11 People To Break Ties With Now That You’re In College

Sep 4, 2014 Posted by Deepa Lakshmin In TMZ Music News Comments 0

College is an opportunity to reinvent yourself, so don’t let your past bring you down. Here are the people who have got to go, like, yesterday. Do yourself a solid and ditch ‘em, pronto.

1. Your High School Ex

One day you guys will hopefully be able to “just be friends.” Today is probably not that day. Cut off communication with your ex, so you can fully appreciate all the new hotties you’ll meet at college.

2. Your Lifelong, Unrequited Crush

If it hasn’t happened by now, it’s not gonna happen. Stop driving yourself crazy wondering “what if” and get on with your life.

3. The Mean Girl

It seems like every high school had their own Regina George. De-friend this person immediately after graduation and never look back — unless it’s to make fun of her just like she made fun of you (but we didn’t tell you that).

4. The Friend Who Always Ditched You For Their Significant Other

If it’s Date Night every time you want to hang, wish them a nice life together…without you in it.

5. The Gossiper

Don’t tell them what’s going on in your life, but maybe keep in touch jussttt enough to get the dish on who broke up, who got engaged, who got arrested and who got pregnant post-graduation.

You Won’t Survive College Without These 11 Apps

by Deepa Lakshmin 28 mins ago
Heading off to college is equal parts exciting and terrifying. The leap from high school to undergrad is a huge one, and — trust us — your classmates are just as nervous about it as you are. College life is a whole new ballgame that’ll hit you before you’re ready for it, but these apps will definitely make the transition easier.

1. Seamless or GrubHub, because you burn all the things whenever you cook

At some inevitable point, you won’t be able to stand dining hall food anymore. Fortunately, ordering takeout has never been easier. You’ve probably already used the Seamless or GrubHub websites — but with their smartphone apps, you can order cheesy pizza and mozzarella sticks on your way home, so that both gourmet delicacies are waiting for your drunken self when you arrive at your dorm. Be careful, though, because you think the Freshman 15 will never happen to you…until it does.
2. Sleep Cycle, because waking up is hard

You know those days when you wake up feeling well-rested and ready to take on the world? Yeah, they’re not most days. The Sleep Cycle app costs 99 cents, and it’s more than worth it for a good night’s sleep.
The app uses your phone’s accelerometer to track your sleep phases, which are measured by how much or how little you’re moving while asleep. You simply set the Sleep Cycle alarm clock to the time you absolutely need to ...

Cop Drives Drunk Man Home, Sends Him Funny Text The Next Day

by Deepa Lakshmin 8 mins ago
Being hungover is punishment enough for a rough night out, so it’s kinda nice when a friend checks up on you the next morning to make sure you’re OK (and to bring you a bagel). It’s even more badass when a cop texts you.

That’s exactly what happened to Marty, who was luckily driven home by the police after what we can only assume was a raucous night of fun and debauchery. A cop sent Marty this thoughtful message the next day:

Waking up with only a hazy memory of the night before is a scary feeling. It’s no fun to frantically text everyone in your phone to piece together the details of the night à la “The Hangover.” It’s even less fun to be the poor soul that has to take care of a drunk friend — so we tip our hats to Mr. Nice Ploice Man for getting Marty home safely.

The 17 Girlfriends Your Favorite Cartoons Would Grow Up To Be

by Deepa Lakshmin 19 mins ago
You guys already saw what type of boyfriend various male cartoon characters would make — and now it’s time for the ladies. Whether you were secretly crushin’ on Daria, Pocahantas or Trixie Tang, we got you.

1. Angelica Pickles, the high-maintenance spoiled brat

She’s the kinda date who doesn’t even offer to split the bill when it comes. Heading to a bar after dinner? You know she’s only ordering from the top shelf.
2. Ginger Foutley, the ex who writes a Thought Catalog post about you after the breakup

She’s got a lot of feelings and they’re posted for the entire world to see. While she didn’t use your real name, she did share it on Facebook and tagged you. There is no chance you’ll ever date any of her Facebook friends.
3. Daria Morgendorffer, the girl with the “IDGAF” attitude

Sarcasm is her native language and she has a resting b*tchface. Dating her is like eating crab legs. If you can get past the tough outer shell, the insides are totally worth it.
4. Tina Belcher, your not-so-secret admirer

Somehow she wormed her way into your extended group of friends and you always catch her staring at you at parties. It’s hard to know whether to be flattered or seriously creeped out. It’s gonna be SUPER awkward after you drunkenly hook up.
5. Princess Anna of Arendelle, the girlfriend who always wants to do couple-y things together

13 Fun VMA Facts Your Friends Probably Don’t Know

by Deepa Lakshmin 10 mins ago
The VMAs have been around for, like, your entire life. A ton of interesting stuff has happened during and behind-the-scenes of the show, and we’ve put together a few fun facts to round out your full VMAs education.

Keep your knowledge of pop culture sharp and witty — as it should be — by watching this year’s show on Sunday at 9/8c.

1. At the first VMAs, Michael Jackson won three awards. Who was the only performer to win more? Herbie Hancock. Wait a minute — who?
The first VMAs were at Radio City Music Hall on September 14, 1984. Dan Akroyd and Bette Midler hosted the show, and musician Herbie Hancock took home five awards — and we don’t blame you if you have no idea who any of those people are.

2. In 2013, the Moonman statue was redesigned for the first time in 30 years.

3. Madonna has won more Moonman awards than Michael Jackson and Janet Jackson combined.
Madonna has won more VMAs than anyone ever. She’s won 20 Moonmen since 1984 — when she opened the show with a scandalous-at-the-time performance of “Like A Virgin” — for everything from Video Of The Year to Best Longform Video.

Sex Swing Fanatic Evicted For ‘Sexual, Athletic and Squeaking Noises’

by Deepa Lakshmin 22 mins ago
Your apartment building’s quiet hours mean no crazy parties, no loud music, and…no sex swings? This is the dilemma for one German man, whose landlord evicted him for regularly using a squeaky old swing set as part of his late night sexual activities.

A court in Munich ruled to uphold the landlord’s decision today. The tenant’s lease required quiet hours between 10 p.m. to 7 a.m., and his swing set antics repeatedly disturbed his neighbors with “sexual, athletic and squeaking noises” during this time period. The neighbors’ complaints then led to his eviction.

The legal problem wasn’t the sex swing’s existence in the home — it was more about what time the “very old” swing was being used. The court said the tenant’s disruptively loud use late into the night “would no longer correspond to normal rental use, and must therefore not be tolerated as socially acceptable.”

So swing set dude, wherever you are, we guess you can keep getting your squeak on — just not while everyone else around you is trying to get some shuteye.

It’s Time Lindsay Lohan Got The VMA Recognition She Deserves

by Deepa Lakshmin 9 mins ago
We’ve all watched Lindsay Lohan grow up since her adorable 1998 debut in “The Parent Trap,” even if not everything she’s done since then has been quite as cute. (“Mean Girls” forgives all, though, so it’s cool.) She’s changed a ton since her first VMA appearance way back in 2003, and in case you can’t remember back that far, we’ve compiled some of Lindsay’s best VMAs moments. Let’s start with the oldest, shall we?

2003 VMAs: Ahh, young Lindsay. 2003 was the year “Freaky Friday” hit it big, and Lindsay’s career was skyrocketing after the success of her previous Disney movies “Get A Clue” and “Life-Size.”

BOOTCUT JEANS, YOU GUYS! BOOTCUT JEANS!

9 Times A Comedian Made Everyone LOL At The VMAs

by Deepa Lakshmin 11 mins ago
The VMAs are about music. We get it. The problem is that wall-to-wall music, with musicians thanking their producers in between, gets repetitive. Even if it’s really great music. That’s why comedians have been necessary to the show since it started in 1984. Let’s be honest, musicians aren’t always the best talkers, so comics poking fun at everything (and everyone) are great to keep the show moving. Check out our favorite funny moments are below, and no doubt this Sunday’s VMAs will have plenty of similarly entertaining moments.

1. Jimmy Fallon spoofs your favorite songs (2002 VMAs)

From Eminem‘s “Without Me”…

21 Photos That Prove The 1994 VMAs Were The Nineties-est Thing Ever

by Deepa Lakshmin 17 mins ago
The 1994 VMAs were gloriously weird and embodied everything you could ever want from the ’90s — from denim tuxedos to delightfully disheveled comedians to the existence of VJ Kennedy, oh, and SO MUCH NORMCORE. Justin Bieber and Harry Styles were just being born in 1994, and judging by whatever Steven Tyler was doing with his butt that year, we really could’ve used pop’s current princes in this bizarre decade because ’90s dudes just did not make sense.

Here are some quintessentially ’90s photos that’ll take you back in time and prove that the 1994 VMAs had a lock on, well, the ’90s. If these photos bum you out, bear in mind that R.E.M. took home four VMAs for “Everybody Hurts” that year, so we were kind of in a dark place as a nation. We guarantee the 2014 VMAs will look a lot better on Sunday, August 24. (Except for when you look at photos of the 2014 VMAs from your spaceship iPhone in 2034.)
