March 13--Disney said Thursday it's making a sequel to its billion-dollar 2013 hit "Frozen." The working title is "More Cold Hard Cash, Please."

Details on the sequel are sketchy, but there's a rumor one song will have Elsa explaining why she only used one email account.

The American Egg Board is using Kevin Bacon in its latest ad campaign. Eggs need a new image after years of unfair association with unhealthy cholesterol and your brain on drugs.

A Harris Poll of more than 500 top executives at the behest of CareerBuilder.com found only 1 in 5 considers a business suit to be typical officewear, and they tend to favor black and blue. A lot of Christian Grey wannabes out there, apparently.
