Fans of "Orange Is the New Black" are counting down the hours until the second season of the wildly-popular women's prison "dramedy" is released Friday on streaming video giant Netflix.

The entire 13-episode series will go online nearly a year after the finale of the first season, which won widespread praise for its diverse cast and complex, strong female characters.

Austin Mahone is over the Justin Bieber comparisons.

Like Bieber, Mahone got his start on YouTube and catapulted to teen heartthrob status with his female-centric pop sound and dance moves.

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.

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.

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.
