Frozen came out on November 27, 2013. But every single parent around the country will confirm that this Disney blockbuster truly left its mark over the past 12 months. And he or she will likely be doing so while “Let It Go” is blaring from their car stereo for the 37th time that day. Indeed, due to the film’s cultural impact; its wide reach; its infiltration into millions of homes; and, of course, its soundtrack, Frozen’s main protagonist, Princess Elsa of Arendelle, is THG’s Celebrity of the Year #6 . Before delving into the myriad ways in which Elsa has grown into a global icon, let’s take a look at Frozen by the numbers: It grossed $400 million in the U.S. and Canada. It grossed $1.3 billion around the world. It became the highest-grossing animated movie of all-time. It won two Academy Awards. It won two Critics Choice Awards. But numbers can only explain so much. Frozen also inspired an entire storyline for Once Upon a Time Season 4 . It led to a surge in “Elsa” as a baby name. It enabled folks such as Anna Faith Carlson to make a living. And then, of course, there were the “Let It Go” covers, as Marines even got in on the catchy act: Marines Sing “Let It Go” And so did Pearl Jam: Pearl Jam Covers Let It Go And let’s not forget about Kristen Wiig and Ellen DeGeneres: Kristen Wiig and Ellen DeGeneres Sing “Let It Go” Heck, even if this dog can’t get enough of Elsa: Dog Wakes Up, Sings “Let It Go” As you might expect, a Frozen sequel is in the works, meaning Elsa may make this countdown again in 2015 or 2016. Until then, parents, don’t fight it. Don’t ignore it. Just embrace the Frozen phenomenon and make like the father in the following video. Let it go?

The amazing video below went viral on its own, but when remixed to the melodious sounds of Lil Jon and DJ Snake’s hit single/meme “Turn Down For What”?! Exactly. Turn Down For What just makes everything better. Turn Down For What Fail Some videos need a soundtrack. Pretty much all do, really. Watching that dude looking all hard only to go down hard? Priceless even with no sound. Ditto the bikini-clad girl in the middle blissfully enjoying this pleasure cruise in a state of utter cluelessness before getting thrown. Only the girl on the right seems to see the tidal wave coming, but even she is no match for the sheer force of the water … and/or the captain’s ineptitude. Fortunately, all are okay, so we can enjoy watching this on endless loop, and even more fortunately, someone thought it would be a great mix for the song. They thought right.

It’s been a big year for Ariana Grande. She scored multiple hit singles and perhaps even more impressively, she was the subject of more diva rumors than any artist since Mariah Carey. To cap things, off rumor has it that Ariana will be getting engaged on Christmas , as boyfriend Big Sean is reportedly planning to pop the question. 2014 wasn’t quite as huge for her older brother Frankie Grande , but man is he a character, and he made a respectable showing on season 16 of Big Brother. Of course, all of those achievements immediately pale in comparison to a video Ari & Frank posted to YouTube last year. Watch it below and see why: Ariana and Frankie Grande: Titmas Carols Somehow, Jingle Tits, The Tit Days of Christmas, and Rudolph the Tit-Nosed Reindeer didn’t become instant holiday classics, but they’re amusing, nonetheless. Seriously, even if stories about Ariana being carried like a baby have turned you off of the pint-sized pop princess, it’s pretty much impossible not to laugh. When she busts out her operatic stage voice to croon, “Baby, it’s tits outside”? Gold. So enjoy this rare, candid glimpse of Ariana and Frankie at their goofiest. And, as Frankie says, be sure to have yourself a titty topless Tuesday… or something like that. Here’s hoping your season is filled with joyous Christmas mammaries. Okay, we’ll stop. 29 Hottest Ariana Grande Photos 1. Hot Ariana Grande Ariana Grande is such a young hottie. Just don’t believe those nude pics floating around. Not really her.
Rosie O’Donnell thinks Katie Couric’s interview with troubled actor Stephen Collins was an epic fail, and she’s letting them both hear about it on her blog. Collins says he’s not a pedophile , and maybe he’s not, but it’s semantics to Rosie, who says he ruined people’s young lives and didn’t really take responsibility. In Couric’s interview, Stephen admitted molesting underage girls , but his mea culpa didn’t go far enough for O’Donnell. Ditto Katie’s questioning of him. Rosie blogged about the interview, saying, “I was certain [Katie] was gonna do 2 him what she did 2 Sarah Palin,” but it didn’t turn out that way. At all. “Hit him with his truth between the eyes … expose him for who he was …’what newspapers do u read Sarah? She saved us all then … this time she didn’t.” That pales in comparison, though, to Collins himself. Rosie writes matter-of-factly that the actor “took the hand of 10 year old girl and used it to jerk himself off.” Collins only admits taking the girl’s hand and placing it on his penis, and that he knew immediately this was a mistake, but the woman claims he ejaculated. Rosie unloads on him for not taking more blame, stating, “ummmm – after u came on the kids hand – u mean? stephen … right? u are not equals.” “She was an innocent child … a baby girl … u have a daughter for gods sake … were u able to resist the urge to touch her? how noble … congrats.” “in case u wonder what ur man sized penis – ur abuse of power ur lack of impulse control did to that kid … i will tell u a bit about me … sex is not fun.” “not now … not ever … it is married to a lingering terror … joy evaporated.” Collins admits he’s a flawed person , but says his past is his past and he’s come along way dealing it. To Rosie, herself an abuse survivor, that doesn’t cut it. O’Donnell recounts the impact sexual abuse caused her, “My body became my enemy … I would not love it … take care of it … treat it well … it betrayed me.” She then likens him to Bill Cosby for the coup de grace: “ur casual lack of accountability for her and for me has wondered us once again … u – Stephen Collins … u u r an archetype … as is Bill Cosby … pedophile/rapist.” “how dare i … how dare i not.” 15 Celebrity Scandals That Rocked 2014 1.
