Home Alone has long been a holiday favorite, ever since little Kevin McCallister (originally played by Macaulay Culkin) was left home by himself and tried aftershave for the first time back in 1990.
Last week, Culkin received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. His on-screen mom, Catherine O’Hara, and fellow child actor, Natasha Lyonne, were there to help him celebrate.
“Macaulay, congratulations, you so deserve your star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame,” said O’Hara. “Thank you for including me, your fake mom who left you home alone not once but twice, to share in this happy occasion,” she joked before adding. “I’m so proud of you.”
Culkin got emotional during the ceremony. “I’d like to thank Brenda, you are absolutely everything. You’re my champion,” he said to his fiancee, Brenda Song, who was in the audience with their two sons. “You’re the only person happier for me today than I am. You’re not only the best woman I’ve ever known, you’re the best person I’ve ever known” Culkin went on to thank Song for giving him “purpose” and a family. “After the birth of our two boys, you’ve become one of my three favorite people,” he joked.
To close, Culkin added the Home Alone quote, “In the spirit of the holiday season, I just want to say ‘Merry Christmas, ya filthy animals!’”

It appears that wedding bells may be in order for Vanessa Hudgens and Cole Tucker! According to People, the High School Musical star and the professional baseball player, tied the knot in Tulum, Mexico.
Although both Hudgens, 34, and Tucker, 27, have yet to comment on the reports, photos of the Tick, Tick… Boom! star posing in a white dress made the rounds on X (formerly Twitter) over the weekend (Dec. 3). A post from former High School Musical co-star Monique Coleman added more fuel to the rumors; the Emmy-nominated host shared clips of a sunny beach on her Instagram Story, tagging her location as Tulum, Mexico.
Billboard has reached out to representatives for both Hudgens and Tucker for comment.
In a 2021 Drew Barrymore Show interview, Hudgens recounted how got in touch with Tucker after meeting him in a Zoom meditation group during the peak of COVID-19 lockdowns. “I fully just slid into his DMs and was like, ‘Hey it was nice to meet you,’” she said. “I think there’s no shame in making the first move. If you want it, why wait for someone else to give you what you want?”
On Valentine’s Day 2021 (Feb. 14), Hudgens made the couple Instagram official when she posted a sweep snap of them sharing a kiss. “It’s you, it’s me, it’s us. @cotuck ❤️💋🤟🏽,” she captioned the post. By Feb. 9, 2023, the couple confirmed their engagement — again via Instagram — with a post captioned, “YES. We couldn’t be happier.”
News of Hudgens’ reported marriage closes a busy year for the multi-hyphenate. This year, she starred in the Lily Rabe-directed drama Downtown Owl, hosted the pre-show for the 95th Academy Awards and continued to prep for the forthcoming fourth installment of the Bad Boys franchise.
Vanessa Hudgens has earned 15 entries on the Billboard Hot 100, including the top 10 hits “Breaking Free” (No. 4) and “What Time Is It” (No. 6) from the High School Musical and High School Musical 2 soundtracks, respectively. On the Billboard 200, she has charted both of her solo studio albums: 2006’s V (No. 24) and 2008’s Identified (No. 23).

Each style is available starting at $130 on Adidas’ site with kids, women’s and men’s sizing available to choose from, but sizes are quickly selling out.

Billie Eilish again confirmed that she’s part of the LGBTQ community in a red carpet interview at the Variety Hitmakers Brunch on Saturday (Dec. 2), just a couple weeks after she first told Variety that she’s “attracted” to women in her November cover story. After the event was over, however, she took to Instagram to call out the publication, alleging that she was outed on the red carpet.
“thanks variety for my award and for also outing me on a red carpet at 11 am instead of talking about anything else that matters,” the 21-year-old pop star wrote, captioning clips from the Hitmakers event as well as a photo of her pants pulled down to her thighs, taken while she was presumably sitting on the toilet.
“i like boys and girls leave me alone about it please literally who cares,” she added. “stream ‘what was i made for’🥸,” she added in reference to her Grammy-nominated Barbie soundtrack song.
Eilish’s post most likely referenced the on-camera interview she gave to Variety‘s Tiana DeNicola, who asked the Grammy winner, “Did you mean to come out in [your cover story]?”
As both of them laughed, Eilish replied, “No I didn’t, but I kinda thought, Wasn’t it obvious?“
In the Nov. 13 Power of Women issue, Eilish confessed that she’s “attracted to [women] for real … I’m physically attracted to them. But I’m also so intimidated by them and their beauty and their presence.”
“I just don’t really believe in [coming out],” continued the “Happier Than Ever” singer on the red carpet. “I’m just like, why can’t we just exist? I’ve been doing this for a long time, and I just didn’t talk about it. Whoops. But … I saw the article and I was like, ‘Oh! I guess I came out today!’”
The musician went on to pick up the Hitmakers award for Film Song of the Year, earning recognition for her Barbie contribution “What Was I Made For.” The track is also nominated for record of the year, song of the year, best pop solo performance, best song written for visual media and best music video at next year’s Grammys.

Garth Brooks is kicking off Billboard Live Shopping Week with talkshoplive tonight at 7 p.m. ET — and you can shop right here.
Brooks wants you to deck yourself out in custom merch for the holidays during his 7 Days of Garth! shopping special. Whether you’re a fan of the country superstar or you’re searching for perfect gifts for the music lovers in your life, the Grammy winner has you covered.
Tonight, the “If Tomorrow Never Comes” singer is going live from the stage of his Las Vegas residency at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace, where he sold out all his 2023 dates and has already sold out the first half of 2024. Just last week, he added 18 new dates from September to December next year (you can find tickets here).
His livestream will celebrate the soft opening of his Friends in Low Places Bar & Honky-Tonk — now open Thursdays through Sundays in Nashville — with exclusive bar merch only available through this shopping special. He’ll be doing seven days of livestreams and the merch drops will be available for seven hours, or until they sell out.
Brooks will launch Billboard Live Shopping Week with talkshoplive by selling Friends in Low Places playing cards, a navy tumbler, a camouflage baseball hat, an oasis T-shirt, a bucket hat, a return to Ireland tee, a red Solo cup and a GARTHQUAKE tee. Tonight, he’ll be joined by one of his biggest fans, Becky Barrus, who has been to more than 60 of his shows and has been following him since 1991. It’s been her dream to meet Garth — and this livestream will make her dream come true.
Since each item is unlike any merch Brooks has released previously, collectors and superfans like Becky definitely won’t want to miss out on stocking up.
Brooks’ drop is just the beginning of Billboard Live Shopping Week with talkshoplive: The week continues with Bachelorette star Tayshia Adams launching her Netflix merch via Amazon on Tuesday; Angela Simmons offering special discounts on her Angela’s Cakes mixes and Jordin Sparks showing off her favorite gifts from Walmart on Wednesday; Sammy Wilk and Akon each sharing brand-new merch drops on Thursday; and Priscilla Block joining Hooche podcast host Demps to offer up new bundles featuring her Hey Jack T-shirt, Hooche trucker hat and more to wrap things up on Friday. We’ll also have a special bonus livestream on Wednesday, Dec. 13, when Jared Leto of Thirty Seconds to Mars will offer up exclusive tour merch, a holiday collection, tour tickets and special VIP packages in celebration of his band’s latest album, It’s the End of the World But It’s a Beautiful Day.
