For some people Christmas with the family means a stiff drink or two. Or three. And sometimes it isn’t until the food starts cooking that you realize you’re going to need more than you thought….. For small fixes and last-minute holiday needs, 7-11 convenience stores will be open on Christmas Day. But their hours may vary; so if in doubt call to find out. The awesome store that is BevMo is not open on the day of Christmas, but they are open until 6:00pm on Christmas Eve. So you’ll have to make sure you have all your specialty liquor by then. Remember, there are several... 

It’s pretty much a given that something will go wrong in the kitchen on Christmas Day like an important ingredient forgotten or urgently needed item missing. But fear not, there will be grocery stores open on Christmas 2011 to rescue you. Several of the KROGER stores (including Ralphs and Food4Less) are open 24-hours and will be open on Christmas 2011, but verify with the Kroger location near you before you bundle up and head out on your trek, because 24-hours may not really mean 24-hours on Christmas. My local grocery store, LUCKY’S Supermarket, will be open on... 

I’m not sure if you’re aware of this, but not everyone in America celebrates Christmas at home with family and loved ones. Shocking, I know. In fact, some people like to spend the day shopping. Which, if you think about it, is pretty darn American in its own right. For those of you who would rather spend Christmas 2011 out and about going from store to store enjoying empty parking lots and restaurants, the following information is for you. Shopping: All CVS stores are open Christmas Day from 10:00am to 8:00pm, but their pharmacies are closed. Most Rite Aid stores will have... 

From what I can tell, the answer is NO. But I’ve been known to be wrong about such things in the past, so if you’ve got a hankering to visit Walmart on Christmas 2011, be sure to verify the hours of your local Walmart: Walmart Store Finder via the Walmart website. You can also find your Local Walmart on Facebook. According to the information I’ve been able to gather, Walmart is open on Christmas Eve, closed on Christmas Day, and opens again the day after Christmas at 5:00am. In fact, the day after Christmas is the start of ‘Walmart’s Biggest Clearance Event of... 

What to impress your dinner guests this holiday season without creating annoying work and stress? You can even employ your in-home elves and get the kids into the act if they’re able follow simple directions and fold a napkin. If I was able to easily do the following holiday napkin folding, I know you can too. In fact, if you have fancy-schmancy napkins, I bet you can make better ones than I did. And if that’s the case, I want to see! The pictures of folded napkins included in this post are of the ones I made, proving that I actually did them. Plus the directions I give... 

I love random Hollywood trivia, so clearly the book Hollywood Stories: Short, Entertaining Anecdotes About the Stars and Legends of the Movies! is my type of read. While I knew off the bat that I would enjoy the book, author and story teller, Stephen Schochet, far surpassed my expectations. His knowledge of inside-Hollywood both past and present is astounding. Hollywood Stories is a fun, light romp through unknown facts and random Hollywood history, with chapters including “Great Hollywood Comedians,” “Walt Disney Stories,” “Drinking Tales,” and “Leading Men and... 

Hopefully she’ll last longer than a week this time. At the end of last season’s The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Kim Richards was outed as an alcoholic by her younger sister Kyle Richards. The news wasn’t anything significant, as the audience had long since figured out Kim had some addiction issues. I mean, all you had to do was watch one episode and could see that Kim needed some sort of help. After the season ended, Kim Richards entered rehab at her family’s urging, but checked herself out a week later. On Monday, news hit that Kim Richards entered rehab last...
