A bit similar to the wildly popular 'guess the music artist' game, here you can guess the celebrity! This relates to the holiday season of course, because of lights and stars and OHHH do I really need to spell it out for you?

First Celebrity:

This cute American with the big, friendly smile and oddly spelled first name is an Emmy-award winning television personality and has written several cookbooks based on the success of her show. Though her simple cooking recipes that can be prepared in 30 minutes or less made her well-known, she admits that she cannot bake or even make coffee. Some of her catch phrases are 'yum-o,' 'so delish,' and 'oh my gravy!'

This American rich kid does all the clichéd things that are usual for celebutantes. She is an actress, model, singer, author and TV personality. Repeatedly charged with driving violations, this girl who takes the dumb blonde reputation to new heights was sentenced to spend time in a 'correctional institution.' Because some people are just too rich for jail, honestly. But somehow, I can't dislike her passionately the way so many people seem to do. To me, she is just a regular, rich blonde with her signature tiny dog, confused about why the world thinks she needs to be smarter. She just wants to be cute. When has that stopped being enough? grin
