My Christmas was fabulous - and I sincerely hope yours was as well! It was difficult for things to go wrong on my end. The maxin' and relaxin' went off without a hitch - easy to do when your sights are set on drinking champagne and playing Scrabble. Of course the holiday wrapped up with our annual viewing of Bad Santa. Absolutely sublime. However, not everyone was as lucky. Here's a quick round-up of celebrities who found their stockings stuffed with coal:*Police showed up at the home of the Kardashian clan to help contain a fight that broke out at the valet stand. Apparently a neighbor got rowdy and scraped with the family's priest while a Christmas Eve party raged on inside. Those klever Kardashians must have been working overtime for their reality series. Now that's kommitment to the holiday spirit!
*Charlie Sheen and his wife, Brooke Mueller Sheen, also had some extra company in the form of police on Christmas Eve. It's been alleged that Charlie attempted to strangle Brooke while also attacking her with a knife. Though Brooke later recanted her version of the story, Charlie still had a trip to the slammer in store for the holidays. Somewhere Denise Richards (Sheen's former spouse) is saying, "I told you so."
*In the "broken hearts for the holidays" club we have the split of longtime couple Tim Robbins and Susan Sarandon. Apparently the duo of twenty-three years broke up this summer, but just got around to announcing the news this month. Thanks for the smack in the face of true love. What's next - finding out there's no Santa Claus? Meanwhile, Tim must have had a blue Christmas. Susan has already moved on with a 33-year old ping-pong player - seriously.
*Meanwhile, Brittany Murphy was laid to rest on Christmas Eve at the Forest Lawn Cemetery in Los Angeles. So, that pretty much trumps everything. How brutal it must be to have to bury a loved one on Christmas. My heart goes out to her family and friends. May the saucer-eyed cutie with the ringing laugh and vivacious presence find much peace.
Let's hope 2010 is a much mellower and happier year. I'll toast to that!
