At 1:37 her science lab sounds pretty fabulous.
At 2:36 this is all your fault, really.
At 3:06 you might wonder why you weren't allowed to study this in school.
At 3:55 you will not expect her to go here.
At 7:15 find out what our reaction to gossip says about us as a society.
At 8:50 you might actually feel bad for Kristen Stewart.
At 9:30 you'll find a new reason to hate "Two And A Half Men."
At 10:50 it's time for some real talk.
At 11:53 why are we so obsessed with this kind of gossip in particular?
At 13:35 it's time for some very real talk about Chris Brown and Rihanna.
At 15:00 being a society that does this is definitely more embarrassing than being a person who enjoys celebrity gossip.
At 15:32 is John Travolta gay? Does it matter?
At 16:54 she asks one of the most important questions you'll hear all week.
At 18:16 I joined her crusade for gossip. Did you?
