Christina Milian continues her streak of rom-coms at Netflix with the upcoming holiday movie “Meet Me Next Christmas.”

Milian will executive produce and star in “Meet Me Next Christmas,” playing Layla, who, in pursuit of a fairytale romance with the man of her dreams, must race through New York City to get her hands on the hottest ticket in town: the sold out Pentatonix Christmas Eve Concert.
The film also stars Devale Ellis, Kofi Siriboe and Kalen Allen, alongside the Grammy-winning a capella group Pentatonix.
Directed by Rusty Cundieff, “Meet Me Next Christmas” is written by Molly Haldeman and Camilla Rubis. Mark Roberts is producing the project, while Simon Lythgoe and Matt Code executive produce alongside Milian.

Gold Rush fans are used to miners going to great lengths to strike it rich, but in Discovery’s latest spin-off show, White Water, “Dakota Fred” Hurt and his son Dustin are headed deep beneath the water’s surface.
In the new reality series, which premieres in January, the father son duo return to McKinley Creek, Alaska, where they’ve enlisted a team of intrepid divers, mountaineers and bush mechanics to search for gold deep in one of Alaska’s wildest creeks.
The location, which only recently became available, is surrounded by white water rapids, forcing the guys to dive into raging torrents.

If you’re planning on heading to Disneyland soon, you’re in for more than just enchanting rides and charming characters. The theme park just added something even more enticing: mini corn dog nachos.
From now until the end of September, customers can enjoy a plate full of happiness while walking through the resort when they stop by the White Water Snacks at the Grand Californian Hotel. But we might advise 30 minutes rest between eating and any activity as these nachos aren’t messing around.

White water rafting is supposed to be a lot of fun. It’s challenging, but that’s part of the fun. If everyone could do it then it wouldn’t be as much fun because the rivers would be more choked with people than they already are every summer. What’s vital for white water rafting though is that you know what you’re doing, or you have a guide. There’s no way you want to risk going down the rapids without having a clue as to how to steer, how to veer away from rocks, and what to do if your raft flips over,

True Detective is over for another year, and though this season certainly proved divisive (most will agree it wasn’t a patch on Season 1), it still delivered its fair share of compelling television, if lacking the nuance of last year’s effort.
Above all else, it showed that the anthology format fits the show well, and much like Season 1, served up a ton of moments peculiar, disturbing, hilarious and flat-out gross. Of course, why put a cop show on HBO if it’s not going to get down and dirty?
If some complained that Season 2 felt too much like a generic police procedural, what kept it afloat aside from the solid performances was that pervasive feeling of weirdness, from odd character tics to out-of-nowhere deaths, and more genital mutilation than anyone really needs to see.
Without any further ado, here are 25 Wtf moments from True Detective Season 2…
