Thanksgiving is almost upon us, and if you haven't done your gift shopping for Christmas, it's probably time, since many businesses are having problems stocking the shelves because their holiday merchandise is stuck in transit. In fact, Victoria's Secret says that nearly 50% of its merch --90 million items-- are delayed in the supply chain. So get shopping now, rather than waiting. You know you want those PJs... or a special bra-and-panty set, LOL.
Yesterday was the Great American Smokeout. How'd you do?
As we mentioned, Thanksgiving is next week, and the folks at the American Farm Bureau Federation say the cost for a 10-person feast is up 14-percent over last year, costing $53.31 --an all-time high. That Thanksgiving dinner estimate included turkey with stuffing, sweet potatoes, rolls with butter, peas, cranberries, a veggie tray, pumpkin pie with whipped cream, coffee and milk, with enough for leftovers.
That MARIAH CAREY Christmas special is set to air on AppleTV+ two weeks from today --on Friday December third. “Mariah’s Christmas: The Magic Continues,” will have a new version of her holiday classic, “Christmas (Baby Please Come Home),” along with a bunch of her other hits like “All I Want for Christmas Is You.” Plus, you'll get to see her 10-year-old twins, son Moroccan and daughter Monroe, and her song with KHALID and KIRK FRANKLIN, “Fall in Love at Christmas.”
Remember that woman who used Gorilla Glue in her hair because she ran out of hairspray? TESSICA BROWN is the 40-year-old woman, and she's just released a new rap song --called "Ma Hair"-- which she made at a Hollywood recording studio last month. TMZ reports she'd wanted to have NICKI MINAJ on the song as well, but Nicki never returned her calls. The song is due to be released tonight (Friday) at midnight.
