A sneak peek at the blueprints for the “Real World” DC’s house.
Does anyone still care about this franchise when we’ve got the beatific Lauren Conrad leadings us blindly toward the light?
“Reality” is so overrated when it doesn’t come with an Us Weekly cover. Am I right, or am I right?

It’s that time of the year again, people: from now through 5/27, you can weigh in on the MTV Movie Award nominations.
Keep in mind, you’re either part of the solution, or you’re part of the problem. Let’s all vow to work together as regards BRIDE WARS.

Aw! Leo’s advice to lil’ Zac actually makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
Don’t judge.

The LES Girls’ Club has some kewl events on their spring calender. I love the idea of recycling prom fashion—I’ll bet some of the offerings will be funktastically vintage and diff. And my new school has about six different formal events a week…

A Bradford girl's take on Oscars fashion →
Madison Takahashi is a junior who I haven’t yet had the chance to really get to know. (It’s a jungle out there, no joke). I have to say I dig her sense of humor. Rumor has it she’s launching her own fashion line shortly, too. And I think she’s a cellist. So basically, the total package. Not. Intimidating. At all.
“I did a rehearsal and messed it up. I am probably going to be the letdown of the...”

Am I the only one who thinks that SLUMDOG was just the eensiest bit overrated?
Um, wtf, Chris Brown?
Have you read about his arrest for battery? People are saying Rhianna was the victim. Not cool, CB. Seriously.

Now, here’s some casting news that I can get behind. Okay, so nothing will ever live up to the original, but Still. I. Can’t. Wait.
Hillary Tuff
As a fellow young actress, I wouldn’t say I have anything against Hilary Duff, per se, though of course her current canon isn’t exactly award-fodder.
But.
This headline hurts my heart a little bit: Hilary Duff Gets Tough With Bonnie and Clyde
I mean, really, Hil? Taking over the role immortalized by Faye Dunaway in Bonnie and Clyde?
I saw the photo spread in Allure way back when and agree that...
(Curtain) Calling all Thespians:
Really wanting to know if it ever gets easier. If stage fright ever truly goes away.
I gots me an audition for a new indie flick set to shoot in Philly next month. Fly By Night. Said to be starring some major deals, including Iron Man himself, RDJr. My part would be small but meaty. I don’t want to give too much away—I’m not not a superstitious girl—but cross your fingers for me. And toes. And go...

Social Distortion
Spencer Kelly announced today that ever since her Bitchiness, Paige, was hauled off to rehab, Regan Stanford has taken P’s place on the social planning committee. Maybe I’ll give it another go-round now that the witch is dead? I mean, Mom keeps telling me to get more involved, and C.J. swears up and down that most of his friends are actually, um, nice. Hmm…
Having a Ball
Okay, so being an underclassman at Bradford isn’t all bad news.
Last night, for example, I got to channel my inner screen goddess (and you know she’s in there) at the Hollywood Ball.
Turns out, girls here get way decked out for this sort of thing. Like, Oscars decked out. Next time, I may have to wear something that tiny French pixies wove with magic dust and nimble fairy wings … or...

So, um, WTF?
When C.J. warned me that some of the girls in his … <cringe> … posse were kind of high-maintenance, I considered myself duly warned. But it must be likewise duly noted that clearly, I had no idea what I was in store for here at Bradford.
The one upperclass(wo)man (or at least, more upper than me) who has actually gone out of her way to be nice to me since I started...

Dress Rehearsal
Euuughhh.
First day of a new school tomorrow. Prep school, no less. It’s inevitable: by this time tomorrow, I’ll be drowning in a sea of argyle and popped pastel polo collars.
Again I say: euuughh.
C.J. says I’m overreacting, that the kids at Bradford are totally normal. But if his friends are any indication?
Yeah, not so much.
I mean, Dalton and Tyler are cute, but lacrosse jocks aren’t...
