14 Movies to Watch in 2014
With 'The Hunger Games: Catching Fire,' ''Frozen' and 'Her,' the past year closed out with some pretty stupendous cinema. But it's 2014 now! So out with the old and in with the new: Here are 14 movies to watch out for in 2014.

7 More ‘Sling Bling’ Ideas for Mariah Carey
After dislocating her shoulder while filming the music video for her new single, '#Beautiful,' Mariah Carey was left with her arm in a sling. But a diva like Mimi isn't going to walk around with her arm dangling in a canvas sack. Oh, no.
