"Want to know what your favourite stars are getting up to at Crimbo?" asks OK! magazine, leaping headlong into what might be described as the Yuletide spirit. "Prepare to get very jealous indeed!" Lost in Showbiz duly prepares itself. And yet the truth turns out to be mildly anticlimactic - because most of the stars, it seems, are planning pretty unremarkable Christmases.
"I have lots of presents I've got to give," says Sienna Miller, explaining her family's unique tradition of exchanging "Christmas presents", as they are known. (She is also planning to eat "Christmas dinner", possibly "in front of the fire".) Westlife plan to "party, party, party" and also "relax", while Sarah Jessica Parker's family is planning a "get-together". And Ben Affleck? "For me, it's all about gingerbread cookies," the actor exclusively reveals. "My friends and family always tell me to stop eating them, but I can't! I can't! They're so addictive."
The only celebrity planning anything genuinely worthy of jealousy is Simon Cowell, who's renting a villa in Barbados. And since he has to live, around the clock, with the soul-lacerating reality of being Simon Cowell, it's not entirely clear that there's anything to envy.
