I was feeling kind of HUMBUG, which by the way is a great word if you think about it. Maybe it's the lack of parking spaces or the woman who didn't give me a wave of acknowledgement when I let her cut me in line? But call it Christmas magic or whatever you want because for some inexplicable reason, my holiday always officially starts when I hear The Waitresses' song 'Christmas Wrapping.' 

Let's be honest, this song is DOPE! It's totally original with cheeky lyrics, it's funky, it's got a wicked bass line and that guitar riff is just mental! There's nothing like hearing it whilst shopping during the holidays. I was grooving out in the cosmetics department and Mall Santa was glaring at me like I'd lost the plot, but who cares. I'm officially in the Christmas spirit, and so should you. 

I can't decide if I love it or hate it. It's awfully FLUFFY. Seriously, that is one BIG dress. And since Nicole Richie is so petite, I would never in a million years have picked something that would diminish my height even more. Platforms are our friends ladies! The more I look at the picture, she's evoking a certain cake-topper of a wedding I attended in 1999. Even still, I have to admit that paired with her up-do, her meringue-inspired wedding gown designed by Marchesa makes her look like a princess.  Which was exactly what Nicole wanted, she told People Magazine who got the coveted wedding photo exclusively.

Amongst family and friends, at dad Lionel Richie's estate, Nicole married long time love and baby daddy, Joel Madden of Good Charlotte. Their daughter Harlow was the bridesmaid and son Sparrow was the ring-bearer. I love that! It's so beyond meaningful and cute. Okay, I change my mind, Nicole looks amazing because she looks really happy. 

Multiple news outlets are reporting that the tanned one, Ryan Reynolds and THE boobed one, Scarlett Johansson is the latest celebrity couple to bite the dust. This is shocking news considering just a few months ago, Scarjo was painting a picture of marital bliss to Glamour Magazine. A source said that the split is amicable. The couple issued the following statement:

Beehivers!

Fashion photographer Mario Testino is not only one of the best photographers in the world, but he was also the late Princess Diana's favorite. This is most likely why Prince William selected Testino to officially photograph his and Kate Middleton's engagement pictures.

I was watching the Amazing Race finale last night, and I heard Phil say, "First all-female team in 17 seasons to win..." and I thought to myself, "What?" Not about Nat and Kat winning (not to diminish their glory), but about AR being on for 17 seasons!!? Really? Am I getting old or are they airing like 10 seasons a year? I mean I do recall the cowboys not too long ago, and I wasn't sure if it was the hangover from Saturday that was hampering my hearing so I did what I usually do when a question arises, I Googled it and sure enough, 17 seasons indeed. 

While Glee creator Ryan Murphy was busy being cryptic and dodging the question, Gwyneth Paltrow confirmed to Access Hollywood that she will indeed be coming back to Glee. Gwynnie said: “I’m going to do one more, I signed up for two… so I’m excited!” 

And so are we, Gwyneth! If you haven't sussed it out by now, the Beehive has a love/hate relationship with Paltrow. Originally, we would have been pissed about this but after seeing her turn last month as nutjob substitute teacher, Holly Holiday, we say "YAYYYY!" The "Singing in the Rain" and "Umbrella" mash up is still one of my favorite performances on the show.

Beehivers,
