While you were getting ready for New Year's Eve...

Today's news you might've missed:

  • Kelly Clarkson took a lot of heat for professing via Twitter that she'd vote for Ron Paul given the opportunity, but it seems she's also gained some fans. Sales of her "Stronger" album have reportedly increased. [GossipCop]
  • Everyone: Lindsay Lohan won't be partying in Dubai on Saturday - or anywhere else, it seems. Her rep says she'll be chilling at home with "a few close friends" and family in L.A. [TMZ]
  • Chris Brown and Rihanna have been sending some coincidentally timed, lovey-dovey tweets out into the Twittersphere, which they may or may not be directing at one another. [E!]
  • If you've been slipping up in your "One Life to Live" viewing, here's your chance to catch up before the finale: SOAPNet will air a marathon on Sunday starting at 10 a.m.. [HuffPo]
  • Like we said Thursday, everyone is supposed to be on Beyonce Birth Watch, and it looks like some have taken this task to heart. The baby's been named (by the Internet, mind you) Tiana-May Carter before the arrival's even been announced. [Mirror]

'Bachelor'/'Bachelorette' host: Clooney, Aniston should come on

Chris Harrison has picked up plenty of experience as a reality show host thanks to his duties on ABC's 'The Bachelor" and its spin-off, "The Bachelorette."

“Initially I was hoping it would stay on the air for a few episodes because no one ever knows if something will resonate or not,” he told CNN. “But it has had this unbelievable run and has lasted a decade.”

“The Bachelor” returns on January 2, and with it comes another season of drama, tears and surprises. Otherwise known as exactly what die-hard fans want. “Ben [Flajnik, the new 'Bachelor'] is great…It’s an amazing ride for our show and probably one of the best,” said Harrison.
