The results are too cute! They look adorable hamming it up for the camera on Dave's phone.

Also DL's medical explanations for his and Stone's appearances in the images are spot on.

Looks like you guys are having a blast! Enjoy the merriment below:

Ho, Ho, Ho Merry "Club Christmas"

Following the smash releases of Club Christmas, Club Christmas 2, Club Christmas 3 and Ultimate Club Christmas, D1 Music presents the final album in the collection, Club Christmas Greatest Hits. Club Christmas Greatest Hits features the most popular songs from all previous Club Christmas albums, including remixed takes on popular classics like “O Holy Night”, “The Little Drummer Boy” and even “Frosty the Snowman."

Club Christmas is the brainchild of Peter McLean, founder of the independent dance music label, D1 Music, and Keith Kemper. 

“The idea was to put a spin on classic Christmas tunes and remix them to reflect the music our fans appreciate,” states Peter McLean. 

So I decided to hit up D1 Music founder extraordinaire, Peter McLean as to what his personal favorite Holiday songs are, here is what he told Entertain Me:

Silent Night - a song that captures and inspires peace. 

Little Drummer Boy - one of the most rhythmic Christmas carols and as a dance music producer that is very appealing. 

O Holy Night - a powerful Christmas anthem that really raises the ceiling and you can't help but try for that high note at the end...but only singers like Celine Dion can hit it!!! LOL 

Frosty The Snowman - this always puts a smile on my face. Who doesn't like a little fun at Christmas? 

What Child Is This - musically this song is one of the most beautiful Christmas songs and it has become popular again in recent years.

Club Christmas Greatest Hits Tracklisting:

1. Feliz Navidad 3:39 
2. Frosty The Snowman 3:56 
3. Silent Night 2:34 
4. What Child Is This 6:02 
5. The Little Drummer Boy 3:17 
6. O Christmas Tree 3:04 
7. Sleigh Bells 3:50 
8. The First Noel 3:16 
9. O Holy Night 3:48 
10. Away In A Manger 5:17 

11. Christmas Medley (Bonus Track) 9:25

Margaret Cho & Heather McDonald Are "All About Sex"

Margaret Cho: Come Up & See Me Sometime

Heather McDonald: I Really Don't Use My Teeth

SATURDAY NIGHT IS “ALL ABOUT SEX”

TLC’s new weekly late night talk show headlined by Margaret Cho,

Heather McDonald, Marissa Jaret Winokur and Dr. Tiffanie Davis Henry

tackles love, sex, and relationships

Every man's got his patience, and here's where mine ends

I want your sex, I want your love
I want your sex, I want your sex - "I Want Your Sex" George Michael

It’s 11pm on a Saturday night, and in bedrooms and bars across the country, many minds are starting to think about S-E-X. Starting January 10, TLC can guarantee you’ll get lucky with the network’s first-ever late-night talk show ALL ABOUT SEX. Featuring the wild, insightful, and relatable opinions and ideas of four incredibly different and accomplished women - Margaret Cho, Heather McDonald, Marissa Jaret Winokur and Dr. Tiffanie Davis Henry – the weekly series will take on the latest headlines, break down the “behind closed doors” conversations about sex and love, and connect with women via social media to answer question and dispel misconceptions about what could be considered America’s favorite pastime.

TLC has ordered six half-hour episodes, airing Saturdays at 11pm, following premieres of the network’s hit series SEX SENT ME TO THE ER.

Each week will bring a rotating selection of segments, including observations on the week’s craziest sex-related news, open conversations about love and marriage, taking viewer calls and social media inquiries regarding their relationship challenges, and helping demystify the kinds of questions that you’re too embarrassed to even Google yourself. Blending together their unique perspectives, diverse backgrounds, and a hell of a lot of humor, spending a half-hour with the women of ALL ABOUT SEX will be even better than some post-coitus cuddling.

About the hosts:

Margaret Cho: A bi-sexual, Margaret could be called “Queen of all Media,” conquering film, television, books and theatre, with an Emmy nomination, Grammy nominations, sold-out tours, and off-Broadway and TV shows under her belt. She is also passionate about, and widely recognized for, her charitable work with gay rights and anti-bullying campaigns.

Heather McDonald: A virgin until age 27, now a overscheduled mom of three, Heather is New York Times bestseller and Chelsea Lately favorite who doesn’t hold back on anything. Her many talents also include headlining several sold-out stand-up tours and as a collaborator and writer on several Wayans Brothers films.

Marissa Jaret Winokur: She’s a mom first, and maybe a wife second – she admits that she would rather eat popcorn at bedtime than have sex with her husband. Marissa is well known as a Tony Award winner for playing “Tracy Turnblad” in the hit Broadway musical Hairspray, and as the fan-favorite on the hit ABC series Dancing With the Stars.

Dr. Tiffanie Davis Henry: A premiere sex and relationship expert, based in Atlanta, GA with over 14 years of experience working with individuals and couples as a treatment provider and educator. Dr. Tiffanie's mission has been to help people create the love and intimacy that they want. She is a regular contributor to a variety of publications and television programs.

Viewers can join the conversation by Tweeting questions using the hashtag #AllAboutSexTLC.

ALL ABOUT SEX is produced by Relativity Television and Ellen Rakieten Entertainment for TLC.

PRE-SALE TICKETS ON SALE THIS FRIDAY, DECEMBER 12

CHO READIES 2015 TOUR DATES

MARGARET CONTINUES HER BUSKING EFFORTS FOR THE HOMELESS IN HONOR OF THE LATE ROBIN WILLIAMS

Margaret Cho has always been a rule breaker who has marched to the beat of her own "Little Drummer Boy" - This year and 2015 are no exceptions....It's Cho Time!

Three time Grammy and Emmy nominee, comedian Margaret Cho has announced she will make her return to New York City in March to film her brand new Stand Up Comedy Special at The Gramercy Theater. These shows in the Big Apple will be her first in over 2 years.

Margaret has been criss-crossing the country with brand new material over the last several months and said: I'm so thrilled to announce that I will be filming my new special at the Gramercy Theatre in NYC on March 7th (additional show on March 6 will not be filmed) and I want you to come! This is my most exciting show to date and I can't wait to share it with you. This show is all about the insanity in the world – it’s called “there’s no “I” in Team, but there is a “Cho” in Psycho.”   I've been saving NYC just for this, so please join me for this party. It's going to be legendary!

Pre-sale starts on Friday, December 12th at 10:00 A.M. EST until Saturday, December 13 at 10:00 P.M. EST and the password is Moran.    The general public on-sale will begin Monday, December 15 at 12:00 noon EST.

Margaret has toured all over the world and Bust magazine attended her show in Paris saying: “Ms. Cho put on a hysterically funny 90-minute set.  It was the most explicit and painfully honest performance I’ve ever seen from her giving it 100%.” 

Recently, Margaret has been living in her hometown of San Francisco and giving back to the homeless community in honor of the late Robin Williams.  Margaret was so inspired by Robin’s activism that she has decided to get out on the streets herself in his honor for the work he did throughout his life with Comic Relief.   “I found that I could not stop grieving Robin Williams and I spoke to my friend Michael Pritchard, who is a mutual friend of mine and Robin's and he said, "Don't grieve Robin, be Robin". So this is what I thought I should do. I should go and make a little Comic Relief, a little baby one. And I encourage anyone to do this in their town.”

It's Penis Time! Lance Bass, Fortune Feimster & Michael Turchin

We Love Penises! L - R Lance Bass, Fortune Feimster & Michael Turchin 

I had a penis themed bachelor party, and I liked it, or eve more fitting perhaps, licked it!

Yesterday night Lance Bass and husband to be Michael Turchin got their freak on at a surprise bachelor party at The Abbey in West Hollywood, CA. 

Good friend and funny lady former Chelsea Lately star Fortune Feimster captured the naughty time on Instagram. 

Which included, but by no means was limited to - Lap dancing studs, X-rated cups with straws to accessorize them. Along with dirty necklaces and several different penis shaped party favors. Booyah! 

Going Down? Lance Bass & Fortune Feimster 

"Enjoying some penises with @lancebass at his Bachelor party! #LanceLovesMichael," Feimster captioned the above photo.

So what I want to see is what was not documented for the camera! Congratulations guys to the happy couple who are getting hitched on December 20th. The ceremony will be filmed for E! 

Countdown with Lance to his wedding day at:
