The king of YouTube informational videos CPGrey is back with an explanation of Groundhog Day. Will Punxsutawney Phil see his shadow on Feb. 2? Will we have six more weeks of winter, or will spring come early this year? We shall see.

I do know one thing — if your alarm clock awakes you with "I Got You, Babe" on Thursday, go back to sleep.

Mystery Solved! The Actual Date of Ice Cube's 'Good Day'

Remember when Ice Cube had a good day? And he didn't even have to use his A.K.

But exactly when, on what date, was this amazing time in the gangsta rapper's life?

• It was a clear and smogless day

Who Really Should've Won 'The Voice'?

Congratulations to Javier Colon on winning ("This is") The Voice last night.

Just my opinion, but I think it should've been Dia Frampton. She's had my vote ever since her creative performance of Kanye's Heartless.

What do you think — did the best singer win? Will you watch Season 2?
