NASA is celebrating the 50th anniversary of the first spacewalk today.

Ultimate Star Wars fans, take notice. Pretty soon you’ll be able to board a special Star Wars plane painted to look like R2-D2, perfect for taking flight — though not to a galaxy far, far away, unfortunately. You’ll need to talk to NASA about that. All Nippon Airways is launching the very special plane this fall in honor of the release of Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

But Queen Bey's latest effort is also kicking up some controversy, with one song referencing Tina Turner's abuse and another sampling audio from the Challenger explosion.

Talk about a dream job.

Sre you one of the people who believes the World will end on December 21st? If you are, are you still making Christmas plans ?

‘A Charlie Brown Christmas’ might be the best-known Peanuts television special, but the gang’s Halloween special also cemented its place in television history.
