TURKEY TRAVEL TROUBLES

One of those storms is predicted to hit the central U.S. -- from Colorado to Michigan -- early next week and bring heavy rain and snow. There's even talk of blizzard conditions in some regions. Will you see snow? Read on.

COLD(NOT)PLAY(ING)

Fans of Coldplay won't be hearing them in person any time soon. Frontman Chris Martin says the band won’t go on tour to promote their new album because of environmental concerns. He says they'll hold off on setting new tour dates until they figure out how to reduce their carbon emissions and create concerts that are beneficial to the environment. Musicians including Adele, Pearl Jam and Jack Johnson have made a similar move. Lots of reaction. Read on.

KACEY SHINES

CMA Female Vocalist of the Year Kacey Musgraves is definitely having a well-deserved moment. In addition to winning the prestigious award last week, the singer/songwriter's upcoming Christmas special on Amazon Prime will be released next week. Musgraves appeared on Jimmy Fallon's show last night to promote the special and her new song "Glittery" in front of a live studio audience for the first time. Check it out, here. As if that's not enough, she also performs “All Is Found,” from the upcoming film "Frozen 2" during the film's closing credits. In case you haven't heard (like if you've been living under a rock), "Frozen 2" opens Friday.

First teens, then tweens, and now pre-tweens??? Pre-tween mood swings? Yes, it's a thing. It's called adrenarche and it's actually a surge in hormones that happens before puberty. This surge can happen between the ages of six and eight and can cause heightened emotions and a change in behavior. Read on for more.
