Taylor Swift is still single and ready to mingle.
Maybe not by choice, but that’s neither her nor there.
Since being dumped in a 27-second phone call by Joe Jonas last year, she has been off the social radar.
And because her taste in men seems to be lacking a bit, maybe someone else she pick who she dates next.
It should be a boy who is very different than the bushy-eye browed, pink-shirt sporting, pretty, purity-obsessed King Jonas.
There is no accounting for taste.
My comments will no doubt incur the wrath of the insanely loyal tween set.
Sure, I loved Duran Duran when I was that age, but I didn’t turn into a hysterical, sobbing mess whenever their name was mentioned.
For some reason they are the “it” boys of the moment.
As for the purity rings…
Really?
I’m sorry, but I tend to think that teen boys would not turn down sex when faced with the option, no matter how strong their convictions may be.
But maybe that’s just me.
Enough about her ex and his brothers.
The first prerequisite for Taylor’s new beau is easy — no Disney stars (past or present) need apply.
Except maybe Justin Timberlake, who is an exception to the rule.
This means no Zac Efrons, David Henries, Jason Dolleys or Cody Linleys.
I have no idea who the latter four boys are — thanks “google.”
She needs a bad boy.
Not Colin Farrell naughty.
Or Shia LaBeouf.
Bad doesn’t have to equal trouble.
He doesn’t have to be famous just for misbehaving — although one or two brushes with the law won’t be held against him, necessarily.
As long as we’re talking misdemeanors and not felonies.
Michael Phelps could apply, but not Steve O.
It’s all about moderation.
She should steer clear of self-proclaimed saints.
No fun.
After narrowing down the teen heartthrob’s, I think I’ve found one that fits the bill.
“Twilight” cutie Taylor Lautner.
He’s not a bonafide baddie, but he has that twinkle in his eye that looks a little mischievous.
And they would never forget one another’s names, which can be a plus in their hectic lives.
After picking Taylor L., I was dismayed to watch an entertainment show on Monday and discovered that he is dating Disney darling Selena Gomez, of “Wizards of Waverly Place” fame.
She also dated a Jonas.
Nick.
Supposed, once upon a time, Selena stole the afro-sporting-Jonas from Miley.
The other Disney diva.
Ah, young love.
I guess it’s back to the drawing board for Swift’s new stud.
I’ll be accepting apps all week.
You’re welcome, Taylor.
