Netflix's new holiday rom-com, "Hot Frosty," is sure to melt icy relations in the bedroom for some couples this winter ... this according to a renowned sex therapist.

Dr. Laura Berman, who is best known for her show on the Oprah Winfrey Network, tells TMZ ... the seasonal flick will likely help guys get laid during the winter months -- which is a notorious time for dry spells.

According to the doctor, studies show people's sex drives decrease in the winter months, especially around the holidays ... likely due to the stress and lack of alone time with families being home more. Depression is far more common in the winter, too.

Rep. Nicole Malliotakis is standing by Holtermann’s Bakery a week after Whoopi Goldberg accused the Staten Island institution of snubbing her order based on her politics.

The Republican congressman made a show of support for the 146-year-old bakery in the wake of the controversy, bringing HB's famed Charlotte Russe cakes to Capitol Hill Wednesday ... where she publicly called out Whoopi's remarks as "simply not true."

The NY rep is seeking justice for the bakery, too ... demanding "The View" host apologize to Holtermann’s -- all while encouraging her peers in D.C. to enjoy a treat.

Carrie Underwood may not have been nominated for a 2024 CMA award -- but she was a fan favorite at the Tuesday night event for her unexpected performance with Cody Johnson.

7:50 AM PT -- Thursday morning, about 9 hours after Elon Musk's post, Jeff Bezos responded underneath with his own tweet ... "Nope. 100% not true."

Elon Musk took a shot at Jeff Bezos, calling him out for supposedly predicting -- wrongly, we may add -- that Donald Trump would lose the presidential election to Kamala Harris.

On Wednesday night, Musk hopped on his social media platform, X, writing, “Just learned tonight at Mar-a-Lago that Jeff Bezos was telling everyone that @realDonaldTrump would lose for sure, so they should sell all their Tesla and SpaceX stock.”

Clearly, Musk was referring to the stock value of his companies, Tesla and SpaceX, plunging if Trump had lost to Harris, but, of course, that didn't happen. Trump walloped Harris in the election and now he's about to take the reins again at the White House for his second term.

Convicted child killer Susan Smith's tears at her parole hearing were all BS, totally fabricated to sway the board ... this, according to a former guard who was fired and prosecuted for having sex with her in prison years ago.

Alfred Rowe -- a disgraced prison guard formerly employed at Camille Graham Correctional Center in South Carolina, where Smith served until 2000 -- tells TMZ ... the parole board made the right choice by keeping her in prison.

Rowe says he doesn't think Smith has changed ... and getting emotional at the hearing was all for show -- with AR saying someone must've bottled some tears and brought them in for her to use, 'cause she's not capable of that level of emotion on her own.

Sources with direct knowledge spilled the beans to TMZ, revealing Lizzo scooped up the 6-bedroom, 9-bathroom house at the end of last month -- and it’s the perfect pad for her, especially 'cause the place comes with a recording studio.

It was reported Renner had sold the house -- but the buyer's identity remained a mystery. The mansion was originally listed for $13 million in August ... but Renner still walked away with a nice profit, having bought it in 2012 for $4 million and sinking another $5.5 million into renovations.
