We caught up with the actor, who gave us the scoop about buying Christmas gifts for his family, including mom Sheryl Lee Ralph ... telling us it's a real challenge because their birthdays also fall right around the holidays.

You’ve got to catch the full clip 'cause we also ask Etienne -- who is currently starring in his new OWN movie, "Mistletoe & Matrimony" -- what Xmas gift really shocked his mom.

NFL fans don't need a Hail Mary for Christmas this year ... 'cause Mariah Carey just delivered a festive touchdown of her own with a show-stopping performance ahead of the Kansas City Chiefs vs. Pittsburgh Steelers clash.

Now streaming on Netflix, Mariah brought the holiday magic with her iconic pre-taped "All I Want For Christmas Is You" performance atop a festive float, with clips of people at home and in bars vibing to her festive banger while celebrating those NFL victories.

Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker turned up the holiday heat with some cozy Christmas snuggles -- proving once again that their romance is anything but frosty.

Netflix just released a trailer for "Happy Gilmore 2," and unsurprisingly the first speaking role in the preview is ... Travis Kelce.

Hard to believe ... it's been 3 decades since Adam Sandler played the failed ice hockey player who pivoted to golf.

There are a ton of celeb cameos in 'HG2' ... including Bad Bunny, Kid Cudi, Nick Swardson and Margaret Qualley. Julie Bowen is back, along with Christopher McDonald.

Prince George is second in line for the throne, but first in line when it comes to celebrating XMAS with an awesome reading of Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol."

The 11-year-old son of William and Kate was grinning ear to ear as he took in Richard Grant's dramatic read. Grant, after all, is an Oscar nominee, so it's gotta be good.

George and the brood were at Kate Middleton's annual "Together at Christmas" service, where carols were on the menu.

Drake is not letting a crappy 2024 get him down, because he's fully in the XMAS spirit posing in a massive faux fur coat.

Looks like Drizzy's in Toronto, judging by the snow. He was quick to flex, posting, "Used to look up to some people then I hit a growth spurt…$$$🎁"

It's unclear if he's telegraphing a message to his detractors, in the wake of Kendrick's "Not Like Us" that caused a tidal wave of criticism claiming Drake was a sellout. The $$$ ref is undeniable -- Drake has killed it in that department.

Bill Maher is saying humbug to supporters of DEI, calling it "virtue signaling" that in no way solves problems of inequality.

Bill invited Jay Leno to gab on his "Club Random" podcast, and B.M. did not mince words, calling out the left -- "virtue signaling and the stuff that they do just to make themselves feel better about being allies." He says it does nothing to address the problem the left says it's solving.

Bill asks, “You want to be a good ally?" He says there are 3 ways to make things better ... “Better schools. Don’t graduate kids who don’t know anything and have no skills. More dads. End the drug war. Those are the practical things, and that’s not what they care about talking about.”

The most wonderful time of the year always comes with a full slate of basketball matchups ... which means it's also TMZ Sports' cue to present the wives and girlfriends of the NBA's Christmas Day games!!

The first matchup is at the iconic Madison Square Garden where the New York Knicks will host the San Antonio Spurs ... and Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart's wives, Ali and Shannon, will certainly be rooting for the home team.

Chris Paul's wife, Jada, will likely be there, too ... as this could very well be the last holiday game for the future Hall of Fame guard, who's in his 20th season.

Suspected Idaho murderer Bryan Kohberger could have had more practice than anyone thought before he allegedly killed 4 University of Idaho students ... turns out he was under investigation for a home invasion that had many of the markings of the savage murders.

The home invasion went down in Pullman, Washington in late 2021, a little more than a year before the Univ. of Idaho murders in a town just a few miles away.

A woman in the house told cops, "I heard my door open and I looked over, and someone was wearing a ski mask and had a knife."

A brazen bandit looked more like he was trying out for a role in a Quentin Tarantino movie instead of robbing a Walgreens in Tennessee because he used double-fisted guns to commit the wild crime.

The Memphis PD released surveillance footage Tuesday, showing the thief storming inside the store with two machine pistols — one clutched in each hand.

Check out the shocking footage ... the masked suspect spreads his arms like a butterfly, pointing the firearms at workers on either side of him, while demanding money during Sunday's stick-up.

Paris Hilton gave everyone a XMAS present and wrapped it with a bow!!!

The hotel heiress posted a XMAS message to all her fans, and she's pretty much in the nude, save for a strategically-placed bow that traverses her bod.

The married mom of 2 looks amazing -- dare we say better than ever -- as she mugged for the cam at her Bev Hills mansion.

It's the most wonderful time of the year for Timothy Simons ... because the holidays mean it's time to gather with family and talk about the incest coffee commercial he infamously worked on.

We got Timothy at LAX and our photog asked him about the Folgers Christmas commercial from 2009, colloquially known as the Folgers Incest Ad.

Timothy tells us he directed some of the auditions for the commercial, which features a brother and a sister being super flirty when he comes home for Christmas.

The first night of Hanukkah kicks off just before sundown, and these celebs are showing you how it's done -- lighting the menorah, spinning some dreidels and spending time with their loved ones!

Josh Peck lit the menorah in the comfort of his own home and Mark Zuckerberg followed suit and snapped a photo of him gathered with his kiddos in front of the flame.

Former pro footballer Julian Edelman and his daughter Lily Rose sat at the table and celebrated the festival of lights -- even including their furry family member by placing a kippah on the pup's head!
