Hilary’s Highlights: Snooki, James Franco, and more!

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at UCF chapter.

If you just woke up from a one week coma, here is what you missed… you’re welcome.

Reality Stars Gettin Preggerz

Apparently the hottest new trend for ex-reality stars is getting knocked up! Snooki (Nicole Polizzi) has announced she is pregnant with her second child with fiancé, Jionni LaValle. The couple still intends on going ahead with their wedding plans, and the pregnancy won’t push back the date.

It’s truly scary that the girl who got punched in the face at a bar and fell down a flight of stairs will be responsible for the lives of two children. Just kidding, this is Hollywood; she totally won’t be raising them! *Insert sigh of relief*

Bachelorette, Ashley Herbert, and husband/winner J.P. Rosenbaum, have announced they are expecting their first child. The couple met and “fell in love” back in May, 2011 on Ashley’s season of The Bachelorette. Their wedding was then aired on ABC in December, 2012. Ahhhhh the good ol’ days of Bachelor success stories!  Take a lesson Juan Pablo…. too soon?

James Franco is a Creeper

James Franco doesn’t surprise anyone that he’s actually the creepiest man alive. If you’re shocked by this story, it just means you’re a moron. Did you not see him host the Oscars a few years ago?

James Franco started direct messaging seventeen year old, Lucy Clode, on Instagram, after meeting her. He then went on to ask her how old she is, where she’s from and if she has a boyfriend. Finally, he asked her if he should rent a hotel room.

Clode made no attempt to try and lie about her age, which gives Franco absolutely no chance of getting away with being so freaking skeezy. Franco even had to go on Live with Kelly & Michael, and apologize for his bad judgment.

Poor James can’t catch a break, maybe he should try hanging out at NYU Starbucks – there are sure to be a lot of slutty EIGHTEEN year olds looking to bone.

Captain America 2

Captain America: The Winter Soldier opened this past Friday. It’s the sequel to the first installment, which hit theatres in 2011.

This movie stars Chris Evans and Scarlett Johansson. Am I the only one who noticed that these two are back together on the screen for the first time since Nanny Diaries?!?! HARVARD AND ANNIE ARE FINALLY BACK TOGETHER! I think I might be one of the few who liked that movie…

Anyhoo this movie is fantastic and has received a lot of good press. Rotten Tomatoes has given it 89% ripe tomatoes. That’s pretty impressive considering Chris Evans got his start in Not Another Teen Movie, #embarrassing.

All in all, the film is great, and Evans takes his shirt off so that’s always a bonus. This movie is an entertaining way to start off the summer blockbuster action movie season.

Austin Mahone turns 18 and Biebs Parties  

What better companion than Biebs to celebrate your 18th birthday with?! That was apparently Austin Mahone’s logic, the newly legal boy band wannabe. 

The new besties celebrated at Nobu, in Miami, and then went to a Heat game. The party didn’t stop there for Biebs, though. He rented out five suites for him and his crew. Little Biebs is trying to get in as much partying as humanly possible before he faces potential jail time, May 5th. Nothing like really sticking it to Justin, than scheduling his DUI trial on Cinco de Drinko.
