Okay, fess up, Moms! Do you buy your entire family matching pajamas for the holidays? Check out these hilarious holiday pajamas that your entire family can sport this year, along with thoughts from real moms who are on both sides of the matching pajamas fence.

Moms who love them

A self-proclaimed sucker for pajama fun, mom of two in Seattle, Dana, says that she absolutely gets matching pajamas for her kids -- and for her husband and herself when she can find the same ones in adult sizes as well.

Tara, a Los Angeles mom to a 2-year-old, shares that even her mom and sister join in the matching pajama craziness. They've been busting out the matching Christmas pajamas for the past three years now.

Moms who just say no

On the other side of the matching pajama scene, Kelli tells SheKnows that her own mother has been making her wear matching Christmas pajamas since she was a child and even now, Kelli's mom insists on matching pajamas for the entire family on Christmas morning. Oh, and they have to pose for a family picture. As soon as that picture has been snapped, Kelli promptly changes her clothes.

Angie, a mom of three, agrees that matching pajamas for the entire family are just too much. And she adds, "If you're going to put your husband in pajamas with penguins on them, at least don't post them on Facebook for the world to see."

Matching holiday pajamas for every family

No matter what side of the matching family pajamas debate you're on, there's no denying that there are some hilarious matching family pajamas out there and, lucky for you, we've found some of the best for this holiday season.

Lindsay Lohan impresses at probation hearing

Lindsay Lohan received something she's never received before: A positive report from her probation judge!

Lindsay Lohan gets a glowing court report

Here's something we never see: Judge Stephanie Sautner giving Lindsay Lohan a glowing report during a probation hearing held Wednesday morning.

"Miss Lohan, you have actually done your work, and not only done it, but done it early," Sautner told the actress during the 10-minute court hearing. "Do more days a month and we can end this in February, possibly,"

"I think she likes to come see me. I think that's her motivation," Sautner joked, according to the Associated Press. This is a far cry from Lohan's last stop in court — she went to jail after that one.

Many Lohan watchers were concerned she'd take another step back in her probation after she missed her Tuesday flight from Hawaii. The actress was vacationing on the island state when her purse was stolen. It was later found, minus $10K of Lohan's cash.

She did miss a taping of Ellen, though. Lohan was supposed to be on the show to debut her Playboy magazine spread. Instead, Paris Jackson took her spot on the show.

Could this positive report mean the troubled starlet is putting her constant stream of trouble behind her? We'd like to think so, though we're not betting on it — yet.

One thing we do know? She's still intent on being this generation's Marilyn Monroe.

"Sex and sexuality are a part of nature, and I go along with nature," Lohan said in her Playboy interview. "I think Marilyn Monroe once said that. I certainly agree with her… Knowing yourself and your body is so important because it gives you confidence, and in life, women need confidence. It’s a very male-dominated world to begin with, so knowing yourself and being comfortable with your body is an important thing for me as a woman. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but this is mine."

Sorry, Lindsay — everyone knows Michelle Williams is actually this generation's Marilyn.

Do you think Lindsay Lohan is finally on the right track?

Elizabeth Taylor's jewels bring mega cash at auction

The late Elizabeth Taylor is living on -- through her jewelry! Find out how much her beloved baubles sold for at auction.

Elizabeth Taylor's memory is living on through her jewelry — the late actress' bauble collection raked in a whopping $115 million during an auction at Christie's in London.

Elizabeth Taylor jewelry auction fetches $115 million

 A pearl, diamond and ruby necklace called La Peregrina — given to Taylor by Richard Burton in 1969 — pulled in the biggest amount: $11.8 million. A 33.19-carat diamond ring — expected to sell for no more than $3.5 million — brought in an impressive $8.8 million.

Whoa!

That's not the only items from Taylor that were up for auction: 189 pieces — including scripts and other memorabilia — went on sale Wednesday with a portion of the proceeds going to the Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation.

Taylor passed away in March after battling health issues for several years.

The legendary Cleopatra actress had a lifetime love affair with jewelry that surpassed the tenure of her eight marriages. She even wrote about this love in her book Elizabeth Taylor: My Love Affair with Jewelry.

In the book, Taylor showed off photos of her favorite baubles and talked about the man and the story behind each piece like it was a child.

"First Mike put it around my neck and smiled," Taylor wrote of the ruby-and-diamond necklace given to her by third husband Mike Todd. "Then he bent down and put matching earrings on me. Next came the bracelet. Since there was no mirror around, I had to look into the water. The jewelry was glorious, rippling red on blue like a painting."

"I shrieked with joy, put my arms around Mike's neck, and pulled him into the pool after me," Taylor added. "It was a perfect summer day and a day of perfect love."

She was also in love with the 29.4-carat diamond engagement ring Todd gave her. "I take care of it. It's part of me, and I'm here to protect it," she wrote of the ring.

Taylor even described how she brought in the tiara trend when she wore one to the Academy Awards one year.

"When Mike gave me this tiara, he said, 'You're my queen, and I think you should have a tiara,'" Taylor wrote. "I wore it for the first time when we went to the Academy Awards. It was the most perfect night, because Mike's film Around the World in 80 Days won for Best Picture. It wasn't fashionable to wear tiaras then, but I wore it anyway, because he was my king."

Would you spend that much on Elizabeth Taylor's jewelry if you had the cash?

Derek Jeter gives autographs to his one-night stands

Derek Jeter's flings get parting gifts after they get down with the New York Yankees shortstop, according to the New York Post.

Derek Jeter gives autographs to his one-night stands

Imagine this scenario: You meet New York Yankees star Derek Jeter at a bar. One thing leads to another and you head back to his swank NYC apartment for the night. The next day, he calls you a private car and hands you a gift bag as you head out the door. Inside the gift bag? An autographed baseball and other Jeter swag.

Sounds like a horrible movie, right? Well, it actually happens, according to a report by the New York Post.

"Derek has girls stay with him at his apartment in New York, and then he gets them a car to take them home the next day. Waiting in his car is a gift basket containing signed Jeter memorabilia, usually a signed baseball," a Jeter 'friend' told the Post.

He even did it to the same girl twice, according to the source.

"This summer, he ended up hooking up with a girl who he had hooked up with once before, but Jeter seemed to have forgotten about the first time and gave her the same identical parting gift, a gift basket with a signed Derek Jeter baseball," the pal added to the paper.

"He basically gave her the same gift twice because he’d forgotten hooking up with her the first time!"

Ouch.

Apparently he's been up to quite a bit since breaking up with his longtime girlfriend, Minka Kelly. The couple was rumored to have reconciled earlier this fall, but we're assuming that's not happening now.

"He normally doesn't go out with girls. He will have them come to his house. He'll have cocktail parties. His friends invite girls they think he'll be interested in. He's very shy," another friend said.

"He'll occasionally take girls to a restaurant. He has a couple of restaurants that he goes to that aren't trendy," the friend said. "He goes to Nino's in New York. He used to go to Mustang Grill on the Upper East Side. I know he's been dating multiple girls. He likes a hole in the wall, or he likes a place that his friends own. He's very cautious. He'll only go out on off-nights."

Then it's back to the Casa de Jeter for some private time.

"The girls go through the back-door entrance in the Trump World Tower to avoid the paparazzi," the friend told the Post. "He broke up with Minka in the summer and is definitely over her. He is playing the field."

We've contacted Jeter's reps to get more on this ridiculous story. 

Apparently, the jilted girls can drown their sorrows in piles of cash — legit Jeter memorabilia can bring thousands from sports collectors.

Still, ew.

Who was snubbed by the SAG nominations?

The Screen Actors Guild recently announced their 2012 nominees. Unfortunately, they gave some top-tier talent the cold shoulder. Ryan Gosling, Michael Fassbender and Rooney Mara are just a few of the talented individuals who were snubbed by their peers.

Ryan Gosling

Wednesday morning, the Screen Actors Guild unveiled their nominees for this year's best performances in film and television. The theme for the 2012 ceremony must be girl power because The Help and Bridesmaids led pack in nominations. 

We're extremely excited about SAG's love for the ladies, but we couldn't help but notice a few omissions. Here are five of the biggest shut-outs missing from this year's list.

Michael Fassbender: Michael Fassbender has had an amazing year. He's managed to appear in five films, with the most daring and provocative being Steve McQueen's Shame. His performance is raw, emotional and brutally honest. If anyone deserves a nomination for acting, it's him.

Ryan Gosling: Like Fassbender, Ryan Gosling has had a busy 12 months. He starred in three films including Drive, where he plays an unlikely hero who takes on a local mobster. He also turned in stellar performances in the political drama The Ides of March and the comedy Crazy, Stupid, Love. Gosling has proven time and time again that he's one of the most talented actors of his generation. Unfortunately, the Screen Actors Guild has failed to see that.

Rooney Mara: Rooney Mara tackles the role of computer hacker Lisbeth Salander in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and completely owns it. When her casting was initially announced, many doubted her ability to play such a dark and complex character. But she proved critics wrong and holds her own against several of her veteran co-stars. Hopefully, other award shows will give her the recognition she deserves.

Kristen Wiig: The cast of Bridesmaids received a Best Ensemble nod, but Kristen Wiig got no love in the Female Lead Actor category. Breakout star Melissa McCarthy earned a nomination for best supporting, but Wiig was hung out to dry. Not only was she the film's headliner but she also co-wrote the screenplay. Wiig is the heart and soul of that movie.

Homeland: On the television front, no one got it worse than Showtime's Homeland. The drama has been frequently called 2011's best new series , but it received nothing from SAG. At the very least, Claire Danes should have been nominated for her amazing performance as CIA officer Carrie Mathison. The entire cast delivers strong performances each week, but it looks like their best work wasn't good enough.

Who do you think received the biggest snub from SAG this year?

Burger King hosting Free Fries Day this Friday

Want to try Burger King's newest fries for free? You're in luck. Free Fries Day is taking place in just two days.

Burger King Fries

A few weeks ago, we shared the news that Burger King fries were getting a makeover. We also mentioned that the fast food chain wanted you to try them -- for free.

It's almost time! To celebrate the new Burger King fries, you can stop by any Burger King location this Friday, Dec. 16 and receive a free order of fries. This free food event has been dubbed Free Fries Day and it's really free!  You don't even have to purchase a Whopper to receive the free fries.

Try our recipes for gourmet fries >>

Burger King said that the new fries are made from a thicker cut of potato that "gives each bite more fluffy, potato flavor on the inside and crispy, golden-brown deliciousness on the outside."

The new fries were rolled out at almost all North American Burger King restaurants during the first week of December.

Looking for healthier fries? Make these zesty baked zucchini fries >>

Burger King hadn't updated its fry formula since 1998, so this is a big change. The new Burger King fries have 20 percent less sodium, so that's a plus. And they're cheap -- a "value portion" is just $1. That size isn't a huge diet-buster, at least when it comes to fast food. The value portion contains 240 calories and 330 mg of sodium.

For Free Fries Day, Burger King is offering guests a complimentary value portion.

Tell us

What do you think of the new Burger King fries? Worth a trip to BK to grab a free order on Free Fries Day?

Janice Dickinson drinks some Haterade for Kim Kardashian

Janice Dickinson hates Kim Kardashian's guts -- and she wants everyone to know about it. Read on to find out the nasty words the former model had for the reality star.

Janice Dickinson

Apparently Janice Dickinson and Kim Kardashian are not BFFs. The self-proclaimed original supermodel had some super harsh words for the reality star -- and it sounds like it is all because Kim does not want to be besties with her.

"Paris Hilton, Kim Kardashian? Sluts, whores and sluts. That's what they are," Dickinson snarled in an interview with Star magazine.

The Kardashians are "f**king idiots" >>

"It's time for the public to realize it and remember you look at this every night -- you're endorsing a fake marriage," said an extremely irate Dickinson. "That fake sham marriage was disgusting because they did it for money… She's a fraud, she's a hoax."

After calling Kardashian's famously round bottom a "heap of lard," we finally get down to the bottom of why Dickinson is so ticked: The Kardashian clan has "snubbed her for years."

In fact, it has gone on so long that when Dickinson and Kim ran into each other on the set of Good Morning America, she claims momager Kris Jenner had to force Kim to be nice.

Dr. Drew: "Kim Kardashian is guilty of domestic violence" >>

"I just looked at her and said, 'Are you serious? She's fake and you're fake,' and walked away," she said.

"She's a fraud, she's a hoax."

The former model is on quite a tear lately. Last week, Janice Dickinson said America's Next Top Model is rigged, claiming that it is Cover Girl, not the judges' panel, who really decides the winner.

Will Selena Gomez propose to Justin Bieber?

The rumor mill is buzzing after reports surfaced saying that Selena Gomez plans on proposing to Justin Bieber this Christmas.

Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber

Does Selena Bieber have a ring to it? Selena Gomez plans on proposing to her boyfriend Justin Bieber this Christmas, says a source.

In fact, despite reports that Bieber's paternity drama drove them apart, it appears like it actually brought them closer together.

"Selena is crazy about Justin and she hates seeing him so upset over the paternity allegations," a friend of the star revealed. "He's been on edge thinking Selena might leave him, so she wants to get him a ring to show that she's with him for the long haul."

Mariah Yeater came forward in October to claim that Bieber, 17, was the father of her 4-month-old son, resulting from a one night stand they allegedly had after a show in Los Angeles last year.

Bieber took a paternity test and vowed to sue her once the truth came out that he was not the father, however Yeater went MIA after realizing that she could get in big legal trouble if her accusations proved false.

The "maybe baby" drama has actually made Bieber realize that he wants to start a family with Gomez, says the source, however friends are hoping they will slow down their relationship.

If the wedding rumors are true, Gomez plans on giving Justin a ring in front of his family in Canada over the holidays. Bieber's mom, Pattie, is even reportedly "in on the secret."

"Pattie thinks Justin is talking about having kids partly because he's afraid of losing Selena. But if Selena proposes, Pattie thinks Justin will feel more secure, and she'll be able to talk them into putting off a wedding and kids," the insider revealed.

Justin Bieber's Someday perfume for women can do no wrong when it comes to Beliebers – the scent won the coveted Fragrance of the Year Award from fashion bible Women's Wear Daily.

 Justin Bieber earns Fragrance of the Year award for Someday"Justin Bieber’s debut fragrance, Someday, shattered sales records, posting numbers that the celebrity scent category hasn’t seen since the days of J.Lo’s Glow," wrote WWD. "Of course, the idea of a pop idol launching a fragrance is nothing new. But Bieber and his licensee, Give Back Brands, came up with a business plan that proved irresistible to buyers: The proceeds of Someday were earmarked for a variety of charities, making the fragrance a guilt-free indulgence during a period when consumers were still wary about spending on luxuries."

Stores can't keep the fragrance stocked on store shelves during this holiday shopping season. Current sales figures aren't yet available, but Someday made over $3 million dollars in the first three weeks after its release in June. Better yet, the profits go toward causes that are close to Bieber's heart, including Pencils of Promise and the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

Bieber's work with charity has earned him the respect of others in the entertainment industry, including actress Sophia Bush.

"Bieber’s doing a great thing. He’s a young superstar who could just be concerned with himself and his fabulous life. He is incredibly passionate about changing the lives of children around the world, and I think that is really commendable for a 17-year-old," the actress — and Pencils of Promise volunteer — told OK! Magazine.

Justin Bieber's new Someday commercial

The popularity of Someday hasn't stopped the "Baby" singer from promoting the fragrance. A new commercial starring the Biebs talks directly to his female fans' fathers.

"Hey Dad, it’s Justin," he says in the spot. "Your daughter wanted us to chat. I feel like we got off on the wrong foot. I get it. I’m a huge mega-star. I’ve got a full head of hair. I get it."

"So the next time you hear her scream my name, relax," says Bieber. "It’s better than hearing her scream ‘Joey’ who lives next door. Am I right?"

Oh, Bieber — you're so cheeky.

Rooney Mara talks nipple piercing in Allure

Actress Rooney Mara revealed that she decided to get real piercings for her role as Lisbeth Salander in The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. Find out why she's keeping one of them.

Rooney Mara is keeping her nipple piercing

Rooney Mara wants us to know that there's one big difference between her and Lisbeth Salander, her character in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo: She's not a fan of excess holes in her body.

However, that doesn't mean she wasn't ready for the nudity and piercings that came with the role.

"I had parts of my head shaved," Mara told Allure in her January cover interview. "I was in that character for over a year. If you're going to do it, you have to do it. People always ask, 'Were you crying when they cut your hair?' And it didn't freak me out at all. I was really happy to do it." 

Her hair wasn't the only big change for the flick that co-stars Daniel Craig. The actress got her nipple, eyebrow, nose and ears pierced for the film.

"I didn't even have pierced ears," Mara said of her transformation, adding that it was the worst pain of any of her piercings. "They put four holes in each ear, and, weirdly, that hurt the most."

The nipple piercing didn't really hurt at all.

"It was actually not that painful," she said, adding that it was necessary for the film, out Dec. 20.

"I thought, She has it in the book, and she should have it [in the movie]. Because of all the tattoos and the makeup and the piercings and the physical transformations my body has to go through, it would always feel sort of like I was in costume, even if I was naked. It just felt like a good one to get — a necessary one to get."

The ear, nose and eyebrow piercings are gone now — but she kept the nipple piercing for possible sequels. "It's not something I want to ever get repierced," she said. "So I'm going to keep it in."

Mara also revealed that the nudity in the film wasn't that big of a deal to her, either.

"Nudity is such a huge part of the character in the book, so I never thought twice about it," she said. "There was no time for hesitation. I didn't have time to second-guess anything or be scared; I just showed up and was comfortable."

Soy tealight set

You can never go wrong giving tealights. They’re versatile and everyone uses them at some point or another. We’re partial to this set of 12 made of soy wax and handcrafted in Portland, Oregon . Soy wax is renewable, biodegradable and produces much less soot than other candles.

Liven up any tabletop with this elegant breadbasket . Not only does this piece look great, it also keeps your bread warm, making it an ideal hostess gift.

We’re partial to the porcelain blue but choose from red, white or caramel.

Best for: Your mother-in-law

Welcome to Pretty Little Things, where each week we bring you our picks for the prettiest little things online. If we love it, you'll be the first to know! Today is all about what we're coveting most for the holidays this year.

All about me

Since we’re inching ever closer to Christmas, I thought I would take the opportunity to share some of the things on my must-have list for this holiday. Who knows, maybe you’ll be inspired to add them to your own wish list!

Marni Knitted Wool and Brass Chain Bracelet

As soon as I spied this chic piece of arm candy I knew I had to ask Santa to slip it into my stocking. The unique brass chain and knitted wool bracelet ups the cool factor of any outfit, whether you’re going to the office or a holiday party. Multicolored wool intertwines with a silver-tone brass chain and black ribbon for a decidedly urban accessory.

Grown Under Glass Bubble Bath

There’s nothing quite as luxurious as sinking into a tub full of bubbles – especially on a cold winter day. But not just any bubbles will do. I absolutely love this gorgeous glass bottle filled with sumptuous bubble bath . The ultra-softening soak is packed with skin brightening and healing ingredients such as green tea, blueberry extract and rice bran oil. It also comes in three scents – grapefruit, lavender and rose.

Pour La Victoire Marlow Crossbody

Since you can never have too many great handbags , it should come as no surprise that this stylishly structured green leather bag ended up on my holiday wish list. I love the sophisticated design, eye-catching color and printed fabric lining. It’s the perfect size to take anywhere without feeling weighed down and it looks great with anything from denim to office attire.

Malin + Goetz Detox Face mask

After all of the holiday indulgences and parties, I’m going to need some serious skin recovery which is why I’m asking for this power-packed face mask . The gel mask uses oxygenating cleansing agents to clear out pores and lift oil, dirt and makeup, while amino acids and almond extract work to purify, clarify, balance and soothe stressed out skin. Hello, complexion perfection!

Cordova Blue Lace Agate Ring

I’m a sucker for cocktail rings and can’t resist adding a new one to my collection any chance I get. This pretty silver and blue piece caught my eye recently so I had to add it to my list of holiday must-haves. The sterling silver band meets at the top to hold the beautiful ice blue lace agate stone for an understated by eye-catching design, perfect for winter .

Dior Beauty Holiday Deluxe Travel Palette

Who doesn’t want to look gorgeous on the go? Look pulled together and polished no matter where you are with this comprehensive travel palette featuring mascara, medium pressed powder, pink Ultra-Gloss, blush and six eye shadows – all housed in a sleek red patent zip-up case. I love the idea of having this bevy of beauty musts at my disposal no matter where I am.
