After the first season of American Idol, someone thought it was a good idea to give Kelly Clarkson and Justin Guarini the movie From Justin to Kelly. It bombed Therefore for the second season, they opted not to do the same for Clay Aiken and Ruben Studdard.
Now 15 years later, Ruben and Clay of them are finally getting a show together. The American Idol winner and runnerup will be doing a Christmas show at the Imperial Theater on Broadway for 3 weeks only starting on December 7th. They describe it as a Christmas Carol family fun pageant spectacular reunion show. What that means, only time will tell.
Do I think it is a good idea? I think it is 15 years too late, but yet I want to go see it. Do you?
Even though Christmas is still 118 days away, that is not stopping William Shatner from announcing that he has an album coming out just for the holiday. It is his first one dedicated to the season and he is calling it Shatner Claus, appropriately enough.
The CD will feature several holiday classic duets with celebrities like Iggy Pop and Brad Paisley. There is also an original tune on it called One for You, One for Me.
I predict this December we will all be singing his unique take on the Christmas Carols we know all so well like Feliz Navidad. Thankfully, the record is coming out on October 26th, so we have plenty of time to learn all the tracks by the New Year.

Christmas is still six months away, but I am already getting into the spirit. What better way to do that then by listening to some music just for the holiday? That is exactly what AXS TV is doing on July 28th. Starting at 8a they will air 13 music specials that are so cool, you won’t need the air conditioner on that day.
A wide variety of musicians from Adult Contemporary to Country to pure Rock to Jessica Simpson. A little something for everyone. Even the Grinch and Ebenezer Scrooge could fake some holiday joy!
So mark your calendars because you do not want to miss this day of rockin’ concerts. That and because by July 29th, it will be time to go shopping for the season since it starts earlier and earlier every year.

Elf, Home Alone, A Christmas story are great holiday movies, but they are all missing something. That something is dancing and Ellen DeGeneres showed us how much better it is with dancing. She had Clark Griswold, Santa Claus and many others shake their booties and Christmas is better holiday because of it! Get the egg nog, sit back and enjoy!
When we think of Josh Groban’s voice, we think of it as deep as the middle of the ocean. Turns out he can make it as high as the apple pie in the sky high.
Why does he sound like someone grabbed his balls, squeezed them and told him to sing. He was simply answering a question for ABC News. They wanted to know what his favorite Christmas song is. Not only did he tell them it is I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas by Gayla Peevey, he also sang part of the song for them like he was that 10-year-old girl belting it out back in 1953. Who knew he could hit those notes, but turns out he can. Now I wish I had phonograph player to play his album Noel in 45 rpm, just so I can hear him sing Little Drummer Boy in that higher voice. Pa rum pum pum pum!
On that note, the singer said that the best Christmas gift he got as a little boy was a drum set. Which makes that song even more fitting for his Christmas album.
BTW can you tell someone got into the Egg Nog a few days early?
