Nobody loves New Year's Eve like celebrities -- because unlike you, stars like 50 Cent, Pete Wentz and the Black Eyed Peas get paid a ton of cash to show up and party.
According to sources at NewYearsEve.com, Fergie Ferg and the rest of the Peas will be kissing some serious green come midnight -- taking in more than $700,000 to show up and perform at LAX at the Luxor. As for the rest...
50 Cent -- $100,000 for a party at Pure at Caesars Palace. LMFAO -- $75,000 to perform at a place called Silk in Temecula Pete Wentz -- $30,000 to hang at Jet Nightclub in Vegas Nik Richie (the guy from TheDirty.com) -- $20,000 to appear at Pure in Vegas
The cheapest of the group: Brody Jenner, who's pulling in a measly $10K to party at the Hotel Ganesvoort in Miami.
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie went shopping at a street cart in NY City a few days ago -- proving that even the ultra-rich can't pass up a good deal ... especially when no one is looking.
Billy Ray Cyrus gave the U.S. troops in Afghanistan an unexpected treat this week -- breaking out an impromptu rendition of "Silent Night" during a tour of a military operations center in Kabul.
It all went down after Cyrus learned the soldiers in the "war room" were unable to attend his stage performance scheduled for later in the trip. Someone asked Billy Ray to sing a little Christmas carol for the group -- and without hesitation, dude obliged.
The 1 1/2 pound baby born to mass-producer Michelle Duggar will have family around her for Christmas, thanks to a family that has opened its home.
Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar - along with their brood -- would have had to travel 200 miles to see 2-week old Josie for XMAS. But a sympathetic family that lives close to the hospital has opened its home and allowed the entire Duggar family -- now 19 kids strong -- to move in so they can all visit baby Josie.
Tay Zonday -- the dude behind that "Chocolate Rain" song -- is making his triumphant return to relevance .... singing the one song perfect for his deceptively deep voice ... "You're a Mean One Mr. Grinch."
It's waaaayyy better than a three decker sauerkraut and toadstool sandwich with arsenic sauce.
The only thing better than having an official Red Ryder carbine-action 200-shot range model air rifle with a compass in the shock and this thing which tells time: A Chippendales dancer under your tree.
Billy Jeffrey, who drops trou nightly at the Rio in Vegas, won a two night stay in the infamous home from "A Christmas Story" by dropping $4,200 in a charity auction -- and promptly started stripping inside the Cleveland pad.
Sure beats walking around in Ralphie's bunny jammies.
Dan Aykroyd, Sean Penn and Paul Mitchell owner/toy soldier John Paul Dejoria raised a shooter of tequila together during Dejoria'sholiday party over the weekend in Malibu.
La Toya Jackson is in the holiday spirit ... to bash Chris Brown and Tiger Woods.
The Jackson sister was out buying holiday gifts at Target (pronounced Tar-jay) and when she came across Chris Brown's album, she picked up Rihanna's instead out of spite.
The next item on her list? A golf club to give to Tiger's wife.
Note to La Toya Jackson: Buying nighties for the kids is a great Christmas gift, but we're not talking nighties from Frederick's of Hollywood. Then again, they're Michael Jackson's kids.
Merry Christmas to all ... and to all a nightie night!
UPDATE: La Toya's rep called. Ms. Jackson didn't say what she meant. L.J. was at Frederick's buying a sexy Santa costume to wear at a toy giveaway for children and families affected with AIDS/HIV.
The Jackson family didn't spend Thanksgiving eating stuffing -- instead MJ's kids spent the holiday stuffing a basketball into a hoop in a $25,000-per-night super suite at the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas.
A member of the fam posted footage of the night on YouTube, showing Prince playing around with Randy and Jermaine Jackson's kids in the biggest hotel suite we've ever seen -- complete with its own basketball court.
As Jehovah's Witnesses, the Jackson family doesn't celebrate Thanksgiving in the traditional sense. Instead, we're told the Jacksons had a big family dinner a few days before the holiday.
