American actor David Krumholtz was 16 years old when he landed the role of Bernard The Elf -- the grumpy head elf of Santa's workshop with an exceptional work ethic -- in the family holiday film "The Santa Clause" back in 1994.

David shared the comedic film with Tim Allen as the marketing director and recent divorcee-turned-Santa Clause, Scott Calvin... Eric Lloyd as Scott's son who wants nothing more than to believe in Santa, Charlie Calvin, and Wendy Crewson as Scott's ex-wife who believes her son should know the "truth" about Santa, Laura Miller.

Over the years, Krumholtz reprised his role as Bernard The Elf ... most recently last year on Disney+'s "The Santa Clauses."

El reinado de Mariah Carey como la reina de la Navidad continua, ya que viajó hasta D.C. para contagiar un poco de alegría festiva en la Casa Blanca.

En un post compartido en su cuenta de Instagram el miércoles, la cantante fue vista con el Presidente Joe Biden y sus gemelos de 12 años, Moroccan y Monroe.

Vistiendo un mini vestido brillante y una chaqueta recortada a juego, Mariah estaba en su salsa, ya que también se tomó algunas fotos con Kamala Harris y su marido Doug Emhoff.

En el pie de foto de IG, Mariah habló de la gran decoración festiva que vio durante la visita, que tuvo lugar la semana pasada con sus hijos.

Los gemelos han estado apareciendo mucho últimamente en las aventuras relacionadas con la Navidad de su mamá. Recientemente, también aparecieron en el video musical de la versión actualizada de su clásico, "All I Want For Christmas Is You".

Mariah Carey's reign as the Queen of Xmas is only getting stronger ... as she journeyed to D.C. to spread some festive cheer at the White House.

In a post shared to her IG Wednesday, the singer posed with President Joe Biden ... with her 12-year-old twins Moroccan and Monroe in tow.

Wearing a glittering minidress and matching cropped jacket for some extra Christmas flare, Mariah was in her element as she also got snap-happy with Kamala Harris & her hubby Doug Emhoff.

In the caption, Mariah gushed about all the extensive festive decor she saw during the visit ... which took place last week with her brood.

The twins have been popping up a lot lately in their momma's Christmas-related ventures ... most recently in the music vid for the upgraded version of her classic, "All I Want For Christmas Is You."

Myles Turner pulled out all the stops for the Pacers' Star Wars night on Wednesday ... showing up to the arena decked out in a Han Solo costume -- and enlisting a stunning Princess Leia to join him!!

Of course, the Pacers center is a big-time nerd (we say that with love) ... so it's no surprise he was planning to go full send when the team announced the Dec. 20 matchup against the Charlotte Hornets would be all about the wildly successful movie franchise.

Myles is pretty open about his fandom for all things fantasy ... and takes advantage of any opportunity to put it on display for his followers -- like when he and his lady threw on some Hogwarts garb for their Harry Potter-themed Halloween costumes this year.

In fact, the team even showed Myles dressed up with a robe and lightsaber on him as part of Wednesday's promotion -- a limited edition Star Wars shirt, hot dog, chips and a Pepsi product included with a $25 ticket!!

There will be a ton of other Star Wars-themed events throughout the game ... including activities in the concourse and in-game entertainment.

As for his Leia, Myles has kept her identity pretty private ... so no info on the girlfriend outside of what he's shared on social media.

Heisman Trophy winner Jayden Daniels is giving back to the community for Christmas ... partnering with Raising Cane's to deliver hundreds of bicycles to a Boys and Girls club.

The Louisiana State University quarterback, who recently won college football's most famous award, donated 100 bikes Monday to the Boys and Girls Club and Big Buddy organizations in Baton Rouge.

Jayden and Raising Cane's founder Todd Graves also donated $20,000 to the Greg Brooks Jr. Victory Fund ... a fundraiser for Jayden's LSU teammate who is battling a rare form of brain cancer.

"This is something that I always wanted to do is to just give back,” Jayden said on Monday. "Me growing up, I always wanted to be seen as a role model."

Meanwhile, in Arizona, actor Rob Schneider helped deliver 100 bikes to the Boys and Girls Club of the Valley in Phoenix ... also courtesy of Raising Cane's.

ScHoolboy Q hasn't released a new album in over 4 years ... a quiet streak the rapper says he plans on ending next year!!!

While attending Top Dawg Entertainment's 10th annual Christmas toy drive on Wednesday, Q gave props to his team -- he says they actively help the community even when it's not a holiday but still loved seeing everyone come together.

Q also performed classic cuts, like his 2016 platinum Kanye West collab "THat Part" ... but did promise he'll return in 2024 with "something special."

L.A. rapper EastSide K-Boy suggested Q should get his comedy show -- an idea Q didn't reject -- but his fans wouldn't be surprised if his homecoming somehow incorporated golf ... a sport he's gotten into much more, and not just for fun.

Q's been playing in big, legit tournaments -- he competed in the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am in 2022 and even appears in the "PGA Tour 2K23" video game.

Top Dawg Entertainment threw its annual Christmas ... marking yet another holiday hit for the community that birthed the rap music powerhouse.

As they've done for the past 10 years, TDE talent put on a concert and toy drive at the Nickerson Garden Apartments in Watts, California Tuesday ... SZA, who had a HUGE year thanks to her "S.O.S." album performed several cuts for those in attendance.

The "Snooze" writer reunited with her labelmate Ab-Soul, who also performed, as did ScHoolboy Q, SiR, Zacari and their invited guest 310Babii.

Jay Rock and YG dominated the headlining set ... and also hung out beforehand, giving fans plenty of photo ops.

TDE CEO Anthony "Top Dawg" Tiffith was spotted connecting with the people and artists. The event is slated to continue Wednesday in Compton, where they'll set up a job fair, offer free barber services and dole out hundreds of gifts to kids.

Top Dawg Entertainment (TDE) lanzó su Navidad anual, convirtiéndose en otro éxito para la comunidad que dio a luz a la potencia de la música rap.

Como lo han venido haciendo durante los últimos 10 años, el equipo de TDE organizó un concierto y una colecta de juguetes en el Nickerson Garden Apartments en Watts, California el martes. SZA, que tuvo un año INCREÍBLE gracias a su álbum "S.O.S." estuvo allí interpretando varias canciones para los asistentes.

La autora de "Snooze" se reunió con su compañero de sello Ab-Soul, que también actuó, al igual que ScHoolboy Q, SiR, Zacari y su invitado 310Babii.

Jay Rock y YG dominaron el set y también pasaron el rato antes, regalándole a los fans un montón de fotos.

El CEO de TDE Anthony "Top Dawg" Tiffith fue visto conectando con la gente y los artistas. Está programado que el evento continúe el miércoles en Compton, donde instalarán una feria de empleo, ofrecerán servicios de peluquería gratuitos y repartirán cientos de regalos a los niños.

Madonna's on Santa's naughty list this year -- and while he looked totally down to revel in some fun smut at her concert, it ended up costing him with an onstage fall.

The singer brought out a Claus -- classic red suit and all -- during Tuesday night's stop in D.C. for her "Celebration" tour, and it looks like they were attempting to do some kind of edgy lap dance sequence with him and some of her backup dancers.

SC plopped down on a chair, waiting for his treats -- with Madonna standing nearby to monitor the choreography. When the dancer finally mounted him ... they both went tumbling.

Nobody was hurt or anything, but it was a lil' embarrassing ... especially for the jolly man, who should be plenty used to folks on his lap by now.

Funny enough, no one skipped a beat in the moment. The dancer who went down immediately got back to poppin'/lockin' (even from the floor) ... and Madge continued handling mic duties like nothing happened -- all of this while Saint Nick was slowly trying to get up.

Who needs Santa Claus when you're Ryan Garcia?!

The 25-year-old boxing star just treated himself to two early Christmas gifts weeks after his knockout win ... a brand-new Cadillac truck and an Audi R8!

The super lightweight flexed his new rides Tuesday on Instagram ... a matte black Caddy that he copped from Audi Fletcher Jones in Costa Mesa, CA, about an hour outside Los Angeles.

"Fully armored Cadillac," Garcia said. "Grenade resistant."

Ryan also took home a dark grey Audi R8 two-seater sports car, something Garcia has badly wanted for a long time.

The 24-1 boxer has every right to spoil himself this holiday season, and it's well deserved ... RG bounced back after his first loss ever which came at the hands of Gervonta 'Tank' Davis in April, one of the biggest fights of this year. Ryan returned and knocked out Oscar Duarte Jurado in the 8th round earlier this month at the Toyota Center in Houston.

"A lot of hard work and commitment has been put in and it’s paying off," Garcia said on IG. "To be clear not just in a materialistic way but it’s just one example of you reaping what you sow."

"Thank you, God for providing strength in everything I do and allowing me the opportunity to work hard Love you with all my heart ❤️"

Madonna está en la lista de chicas malas de Santa Claus este año y aunque parecía totalmente dispuesto a deleitarse con un poco de diversión obscena en su concierto, terminó costándole con una caída.

La cantante sacó a un Claus  —con su clásico traje rojo— durante el show del martes por la noche en D.C. de su gira "Celebration", y parece que estaban tratando de hacer algún tipo de secuencia de baile erótico con él y algunos de sus bailarines.

Santa se sentó en una silla y se preparó para la acción, con Madonna de pie cerca para supervisar la coreografía. Cuando el bailarín finalmente lo montó... los dos se cayeron.

Nadie resultó herido ni nada pero fue un poco embarazoso, especialmente para Santa, que se llevó la peor parte.

Curiosamente, el show continuó como si nada. El bailarín que cayó inmediatamente volvió a moverse (incluso desde el suelo) y la diva continuó manejando el micrófono como si nada hubiera pasado, todo esto mientras Santa intentaba levantarse lentamente.

Macaulay Culkin's family in 'Home Alone' was certainly presented as wealthy in the flick -- but as it turns out, they were actually in the top 1% ... according to real-world economists.

The NYT asked a question that's been on movie lovers' minds for years now -- just how rich were the McCallisters??? They ended up consulting experts at the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago -- plus diving into a ton of other research -- to get somewhat of a clear answer.

For starters, the outlet went to real estate sites like Realtor.com to gauge where exactly they lived in Chi-Town -- and about how much their mansion might've cost back in the late '80s/early '90s, the period in which the film is depicted. 'Memba, it came out in 1990.

Per the Times, the house that was used as the famous exterior for 'HA' actually belongs to a super ritzy burb in Chicago called Winnetka -- one of the most expensive neighborhoods in America. Based on median incomes for folks who lived there back in the day ... the economists the NYT consulted peg the McCallisters as a likely $305,000/year household.

Mind you, they landed on that amount for the time period ... so, adjusted for inflation, that comes out to about $665,000/year in 2022. In other words, they're pretty GD rich.

Now, in terms of how Kevin McCallister and co. made that type of money and what his parents might've done for work -- the Times uses context clues in the movie to speculate that the mom was a successful fashion designer, and that pops was a general businessman.

It's a pretty fascinating deep dive into the beloved classic -- and if they were, in fact, as ballin' as the Times suggests ... it makes sense why the Wet Bandits targeted their home.

La familia de Macaulay Culkin en "Solo en casa" se presentaba como rica en la película, pero resulta que en realidad estaba en el 1% más rico, según los economistas del mundo real.

El NYT se hizo una pregunta que lleva años rondando por la cabeza de los amantes del cine: ¿qué tan ricos eran los McCallister? Terminaron consultando a expertos en el Banco de la Reserva Federal de Chicago, además de sumergirse en una tonelada de otras investigaciones para obtener una respuesta clara.

Para empezar, el medio acudió a sitios de bienes raíces como Realtor.com para medir dónde vivían exactamente en Chi-Town y sobre cuánto podría haber costado su mansión a finales de los años 80 y principios de los 90, el período en el que se representa la película. Recordemos que se estrenó en 1990.

Según el Times, la casa que se utilizó como el famoso exterior en realidad pertenece a un barrio muy lujoso de Chicago llamado Winnetka, uno de los barrios más caros de Estados Unidos. Basándose en los ingresos medios de la gente que vivía allí en aquella época, los economistas consultados por el NYT sitúan a los McCallister probablemente en 305.000 dólares al año.

Además, calcularon ese monto pensando en aquel entonces. Si hacemos el cálculo pensando en el 2022, la suma es de ¡665.000 dólares al año! En otras palabras, son bastante ricos.

Ahora, en términos de cómo Kevin McCallister y compañía hicieron ese tipo de dinero y lo que sus padres podrían haber hecho para conseguirlo, el Times utiliza pistas de contexto en la película para especular que la mamá era una exitosa diseñadora de moda y el papá era un hombre de negocios en general.

Es una inmersión profunda bastante fascinante de un amado clásico. Si eran tan ricos como sugiere el Times, tiene sentido qué los Bandidos Mojados la tuvieran en la mira.

Jason Mewes está pasando de cómico fumado a candidato a padre del año, porque tuvo un papel importante bailando ballet en la producción de su hija de "El Cascanueces".

Jay actuó en la obra de su hija Logan a principios de este mes, bailando junto a otros papás del elenco.

Nos dicen que Logan vio el 'Cascanueces' la pasada Navidad en la Escuela de Ballet Marat Daukayev en Los Ángeles y le encantó tanto, que hizo que sus padres la inscribieran en las clases de ballet de la escuela.

Los ensayos para la obra de este año han estado sucediendo desde al menos octubre, que es cuando Jason se convirtió en un papá bailarín.

Nos dicen que Jason fue abordado por primera vez por Pamela Daukayev, directora ejecutiva de la escuela y la esposa de Marat, con Jason de acuerdo a pesar de no tener ni idea de lo que implica ser un bailarín.

Las responsabilidades de Jason en el ballet incluían 4 bailes en el escenario con el vestuario de la bailarina Lola Vernetti, además de ayudar a los otros 27 padres bailarines a ayudar al equipo y mover los muebles y las piezas del decorado entre las escenas. No es tarea fácil por decir lo menos.

Nos dicen que Jason ensayó varias veces a la semana antes del gran espectáculo y también participó en ensayos técnicos diarios en el escenario la semana antes de la actuación.

Al parecer Logan es una buena bailarina y nos informan que ganó una rutina de ballet en la escena Pulcinella... un ballet de 21 secciones.

Jason siente que esta experiencia es uno de sus mejores momentos como padre, y Logan estaba orgullosa de tenerlo en el escenario con ella.

Jason Mewes is going from stoner comedian to candidate for father of the year ... because he had a big role dancing ballet in his daughter's production of "The Nutcracker."

Jay performed in his daughter Logan's play earlier this month, dancing alongside other dads of the cast.

It sounds like Jason's daddy-daughter ballet gig was a year in the making ... we're told Logan saw the 'Nutcracker' last Christmas at the Marat Daukayev School of Ballet in Los Angeles and loved it so much, she had her parents enroll her in the school's ballet classes.

Rehearsals for this year's play have been going on since at least October, which is when Jason was approached about being a Dancing Dad.

We're told Jason was first approached by Pamela Daukayev, the school's executive director and Marat's wife, with Jason agreeing despite having no clue what being a Dancing Dad entailed.

Jason's ballet responsibilities included 4 dances onstage in costume with ballerina Lola Vernetti ... plus helping the other 27 Dancing Dads assist the crew and move furniture and set pieces between scenes. No easy task to say the least.

We're told Jason rehearsed several times a week leading up to the big show ... and he also participated in daily tech rehearsals onstage the week before the performance.

Logan sounds like a pretty good dancer herself ... we're told she earned a demi-solo ballet routine in the Pulcinella scene -- a 21-section ballet.

We're told Jason feels the experience is one of his best moments as a father ... and Logan was proud to have him onstage with her.

Mariah Carey está haciendo un poco de terapia de compras en su lugar favorito en esta época del año, pero lo está haciendo sola, justo cuando los rumores comienzan a sonar más fuerte sobre su vida amorosa.

La cantante de "All I Want For Christmas Is You" está disfrutando de las fiestas en Aspen —su viaje anual— y lució fabulosa el martes de blanco mientras iba de compras sola.

La excursión en solitario viene directamente a los talones de la especulación de que le ha puesto fin a su larga relación con su novio Bryan Tanaka.

Es interesante ver a la autoproclamada Reina de la Navidad sin Bryan a medida que se acercan las fiestas, porque él tampoco ha estado en absoluto durante su gira "Merry Christmas One and All!".

Mariah y Bryan han pasado la Navidad juntos en Aspen en el pasado, por lo que su ausencia es bastante evidente y solo alimenta las especulaciones de que se han separado después de 7 años.
