I’m not sure if the ‘Lohanthony’ trend has caught on by you, but where I live, he has given a whole new meaning to basic. we’re all basic. your shirt is basic. the music you like is basic. in fact, your mom is probably basic. as much as I get a kick – literally – out of him and his pinwheel legs (see the video below)…

I can’t help but wonder if his mother knows what he is up to. can we call this feminine preteen a role model? in fact, I have never in my life heard someone under the age of 15 use the F word more than myself. sure he’s entertaining and I can definitely appreciate that. but peep the video here:

I’m not saying kids are going to start beating each other up over some ‘motha-fuggin’ french fries, but YOU’RE 12. it’s pathetic. I think I was learning what nail polish was and riding my bike. what happened, america?

…and why are we egging him on?

I saw @kanyewest, before he announced his fatherhood

so thanks to a radio contest on hot 97, yours truly snagged herself two tickets to see kanye west at revel on December 28th as well as a room for the night. I do enjoy watching him perform live, even if he is only on stage for 12.87 minutes. just kidding, it was more like an hour and a half. but enjoy the pics! revel is a very very cool place. you should check it out before it drowns in debt completely.

octomom is making music…and I still have a desk job

and to make matters worse, her song is called “sexy party”. how does she have time to be sexy and/or party with 8 mouths to feed? oh maybe because she definitely doesn’t take care of her kids. and popped out all 8 babies just for media attention. have a listen here on TMZ and let me know your thoughts (because mine aren’t so nice)

at least she makes casey anthony not look so guilty

rah, rah racism: why every preteen’s fave movie makes MLK jr cry (PART 1)

“we’re sexy, we’re cute. we’re popular to-boot.” sound familiar? of course it does. it’s the opening jam of the classic, all-american cheerleading movie – bring it on. i’ll be the first to admit, I love bring it on. as a cheerleader myself, I can watch the competitions go on for hours. but now that I’m older, I can’t help but question the morality of it.

part 1: hometown.

eliza, those digs aren’t too shabby

  • we have rancho carne, ca – a made up town – predominantly white. and predominantly rich. I blatantly remember wanting to remodel my bedroom after kirsten dunst’s room. or wishing my parents were never home like eliza dushku. and can we just stop for a second and reminisce on her backyard? lush green grass and the never-been-touched swing set. each girl has a new car, one girl refers to her dad as an ATM, and they’re cliquey ‘no uber-dykes’ culture just proves their ignorance.

oh no white girl, you did not

  • think of the opposing team, in east compton, ca – more of a real town even though it shares its zip code with the actual compton, ca. 82% of this east compton community is from a hispanic or latino descent. over 1/3 of the population is black. and bring it on writer jessica bedinnger doesn’t stop there. the cheerleading squad is so poor, they have to write to ‘paulette’ (the wannabe oprah), begging for money so they have a shot on espn. the concept itself is honest and really wants the viewer to go with the underdog. but why does this all-black squad have to be so underprivileged? is somebody hinting at something? in fact, there’s even a part where one of the east compton girls threatens to hit a rancho girl. is that stereotypical? do all black girls want to fight? I don’t think so.

and if the producers of bring it on realized this predominant stereotype – why would they let the 4 white girls drive to east compton on a friday night flawlessly? oh right, because the average age of the audience is 13.

let me know how you feel – comment below or tweet me @coolshtbybritt

…..stay tuned for part 2 in the next few days

iPhone 4 cases to be caught dead with

don't leave this on the picnic table around hungry people

who doesn’t love a good bargain on etsy? more often than not, I find myself scrolling through the “geekery” section to see what little trinkets I can add to my laptop or iPhone. and then I came across GraphicPals.  never in my life have I seen such uniquely awesome phone cases. from dr. spock’s ear to ice cream sandwiches – they have it covered. check out my favorites below:

forget the etch a sketch app when you have the real deal

this one might get a little bit messy

halle berry’s lion king baby nahla needs a shrink

according to TMZ, after all of the custody battles between halle berry and her ex beau – gabriel aubry – have been taking its toll on their precious nahla. the nanny insists that gabe isn’t the best daddy around, but you know … he said, she said and then he fired her anyway.

the couple is in court today to finalize their custody issues, but with halle’s demand of an investigation of child endangerment on her baby daddy, I’m not so sure how long it will take.

so it’s time for the baby to have her own therapist because at age  3, that’s totally normal.

top 5 filthy, dirty songs we were allowed to listen to as kids

20120119-215039.jpg

when I was little, my mom always had the radio in the car (as most moms usually do). and me, in the back seat, I would sing my butt off until I was blue in the face. and nowadays, I love hearing songs from my youth – who doesn’t? don’t say nobody because throw on spice girls at your next bash and count how many girls scream, “OHMYGODDDDDDD. I LOVE THIS SONG!!!!”

but when we’re little, do we really listen to the words? because in reality, some of these ‘throwback jams’ are a little dirty for a tot’s ears. so for those of you in my generation aka the early 90s, let’s see what sex-making tunes you had to listen to:

1. Next – “Too Close”: step back you’re dancing kinda close, feel a little poke coming through (excited, much?)

2. Los Del Rio – “Macarena”: what was I supposed to do? he was out of town and his two friends were soooo fine.. (um probably not have a threeesome? just a suggestion)

3. Roula – “Lick It”: gotta get it soft and wet so you can stick it (what are you getting soft and wet? hmm..)

4. 112 – “Peaches and Cream”: love the way you’re just flowin down…got your legs around my neck so I can’t get up (OFFICIAL WINNER)

5. B-52s – “Love Shack”: huggin and a kissin, dancing and a lovin, wearin next to nothing (what goes on at this love shack?!)

I know there’s more, help me out in the comments!!

how about an empty bowl? 5 cereals that drowned in the milk

let’s travel back to our toddler days for a minute. when eating cereal was the coolest thing you could do before school. and when you got to school, all you did was talk about the cool cereal you just ate. well, here lies some of our most beloved cereal that no longer is with us today:

NERD ALERT: play the original pokemon game online

pikachu, I choose you

for those of you who also grew up in the late 90s/early 2000s, you know how important pokemon was to our generation. we had cards, movies, tv shows, video games, stuffed animals, the list goes on. and I’ll be the first to admit – I was totally hooked. I played pokemon red 24/7. and I couldn’t just beat the game either, no no I had to use special codes. and then start over and beat it again using the dragon instead of the turtle. my next door neighbor and I would battle with the cards and collect those cool rocks they gave you while swapping energy cards. let’s face it, I was a total geek.

don't act like you don't recognize this

so I’ll be completely honest, when I found that you can play the original game boy series online at playr.org, I was pumped. granted it didn’t hold my attention like the original did and I think I made it through one battle with a rattata, but it’s the theory that counts. and you can play any of the original games - red, blue, gold, silver, green, the list goes on. go ahead, give it a shot. see how well you do this time around playing as spiky-haired ash.

…and don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone.
