IT WAS CHRISTMAS EVE, BABE, IN THE DRUNK TANK: God bless modern medicine, and/or the human liver's capacity to absorb punishment, because the Pogues' Shane MacGowan turns 50 on Christmas Day, giving a memorable interview to celebrate and reflect. "Smoking, drinking, partying - that's why I've stayed alive as long as I have. And I've got better with age, that's what's meant to happen."
Meanwhile, for the third straight year, the winner of the UK's "The X-Factor" (i.e., Simon Cowell's other ridiculously successful show) has charted Britain's number one single at Christmas. Watch Leon Jackson's "When You Believe" here (yes, the Prince of Egypt song that Mariah and Whitney recorded), and then to restore your balance, the eternal Christmas number one: Billy Mack's "Christmas Is All Around". Enjoy.
