If there’s one thing Disney has been associated with since “Snow White” first hit theaters in 1937, it’s that True Love’s Kiss is the only way of breaking a curse. And as we all know, True Love’s Kiss can only be between a prince and a princess… Right?

Except as both the mega-hit “Frozen,” and the now-in-theaters “Maleficent” prove, princes may now be superfluous to the whole equation.

Spoilers for both movies past this point.

In case you haven’t been forced to watch “Frozen” thirty times in a row like every other human being on planet Earth, at the end of the movie the heroine Anna is turned into solid ice because she doesn’t get True Love’s Kiss in time. The man she thought was her true love, Hans, turns out to be evil — and she sacrifices her life to save the life of her sister, Elsa.

Elsa, heartbroken, hugs her sister, cries — and unfreezes Anna’s frozen heart, breaking the curse with true love’s, er, hug.

At the time, way back in the olden days of November, the idea of two princesses saving each other in a Disney movie was pretty revolutionary. So revolutionary, that the studio went and changed things up again.

In “Maleficent,” the titular anti-hero has formed a bond with the young Aurora (better known as Sleeping Beauty), basically being her mother throughout the young princess’ growing up years in exile. In fact, they bond so much that Maleficent tries to take back the curse she placed ...

A snippet of what is purported to be a new Kanye West track, titled “Black Bruce Wayne,” made its way to the Web Friday (May 30), leading fans to wonder: Could this be a peek at Yeezus 2?

There are a lot of rumors floating around the Web with regard to the snippet — that it features 2 Chainz, that someone paid $500 for the leak — but as we seasoned Web denizens know, rumors are rumors.

While we wait for Kanye to react to the leak while on his honeymoon — it probably won’t be long now — can we all just appreciate the copious amount of French Ye drops in this track?

Oh la la!

Selena Gomez is feeling a bit inspired after her recent trip to Nepal.

Selena traveled on behalf of UNICEF, where she’s a Global Ambassador, to raise awareness for children in need.

“This visit to Nepal was extraordinarily powerful — at times, devastating and heartbreaking, but also incredibly inspiring,” she said in a statement. “At first when you witness children living in extreme poverty you wonder how it is possible that they can be deprived of their basic human needs and rights. Then you talk to these children and you see hope, promise and a bright future. This generation of children believes they can make a difference, and they take action.”

In a video clip from her experience, Selena, who called the trip an “eye-opener” is seen dancing, playing and giving out lots of hugs to the children at Satbariya Rapti Secondary School.

“The children of Nepal have taught me that with a lot of passion, optimism and hard work, anything is possible. That’s the message I would like to convey to young people across the world: Believe in your dreams and pursue them.”

Selena had recently told Selenators that she couldn’t wait to tell them where she has been, and she finally shared some photos of her journey on Instagram, posting some moving moments with the children of Nepal.

Seth MacFarlane’s voice is as ubiquitous as Siri’s at this point, but those who skipped the 2013 Academy Awards probably haven’t seen a whole lot of the man himself. This all changes on Friday (May 30), when MacFarlane — who let the bear do most of the grunt work in 2013′s “Ted” — tries his hand at the leading man role in “A Million Ways To Die In The West.”

Of course — MacFarlane being MacFarlane — the comedy-western still features a healthy amount of body humor, pop culture references, and jokes generally meant for 14-year-old boys. But will MacFarlane’s big screen “debut” live up to his voice work from “Ted” and “Family Guy”? The critics aren’t so sure. Read on for our review round-up.

The Unfair Comparison
“The obvious comparison here is to Mel Brooks’ ‘Blazing Saddles,’ which is still the comic Western. It’s not a fair comparison, though. Not only is that a revered classic, but it also had a wickedly subversive social conscious. The same cannot be said for ‘A Million Ways to Die in the West.’ But it is funny in it own right, pilgrim — especially for those who already consider themselves fans of MacFarlane’s humor.” — Mike Scott, The Times-Picayune

The Scene-Stealer
“The filmmaker is lucky to have such a swell cast, one game for the various humiliations visited upon them to get those laughs. Led by Oscar-winning actress Charlize Theron, excellent even in the worst circumstances (see 2008′s ‘Hancock’ for that), her pistol-packing Anna pretty much saves ...

LeVar Burton certainly knows a lot about doubling. Not only has he raised double the goal for his “Reading Rainbow” Kickstarter, he’s also in a very informative video explaining how double rainbows are made manifest.

While the rest of us are more likely to stand, agog, exclaiming, “Double rainbow all the way across the sky!” when we see a ‘bow-times-two, the “Reading Rainbow” host knows what’s up. (Pun intended).

Burton was a special guest on YouTube series “SciShow” this week, where he gave a very detailed breakdown on what makes some rainbows see double.

The appearance comes on the heels of Burton and Co. surpassing their $1 million Kickstarter goal, launched to bring “Reading Rainbow” to the Web and schools around the country.

Currently, the team has raised more than $2 million. Yup, it’s not just butterflies in the sky that are going twice as high.

We all know Beyoncé is fierce, Sasha Fierce if you’re nasty. But just how much of a beast is she? According to this hilarious “Godzilla” mash-up, the beast-iest. Even Madonna and Katy Perry seem to think so.
