Tea Leoni Doesn’t Love David Duchovny’s Singing Voice

“I’m really excited honestly for this Christmas because all of us crazy Pantaleonis are getting together. All together there’s something like 40 of us and there’s a lot of singing. I have a lot of musical cousins. David will not be singing. We just encourage David to clap along.”

Willow Smith needed something to whip back ‘n’ forth at LA Live’s Christmas Tree Lighting. I think the candy cane braids did the trick.

“My family always does a banana with your name on it in your stocking. You carve [the name] in really lightly with a pencil, and a couple hours later it’s nice and black. It sounds so gross but I promise it’s really cute! I think it was supposed to be a healthy thing to eat on Christmas morning before you start to eat all the goodies and sweets and all those things.”

Christina Hendricks on her family’s Christmas tradition. Yum! The “Christmas banana” sounds both entertaining and delicious. [People] Keep reading »

The Christmas Tree Of Our Nightmares

When I was little I used to go swimming in a freshwater lake near my parents’ house. Until one day I waded in and saw a dull white eel swimming near the perimeter of the shoreline and was traumatized. I refused to ever go in the lake again. So you can imagine how absolutely thrilled I was to see artist Kazuhiko Minawa’s eel-powered Christmas tree. Says Minawa, “If we could gather up all the electric eels from around the world, we would be able to light up an unimaginably large Christmas tree.” Sure, I’ll get right on that.

Help! He’s Terrible At Buying Me Gifts

My husband cannot shop. He’s awful at buying gifts. He tries really hard, but it’s just not his thing. One year, I got socks. Then there were the years where I got electronic gifts—fun for him, but not for me (and no woman really wants a clothes steamer as her big Christmas gift, no matter how useful it is). Once I got a fishing pole. He’s tried to buy jewelry, but I never like it. Keep reading »

LeAnn Rimes Can’t Wait To Deck The Halls With Eddie Cibrian’s Kids

“For Christmas, we will be at home at our house with all the family coming to us. He has been introducing me to the kid tradition. I’ve never had kids running around on Christmas morning. I’m one of those people that wakes up on Christmas at 5:30 — I’ll probably be up before them! I usually am up, getting coffee ready, breakfast ready. It’s fun to have kids around — it’s completely different.”
