It's hard to imagine that it has been ten years since Twilight first graced the big screen.

Whitney

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 10/16/2018 9:54 AM EST
If one were to compile a list of the greatest female singers of all time it would certainly include Aretha Franklin, Judy Garland, Barbra Streisand, and Mariah Carey.

Skyscraper

(Maureen Buccellato) 10/10/2018 2:33 PM EST
Dwayne Johnson (The Fate of The Furious) has certainly come a long way in his career.
