Violet Grohl, daughter of Dave Grohl, released her first two solo singles, "THUM" and "Applefish", on Dec. 5.

ICYMI: Filter, Filter Eleven and Local H are teaming up for a spring tour that starts March 5th in Wenatchee, Washington and wraps up April 1st in Cleveland. Tickets go on sale Friday.

It looks like Oasis fans will definitely have to wait until 2027 to see the band again. Liam Gallagher answered fans' questions on X about continuing their reunion tour, and when one fan asked him to announce dates for next year already, Gallagher replied: “We’re not doing anything in 2026 sorry.”

I've never wanted a celebrity relationship more than I want Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson. Unfortunately, it sounds like it's not happening. At least not anymore. On the bright side, it sounds like they're in a really good place. https://people.com/pamela-anderson-on-liam-neeson-relationship-exclusive-11864356

AND FINALLY

'USA Today' has picked its list for the worst Christmas songs of all time. They are:

1. Alvin and the Chipmunks, ‘The Chipmunk Song (Christmas Don’t Be Late)’  
2. Elmo and Patsy, ‘Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer’
3. NewSong, ‘The Christmas Shoes’  
4. Jessica and Ashlee Simpson, ‘The Little Drummer Boy’  
5. New Kids on the Block, ‘Funky Funky Xmas’

'USA Today' called their number one pick for worst Christmas song "the novelty song from Hell."

Sure there's those annoying Christmas songs we hear every year . . . but let's take it up a notch with Christmas carols from HELL. 

1. "Here Comes Santa Claus" by Mrs. Miller. She was discovered by the announcer from "Laugh-In", which should tell you all you need to know.

2. "Silent Night" by Wing. Wing Han Tsang was from Hong Kong and started singing as a hobby when she moved to New Zealand. Surprisingly, she made it kinda big. "South Park" even parodied her back in the day.

3. "White Christmas" by Tiny Tim. There's also "Silent Night", featuring a spoken-word break where he takes aim at hypocrites, fornicators, and child molesters. You know, just regular Christmas caroler stuff. 

4. "Little Drummer Boy" by William Hung. Isn't it crazy to think there's a whole generation who has no idea who this "American Idol" treasure is? 

5. "I Got a Cold for Christmas" by the Three Stooges. Not terrible, but not exactly a classic.

6. "Jingle Bells" by William Shatner, featuring Henry Rollins. Yes, THAT Henry Rollins.

7. "Santa Claws Is Coming to Town" by Alice Cooper, featuring John 5, Billy Sheehan, and Vinny Appice. 

8. "The Night Before Christmas" by David Hasselhoff. This one is extra cheesy, but did you expect anything less?

9. "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" by Regis Philbin. This one has a cameo by a pre-Oval Office Donald Trump, who offers Rudolph a job in place of Santa.

10. "Jingle Hell" by Christopher Lee. Yes, one of the greatest actors of all time. He dabbled in heavy metal later in life. This actually isn't his only holiday song, either. He also did covers of "The Little Drummer Boy" and "Silent Night".

11. "Away in a Manger" by the Brady Bunch. This one only features the vocal talents of Marcia, a.k.a. Maureen McCormick. It's from an album called "Merry Christmas from the Brady Bunch".
