i can do it MYSELF

can you believe this.

were you wondering what my worst nightmare was?

ST. MARY’S CITY, Md. — Kimberly Fitzgerald, a freshman at St. Mary’s College of Maryland here, loves it when people ask where she lives.
“It’s a good story to tell,” she said. That is because Ms. Fitzgerald and 239 schoolmates live on a cruise ship that was converted into student housing after an outbreak of mold shut down two dorms on campus. The closing forced students into hotels miles from campus, and Ms. Fitzgerald, 18, stayed in a Holiday Inn that was a 45-minute drive from campus. via nyt

she doesn't look pregnant to me.

champagne problems

Yale QB Patrick Witt found out last week that he was a finalist for the Rhodes Scholarship. Great news right? WRONG. His interview is this weekend in Atlanta, but Witt is scheduled to play against Yale's arch-rival Harvard! Pop quiz hot shot, what do you do? what do you do?






Spoiler Alert: He's withdrawing his application so that he can focus on playing "The Game." yikes...


"For more than a century, Rhodes scholars have left Oxford with virtually any job available to them. For much of this time, they have overwhelmingly chosen paths in scholarship, teaching, writing, medicine, scientific research, law, the military and public service. They have reached the highest levels in virtually all fields." #justsayin'


Soooo, guess we'll see you at the game this weekend Patrick!

who is replacing fergie in the black eyed peas?

You probably heard that Fergie is leaving the Black Eyed Peas to focus on her family. There were rumors swirling for a minute that Ashanti was being called up from the minor leagues to replace her, but basically everyone now agrees that was never going to happen. So if the group does want to stay together, who should step in for Mrs. Duhamel?


 1) Ciara -Her solo career is way under the radar at the moment. She just left / was dropped by her record label because they couldn't / wouldn't promote her new album. It is very clear that she has a hip hop sound that can move a solid single. She would be good for the job and probably needs it.
 

 2) Nicole Scherzinger -Like recent Ciara, Nicole (from the pussycat dolls) has had some trouble getting her solo work noticed. She has a proven track record in a group, but she did just get that new job on X Factor as a judge with Simon Cowell. Maybe she will be looking for an excuse to jump off that sinking ship.

 3) Cristina Milian -She is still kicking around. There is some evidence from about a decade ago that she can make good music. Like Nicole though, she just got a new television job as the on-air social media correspondent on The Voice


4) Willow Smith younger crowd, and the approval of the all powerful Xenu


 5) Zombie Aaliyah -dig her up. if human reanimation becomes possible, i want Aaliyah to be the first one that comes back.
 


 6) Lil' Mama -her lip gloss be poppin. it doesn't really seem like she would get along very well with will.i.am.not. though.
