"Liza is a survivor," says a longtime friend of the legendary singer, 69. "She is a champ. She has struggled with addiction and gone through [experiences] that would kill an elephant. She is incredibly brave." The Cabaret star has sought treatment for substance abuse in the past. "It's no secret she has dealt with this for years," her spokesperson Scott Gorenstein tells People. "And when she felt the need to seek help again, she did." Once she is out...

This year's Best Original Song Oscar race hasn't really achieved much lift-off. Of course, the contenders have been obvious. "Lost Stars" from "Begin Again" may well be the best of them, though "Everything is Awesome" from "The Lego Movie" certainly has its punch-drunk fans. Elsewhere, though, there are a few popular artists in the mix. John Legend and Common put together a hell of a track for "Selma" called "Glory." Lana Del Rey is back in the mix with the title track from "Big Eyes." Coldplay even wants to, uh, play, with "Miracles" from "Unbroken." The Academy announced the list of 79 eligible contenders Friday afternoon, and many of them you've seen outlined clearly in our dedicated Contenders section for the category all season. Let's take a closer look… Animated players "The Book of Life" and "The Boxtrolls" each have a pair of ditties and "Big Hero 6" has one as well.
