As a member of the graduate admissions committee, I have to evaluate
whether a student will excel in research and whether they have a clear

I've discovered that the hot girl (Vanessa Marcil, left in photo next to Paris Hilton) in Las Vegas [ok, all of the women in that show are hot] was married to Corey Feldman and now her claim to fame is having Brian Austin Green's

For the record: life is not fair!
