The Rockefeller Christmas Tree will be lit tonight.  And this year it features — Bat Boy ornaments!

Mariah Carey and Susan Boyle will take the stage at tonight’s Christmas tree lightning ceremony at New York City’s famed Rockefeller Center.   The highlight of the event will be the unveiling of the Bat Boy ornaments – used for the first time.

Here’s a couple of the ornaments placed on the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree:

Two stars, who both recently released holiday LPs, will be joined by Jessica Simpson, Josh Groban and Welsh mezzo-soprano Katherine Jenkins for the Christmas In Rockefeller Center televised broadcast.

‘Pyramid’ singer Charice and rocker Sheryl Crow are to perform as well.

Swedish supermodel, Anna Hofverberg, will join Bat Boy on the ice rink.  They will perform a routine to Bat Boy’s favorite Miley Cyrus song, “Can’t Be Tamed.”   For the first time in pairs skating, a woman will toss a man in the air. Hofverberg thinks she can toss him high enough to complete a quadruple axle with a triple twist and a head plant.

This year’s 74-foot Norway spruce tree was donated by the Acton family of Mahopac, New York.

The tree lighting ceremony has been held annually in New York City since Rockefeller Plaza opened in 1933.

CHICAGO, IL – Jessica Simpson appeared on Oprah to discuss among other things her weight and John Mayer. Long time friend Tonya was there for support!

Jessica Simpson is making headlines again and not exactly for the best of reasons. Her relationship with ex-boyfriend John Mayer has been placed in a new light after some ill-advised comments by Mayer. In addition, critics have once again jumped all over her weight issues. She appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show yesterday to shed some clarity on her life. Tonya, the world’s fattest cat, was there to lend support.

“She’s been a close friend of the Simpsons for years,” said a spokeswoman for Tonya. “In the midst of this new media storm about her life, Jessica reached out to Tonya once again for support and Tonya did not hesitate.”

Simpson addressed the matter of John Mayer first. She told Winfrey that she felt betrayed by his words and actions and that she would not accept an apology from him.

“Sexually it was crazy,” said Mayer of their relationship in Playboy magazine. “It was like napalm, sexual napalm. Did you ever say, ‘I want to quit my life and just f—ing snort you? If you charged me $10,000 to f— you, I would start selling all my s— just to keep f—ing you,” he so eloquently added.

Simson “hopes he gets his life together” but says she hasn’t accepted his apology and that part of her life is over.

Next the two moved on to her weight issues. The singer/actress told Winfrey that she is “absolutely” happy with her body. “I love my curves,” she said. “I’m not going to ever be size 0 and I don’t want to weigh 90 pounds.”

The two continued to address her weight issues but one could sense a confidence and inner happiness from Simpson. Whether Tonya is to thank for that is unknown, but the moral support sure didn’t hurt.

“I’ve been with her the last few days leading up to the interview. We talked about everything and laid all her feelings on the table,” Tonya said through her spokeswoman. “The most important thing I tried to accomplish was to reassure her that she’s beautiful, no matter what others think. I told her that Big is Beautiful and that Bigger is Better.”

NEW YORK, NY – John Mayer, known as somewhat of a bad boy, has gotten himself in quite the pickle over his choice of words in a Playboy interview!

John Mayer has landed in hot water over his use of the “N Word” in a recent Playboy interview. As any celebrity does nowadays, Mayer took to his twitter page to apologize. “I am sorry that I used the word. I should have never said the word and I will never say it again,” Mayer proclaimed in a series of tweets.

In his interview, Mayer talked about sex, his former girlfriends Jennifer Aniston and Jessica Simpson, and about black women and his lack of a “hood pass”, which by many were seen as racist comments. Mayer said, “Someone asked me the other day, ‘What does it feel like now to have a hood pass?’ And by the way, it’s sort of a contradiction in terms, because if you really had a hood pass, you could call it a n—– pass.”

Mayer made sure that wasn’t his only controversial statement. In regards to his sex life, Mayer said he doesn’t date black women because his penis is “sort of like a white supremacist.”

His remarks have created a whole storm of controversy and outrage. “John Mayer should not open his mouth unless he is singing,” said Joell Ortiz on his Twitter page. Singer, Marwa, also added, “Damn John Mayer; he is racist.” This is certainly not Mayer’s first lapse in judgement. It almost seems as though once we start t forget about his last incident, he gives us something new to think about.

Clean up on aisles 1 through 10. You’re on mop duty John Mayer!

LOS ANGELES, CA – Jessica Simpson is dating Billy Corgan, sources close to the couple say she likes him to dress up like Bat Boy!

Simpson, 29, and Corgan, 42, baffled friends and critics by announcing their relationship recently.  Corgan was the frontman of Smashing Pumpkins, a grunge band wildly popular in the mid-90′s.  Simpson, a pop musician famous for being famous says “Yeah, I think I had one of their albums in middle school!”  Corgan has been quoted saying about Simpson “She is the culmination of everything I used to stand against.  She is anathema to my artistic integrity.  But on the plus side, she’s hot and in her 20′s, so hey.”

Sources close to the couple admit that in the bedroom Jessica Simpson likes Billy Corgan to dress up like Bat Boy!  Originally from Texas Jessica grew up reading Weekly World News and at some point developed a crush on the mutant.  Sources say she gets the bald Corgan to put on fake pointy ears, dilate his pupils drastically, and wear cutoff denim shorts to look more like Bat Boy before romantic evenings in.  Neighbors confirm hearing loud bat like screeching from Corgan at odd hours of the night.  “At first we thought he was working on a new album.  But then it just kept going.”

Could this be a new trend in romance?  Will there be a mutant themed duet album?  More on this story as it develops.

PEMBROKE PINES, FL – Following a charity concert that served a buffet of criticism over her appearance, Jessica Simpson has turned to an old friend for support – Tonya!

The country-pop starlet has made her name on being a more wholesome alternative to her skin-flashing peers, but that has not stopped Simpson from playing up her looks and features.  The media and audience members alike took notice during the charity event that there seemed to be more of Simpson, and more undercover than usual.

“Now, I’m not one to make fun of people, or kick them when they’re down,” gossip columnist Perez Hilton said in a blog post.  “So all I’m going to say, all I’m going to point out, is that she had to wear two belts at that show.  Two Belts.  Two.”

Simpson reportedly took the blog post and media attention very hard.  She had her mother place a call to Tonya, the World’s Fattest Cat, an old friend of the Simpsons.

“Tonya could not be more pleased that Jessica looked to her for advice,” Tonya’s spokeswoman said in a statement to reporters in Florida.  “There is no one that has gotten more publicity, both good and bad, about her weight and size than Tonya.  She is the perfect person to help Jessica through this private time.”

Tonya spent several hours with Jessica and her mother watching a screener of “Nights in Rodanthe” and eating low-fat diet Healthy Choice Rocky Road ice cream.

“It was a relaxing and fun night,” Tonya said through her spokeswoman.  “I told Jessica that she is as beautiful as ever, no matter what people might be saying about her.  She should never be ashamed of her looks or body and she should never let people make her feel bad about herself.”

“I told her ‘Big is Beautiful!’  ‘Fat is All That!’ and The Bigger the Better!’  We toasted with an Root Beer float.”
