"Avatar: The Way of Water" is the winner of the four-day holiday box office -- a weekend impacted greatly by this weekend's winter storm. The sequel film raked in at least 90-million dollars from Friday through Monday. Studios dealt with numerous theater closures during what's normally one of the year's busiest movie-going weekends. The Hollywood Reporter says the Christmas weekend's total revenue could be down as much as 33-percent from last year. The animated "Puss in Boots: The Last Wish" brought in 20-million dollars over the four days to finish second.

A new survey finds that more than half of American adults go to the bathroom to be alone, not just because they need to go. The OnePoll survey found that 51-percent of adults in the U.S. go to sit on the toilet so they can have some peace and quiet. And it happens more often when there are more people in the house. Parents with kids living at home are three times more likely, 62-percent to 23-percent, to go to the bathroom to be alone than single people who don't have children.

The co-writer of Mariah Carey's hit song "All I Want For Christmas Is You" is challenging her story of when she wrote it. Carey claimed in a 2017 interview that she wrote the holiday classic "as a kid on [her] little Casio keyboard." Appearing on the Hot Takes & Deep Dives podcast, co-producer Walter Afanasieff said the pair wrote the song in the summertime while staying at a rental home together. Afanasieff went on to say Carey "doesn't understand music, she doesn't know chord changes and music theory or anything like that," as well as called her story a "tall tale." There's no word if Mariah has caught wind of his remarks.

Cher is sparking engagement rumors after posting a photo of a giant diamond ring on Christmas. The pop queen took to Twitter to show off the gift from her boyfriend rapper Alexander "AE" Edwards. It wasn't clear if it was an engagement ring, but fans quickly jumped into the replies to offer congratulatory messages. She hasn't tied the knot since the 70s when she was married to Gregg Allman. By the way, Cher is 76, her boyfriend is 36.

New and rare evidence indicates that millions of year ago, dinosaurs snacked on mammals. Hans Larsson -- a professor of biology at McGill University's Redpath Museum in Montreal -- spotted the fossilized foot of an ancient mammal in the preserved guts of a Microraptor. The Microraptor was a small feathered dinosaur measuring about three feet long and the rodent it ate before its death was around the size of a mouse. His research says this is only the 21st known instance of a fossilized dinosaur with its last meal preserved, and its only one of two where a mammal was on the menu.
