More colleges are letting men and women share dorm rooms, but no one expects this will become the norm. College administrators are still afraid letting students live together in sin (and maybe even have sex) will anger parents and donors. More »

Is there ever not friendship tension expressed in awkward silence between the girls on The Hills? Lo is clearly getting territorial towards Lauren, a battle that is made easier for her by Audrina living in the guest house. Shockingly, Audrina was able to confide in JustinBobby about the whole thing, and instead of burping in her face, he played the part of the sweet and understanding BF (or whatever), offering advice. (Just when you thought things couldn't get any more Bizarro on that show.) Clip above. More »

Today on Judge Judy, a group of litigious, female, 19-year-old roommates were featured, angry over a bunch of crap like unpaid rent and belongings. The defendant claimed that she knew that her former roommates stole her underwear because she saw one of them posed provocatively in the panties on MySpace. The girl featured with the panties explained that she swiped them simply because thought it would be cool to do some American Apparel-inspired shots, and JJ — who is probably no fan of Dov Charney or American Apparel's advertising — definitely didn't like the sound of that. Clip above. More »

JustinBobby came back on the scene on last night's episode of The Hills, and we couldn't be happier. Of course, Lauren got all pissed off about it, because she makes a big stinkin' deal out of having both friend and boyfriend approval of the people she lives with. Particularly awkward was fact that both Heidi and JustinBobby had the nerve to occupy Audrina's time in a public place while at the same table as Lauren. And even more awkward was that bitchy, passive-aggressive roommate conversation that Lo, Lauren and Audrina had over brunch. Clip above. More »
