PROGRAMMING NOTE: Due to the holiday, I'll be posting a fresh Hot Clicks tomorrow, and then touching it up for Friday. In other words, if you're Christmas isn't complete until you read a brand new version of Hot Clicks, you may not have the best holiday. To submit a link for Hot Clicks, E-mail Andy Grayhere. If you have a comment or question for Jimmy Traina, you can E-mail him here.

By now, you've hopefully done your holiday shopping and have a good sense of the latest toys and gadgets on the market. If you happen to be in the reflective mood, Thunder Treats has an excellent list of the top 20 Christmas gifts (for boys) from the 1990s. All this list really made me want to do is go on eBay, buy an old school Gameboy with Tetris and not leave my apartment until I get 100 lines.

After calling out Eagles fans for throwing snowballs at 49ers fans on Sunday, I got a bunch of hate mail from Philadelphians telling me how stupid I am. While I don't think I am stupid, I may have rushed to judgment seeing that Philadelphia isn't the only city with unruly fans. So I'd like to formally apologize to all the residents of the City of Brotherly Love and offer you a peace offering. Her name is Kelly Monaco, she's a Philadelphia native and pretty damn hot, as these pics illustrate.

As Steven Tyler enters rehab and the future of Aerosmith remains somewhat up in the air, here is a good link to Stereogum's list of the top band feuds of 2009. In happier band news, Pollstar released its top-grossing concert acts of the decade with Dave Matthews Band leading the charge. Somehow, Cher is No. 12.

The Jersey Shore phenomenon is on the cusp of being played out, but this video is pretty funny ... In case you forgot, this is also Festivus season ...
