Review: Princesses turn ice magical

PORTLAND – In Disney films, the princesses wow audiences by dancing, leaping, running and sometimes flying on a magic carpet.

On Monday’s episode of ABC’s “The Bachelor,” Maine native Ashley Hebert participated in the dating equivalent of sudden death overtime.

And she won.

Hebert, who’s from Madawaska, was picked at random to go on one of the show’s dreaded two-on-one dates, with bachelor Brad Womack and fellow contestant Ashley Spivey.
