Disney Takes One Step Forward, Two Steps Back

Disney's recent makeover of its newest princess, Merida of "Brave," appropriately caused an uproar among fans, feminism groups and concerned mothers. The sexualized version of young Merida, however, is just the latest in a long line of misguided decisions by Disney to vamp up their female characters in an effort to hawk products to young girls.

Celebrities are no strangers to interventions. However, it is not just drugs and alcohol they form addictions to. They develop plenty of other bad habits, from over tanning to serial dating. When you're paid an obscene amount of money for relatively little work, it can be easy to become accustom to excess. Being rich and famous, living in abundance can become the norm, but slow your roll, celebs, and learn to enjoy all that time and money you have on your hands in moderation. Some of Tinsel Town's royalty just don't know when to stop. For their sake, Moves Like Jäger is here to help, with My Top Five Celebrity Interventions That Need to Happen:

Jason Collins' Outing Breaks One Barrier But Shows There Are More

Jason Collins coming out as a gay man is significant. Not just because he is the first active professional athlete in one of the four major American sports—or male on any U.S. pro team sport—to do so, but also because unlike pop musicians such as Lance Bass, Ricky Martin and Adam Lambert or celebrities who lived relatively openly before coming out, such as newsman Anderson Cooper or actors Neil Patrick Harris and Zachary Quinto, Jason's coming out was legitimately a surprise.

You're Scaring Us, TV Land



Tuning into TV Land provides a dose of nostalgia, a step back into past. The retro network features a line-up of oldies but goodies, from "I Love Lucy" from the '50s to "Golden Girls" of the '80s to late '90s/early '00s series "Everybody Loves Raymond."

'90s Shows That Should Get Sequels

It was announced in November that Ben Savage and Danielle Fishel will be reprising their "Boy Meets World" roles for a sequel series 12 years after the original's finale, and it was recently reported that other former cast members may join their one-time comrades.

The move is akin to 90s' series "Beverly Hills, 90210" returning to the small screen in 2008. The show, which ran for 10 seasons between 1990 and 2000, was successfully brought back to TV eight years after its finale with "90210," a follow-up series featuring many original characters reprising their roles but focuses on a new crop of lovelorn and trouble-prone high-schoolers.

The TV couple of Cory and Topanga Matthews will be returning to living rooms; this time, instead of being students (the first season saw the gang as sixth graders, and by the series' end in 2000, the friends had all graduated college), the childhood sweethearts are settled into married life with teenagers of their own, and Cory has followed in the footsteps of his mentor, Mr. Feeny, becoming a teacher. Rumors, speculation and vague implications from former cast members (or, according to Internet standards, facts) have been circling that other former cast members, such as Rider Strong, Will Friedle and Mr. Feeny himself, William Daniels, might take part in the blast from the past as well.

With this update on an old childhood favorite, Moves Like Jäger makes a wishlist of other old TV friends it would be great to catch up with:

Why Wearing an 'I Voted' Sticker Makes You Feel Holier Than Thou

When one sports an “I Voted” sticker, it serves as a figurative and literal badge of honor. More than just those two words, it also says, “I did my civic duty,” “I am a responsible adult who contributes to society” and “I am politically active and abreast of current events.”

A normally modest person suddenly becomes awash in arrogance as evidenced by the innumerable obligatory self-portraits that inundate social media on Election Day.
