Show notes
MUSIC
The three surviving founding members of KISS -- Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley and Peter Criss -- paid a visit to The White House on Saturday where President Trump recognized them as one of this year's five recipients of the Kennedy Center Honors, which is presented to those in the performing arts for their lifetime of contributions to American culture. Guitarist Ace Frehley, who died in October following a fall at his New Jersey home, was represented by his daughter Monique. https://youtu.be/MoEAlhUTVnE
Following the ceremony in the Oval Office, the State Department hosted a dinner for the honorees, which also included actors Sylvester Stallone and Michael Crawford, country singer George Strait, and R&B singer Gloria Gaynor. Taking the podium there, the President spoke in more detail about each recipient.
With a chair left empty in memory of Ace Frehley, KISS were honored by Garth Brooks, who, upon taking the stage said, “I see some faces of confusion. No we are in the right segment of the show, people” before performing "Shout it Out Loud."
Also paying tribute were Criss Angel, Marcus King, and Cheap Trick who ended the show with "Rock and Roll All Nite."
Highlights of the show will air on CBS and Paramount+ on December 23rd.
Garbage was performing in Australia recently, and apparently someone started tossing a beach ball around. Shirley stopped the show to RANT about the beach balls . . . sarcastically shouting, "Guy with your big [effing] beach ball. Ooh, I'm so scared of you. So thrilled by you. What [an effing D-bag]." https://consequence.net/2025/12/garbage-shirley-manson-beach-ball-video/
TV
Miley Cyrus gagged while describing this fear on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" on Thursday night. It's caused such a problem in her daily life, that she's even known for being a Grinch during Christmastime because of her issue with wrapping paper. She has an issue with how it feels, and the way it sounds, especially if it's touched by DRY hands, which is common during winter.

AND FINALLY
Jane Seymour isn't a doctor . . . but she played one on TV . . . and she's sharing the secret to feeling decades younger.
Jane is 74 now. But she actually needs to keep looking at her birth certificate to believe it. https://people.com/jane-seymour-says-she-feels-20-to-30-years-younger-at-74-exclusive-11862954
Dr. Quinn shared THREE of her secrets, and there's good news: It isn't out-of-touch, celebrity stuff . . . it's so relatable that YOU can live it. Here they are:
1. Non-stop working and challenging yourself. Quote, "I work 12-, 14-hour days on sets and keep up with everyone. I don't need cue cards . . . I learn pages after pages and I have a lot of energy . . .
"I keep working, and I keep pushing myself to be better . . . because I love what I do . . . it keeps me young."
2. Spending time with family, and having active friends. Quote, "I have grandchildren and my own children, some of whom are in their early 40s. I'm part of their social circle. So I've never been sort of put in the group of, 'Oh, now you're an older person . . .' Not at all. Quite the opposite."
3. Don't dismiss new things, embrace them, and join in. Jane says she's "much more open-minded" about life now, and is "not stuck in my ways."
She adds, "People say, 'Are you going to wind down?' I go, 'I am winding UP' I am loving life. NOW is it . . . I only want to do things that I'm passionate about . . . and I make sure that, even if it's work, that I turn it into a fun life experience."
AND THAT IS YOUR CRAP ON CELEBRITIES!
