11 Fun Things to Look Forward to in 2017 ...

Seriously, I've been excited about this since those stills were released last year... Emma Watson as Belle? Josh Gad as LeFou? I'm in... in the theater on March 17, with my squad, my popcorn, my soda, my candy, and my feels.

I've missed Lorde, and Katy Perry, and Fergie, and Shania Twain, and Iggy Azalea... and all of the other kick-ass women in music who plan to drop an album in 2017. Who else just can't wait?

Ha! Not that kind of Eclipse! On August 21, most of the southern States will be dark for a few minutes during the day due to a super-cool total solar eclipse, the first once since 1918. For all the science, visit eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov and then maybe re-read the Twilight books, because why not?

It's about time this she-ro got her own mega-budget, special effects blockbuster, and it'll finally be here this June. How many littles do you think will dress as Wonder Woman this Halloween? ALL OF THEM. Sorry, Elsa.

Finally! We get Season 2 of Stranger Things (OMG, can't WAIT!), Season 7 of GoT, and WAIT! WHAT?! Season 9 of Curb Your Enthusiasm.

Okay, so Beauty and the Beast and Wonder Woman both def deserved their own entries, but there are loads of other sequels and remakes on their way in 2017, including another Pirates of the Caribbean, Thor, Jumanji, and X-Men movie. Oh, yeah... and no biggie, just another Star Wars film, too, right around Christmas. Swoon!

If you thought 2016 was a little weird, with some politics and odd bedfellows and whatnot, just wait: this year, Adele and Marshall Mathers are releasing some music, TOGETHER. I am so, so excited!

Oh my gosh, this looks so cool! It's a tablet-looking game system that allows you to play games on your Switch and on your TV at the same time...you can "switch" back and forth... and it's due out in March.

No worries, I'm not about to get political, but can I just say how thrilled I am that Pixar's next movie, due out this fall, features an all-Latino cast? Hola, Gael García Bernal and Benjamin Bratt (in animated form, of course).

My cell service rarely hit 4G, and in 2017, some of us will already start to see 5G connectivity. Zoom zoom your data, right? Why didn't they have this when I was trying to catch Pokemon this past summer?!

It doesn't seem possible, but this year is the 20th anniversary of Princess Di's passing, and to mark her legacy and remember her with love, Kensington Palace will be exhibiting some of her celebrated, trend-setting wardrobe this spring. Find more info here hrp.org.uk

So are you geeked about 2017 now? What other movies, music, and more are you looking forward to this year?
