Shenae Grimes is taking Beverly Hills by storm. This former Degrassi star is taking on the new role of Annie Wilson—a small-town girl new to the bright lights and big city action of Los Angeles—on CW’s spin-off series 90210. Grimes, 20, is also the face of L.e.i’s Model Citizen Campaign, a nationwide search for the girl who embodies “life, energy and intelligence.” Grand prize winners will win an internship with Teen Vogue, a $100,000 scholarship and a trip to Los Angeles. We got a chance to catch up with the busy young Canadian fashionista during her visit to Florida International University.

Awards season is the perfect excuse to throw a themed party. Taking a break from studying and watching the Academy Awards with friends can prove to be a fun-filled evening. The live showing of the Oscars is this Sunday, March 7, 2010 at 8 p.m. eastern, 5 p.m. pacific time.

Let me guess! Before last semester, you spent a small fortune in Bed, Bath, and Beyond, throwing countless items into your cart. You then packed up your new room’s wardrobe and dumped it all onto the floor of your dorm. It was not until after you began unpacking that you finally figured out what you had actually purchased and realized that a leopard print rug does not quite go with a lime green and turquoise throw blanket, or a three-foot tall replica of the Eiffel Tower. In order to make your little closet of a room feel like home, you do not need to go dog-earing an entire PB Teen catalogue! You just need a few personal touches!

A healthier lifestyle and a better future are admirable goals that few people could argue against, but for many people that goal turns into a life consuming obsession called body dysmorphic disorder.
