#CandidlyNicole Gets Picked Up By VH1

Since the end of the first season for the web series, I’ve been wondering whether or not Nicole Richie would be returning. It was announced on Monday that VH1 has actually picked up the web series to be an actual television series starting Thursday, July 17th. The season will include 8 half-hour episodes and we’re more than thrilled because that is more than triple the time that we used to get with her web series!

In case you forgot about the funny…

Can you believe we’ve already been through 17 episodes? Girl, can do no wrong. But seriously, Veronica and I wish we could just be her because she’s amazing and we’re pretty sure that she’s the one boosting activity on AOL.com right now and has been for the last couple of months.

Conversations From 20-Somethings [Revised]

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZ3aHdGc92U]

I recently wrote a post last month about a somewhat controversial topic for the Conversations From 20-Somethings series on “homie hopping.” After giving it some thought and some time as well as hearing from other people in my life that expressed their views to me on the topic, I have since had a little bit of a change of heart. In the original post, I gave a set of rules for when homie hopping would be acceptable and not acceptable. Today, I’ve basically decided that it is NOT acceptable by any means. In fact, it’s the highest level of disrespect. Not only is it sleazy, but it’s a little bit trashy.

While both the ex and the friend are at fault, the ex has no obligation to you after you break up. They can date whoever they want, but if they had enough respect and consideration for you, they wouldn’t date anyone in your friend group. Your friend, however, should simply know better. Since I’ve written the post, people in my life have shared several thoughts and perspectives on the idea that I thought would be worth mentioning because I’ve only seen my own views of homie hopping, which is what I used to write the original post and what I am using now to write this post.

“When a friend of mine decided to date our other friend’s ex – the other friend told her that the friendship would be over if she did that. And because I am against homie hopping, I also stopped being friends with the friend that participated in the homie hopping.”

“If a friend decides to date your ex, everyone that knows them will instantly lose respect for them.”

“I expect my friends to all have a certain degree of respect for me and my space, emotions, relationships, etc. especially people that you consider to be “good” or best friend. So by all means, homie hopping isn’t acceptable.”

“I don’t understand what goes through people’s minds nowadays. Do they know that a friendship is done when this type of thing happens?”

“Just like relationships, friendships also have boundaries and if you are the friend that is hurt in this  – you have to decide how far is too far? Homie hopping is  blatant disrespect to that and totally crossing the line.”

“A relationship that is built on the foundation of something that is not supported by others and that came together in a way that was wrong in the first place won’t last.”

“When a relationship ends, you don’t run to your mom or some random stranger for support, you go to your best friend. He or she is supposed to be there to help you through one of the toughest points in your life, eat endless pints of ice cream or do whatever girls/guys do and in the end let you cry about the asshole who tore your heart out.”

“Your best friend is supposed to be your advocate. As they watch you cry about the person who hurt you, what shouldn’t be going through their head is when am I going to see X again? or I wonder if X is going to take me to somewhere nice tonight. That’s just cruel. What is even worse is when you hide behind their back and the truth comes out from someone else. Friendships are about respect, trust, and honesty. They are not about seeing your best friend in pain and deciding that the person who put them through that is your next prince charming.”
