This Christmas, Santa's Got a Brand New Blog!
Forget checking his list; this year Santa Claus will be checking
his Blog to find out the peoples' choice for the Top 10 Nicest
and 10 Naughtiest Celebrities of 2005!
Ever since the North Pole got broadband access in 2004, Santa
has been on a crusade to use the power of the Internet for good
- for goodness' sake. In a giant step toward fulfilling this
mission, this year he set up his very first Blog - called The
Jingle Blog.
Like many famous politicos and pundits before him, Santa
realized he needed an easy and effective way to stay in touch
with his fan base - and to mobilize them to take action. In his
own words, "a Blog seemed like the best possible way for me to
tap into the hearts and minds of believers the world over - and
to inspire them to spread good cheer 365 days a year."
Among other things, The Jingle Blog includes a 101 day Christmas
Countdown and links to some of the top Christmas sites. Starting
today, it will also include a historic voting poll that will
help Santa Claus to compile the results of The 2nd Annual Top 10
Celebrity Naughty & Nice Lists of 2005.
In 2004, Santa left it to the Elves to nominate and select the
winners. At the top of the Nice List, they voted for Oprah
Winfrey, Ellen Degeneres and Barry Manilow, among others. The
2004 Celebrity Naughty List was left blank, since the Elves
couldn't bear to say that anyone was less than nice.
Immediately after the 2004 winners were announced -a storm of
controversy rocked The North Pole. Celebrities who didn't make
The Nice List cried "foul" - questioning the veracity and
motivation of the Elves. And while Santa flatly refused to
entertain any suggestion of Elfish wrongdoing - he was happy to
do whatever he could to make the 2005 voting process more
transparent to the celebrities.
This year, for the first time in history, Santa's Celebrity
Naughty and Nice List will be decided on by the people -- not
the Elves. "I've set up The Jingle Blog so that people can vote
for their favorite Naughty and Nice Celebrities and share any
special comments they may have directly with me."
According to Entertainment Tonight, "No List since 'The A List'
has ever garnered as much attention among Hollywood's elite as
Santa's Naughty and Nice Lists." And the tension in Tinsel Town
is rapidly mounting as actors, directors, singers, comedians and
wannabes of every variety try frantically to show Santa they
rightfully belong on The Nice (not Naughty) List before the
December 24th cutoff!
