Christmas carols, by nature, are mostly fairly schmaltzy. So what kind of justice can an artist like Tori Amos bring them? In her new Christmas album “Midwinter Graces”, Amos does an interesting job of reinterpreting well-known traditional Christmas songs, and even adds five of her own originals to the mix.

Our favorite person from “Sex Rehab,” Duncan the gay, dishes on why Dr. Drew doesn’t really know it all and how the show was manipulated, Slate.com looks at America’s addiction to labeling everything an addiction and in Britan all the girls are drunk. Also; “The Princess and the Frog” is a feminist fairytale, TARGET WOMAN wraps up ’09, Medieval Herstory, the world from your window, and where size 4 is “fat.”
I think I should just come clean and say “Riese’s Team Pick” means “too late for the daily fix, but must share now.” Like, for example, The Sims do Bad Romance.

Also; The Daily Show asks schoolchildren about the socialist agenda, the hazards of a first date in the digital age and the stunning documentary “Every F*cking Day of My Life.”

A new study shows that LGBT equality has been on the up-and-up for the last decade… except in school, where homophobia rages on. Vote for SheWired’s gay woman of the year. Also; teens love sexting, have sex before their parents talk to them about it, and get bad sex ed. Then we have a cute video with bells in it. So.
The Washington D.C. City Council said yes to marriage equality in its final vote on the bill. Howevs, Marion Barry voted no, which is frustrating. Los Angeles police have some new info on Mitrice Richardson, who went missing three months ago. There’s some good news for gay businesses. And were same-sex marriage supporters too vocal in New Jersey?
Robin catches up with Lucas Siveria and his new bandmates, Brian Viglione & Tobi Parks, for their first photoshoot together as The Cliks … and we think they’re in love.
Mediaite put together a nice little gallery of redesigned logos from the last 10 years. AOL & their hired design firm was obviously on LSD when they did their logo redesign… which I had no idea happened!
