Elvis Presley’s “Blue Christmas” tops “Ultimate Classic Rock’s” list of the saddest Christmas songs.  It’s followed by Wham!’s “Last Christmas” and “Please Come Home for Christmas” by the Eagles. (You can see the rest at UltimateClassicRock.com.)

Who can say if the title of “Wicked: Part Two” has been changed for the better? But it has been changed for good. Literally. Universal Pictures has renamed the sequel to this year’s musical hit to “Wicked: For Good.” The movie, which chronicles the second act of the beloved Broadway show, will open in theaters on Nov. 21, 2025.

Hasn’t Jamie Foxx been through enough? Jamie was celebrating his 57th birthday Friday night at a place called Mr. Chow in Beverly Hills . . . when SOMETHING broke out between his crew and a table of “Jack@$$” production crew staff. Someone from the other table threw a glass, which hit Jamie in the MOUTH.  He ended up getting stitches. Police are still investigating, so no charges have been filed. In an Instagram post yesterday, Jamie said, quote, “The devil is busy, but I’m too blessed to be stressed.”

Taylor Swift can add ANOTHER accomplishment for 2024.  She finished the year with the top TWO albums on Billboard’s year-end chart. “The Tortured Poets Department” landed at #1, followed by “1989 (Taylor’s Version)” at #2.  Morgan Wallen’s “One Thing at a Time” came in third. (You can see the full Year-End Billboard Album 200 chart here.)

It’s a December to remember for Prime Video. “Red One” has been a huge hit so far on Amazon with 50 million viewers over its first weekend.  “Red One” had a pretty mediocre box office run . . . and critics HATED it, but it’s had the biggest premiere for an Amazon MGM Studios movie on Prime.
