The glories and debaucheries of the Grammys

Like all award shows, especially ones with performances, the Grammys had many ups and downs last night.

1. Rihanna killed the Red Carpet. She collaborated with the designers over at Armani to make her 2012 Grammy dress, and sweet baby Jesus, it was fantastic. Like, is she kidding me? This is what the red carpet is supposed to be about. Not huge capes, being hidden in an egg, having blue hair. No…this is how it is done. Operation look like that before Spring Break has now been kicked into high gear. Flawless.

2. WHAT was Sasha Gradiva doing? What is that? Why? I need answers.

3. Chris Brown once again showed off his lack of ability to sing and dance at the same time. Not saying that singing and flipping around the stage and dancing your ass off all at the same time is an effortless task, but come on. What gets me the most is the fact that he is even strapped with a headset mic, and that he bothers to even lip sync. Sleezy couldn’t fool a blind person into thinking he was actually singing. He looks like an idiot. I have seen him live, from the first row, and he was both singing and dancing simultaneously…so he does have it in him. Apparently something about live television freaks him out.

4. Just like the Red Carpet, Rihanna killed her performance. The only critique I have for little miss Riri, is that I would have appreciated some more skin. Perhaps less black tights, more leg, shorter shorts. But whatever, at least she pulled off the whole dancing while singing thing.

5. Adele and J.Hud stole the show. Simply perfection.

6. What the HELL was Nicki Minaj? That performance was of Gaga proportions.

7. Don’t even get me started on Katy Perry’s blue hair and gold camel toe, Robyn’s white cocktail dress + platform Timbs, or Taylor Swift in general.

Social Media is causing mystery illness

Huff Post- The search for answers continues in the LeRoy High School mystery illness case, and one expert’s new hypothesis proposes that symptoms may be spreading through social media…University at Buffalo neurology professor Dr. David Lichter suggests that the spread of the symptoms may be caused by students unconsciously mimicking symptoms that they’ve seen in videos uploaded onto social media sites, WKBW News reports.

What in the WHAT? This is just so bizarre to me. Clearly there are no answers because these girls are full of it. Taking all sensitivity aside, this story seems like a modern-day rendition of The Crucible, except these girls are the witches. These little teeny boppers are looking for their 5 minutes of fame.

Let’s be honest, it’s genius. Networks like MTV, TLC, A&E, and Lifetime eat this up for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I feel like I have already seen this episode of “True Life: Social Media Gave Me Tourette’s,” and I’m pretty sure the Lifetime movie is already being contracted and casted. They’re trying to get Kristen Stewart and Hayden Panettiere to star as these two broads.

In the highly unlikely event that this is for real, and social media could be causing these atrocious symptoms, wouldn’t many more people suffer from this? What are the chances that it would be 12 girls from one school? This is clearly a case of I want my own reality TV show.

Why didn’t I think of this?  —What are your thoughts?

How to get hooked up with a Spring Break trip last minute- and not get screwed

Thousands of students nationwide are already booked up and geared up for Spring Break 2012, and let me guess…you aren’t one of them? The college student has notoriously mastered the art of doing things last minute- from cramming for midterms, buying your lover Valentine’s flowers, to calling mom on her birthday at midnight- and believe me when I say those skills will come in handy in the “real world”- but last minute travel is risky for anyone who is looking to score a last minute deal, especially for those risk-taking college students.

Hundreds of students are booking last minute spring break deals, and a huge percentage of them are at risk to get screwed. Here are a few last minute booking tips from the experts to ensure your group does get hooked up, but not screwed.

  1. Be flexible with your destination: You may have your heart set on one destination, and one departure day and return day. Being flexible with the destination, amount of nights, and even the airport you leave from will definitely open up more affordable last minute opportunities for you and your crew.
  2. Don’t be afraid to road trip it up! Lots of colleges are within driving distances to hundreds of beaches- even if does take you 15-18 hours to get there- getting there is half the fun. Panama City Beach, Florida, for example is the nation’s number one spring break destination- and thousands of students drive there year after year- and it’s only 15 hours from Chicago and also Washington, DC. Not too shabby.
  3. Use points, miles or credit card points for one way flights: Do you or your rents hoard their credit card points hoping that someday you will take that dream trip to Europe? Well why wait- check and see if you can cash in your earned miles, or if your credit card points could be put towards one-way flights.
  4. Stick to the experts, and do your research: Once you’ve decided to go- although the clock is ticking, you don’t want to get hosed in your last  minute investment. There are dozens of companies online promising spring break specials, spring break entertainment, and to be honest- other spring breakers, because who seriously wants to go on SB2012 alone? Checking out the company’s website, asking your friends, and calling the company direct and asking about the trip are all great ways to quickly do your research.
  5. Book with a Student Tour Operator: Last minute deals are still available with most reputable spring break companies. A tour operator will do all the work for you, often include flight, cruise, bus or other transportation.
  6. Facebook- obvi! You are already on social media all day long anyway; why not check out what people are saying about spring break, and about destinations. If you are interested in a specific company- check out their Facebook “Likes”- if others like their product enough to put it up there on the internet they must be doing something right.
  7. The More the Merrier? Yes companies usually give great deals to large groups, but the smaller rooms aren’t always left out either. Be sure to ask on the phone if there are any deals for groups, or last minute deals for small groups!

I guess that’s why they call it “Sin City…”

Vegas is all about the parties and co-eds all year ’round, so can you even imagine the craziness of Sin City during Spring Break? WE CAN!  Not only will you be traveling to Vegas with StudentCity, which is a party in itself; MTV is also joining us from March 20th-22nd at the Palms! We can guarantee there will be celebrities galore hanging with us, amazing night events and crazy day parties.

It’s Vegas, which means between the day parties at the pool, the casinos, and the outrageous nightlife, there is always something to do.

Since you will be staying at the Palms, you don’t even have to leave the property for access to the best nightclubs on the strip.  Dance the night away to the beats of the hottest DJs in the game at Rain Nightclub, check out the Playboy bunnies at the only Playboy Club in the world, and rub elbows with celebrities at Ghostbar.

As you stumble from party to party, don’t forget to make a stop at the incredible Palms Casino!  Try your luck at the dice tables, play a hand of poker, or take a spin at the slots.  There is so much going on in Vegas and at the Palms alone, you will never be looking for something to do!

You do not want to miss out on Spring Break 2012 in Vegas, especially if your break falls during the week that MTV will be with us. You want parties? You want sexy co-eds? You want celebrities at every corner? YOU WANT VEGAS!

Would you make out with a robot?

Headlines today have read, “Kissing robot clears the way for human-robotic relations.”

THE relationship between humans and robots just got a little bit creepier. An artificial intelligence researcher in Singapore has developed a robot with a virtual mouth that can emulate and transmit a kiss – bringing an extra touch of intimacy to a long-distance relationship or even a video game. The “Kissinger” is the size and shape of a softball and has a pair of touch-sensitive lips that detect and copy how each partner delivers their kiss. Hooman Samani said as well as bridging the physical gap between real people it could also create a link with the virtual worlds to add a new dimension to gaming.

Where the Christ am I? Literally no reactions to this other than that I am very concerned.

If I were in a long-distance relationship, I would rather my boyfriend was going around kissing other girls, instead of making out with a robot.  Let’s just say that if my boyfriend was making out with a robot, I’d be single.

How do you guys feel about this “kissing robot?”

Is it okay to spy on your significant other?

We’ve all been there.  We suspect that our significant other is having rendezvous with individuals who we would not appreciate them rond-es-vous-ing with.

We have 2 options:

1. Let it go, maybe ask them about it, but when they tell us there’s nothing to worry about, you leave it alone until there’s more of a reason to worry.

2. Call me Elliot Stabler, ’cause it’s on like Donkey Kong.  I’m getting to the bottom of this.

Let’s be honest…we’re all going for the latter.  It’s on.  This is it…don’t get scared now.

The latter goes one of two ways:

1. There is nothing to be found. Facebook documents everything these days and you know that your boyfriend/girlfriend is in no way smart enough to know how to delete anything.  Even if they had deleted anything scandalous, Facebook has stored it elsewhere, and you’re creepy enough and smarter than them, and know where to look for everything.

2. JACKPOT. HOME RUN. You’ve got more Intuition than Jewel, you’ve found exactly what you were looking for.

Here comes the hard part… Now that you’ve found what you were looking for, what’s your next move? Do you confront them and let them know you were creeping? Maybe you probably “didn’t realize their Facebook was signed in” and you happened to come across these messages?

What I want to know is, once we have found that Scumbag McGee was being a cheating loser, why do you feel guilty? You have found what you were looking for but it is so hard to come right out and say, “Hey. Assface, you were being shady, I creeped all your shit and found exactly what I suspected. BYE.”

At the end of the day:

Is it okay to spy on your significant other?

What’s your next move when you’ve found the goods? LET US KNOW!

Pat Sajak and Vanna boozed on the job

It all comes out…Pat Sajak and Vanna White used to booze during breaks while taping Wheel of Fortune.

In a People Magazine interview, good old PattyWhack exposed, “Vanna and I would … have two or three or six and then come and do the last shows and have trouble recognizing the alphabet,” he said. “I had a great time. I have no idea if the shows were any good, but no one said anything, so I guess I did OK.”

Really, Pat and Vanna?  As if your jobs weren’t already dandy enough…just spinning blocks with letters on them and giving away money, vacations, and other prizes to working-class citizens?  Now you have to go around and flaunt the fact that you were able to do so all while popping a bottle backstage?  JEALOUS!

I have to fight myself every morning to not enjoy a mimosa roadie before work, all while Pat and Vanna were getting the party started at the office.

I wonder if Vanna was drunk on that episode of Full House that she did when DJ had to take the SATs?  I can only assume she was getting silly backstage with Bob Saget and Uncle Jesse in between takes.

I’d love to see some vintage Pat and Vanna and point out the moments when they’re clearly hammered.  It would be kind of like watching old episodes of Laguna Beach and now realizing that Kristin Cavallari and her friends were cocked for 75% of the episodes.
