We all know the song All I Want for Christmas Is You, but do you know how Mariah Carey came up with it?
The singer reveals in her CBS Christmas special that the record company told her to release a Christmas album, and that is when she wrote the holiday staple.
The words she put to paper come from the Christmases she had as a kid. Even though her mom, who was raising two kids by herself, weren’t the best, she found a way to make them special. Her mom would wrap up things like fruit and say it was from the cat or dog. So Mimi didn’t need a lot as a kid as long as she had her mom.
And that is not all we find out about the single. Mariah used not to be able to listen to the song because she would find things wrong with it. However, as more and more people told her why the song is special to them, she has learned to love the tune that will forever haunt our Novembers and Decembers.
Merry Christmas to All debuts on Tuesday and will stream on Paramount+.
Warner Bros released the first teaser for Barbie, and we don’t get to see much of Margot Robbie in the title role. But what we do get to see of the film is just how much fun it is going to be. It appears that it will be 90 minutes of stupid fun. And who doesn’t need that?
Back in September, Jane Fonda announced that she was undergoing chemotherapy to fight non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Today, she gave an update on her battle with cancer.
“Last week I was told by my oncologist that my cancer is in remission and I can discontinue chemo,” she wrote. “I am feeling so blessed, so fortunate. I thank all of you who prayed and sent good thoughts my way. I am confident that it played a role in the good news.”
She then went on to say that except for the last round with chemo, the treatment was tolerable.
Hopefully, she will remain in remission. And can have some extra bubbly to celebrate her 85th on the 21st and being cancer-free.
