Singer and songwriter Dido has been keeping a secret from us. The 40-year-old had a new bundle of joy to spend Christmas with: her son Stanley, who was born in July.

Dido shared her excitement to spend Christmas with her baby and husband Rohan Gavin on her official Facebook page. “I’m ridiculously excited about stanley’s first christmas this year!” she wrote. And to top off the holidays, she celebrated her birthday on Christmas day, too.

“There’s a real calmness about it which I think is really nice,” Dido said in March about her pregnancy. “Your decisions are sort of made for you. You just have this priority that is unchangeable and I think that’s a great calmness that comes from that.”

Way to keep a secret! Congrats!

Tim Tebow is the #1 religious selling author of 2011 according to USA Today.

Tim Tebow’s Pro Life Super Bowl Ad

Tebow’s autobiographical Christian book titled Through My Eyes, geared towards children, has sold over 220,000 copies since June.  It has been selling about 25,000 copies a week since he became the Denver Broncos starting quarterback.

As soon as Through My Eyes hit bookstores, it was a hit with Christian football fans, especially in the Southeast where Tebow won the Heisman Trophy for the University of Florida. But an uncanny series of late-in-the-game Broncos wins fed a blitz of national attention and fueled curiosity about one of the most outspoken Christian athletes.

Many copies of Through My Eyes were given away at Christmas time to aspiring football players and young Christians.

Congrats to Tim on being the #1 best-selling Christian author of 2011.

Who Won The X Factor USA? Melanie Amaro was crowned the first winner of The X Factor USA in a lukewarm final results show hosted by Steve Jones on Thursday (December 22)- watch videos below.

The Top 12 contestants returned to the X stage to perform Lady GaGa’s “The Edge of Glory.” They all did a great job completely butchering the song (see video below). It was painful. Stacy Francis, Marcus Canty and Chris Rene were particularly awful.

The final 3 contestants, Melanie Amaro, Chris Rene and Josh Krajcik, kicked off the show with three completely different performances of Christmas songs. Josh brought the holiday spirit to the X stage.

• Melanie Amaro “All I Want For Christmas Is You” (VIDEO)
• Chris Rene “Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas” (VIDEO)
• Josh Krajcik “Please Come Home For Christmas” (VIDEO)

At the end of the first hour of the final results show, Chris Rene, was eliminated or announced as the third place winner of “The X Factor” (see video below). The real battle for the title is between my two final contestants – Melanie Amaro vs. Josh Krajcik.

“I feel amazing that I got to do this, that I’m here and that God has blessed me with so many opportunities,” Chris Rene said. “I just got to say thank you.”

After another excruciating uneventful hour with a couple of good performances, Melanie Amaro is announced as the winner of the first season of “The X Factor” USA. The diva was shocked and could not contain the tears. This was a dream come true for the 19 year-old singer.

“Oh my god! Oh my god! Oh my god!” was all she could get out through tears before falling to her knees to pray.

“America, thank you for giving this girl an opportunity,” Simon said on her behalf. “She is a star.”

“Thank you so much!” Melanie said. “I don’t know what to say. Thank you. God is good.”

Josh was also happy with his journey on the show as he congratulated to winner. “I feel amazing. Melanie deserves it. She has a wonderful voice. I’ve had such an incredible experience here … I couldn’t be happier,” he said.

Melanie Amaro was asked to sing one more time. Unfortunately, Melanie was forced to sing Beyonce’s “Listen” once again (see video below). Congratulations to the final 3, especially Melanie! And good luck, Josh!

The. End.

Diva Melanie Amaro Is Crowned The First Winner Of X Factor USA

It was a fun performance, but not exactly the superstars I was expecting to see on the X stage. I was tremendously disappointed. I was even more disappointed when Marcus Canty came out of nowhere to sing and dance with the two “superstars.” At least Marcus sang more than one line.

Wow. 50 Cent delivered quite an interesting performance – lots of bleeps, some LA Lakers players and X rapper Astro (aka Brian Bradley)! “Wait Until Tonight” is the lead single of the rapper’s “The Big 10” mixtape, but the 2003 “In Da Club” is still his biggest hit.

I just have one question: WTF were the Lakers doing on that stage? Just chillin’ and watchin’ the hot girls shake their booties. That’s what friends are for – to randomly/awkwardly show up on stage!
