Reese Witherspoon Has Four Christmases and Maybe A Horse

You've gotta feel sorry for these celebrities sometimes. First they have to spend all that time counting all that money, then they have decide what expensive barnyard animal to buy as gifts for their children.

Reese Witherspoon is no exception - she's says daughter Ava, 9, "wants a horse" for Christmas, but says she hasn't decided if there'll be a filly under the tree come December 25.

"I'm a little strict about that kind of stuff," Witherspoon says. "I think kids do best when they only have a couple of things that they really enjoy. I try and stay away from the gluttony of things. They don't appreciate it as much. When they only get one or two things, they really like it."

That's right Reese - one or two horses should be enough for those kids of yours.

And with your movie Four Christmases being number one right now, you won't have to put them on your credit card, either.

Donny and Marie May Return to Television

Donny and Marie are in talks with networks who are interested in the pair, hot on the heels of their appearances on "Dancing With The Stars." The brother/sister duo are no strangers to television, having hosted the 1970s variety show "The Donny & Marie Show" and the late-'90s daytime talker "Donny & Marie."

Talks this time around include possibilities of hosting duties for reality series in primetime and a syndicated talk show for daytime, sources said.

I just hope it's as exciting as this, or THIS (Yeah baby!):

This Christmas, Get Into Brad Pitt's Pants!

Settle down, girls - maybe not his pants, but at least into his t-shirt. Brad Pitt is seen here modeling items from his clothing line for Make It Right, the charity he founded to help rebuild the Katrina-devastated Lower Ninth Ward. All proceeds from the green line, which includes shirts, bags and his ubiquitous newsboy cap, will go towards rebuilding homes.

Besides lending his celebrity status to the cause, Pitt is generously donating $5 million of his own money. So buy your Brangelina fan a t-shirt for Christmas and support a worthy cause. Definitely will be more appreciated than that Chia Pet or those light-up Santa socks.

It's a Posh Christmas: Victoria Beckham Spends $50,000 on a Treehouse

I was feeling a little deflated when I heard that Victoria Beckham had dropped fifty-grand on a treehouse as a Christmas gift for sons Brooklyn, 8, Romeo, 5 and Cruz, 2. No way would they be impressed by the deluxe pack of Pokémon cards that I had picked up for them on sale at Target.

But then I saw a picture of the ‘treehouse’, purchased from the Neiman Marcus Fantasy Gifts catalog. What self-respecting little boy would play in this thing? Where's the ladder? Where's the pirate lookout? Where's a place to hang the "No Girlz Allowed” sign? I'd say it looks more like a hot air balloon waiting to be rescued.

Don't worry, Beckham boys - at least you'll have a big set of Pokemon cards to play with in there.

Just in Time For Christmas: Marie Osmond's Dancing With The Stars Dolls

Here's a gift that will have your family and friends longing for the days when you gifted them with pet rocks and hideous appliquéd sweaters: Marie Osmond has just debuted her line of Dancing With the Stars dolls on QVC. QVC is, coincidentally, the birthplace of the hideous appliquéd sweater.

The collection consists of dolls dressed in the same costumes Osmond wore on the show —the Boogie Woogie doll, the Paso Doble doll, the Quickstep doll and the disastrous season finale, the Baby Doll. I wonder if any of the dolls pretend to faint.
