But there's one word to describe the best (read: worst) holiday music: absurd. We're talking about that ridiculous, superfluous, gratuitous celebrity cash-grab, er, Christmas album.

For those looking for a gag gift, or who just want to be vindictive at the office gift exchange, here are some of the most ridiculous celebrity Christmas albums you could stuff in a stocking. Just don't be surprised when your giftee kindly asks you to stuff them someplace else.

RuPaul, Ho Ho Ho (1997) -- Nothing says the holidays like drag queens and techno beats, and there's plenty of both on this holiday spectacular, including "Hard Candy Christmas" and "I Saw Daddy Kissing Santa Claus."

Collection of celebrity letters relive Pearl Harbor news

From www.suntimes.com:

But as he turned the pages of two white notebooks, it seemed as though almost every other celebrity did respond.

Famous signatures leapt from the plastic-protected pages of his notebook as he read names in a thin, soft voice: former President George H.W. Bush, golf legend Arnold Palmer, author Norman Mailer, the late CBS newsman Walter Cronkite, William F. Buckley Jr. and actors Jimmy Stewart, Jimmy Cagney and Gene Kelly.

The collection of 66 letters brings vividly alive a moment in time, a moment as memorable to those who lived it as the Sept. 11 attack 60 years later would be for their children and grandchildren.

From www.cleveland.com:

Companies test celebrity drawing power through consumer surveys. Marketing Evaluations -- the Q-Score Co., in Manhasset, N.Y. -- is the most influential of those. Several times a year, the company surveys consumers about how they feel about different celebrities.

China goes from Mao to wow

From www.telegraph.co.uk:
