I think of The Muppets whenever I hear the song, "The 12 Days of Christmas". As soon as I hear the singers get to number nine, "Nine ladies dancing", I can't help but think "Mee mee mee mee mee" because that's how Beaker sings the line on my all-time favorite Christmas soundtrack, John Denver & The Muppets: A Christmas Together.The Muppets holiday special originally aired in 1979. It's probably been two decades since I've seen it, since it never airs. I don't remember much about the special and, unfortunately, it's not on DVD. But, at age 30, the soundtrack is the first Christmas-related item I pull out of storage during this time of year.
Another Hollywood split-up. This time it's Hilary Swank and Chad Lowe. The two have been married for eight years, but
it's not final. While they're splitting up, they aren't getting divorced. The official statement says, "Hilary and
Chad have decided to separate, but they are hopeful they'll be able to get through this tough time." The two
reportedly split sometime last year.
