Tupac the Musical, and Carly Rae Jepsen playing Cinderella?

This news is as weird as that time Tupac's hologram showed up at Coachella.

According to Vulture's Jesse David Fox "[t]he musical will tell the story of the families of two young friends in a present-day Midwestern inner-city." So it's not necessarily about "Tupac Shakur"'s life, but his music will be a part of the story, like Abba to Mamma Mia! The show is called Holler If Ya Hear Me, and will open in the Palace Theater on Broadway this June.

The Camp Gyno

This is one of the best tampon commercials I've seen in a long time. You know what I love about it? That it's not all Full House about- *gasps* PERIODS!!! From the get-go, we hear a little girl casually talk about menstruation like it ain't no thang. And you know what? This is actually a cool initiation into the miserable monthly cycle also known as "Aunt Flo". Mine however, was very different.

An American reviews Doctor Who

Could someone please explain to me why it's such a big deal? A few days ago news broke that Peter Capaldi would be replacing Matt Smith as the Doctor. The blogosphere exploded. The American scratched her head in wonder. 

So I finally hankered down to watch my first episode on a friend's couch last week.

Inner beauty's overrated

I'm very proud to be half Persian, but it does come with its downsides. I was born with my father's eyebrows, which require more upkeep than a blonde's. God forbid you want to lighten your hair, you'd need a lot of bleach. (I've been blonde before, and the maintenance is not worth it.) 

Nose jobs are not uncommon in our culture. After a successful procedure, a friend of a friend deleted all her "before" pictures off of Facebook.

DOES HE LIKE ME?! In an age where girls try to gauge the depth of a guy's feelings from texts like "Hi" and "Wazzup", an increasing number have turned to the internet for answers. Since its launch in October, HeTexted has been receiving women's perplexed questions about texts, in which users can vote "He's into you" or "He's not into you." The site has had between 25,000 and 40,000 visitors per day.

Nothing's more fun than girl drama and hypocritical celebrities. Who cares about the Golden Globes when Kelly Osbourne and Lady Gaga are feuding?
