Auld k.d. Lang Syne
One of the most gifted lady singers of the era, k.d. lang, went shopping for gifts at The Grove in Los Angeles on Sunday -- looking like a big ol' scoop of bah humbug. Crying!
Miss Kathryn Dawn Lang, wearing form-fitted jeans, a lovely cotton coat and t-shirt, was the picture of holiday jeer. The "Salmonberries" star told a photog that she "hates Christmas."
She hides it well.

"Idol's" Chris Sligh: Party Like a Not Star
Can't make it to Vegas or Miami to party on New Years with real celebs? Then how about a fun-filled night in Westerly, Rhode Island -- with one of your favorite "American Idol" wannabeens of yore?!
Season Six's curly-haired 29-year-old, Sideshow Bob Chris Sligh, will "headline" the alcohol-free First Night Westerly celebration, by singing at least one song at the local Y-M-C-A! Finally, an event safe for Jessica Sierra! As if Sligh weren't enough entertainment for one night, the party will also feature face painting, mimes and a karate demo. Everything in moderation, people.
Tickets cost $10 before December 25, but jump up to a whopping $14 after Christmas. It may not be the opening of an outlet mall, housing development or local balloon festival, but it's still a bargain!
