"Everything feels so riiiiiggght! It's the seeeason of joooyyyy!" Christmastime is near. As a present, Teresa Giudice's daughter Gia, along with her friends Alexa Maetta and Cristianna Cardinale—who are in a girl group called 3KT—have dropped off this video for "Season of Joy," which features them performing robotic…
Alright everyone! You can officially start unpacking your mangled, balled up Christmas tree lights (which we all know what the correct color should be) and get the inflatable Frosty The Snowman set up in the front yard. Bust out the eggnog and start coming up with excuses for why your unemployed cousins can't stay…
Today on The View, Mario Cantone and Joey McIntyre sang a straight man/gay man version of "Baby It's Cold Outside," except they changed the words to "Buddy, it's cold outside" and it was the worst thing ever. NKOTBWTFBBQ.
