New Year's Eve

Have you got plans to ring in the New Year yet? If not, The Governor Hill Mansion in Augusta will be saying goodbye to 2016 and rocking in 2017 with the big "2017 Black Ties and Gala" sponsored by Charlie's Family of Dealerships, Townsquare Media, and Kennebec Savings Bank...

Tasha York is a wonderful person. That's a personal character reference. She's also a compassionate life-saving medical professional. I wouldn't have known that part if not for her amazing and successful efforts on New Years Eve at the Silver Street Tavern in Waterville.

New Years Day is almost here. It’s hard to believe another year has come to a close and Thursday, 2015 will begin.

This may not be a "New Couple Alert," but that doesn't mean you won't be a bit taken aback by the steamy smooch that Miley Cyrus and Ryan Seacrest shared on New Year's Eve.

Welcome, 2014. As we said goodbye to 2013, a whole mess of our favorite celebs were Instagramming photos of their big night out, tweeting messages about the past and the future, all the while enjoying the present.

Ariana Grande, easily the breakout pop singer of 2013, was 'Right There' for the West Coast feed of 'New Year's Rockin' Eve' last night, but not really.

Of course we were anticipating what Miley Cyrus would do for her performance as part of the annual 'New Year's Rockin' Eve.' Since her name occupied many a 2013 headline, it was only right for the singer to close out the year with a performance in the Big Apple. Perhaps most shocking was how tame her performance was.

Robin Thicke's 'Blurred Lines' was the biggest single of 2013 and was the singer's breakthrough song, thanks to its crazy catchy melody, sexy vibe and raunchy video. Thicke performed the song in Los Angeles and beamed into Ryan Seacrest's NYC-based 'New Year's Rockin' Eve' celebration.

Macklemore and Ryan Lewis acknowledged that they were an underground rap group when 2013 started. Now, they are one of the biggest acts in pop music. The pair performed on 'New Year's Rockin' Eve,' and before they took the stage in frigid NYC, they spoke to host Ryan Seacrest about scratching and clawing their way to the top.

What do you do on New Years Eve? Do you go out? Do you stay home? Are you usually working? New Years Eve is one of those nights I can pretty much remember what I did every year, at least the New Years Eve celebrations in my adult life.

The Coney Island Polar Bear Club's annual New Year's swim looks like a great time. People in costumes, swimming, having fun. We probably should've gone, but there was that whole hangover thing to deal with. Which makes us wonder, does jumping into the freezing Atlantic ocean cure a hangover? If so, we're totally there next year.

It seems that a massive undertaking like a New Year's Eve Special was a little more than independent, LA-based television station KDOC could handle. Really. It definitely was.

While many of today's brightest stars spent New Year's Eve 2013 performing live for all of their fans, others were busy partying and spending time with close friends.

Nicki Minaj rang in 2013 with a New Year's Eve performance at PURE Nightclub in Las Vegas, where she played some of her biggest hits for the partiers in Sin City.

Okay, hear us out on this. It just makes sense that Carly Rae Jepsen, who had arguably the biggest song of 2012, would close out the year by singing her hit 'Call Me Maybe' on New Year's Rockin' Eve, right?!

While Taylor Swift and Justin Bieber stole the spotlight when it came to high-profile New Year's Eve performances, Utah rockers Neon Trees did their part to ring in 2013 with a medley of three of their hits on 'New Year's Rockin' Eve' in Times Square.
