6 Things
NOT To Get Guys For Christmas from msn.com

Key chains. Women have purses, filled with many wonderful and convenient things to have on hand. Sometimes that makes keys hard to find so a keychain helps though we have
pockets. All that's usually in them is a wallet, keys, maybe our phone or some loose change. We're not going to lose our keys and we don't want weirdly shaped plastic poking our thighs.

 Things "as seen on TV!" Generally speaking, we'd rather see it on TV and chuckle than own whatever wacky contraption those late-night commercials are hawking.If it were more useful or worthwhile, it would probably be seen in stores not just on TV. and it wouldn't need someone describing it by talking way too loud and way too fast.

Shoes and clothes. Clothes aren't fun for most guys. It's true we probably don't buy new clothes often enough. We wear our favorite jeans until they're rags, and wear our loafers until they fell apart, if our parents didn't buy me new ones every year. But fun? No.

Artwork. It can be even more difficult to tell our taste in this area, since we don't wear it around. Unless the guy has expressed a specific interest, take him with you when shopping for
art.

Jewelry. Shocker: Not a big thing for most guys. If you don't see them wearing it, the reason is usually because they don't want to or they never considered it. If they're willing to
try, think simple and probably silver.

Cologne. Unless you're 1,000% sure they wear it and the brand, this is a big no-no.

 Dinner Is Served: VeryFirstTo.com is selling the world's most expensive Christmas dinner. The four-course meal costs $200,000. It features caviar, turkey, Wagyu beef fillet and heart, Akbari
Pistachios and an edible 50-carat gold leaf. Dessert includes watermelon and pre-World War One champagne in diamond studded flutes.

Jessica Biel loves Justin Timberlake'sn cooking. She says, "He's Southern, so he's got all this nfluence from his grandma. He does a three-layer pie … and blueberry crunch cake, which is pretty unbelievable. It doesn't happen all that often, thank god. Otherwise, it would be a big problem."

Hugh Jackman wants to play James Bond. He says, ''I will just wait. The good thing about Daniel is he's, what, 62 now, isn't he? He's falling apart at the seams. So I just keep telling him, 'I'm
ready, whenever you want to let him go, I'm ready'. The good thing is I have also got a British passport.''

Warner Brothers has cut ties with Elmo puppeteer Kevin Clash. A source tells Perez Hilton they were working on a new movie; “a ‘Calvin and Hobbes’ kind of movie about a kid and
his stuffed animal that takes on a life of its own because of the child’s imagination.”

Chris Brown and Rihanna may attend the Grammys together. A source tells Hollywoodlife.com, “That’s what it’s looking like. They already trying to figure that out. Rihanna wants to go together and he’s on board. Ain’t no hiding nothing anymore, all they s**t out and in the open.”

Kelly Clarkson loves free food. She says, ''The best bit about being famous is going to see shows. When I was younger I never got to go because I was broke and poor. You get special treatment [now]; some sweet people give you free food and drinks! No matter how much money you have, free is always good! When you come from a poor background, free never stops being exciting! I'm always like, 'Oh, this is free? Let's just drink as much as we can!''

Bruno Mars pigs out on cereal and Pop Tarts whenever he is at home

Adele is worried about her dog. A source says, ''Adele is really worried about her Louie; she doesn't want him to feel like the baby has taken over," an insider told Heat magazine. "Louie has always been the apple of her eye and until she gave birth she would carry him around town as though he were her baby. Adele and Simon still adore him and don't want him to feel neglected by the arrival of their baby boy. Adele wants to get another dog, so Louie can have a little friend and she's also hired a trainer to help out. She's always doted on Louie and even put him on a boat to New York last year when she was promoting her album there, because she couldn't bear to be away from him and didn't want him to fly.''
