Alanis Morissette Delivers Baby Boy on Christmas.

Alanis Morissette and husband Mario “Souleye” Treadway have extra reason to be happy this holiday season. People Magazine confirmed that the happy couple welcomed a baby boy, Ever Imre Morissette-Treadway, on Dec. 25th. “All are healthy and happy.”

Alanis Morissette announced her pregnancy back in August via Twitter before appearing on the ‘Chelsea Lately’ show later that day.

Morissette and Treadway began dating in 2009 after Morissette’s five-year relationship (and engagement) with actor Ryan Reynolds ended. The couple were married on May 22, 2010 in a private ceremony at their Los Angeles home.

Paris Hilton Reveals Her 2010 Christmas Card.

We all know Paris Hilton had quite a bumpy year. And, as depicted in her new holiday photo, she just might be bracing for another one.

The provocative Christmas card has been mailed to friends and associates of the 29-year-old socialite (recently nixed from the Nicole Richie wedding guest list), and the message she sends, according to People.com, is as unsubtle as her slinky silver minidress: “Happy holidays to everyone! Love Paris, xoxo”

Perched on an upholstered throne and dressed to the nines, the jet-setter — who was arrested in August by Las Vegas police on a felony cocaine charge — is surely hoping to put her 2010 woes behind her. But despite her pout, she’s feeling cheerful, reports RadarOnline: “Christmas is my favorite time of year,” she says, adding that she plans to spend the holidays soaking up the sun, first in Hawaii, then Mexico.
Hilton’s latest venture, according to the New York Times, is a motorcycle racing team called SuperMartxé VIP by Paris Hilton (the name refers to a dance party in Ibiza). She recently flew to Madrid for the launch of her sporty new endeavor. The team will compete in the 2011 125cc MotoGP World Championship season, and as part of Hilton’s contract, she will reportedly be in attendance at various races over the next five years.

Thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving Day is a harvest festival celebrated primarily in the United States and Canada. Traditionally, it has been a time to give thanks for a bountiful harvest. While it may have been religious in origin, Thanksgiving is now primarily identified as a secular holiday. It is sometimes casually referred to as Turkey Day.

Veterans Day.

Veterans Day is an annual United States holiday honoring military veterans. A federal holiday, it is observed on November 11. It is also celebrated as Armistice Day or Remembrance Day in other parts of the world, falling on November 11, the anniversary of the signing of the Armistice that ended World War I. (Major hostilities of World War I were formally ended at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918 with the German signing of the Armistice.)

The holiday is commonly printed as Veteran’s Day or Veterans’ Day in calendars and advertisements. While these spellings are grammatically acceptable, the United States government has declared that the attributive (no apostrophe) rather than the possessive case is the official spelling.
