ABC; AKM-GSIToday marks the first day of Lent. How do we know that? Because we're nursing a monstrous Mardi Gras hangover.
While Lent symbolizes a whole bunch of stuff we're not entirely clear on, it also means that those of us who indulge a little too much in, well, everything, have a chance at a 40 day cooling-off period. Some like to use this period to swear off chocolate, sweets, fried food, or anything else that's terrible for you yet makes life worth living. Others try to be a little bit more virtuous by giving up a truly bad habit: swearing, over-texting, and the like. And, those truly insane folks deprive themselves of everyday conveniences that the rest of us come to rely on: the gym or, God forbid, Starbucks.
We're not actually giving up anything for Lent this year (we are saints here at E! Saints!), but that doesn't stop us from coming up with a few ideas. Specifically, ideas for our favorite celebrities. Since we spend all day tracking the whereabouts of A-listers, we've got an idea of what they're up to. And what they've been up to a little too much. Some of these deprivations will be easy-peasy, some will be true sacrifices, and others will just make us a little less annoyed.
But, each and every forfeiture will teach our favorite celebs a valuable life lesson. And, we hear that's what this Lent thing is about in the first place.
Taylor Swift: Dancing. Only true sacrifices reap true rewards.
Harry Styles: Ponytail holders. Can he harness his power without a man-bun?
Chrissy Teigen: Instagramming her food. It's the cardinal sin of Instagram—you don't get a pass just because you're a model.
Kanye West: Interviews. It's only 40 days, Ye.
Rihanna: Clogging the feed. It's a full-time job just scrolling past her 'grams to get to any other pictures.
Victoria Beckham: High heels. Thou will come undone, but thou shalt be a better person for it.
Justin Bieber: Hair dye. Your locks will thank you, bro.
North West: Designer clothes. Take that Baby Gap for a spin, we won't judge you...until Easter Sunday.
Amanda Seyfried: Dog pictures. No one knows how hard it is to stop taking snaps of your pet more than us, so we'll get through it together.
Reese Witherspoon: Yoga. You got an addiction, baby girl.
Ashton Kutcher: Hats. If that's too hard, then just cut out the Trucker, specifically.
Matthew McConaughey: Bongos. Maybe take up the tambourine?
Beyoncé: Selfies. Kim K. might get all the flack, but she's not the only one with a strong penchant for self-portraits.
Kristen Stewart: Swearing. Potty Mouth McGee is a girl after our own heart, and we could all stand for a few less F-bombs.
Kerry Washington: Wine. We're all in agreement that those aren't prop glasses on Scandal, right?
