No matter who you are, the older you get, the more you hate teenagers. They’re loud, inconsiderate and probably up to no good. Even as a teenager, I thought myself obnoxious. I was 16, damnit. I could do what I wanted; go where I pleased; say what I wanted to say, and I did. All my friends and I felt as though everyone was out to get us. Really, we were just bored.

You tune in while they tune out. (more…)

I’m not sure about the rest of you but I was really looking forward to seeing Britney Spears‘ performance at the VMA’s this past Sunday. And why not!

In 2001 Britney shimmied around stage with barely anything on but a giant snake wrapped around her body. Two years later her open-mouth kiss with Madonna was the most talked about girl-on-girl moment since Denise Richards and Neve Campbell showed me what an erection was in Wild Things. And how could I forget the infamous see-through, skin-tone bathing suit that generously displayed her love bags in 2000? Needless to say this 2007 performance had some hype to live up to – and what a perfect time for Britney to have the opportunity. (more…)
