas.
Conclusion
It is supremely ironic that law enforcement has expressed such grave concern over the welfare of the children, but it was ultimately the threat of taking the children's mother from the family and deporting her to Japan which fueled this deal. Threatening to stretch what is essentially a low level misdemeanor into a felony prosecution followed by deportation upon conviction simply to make a point shows a complete and utter disregard for the true best interests of these children."

| The CW Gives 'Life Unexpected' a 'Gossip Girl' Boost |
[12 Nov 2009|05:54pm] |
|
OMFG: The CW is making plans to boost buzzworthy new drama "Life Unexpected" by slotting it in the "Gossip Girl" timeslot.
"LUX" will inherit the "GG" 9 p.m. Monday timeslot on Jan. 18, industry insiders confirm. What's unclear, however, is how long it will stay in that slot.
"GG" is expected to take several weeks off from the schedule, but it is not moving to a new night. That could mean that after a few weeks in the 9 p.m. Monday slot, "LUX" will shift to a more permanent slot-- though just where on the CW's schedule it's headed remained unclear Monday afternoon.
It would make sense to rest "GG" for several weeks so that the show could air with a string of uninterrupted episodes in the spring. Erratic scheduling last year slowed momentum for the series.
And when "GG" does return, the CW could decide to rest "One Tree Hill" for a couple of months, slotting "LUX" into the 8 p.m. Monday position.
In any case, the Monday move is the strongest sign yet of the CW's confidence in "LUX," which network insiders believe could be a transformative drama for the network in the vein of "Gilmore Girls" -- a series critics kvell over and viewers embrace.

a couple of months?! oh hell no

| CNN's other Silver Fox, John King, to replace Lou Dobbs |
[12 Nov 2009|09:42am] |
 First it was the "magic map." Now, CNN anchor John King is moving to the 7 p.m. slot, replacing the departing Lou Dobbs, the network confirmed Thursday morning. King’s new political show will start early in 2010, Jon Klein, president of CNN/U.S., said in a news release. The show will have "the widest range of opinions from across the political spectrum," Klein said. King said he's "thrilled" to have this opportunity. "There is a lot of noise and conflict in our political discourse, which is fun to cover," King said in a statement. “ John embodies what we are striving for at CNN – he is steadfast in his objective and nonpartisan political reporting and has the passion for chasing down stories that really matter to Americans,” Klein said in an e-mail message to colleagues, obtained by The New York Times television and digital media reporter Brian Stelter. King currently anchors "State of the Union," CNN's Sunday political show. Dobbs announced on his show Wednesday night that he would be leaving Atlanta-based CNN after 30 years with the network. Fox Business Network is considering adding Dobbs to its lineup, Stelter of The New York Times said. Before anchoring "State of the Union," King was a senior national correspondent for CNN. He often appeared using his so-called "magic map," intended to aid viewers in understanding the election process and likely contributed to the increase in the network's ratings. He joined CNN in 1997 after spending 12 years with the Associated Press. Source |
