Lady Gaga Quits Twitter
Lady Gaga is quitting Twitter, but not to worry, her hiatus could be a brief one if just a few of her 7 million followers open up their wallets and donate to a good cause.
Called to action by Alicia Keys and her Keep a Child Alive charity, Gaga, the Kardashian sisters, Justin Timberlake and other A-list celebs will quit Twitter and ditch Facebook this Wednesday December 1 in honor of World AIDS Day, returning only after text donations to Keep a Child Alive reach the $1 million mark. This dreaded yet very worthy social media-free time, dubbed the Digital Life Sacrifice, aims to provide medical assistance to families affected by AIDS in Africa and India.

Brad Paisley and Sheryl Crow Celebrate a Country Christmas
Brad Paisley and Sheryl Crow Celebrate a Country Christmas
When Brad Paisley was a little boy, the best Christmas gifts he ever received included a tent that he pitched in his living room that "stayed up until New Year's," a Battlestar Galactica model kit and most special of all, a guitar his grandfather gave him when he was eight. "Nothing changed my life like that Christmas gift," he says.
Those memories are just some of the holiday stories shared by the country stars appearing on CMA Country Christmas, a TV special airing Monday night (9:30 p.m. ET) on ABC.
Between performances from Kellie Pickler ("Santa Baby), LeAnn Rimes ("Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree"), Sheryl Crow and Brad Paisley (singing a duet of "Run, Run Rudolph") and Darius Rucker (who will sing a new holiday tune), country music's biggest names will share new and old family traditions:
• Martina McBride reveals a favorite Christmas dinner dish – a salad made with marshmallows, pimento cheese, pineapple and whipped topping. "It sounds disgusting, but it's so good," she says.
• Jennifer Nettles admits she was a little too curious as a little girl at Christmastime. "I would look for things," the Sugarland singer says, "and in order to dissuade me, my mother told me if I came across Santa, he would throw pepper in my eyes."
