What’s hot and what’s not in 2015

2014 is over! And good riddance because it seemed to drag on longer than the last “Hobbit” movie.

So consciously uncouple yourself from last year’s obsessions, throw them into Pharrell’s hat and send them packing to North Korea. For better or worse, the year ahead brings new faces to network late-night (such as Colbert) and old faces back in the spotlight (the return of A-Rod).

And while we might not get another year ruled by Beyoncé, here’s hoping Adele returns with some magic in 2015.
