Celebrity Buzz Gregg W., aside from the extra “G” in his name, is a completely normal engineer, author, and teacher of the subject of physics, according to his Tripod.com page. And like most engineer-teacher-authors, he also dabbles in paintings of his favorite female pop stars, or at least he did in the late '90s. Below are some examples of some of the best damned art I have ever seen. I've also never been to an art museum.
Celebrity Buzz In the recent months, we've learned that Alicia Silverstone is bird-feeding her kid, Mayim Bialik is still breast-feeding her three-year-old kid, and that Lark Voorhies looks absolutely nothing like she used to. I guess that means it's time to figure out which of our other fan favorites are doing weird things in 2012.
Shift Buzz Now that flannel and crop tops have officially hit their saturation point, it feels like maybe '90s nostalgia has run its course. Here are a few trends that got left behind and are actually looking kind of fresh again? Or maybe they were left behind for a reason. (via nearlyvintage.tumblr.com)
Music Buzz It seems like '00s garbage metal is coming back into fashion. Linkin Park played the Billboard Music Awards last night, and their performance stirred up a lot of weird nostalgia on Twitter.
Culture Buzz These are the inspiring friendships that you desperately wanted in your own life during those lonely teenage years. Disclaimer: this is a totally subjective list. Maybe you were more inspired by Joey and Chandler, I don't know.
TV Buzz BuzzFeeders got together and made a list of the 20 best TV shows of the '90s that never get enough credit for being great. Scour the internet and find these shows!
Celebrity Buzz Today happens to be Lance Bass's birthday. In his honor, let's take a look back at the fashions that Lance — and the rest of boys of N Sync — rocked throughout the '90s.
Culture Buzz Back in the early '90s, I really wanted to get made up, dressed in fancy clothes, and take a series of professional Glamour Shots at the mall. In retrospect, I'm glad I never did.
Celebrity Buzz As a teen heartthrob it was his most marketable asset, but as an adult Joey Lawrence has gone from shaved head to hair to shaved head again. Is Joey Lawrence seriously insecure about his receding hairline — or is he just messing with us? (If so, “Whoa!”)
Culture Buzz It suddenly feels like a blessing that we didn't get Facebook until the 2000's.

Some shows were better at guessing the future than others. The Sony Walkman is going to make a comeback any minute though, right?
Music Buzz What was it about the '90s that spawned board games that were dependent on how able you were to place pieces on a delicate contraption? (Jenga, Don't Break The Ice, Mouse Trap, Don't Wake Daddy… just to name a few.) The Spinto Band's latest video explores how a poor kid who constantly loses could eventually snap.
Culture Buzz It's finally spring! Which is a perfect time to dig through your closet and get rid of all the stuff you don't wear anymore. So what's one fashion statement you've made that you'll never make again? Bonus points for a photo of you wearing it!
TV Buzz A little-known fact about “Clarissa Explains It All”: Melissa Joan Heart recorded a full album in character as Clarissa called “Clarissa and the Straightjackets.” In it, we learn “This Is What 'Na Na' Means” (actual track title), what Clarissa's likes and dislikes are, and that Clarissa didn't really have the best singing voice — not that it matters!
Culture Buzz Fads are a rapidly changing part of culture, and thank sweet baby jesus for it because these trends really need to just stay in their proper decades as warning for past fashion faux pas. And no, none of these should be worn ironically, either.
Celebrity Buzz It must be weird to be married to an actor who so many teenage girls fawned over for years. In that respect, here are 11 things that we all knew about Brian Austin Green's “90210” character, David Silver, that she didn't.
Design Buzz A familiar face made a surprise appearance in Jeremy Scott's very 90s-centric collection last night. Don't have a cow, man, but I really would like a pair of these Bart Simpson stockings — and maybe that Bartman sweater, too! (via papermag.com)
Culture Buzz What started out as a simple google image search resulted in this giant collection of Valentines from the past. Send them to your friends!
TV Buzz Ahh! Kill it with fire!! Surely, this video was uploaded by an evil fan of “Whitney” and “Are You There, Chelsea?” in hopes of ruining Joel's dreamy-factor among “Community” viewers, right?
Culture Buzz Apparently micro-nostalgia has determined that it’s 1999 again. Case in point: the latest lightsaber Gogurt ad to promote the 3D release of “Episode I: The Phantom Menace.”
Music Buzz Benny the Jukebox of Axis of Awesome fame cranks out 33 Clinton Era tunes that’ll make you sweat ‘til you bleed. Don’t worry. Deee-Lite’s in there.
Music Buzz Why? Because ’90s nostalgia is so in right now, duh! Okay, so maybe their new single “Tomorrow” is no “Dreams,” “Zombie,” “Linger” — or even “Free To Decide” — but it definitely is nice to hear the smooth vocals of Dolores O’Riordan once again!

If you grew up in the 90s, you are now secretly a Satanist. Or a Buddhist. Or a Humanist. Same difference.
Culture Buzz Victoria Beckham for Polaroid! Jesse Eisenberg for Oxy! Fergie for Bongo Jeans! Pink for Jelly Roll gel pens! Looking back, it seems like any ol' celebrity would slap their name onto a now-dated product with little remorse for how it would translate years later.

Ah, to be young and in love on a 90s television series. So much tension, so much betrayal, so many make-ups and too many break-ups.
TV Buzz If you haven't seen all 89 episodes of the best television series that has aired in my lifetime, just quit your day job and start watching now. I'm sure you can find all six seasons (1992-98) of the HBO show on Amazon for a reasonable price.
