It’s Grammy Awards week in Los Angeles, and stars like Billie Eilish, Dua Lipa, Olivia Rodrigo, Luke Combs, Travis Scott and Joni Mitchell will soon be hitting the Crypto.com Arena stage.

The illustrious Paula Abdul, a name synonymous with music, dance, and philanthropy, will be recognized as the 2023 Humanitarian of the Year at the iconic Hollywood Christmas Parade on November 26, 2023.

This esteemed honor reflects the depth of her generosity and her unwavering commitment to giving back to the community.

Abdul’s spirit of compassion aligns perfectly with the Hollywood Christmas Parade, a cherished tradition that has been spreading holiday cheer and fostering community spirit for an incredible 91 years. Just as Abdul extends her philanthropic hand to organizations like Wigs & Wishes, Children’s Hospital LA, No Kid Hungry, American Humane Association, and Dancers Against Cancer, the Hollywood Christmas Parade proudly supports causes like Marine Toys for Tots, ensuring that underprivileged children experience the joy of the holiday season.

Kickstarting this year’s festivities will be none other than American war hero Colonel Paris D. Davis, a recent recipient of the prestigious Medal of Honor.

Chances are, if you’ve seen Sia onstage at any point in recent years, her face was most likely shielded by an oversize (and often very colorful) wig. But the Grammy-nominated singer and songwriter left the extra hair at home Sunday when she turned up to the Taglyan Complex in Los Angeles to attend the 5th Daytime Beauty Awards.

Not only did she take the stage and show off her full face, but what she revealed under the lights was also brand-new. “I’m a pop star that normally hides my face and doesn’t lie about shit,” explained the 47-year-old who has been candid during interviews about everything from depression and divorce to sobriety and creativity. “I got an amazing facelift from Dr. Talei. He is incredible. And he is doing so much good work — and not just for the pop stars of the world.”

Debra Messing assures us that David Schwimmer’s character on the upcoming 10th season of “Will & Grace” is nothing like his iconic “Friends” persona.
