...because it ain't gonna snow in Hawaii.

Hey, where do you think President-elect Barack Obama and his family are holing up in Hawaii?  Think maybe it's that one house with frickin' cavalcade of cop cycles?  Naw... probably not...

Barack, his wife Michelle, and their darling daughters Malia and Natasha were spotted doing some pre-Christmas sunning on the security-riddled lovely coast of Kailua, Hawaii.  And NO, we don't know where you can purchase Michelle's sensible one-piece.

Enjoy our EXCLUSIVE pics of your pec-tacular President-elect and his family's tropically green Christmas:

American Idol runner-up David Archuleta rocked the Hollywood/Highland center as he performed a range of songs, including "Silent Night" and his hit single "Crush."

The December event benefited One Heartland, a charity that helps children suffering from HIV/AIDS with camp locations in Malibu and across the nation.

After his performance, David sounded the countdown to the tree lighting with the help of Santa Clause, who shouted, "Merry Christmas and Happy Chanukah" to the cheering crowd.

When you're friends with Kate Bosworth, you just might get a fancy Christmas present from Barney's.  We saw the blonde actress shopping there yesterday.

As an added bonus to said befriending: you will probably get to oggle her hot model boyfriend James Rousseau (also pictured shopping) face-to-face (as opposed to the normal route of drooling over photos on your monitor... that could just be us).

The only downside to this friendship, really, is keeping your mouth shut about Kate's acid wash jeans.

Guess what, Lily Mo Sheen?  You're going to be getting stuff from Kitson Kids on Christmas morning.

Surprise!

Yesterday, we spotted your mom Kate Beckinsale shopping at the Robertson Blvd store.

We feel so powerful right now...

Yesterday, Anne Hathaway threw on some sparkly red star earrings, hooked herself into an apron, and headed to the St. Aloysius School to spread the holiday spirit.

Anne showed up for the Food Bank for New York City's program to promote healthy lifestyle habits for kids.

We love those earrings.  It's the sort of thing our first grade teacher would have worn all December long!

Sorry to go all Zsa-Zsa Gabor in that title.  Last night, a flurry of celebs arrived at Madison Square Garden for Z100's Jingle Ball.

We spotted Teyana Taylor (please educate us), Ne-Yo, Brody Jenner (why?), Chris Brown, and Rihanna with her adorable happy face fingernails and her less-than-adorable sad face to our camera.  (Rihanna's middle fingernail features a sad face.  We are beyond amused.)

Its okay, Ri.  Ashley Tisdale made up for your smile's absence by doubling up on her own.  Plus, Ashley Tisdale has the Kathy Griffin stamp of approval (as connoted by Kathy at her recent shows at the Kodak Theater), so we're thinking Ash should probably have ours as well.
