2012: Record Year for Movie Sales
Americans apparently went to theaters in droves this past year, with nearly $11 billion in ticket sales. And that's pretty good, analysts say, in this age of video streaming on computer tablets and large screen HD televisions. One analyst thinks 2013 may be even better. Several high-profile sequels are set to hit theaters, including Thor, Ironman, Superman, Star Trek and Hunger Games films. 

"Party Animals" Ring in New Year
It's not your average New Year's Eve party. One in Ohio is going to the dogs, literally. Party Animals live it up every year at the Club K-9 Doggy Day Care. It's a day care that hosts a New Year's Eve party for the pooches, while their owners go out and celebrate on their own. The doggy day care even provides web cams for the owners to check in. And the party animals even get their own non-alcoholic brew to toast with.The party wouldn't be complete without all of their pictures posted on Facebook. About 40 dogs barked in the new year this year.

Drag Queen Drop
Forget the New Year's Eve ball drop--why not have a drag queen drop? That's what thousands of people in Key West, Florida did to welcome in  2013 Monday night-- with the drop of a  renowned female impersonator perched in a super-sized red high heel. The annual drag queen drop is an offbeat warm-weather take-off on the  traditional New Year's Eve ball drop in New York's Times Square.

Goodbye, Gangnam Style
Whether you love it or hate it, you know it as the hit heard round the world this year-- Gangnam Style. But now, its Korean creator, Psy, says it's time for Gangnam Style to go. Psy told MTV that he was ending his smash hit during a final New Year's Eve performance Monday night, that also happened to be his birthday. The star says the song became so popular he's worried about its shelf life, so he's working on another hit we may hear this year. Gangnam Style has become the most watched video on the internet, racking up more than a billion views.
