Billionaire Tesla CEO Elon Musk showed off a slimmer build in a Christmas day tweet in which he declared himself, “Ozempic Santa.” In the photo shared with the tweet, Musk strikes a modelesque pose in front of a Christmas tree while dressed as Santa Claus. In follow up tweets, Musk suggested that his smaller frame was the result of a weight loss drug. Musk added, “Like Cocaine Bear, but Santa and Ozempic!” In another tweet, he added, “Technically, Mounjaro, but that doesn’t have the same ring to it.” His post was quickly retweeted and co-signed in the dark corners of #DarkMAGA, with unhinged MAGA politico wannabe Valentina Gomez commenting, “African Santa*” under his post. Musk is only the latest political player who has been pawing for the public’s attention during the holidays. Musk’s bff President-elect Donald Trump also posted his way through the afternoon with troll worthy claims against China, Canada, and “the Radical Left Lunatics.”

Netflix is celebrating the holidays with the release of the first teaser trailer for Happy Gilmore 2. Starring Adam Sandler, the highly-anticipated flick is a sequel to the ‘90s golf comedy, Happy Gilmore, that followed Sandler’s character as he tried to win a golf tournament to raise enough money for his grandmother’s house. For its second round on the golf course, Happy Gilmore 2 packs on a star-studded ensemble including artists Eminem and Bad Bunny, as well as Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce who opens the teaser with a cheeky, “It’s good to have you back, Mr. Gilmore.” Elsewhere in the teaser, Christopher McDonald returns as Sandler’s nemesis in the film, Shooter McGavin, much to the delight of fans. While Netflix hasn’t announced the exact date for the sequel’s release, it’s so far slated to premiere sometime in 2025.

A “stressed” Amazon driver in Massachusetts has fessed up after they ditched dozens of undelivered packages in the woods just days before Christmas, police said. The employee, who has not been identified, came clean after police stumbled across 80 discarded packages in a wooded area of Lakeville around 2 a.m. Sunday, USA Today reported. The driver told cops that they had left the packages “because they were stressed.” No charges will be filed against the driver, who said they plan to report the incident to their supervisor. “I am proud of the way our Lakeville Police officers handled and investigated this matter. At this time, we are not seeking criminal charges and are considering this a human resources matter for Amazon,” Police Chief Matthew Perkins said.

The Kardashian-Jenner clan opted for a more “low-key” Christmas eve party this year. Although the family is known for their annual star-studded bash, this year they rang in Christmas by celebrating at home with some card games and Legos. Kim also posted a video to her Instagram Stories of their guests' parting gift—a tequila bottle from her sister Kendall’s brand 818. “We’re doing a really low-key Christmas Eve party this year,” Kim told Vogue at the opening of her SKIMS flagship store in New York. “Just because we have a lot of construction going on, so we’re doing a really family intimate one that I’m really excited about.” She added they were still planning on “dressing up to the nines” because that’s “what we do.”

2025 is quickly approaching, and there’s no better way to celebrate the new year than with 2024’s cocktail du jour—the espresso martini. It’s the perfect way to toast 2025 with sophistication, flavor, and an energy boost. Think you can’t make the buzzy beverage at home because you’re not a bartender? Think again. You can create this beloved cocktail effortlessly with just a cocktail shaker, fresh espresso, vodka, coffee beans, and Mr Black Cold Brew Coffee Liqueur.

Mr Black Cold Brew Coffee Liqueur

Buy At ReserveBar

It all starts in the land Down Under—Australia. Mr Black sources its ingredients, including 100 percent specialty-grade Arabica coffee, from local farmers and cooperatives. The liqueur is then slowly brewed with purified cold water to preserve its delicate, complex flavors. The result? A bittersweet masterpiece with bold flavor, balanced sweetness, and a lasting coffee kick. Its rich, coffee-forward taste is a crowd-pleaser, and the sleek bottle design adds a touch of elegance to any bar cart. Making an espresso martini is simple. Combine Mr Black, vodka, and freshly brewed espresso in a shaker. Add ice and shake vigorously until cold. Then, strain the mixture into a martini glass and finish with three coffee beans as a garnish. Skip the champagne toast this year and ensure you stay awake for the countdown to 2025 with a Mr Black espresso martini.

Luigi Mangione’s first Christmas behind bars likely involves a festive meal. In an interview with People magazine, prison consultant Sam Mangel disclosed that Mangione will be given a meal of Cornish hen and green beans. Although the consultant isn’t working with Mangione, he previously worked for other clients like Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro. Along with his Christmas meal, Mangel also said that Mangione is sleeping on a mattress that’s “2-inches thick at best” with a “little bump in the end for a pillow.” If Mangione is in protective custody, he’ll spend Christmas day alone in his cell, however if he’s been moved to a different unit with other inmates, he’ll be allowed an hour-long visit from family. It’s unclear what unit Mangione is in while he’s in custody at the Metropolitan Detention Center. The 26-year-old was arrested Dec. 9 in Pennsylvania for his alleged involvement in the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in New York. He faces charges in both states, as well as federal charges. He has pleaded not guilty to his murder charges in New York.

It may have been the most expensive pizza pie ever sold, but all for a good cause. Dave Portnoy, the president of Barstool Sports, saved a Baltimore pizza shop from closing down on Christmas Day by gifting its owner $60,000 to keep its doors open for a year. The polarizing media mogul stopped by TinyBrickOven in the Federal Hill neighborhood of Charm City to test out a slice as part of his wildly popular One Bite Pizza Reviews series. In the nearly 6-and-a-half-minute video, which is posted on Portnoy’s @stoolpresidente social accounts and his YouTube page, TinyBrickOven’s upbeat, enthusiastic owner tells Portnoy that, because the shop hasn’t been able to attain a liquor license, it hasn’t been making enough money and will close down.

After being impressed by the pizza—he scored it a 7.9—and the shop’s commitment to paying it forward by supporting veterans, Portnoy asks how much money it would take to keep doors open for another year: “If there’s somebody super rich right in front of your face who’s in the pizza business, and by serendipity he’s like, ‘What do you need to stay open for a year?’ you gotta give him some figure, because otherwise he’s gonna walk away.” They eventually land on $60,000, which Portnoy pledges to give before Christmas.

A body was found in a wheel well of a United Airlines plane on Christmas Eve as it landed in Hawaii, officials said. The body had been lodged in the wheel well of one of the main landing gears when the aircraft arrived Tuesday afternoon at Kahului Airport in Maui, United Airlines told People Magazine. “At this time, it is not clear how or when the person accessed the wheel well,” the airline said in a statement. The plane had departed around 9:49 a.m. from Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport. Maui police also said in a statement that it was “conducting an active investigation regarding a deceased individual.” “At this time, no further details are available,” cops said.

One of the survivors of a Azerbaijan Airlines plane that went down Kazakhstan on Wednesday filmed the aftermath of the fiery crash. The footage, published by RT, showed items strewn about the cabin as one man tried to escape. The flight was headed from Azerbaijani capital Baku to the Russian city of Grozny when it crashed, hundreds of miles off course, close to the city of Aktau in Kazakhstan. At least 32 people have made it out alive from the doomed flight, which was carrying 62 passengers and five crew members, officials said. One witness told Radio Free Europe’s Kazakh Service that the survivors included men, women, teenagers and a small child. “A little girl came out. She looked at me and said, ‘Save my mom, my mom is still there.’ She was crying and begging, ‘Please save her, save her,’” the woman, who gave her name as Elmira, said.

West Coast public health authorities have issued a warning to pet owners after a house cat in Oregon died from bird flu. The Oregon Department of Agriculture confirmed Tuesday that the cat, which they said was “strictly indoor,” contracted the virus after eating Northwest Naturals raw turkey. The pet food company has since issued a voluntary recall of the product. The Los Angeles County Public Health Department also confirmed that four cats in California died after contracting H5N1. They believe the cats were exposed to the virus through recalled raw milk. Another three potential cases of H5N1 in house cats are currently under investigation. The warning comes just one day after the county recorded its first case of H5N1 in a human. The patient experienced “mild symptoms” and was already recovering at home, the LA Public Health Department said in a separate statement. The department still believes that the virus poses a low overall risk to the public and has no evidence of person-to-person spread.

Toyota Motor of North America has announced that it will donate $1 million to President-elect Donald Trump’s upcoming Jan. 20 inauguration celebration, a company spokesperson announced Tuesday. Toyota Motor of North America, a subsidiary of the Japanese automaker that oversees operations in North America, Canada and Mexico, joins General Motors and Ford as a donor—with the latter two also pledging $1 million and vehicles to use in the festivities. However, Toyota said it has no plans to also provide vehicles. Amid Trump’s proposed tariffs on imports from Mexico and Canada in a bid to prioritize “America first” will heavily affect all three automakers as the manufacturing process for U.S.-made cars often starts in the country then crosses country lines at various stages. The donations could signal a peace offering as Trump also readies to roll back many policies on carbon emissions and electric vehicle incentives, reported Reuters.
