I usually end […]

Nancy Sinatra had a big hit decades ago called “These Boots Were Made for Walkin’.” Lauren Alaina’s boots were clearly made for talkin.’ The country singer seemingly made an “oops” when she was getting dressed the other day.

Christmas is often viewed as the “most wonderful time of the year,” though when Jim Carrey shot How The Grinch Stole Christmas in 2000, it was far from a wonderful time. The better way to describe the making of the beloved movie would be torturous, at least from the perspective of leading man Jim Carrey.
