For the Calder family, the "Frozen" frenzy began when the Disney movie came out in late 2013 and they took their 7-year-old daughter Caroline to see it in the theater.

Caroline then saw it again, with a grandparent. Then with the other set of grandparents. Then came the Disney cruise to the Caribbean with the "Frozen" sing-along, the purchase of "Frozen"-themed pajamas — instead of "Frozen" dolls, which were sold out — and waiting in line at a Disney store to obtain a raffle ticket for a chance to purchase a "Frozen" dress.

The Beastie Boys have won $1.7 million in a copyright violation case against the maker of Monster Energy drink.

Thursday's ruling ends a case in which the two surviving members of the band testified about their staunch opposition to the use of their music in commercial endorsements.

Italian nun Suor Cristina said she was putting her trust in God as she prepares for the final of a television talent show after winning over audiences with her soulful singing.

"I live in the moment, I leave the future in the hands of providence," the 25-year-old told reporters Wednesday on the eve of the final of The Voice of Italy.

Drawings and writings by famed Beatle John Lennon flew off a New York auction block Wednesday, with some fetching four to five times their estimated worth.

Sotheby's -- which held the sale -- had described the often very simple ink sketches and pieces of prose as "the most extensive collection of John Lennon's original artwork, autograph manuscripts and corrected typescripts ever to come to auction."

He claims to have saved hundreds of thousands of marriages. But John Gray, author of "Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus," is worried by where relationships are going -- notably online. 

Free Internet porn is "like taking heroin," while online cheating websites can also lead to sex addiction, Gray said.

Country star Miranda Lambert describes her fifth album "Platinum" as transitional: She wanted to show the maturity of an award-winning artist who has turned 30 and settled into marriage.

But don't worry, she's still the wildest risk-taking Nashville singer roaring through the back roads. She frontloads the new 16-song collection with a saucily slurred lyric about the power of bleach jobs ("What doesn't kill you only makes you blonder" she cracks in "Platinum") and another ("Little Red Wagon") that rips a would-be Romeo with a string of putdowns delivered with punkish glee.

The mother of actress Lindsay Lohan won't go to jail for speeding and driving drunk on a New York highway.

A judge ordered Dina Lohan on Tuesday to pay over $3,000 in fines and fees. She'll also perform 100 hours of community service and participate in an anti-drunken driving program.

Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel and "Tonight Show" host Jimmy Fallon have made a pact to bring the show to the Windy City — with one condition.

During Emanuel's appearance Tuesday on NBC's "Tonight Show," Fallon agreed to bring his production to Chicago for a few shows if Chicago Public School students read 2.4 million books this summer. That would mean the school system's more than 400,000 students would have to read six books each.

I wasn’t exactly looking forward to Maleficent. Recent re-tellings and re-imaginings of classic stories and fairytales like Snow White and the Huntsman and Alice in Wonderland have left me quite cold, so I just wasn’t expecting much. I’m sad to say that my apprehensions were validated; excluding Angelina Jolie’s captivating performance, this new spin on the classic Sleeping Beauty tale does absolutely nothing to enhance the story, and actually detracts from it. The film is essentially a giant, expensive excuse to cast Jolie in the iconic role, and while that does pay some dividends, a good movie it is not.

Movie star Brad Pitt is visiting China with his partner, actress Angelina Jolie, effectively ending an unspoken ban after he angered communist authorities by appearing in the 1997 film "Seven Years in Tibet".

Jolie was in Shanghai on Tuesday to promote her latest film "Maleficent", a modern retelling of the life of Sleeping Beauty's arch-nemesis, along with three of their children, but Pitt seemed intent on keeping a low profile.
