RuPaul's Christmas Ball was shot for VH1 in 1993, but now that I've discovered it (thanks, Eliot!), I'm pretty sure it's more entertaining than any Christmas special, ever. Not only does it feature RuPaul herself, but other insanely fierce celebrities of the time: Elton John, Taylor Dane, Boy George, Laura Kightlinger, and ...Nirvana?! You'll also see LaToya Jackson wearing the same blonde-wig, red-dress getup that Ru is wearing, which obviously leads to a diva-off. (On a related note: does anybody know where I can find a copy of Step Up With LaToya? I've been meaning to get into a new at-home exercise routine.) If you've got an extra 50 minutes today, just watch. I guarantee you'll be filled with holiday cheer. More »

The naked baby who was on the cover of Nirvana's iconic Nevermind album? Um, he's 17 now, recreating the cover shoot, and saying naughty things in lame attempts to pick up girls like "You want to see my penis ... again?" Suave! • John Mayer says he's not going to be playful with the paparazzi anymore. "Things have changed a bit, and the decision to slide on and off your radar isn't so much my own anymore.
