• Jimmy Fallon Has Been Named 'EW' 2014 Entertainer of the Year

    A few days after we all flip our calendars to December, it begins: the year-end best and worst of everything lists that pop up in nearly every major publication. It only makes sense that "Entertainment Weekly" would be leading the pack with its selections of the biggest hits and most epic fails of the year. Its selection for the 2014 Entertainer of the Year is Jimmy Fallon, and really, can anyone even begin to offer up a valid argument against "EW's" selection? Fallon took over "The Tonight Show's" hosting duties from Jay Leno just as the Sochi Olympics were wrapping up, and he kind of did the unthinkable. Fallon's ratings were really high for his first few nights at the helm of "The Tonight Show," and then they got better.

  • Lindsey Vonn Prepares to Return to Competition After Knee Injury Knocked Her Out of Sochi Olympic Games

Instead, back-to-back injuries last November and December made it impossible for Vonn to compete in those Sochi games and working as a correspondent for NBC was hardly the same experience. Being the most successful skier in U.S. history means Vonn is not going to be quick to leave the sport she has dominated. Fifty-nine World Cup races and two Olympic medals are not enough for the decorated star, and she has spent this entire year slowly working on her comeback.
