Video rental stores such as Blockbuster are continuing to close their doors at the moment.

The world is shocked by news that Amanda Berry, Michelle Knight and Georgina DeJesus have been found alive in Cleveland, Ohio after 11 years of being missing.

On TV, people are watching popular shows such as "Mad Men", "Sons of Anarchy", "White Collar", and "American Horror Story".
