#ThrowawayThursday: Bikini Bridges Be Gone

Thursday, June 19: Ladies, LADIES! We get it. You have fantastic, incredible, slender yet curvy bodies. Must you use this awkward angle to throw it in our faces? First of all, everyone looks thinner laying down. Second of all, and this is for Miss Kim Kardashian on the right specifically, we do not need an up close and personal introduction to your happy trail! Belly hair is best left off our Instagram feeds. Please and thank you.

Slap bracelets, cassette tapes, every Limp Bizkit album—there are some things we are just O-V-E-R. Too much time in the spotlight means overexposure, means we love to hate you (Hi, Anne Hathaway). So every week, we'll present a thing, a person, an idea, a trend, ANYTHING that we have had just about enough of. And see that handy, dandy hashtag? Feel free to tweet us or tag us on Instagram with what you're not feeling this week with #ThrowawayThursday. So without futher ado... 

Thursday, June 12: We are DONE with your public displays of wishy-washyness, Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez! While the #Jelena fans of the world are no doubt thrilled with each installment of this ongoing saga, the fairweather fans have had just about enough! Sure, we’re all for young love—go, let your freak flags fly, kids—but we are so OVER you teasing us with your Willow-filtered instagrams and sexy dance videos that are posted JUST long enough to get the world buzzing, before you unceremoniously delete the ‘grams and go back to your luxe lifestyles, sipping Dom Perignon and laughing behind our backs. Just chill, OK? Make music, OK? Stop getting tattoos in weird places, OK?

Thursday, June 5: “Who me?” he asks. “Yes… you, Tom.”

We have finally reached a point where it is no longer cool to hate on Tom Cruise. He of couch-jumping, Xenu-loving, psychiatry-hating fame, is now back in the good graces of Americans nationwide. Sure, he’s still that guy who jumped on a couch and called Matt Lauer “glib”, but he’s also back with a killer new movie (Edge of Tomorrow, which critics are LOVING) and he still has that boyish face that never seems to quit making people smile. Would you just look at that head of hair? And those pearly whites? We’re getting all tingly just thinking about it. Welcome back, Tom.

Thursday, May 29: Last night, Vitalii Sediuk punched Brad Pitt in the face. Who is this Vitalii Sediuk you ask? Well he's a 25-year-old Ukrainian TV personality who makes headlines "pranking" celebrities. Which celebrities you ask? That'd be Will Smith (he tried to kiss him at the Men in Black 3 premiere), Bradley Cooper (he clung to his leg at the 2014 Screen Actor's Guild Awards) and most recently, America Ferrera (he climbed UNDER HER DRESS at the Cannes Film Festival). We're all for having a little fun at our favorite celebs' expense, but this guy goes overboard and we are over it. Mess with the bull Brad Pitt's face, you get the horns. 

Thursday, May 22: We're all for performers having their "thing"—Britney had her belly shirts, Eminem had his bleached blonde hair, hell, the guy from That Thing You Do was nicknamed SHADES—but these white stripper boots Ariane Grande has been rockin' lately just have to go. They don't belong onstage with Iggy Azalea, they don't belong on the red carpet and they most certainly do not belong at the White House Easter Egg Roll paired with an oversized sweater masquerading as a dress. They belong on Nancy Sinatra, and that is IT! 

May 15, 2014: This week we’re calling out the many singing competitions currently dying a slow, slow death on the air. We were all about it from 2002 until about 2010, but at this point, isn’t it time they just quit while they’re (sort of) ahead? American Idol filmed it’s 500th show last night, but just last week FOX announced that they were slicing and dicing the show next year, and that AI would have way fewer episodes. It also canceled The X Factor, which never REALLY became quite the hit it was in the UK. NBC still has The Voice and quasi-singing competition America’s Got Talent, but realistically, how long can those continue to hold our attention?

Are you over reality singing competitions? Will you miss them if they go off the air? Share in the comments or tweet us @OKMagazine.

Thursday, May 8: So Seth Rogen called Justin Bieber a “piece of shit” in January and the press had a field day. Then Andy Cohen asked him about it on Watch What Happens Live at SXSW in March. Then this week, he was asked about it AGAIN on Howard Stern’s Sirius Radio show and—SPOILER ALERT—he still thinks Bieber is a piece of shit. So finally, last night, Justin took to Twitter to give his own take on this never-ending “feud”:

“Seth Rogan sorry I didnt bow down when I asked 2 meet u was probably a bit shy and didn’t want to be over the top but still. love ur movies.”

OK, so his punctuation is spotty and he spelled Seth’s name wrong, and OK, that “sorry I didn’t bow down to you” line is a bit passive aggressive. But look—they are both clearly over it. So can we bury this celeb-on-celeb squabble next to Lauren Conrad and Heidi Montag and call it day?
