Billy Ray Cyrus -- Silent Night in Afghanistan
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.
Good work BRC.

Duggar Family on the Move for XMAS
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.
Merry XMAS.

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.
