Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt
Hollywood megastars Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt will be spending Christmas in The Big Easy this year - New Orleans to you and me. The pair recently bought a $3.5 million mansion in the French Quarter and Brad says he\'ll be taking a break from filming to be with Angelina and the kids; adopted tots Maddox, Pax, Zahara and their biological child Shiloh. Brad Pitt is urging the American people to give generously this Christmas to his Make It Right Foundation, which is dedicated to building new housing after the devastation of Hurricane Katrina in August 2005.

Oh boy, one can only wonder what Britters has got up her sleeve for tots Sean Preston and Jayden James this festive season. The court has allowed Britney to spend Christmas morning with her sons, but as she seems to be continually partying these days, will she actually be able to get up before noon? Thanksgiving dinner for the boys this year was peanut butter and jam sandwiches, so who knows what model mum Britney\'s whipping up for Christmas dinner - cheese and pineapple chunks on cocktail sticks anyone? Here\'s another burning question - does Britney wear knickers on religious holidays?

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes
Do Scientologists celebrate Christmas? Apparently so, and the news from the Cruise/Holmes PR machine this year is that ex-Dawson\'s Creek star Katie designed the family Christmas card herself... wait there\'s more... the card says ‘Happy holidays and best wishes for a joyous new year. Love Tom, Kate, Bella, Connor and Suri\' in a brown font. The big controversy? It\'s signed Kate, not Katie. Apparently Tom prefers the more grown-up moniker ‘Kate\'.

After recent reports that Courteney Cox\'s hubby David Arquette is fed up with the ex-Friends star spending all her spare time hanging around with their family, Jen is now apparently causing upset in the Pitt-Jolie household after Brad\'s mum Jane invited her to spend Christmas with the Pitts Senior in Missouri this year. It\'s reported Angelina\'s gone into orbit about it, with one source saying she told Brad it was ‘disrespectful\' for his parents to have Jen over for the holidays. Though some might say it\'s ‘disrespectful\' to steal someone else\'s hubby, Angelina...

Madonna and Guy Richie
Bah humbug! Apparently Christmas ain\'t much fun at the Ritchies - Madonna and Guy cancelled it two years ago. Madonna follows Kaballah, which is based on the Jewish faith - so Christian holidays are off the menu. The couple\'s kids, Lourdes, Rocco and David will get three presents each, but there will be no traditional fare on the days as salty and fatty foods are banned 365 days a year. What\'s the point in having all that money, if you can\'t let go once in a while?

Mariah Carey
She\'s all over the radio this time of year with her classic ditty ‘All I want for Christmas is You\', but what does the notorious diva get up to during the festive season? Well, she holidays in Aspen, where she gets up to some pretty peculiar stuff. \'I like to get out of the hot tub and roll in the snow. It\'s a tradition for us to have Santa Claus-looking bikinis, jump in the hot tub, and roll in the fresh snow. Somebody told me it was a tradition in Aspen, but maybe they were lying to me\'. Makes us want to grab a cardy just thinking about it, Mariah.

If you believe this year\'s Tesco ads, Posh Spice does her own Christmas grocery shopping. Hmmmm. In 2004, David and Victoria hired a £1000-a-day butler to help them unwrap their presents. Well, it is very tiring tearing all that wrapping paper and the sellotape can be a bit finickity to get off. Victoria and the rest of the Spice Girls will take a short break from the UK leg of their world tour, and David\'s flown over from LA to be with the family. He was recently spotted with sons Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz (and a lot of bodyguards) at Hyde Park\'s Winter Wonderland, getting into the Christmas spirit.

Kylie\'s and younger sister Danii are going Down Under to be with their family this year. Kylie split with French boyfriend Olivier Martinez in February but it\'s reported he\'s been invited too. The ‘Santa Baby\' singer says \'Christmas in Australia is beautiful. We all sit round a barbeque and it\'s fantastic. I was always start thinking about it when the nights in England start getting colder.\' Take us with you, Kylie!

The ‘American Gangster\' star shared his Christmas plans with Oprah on a show in November. Apparently, the family will open presents together, they\'ll make some home movies and then they\'ll whizz off to the Caribbean in time for dinner. Not too shabby a way to spend Christmas...

John Travolta and Kelly Preston
Another pair of Scientologists who are big on Christmas, Kelly and John will be at home in Maine this year. Kelly\'s hoping for a white Christmas - ‘I\'m huge on Christmas. So we\'re going to go up on the 5th of December. I take the kids sledding, Johnny comes and we all love to sled down the backyard\', she says. The couple have two children, Ella, 7, and Jett, 5. Ella\'s asked for a toy horse barn and trailer - odds on Santa comes up with the goods on the big day. Kelly also revealed she wants a very special present next Christmas - another baby.

Uh-oh. Providing she manages to stay out of
trouble, Amy\'s planning guess what? A massive, blow-out party in her new East London flat this Christmas. Then she\'ll check in to rehab in the New Year. Yikes. Sadly husband Blake Fielder-Civil won\'t be attending the as he\'s got his own plans in Pentonville prison where he\'s stuck for allegedly perverting the course of justice ...
