The daily gossip: John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John release Xmas duet, and more

1. John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John release Christmas duet

For decades, Grease fans have wondered what happened to Danny and Sandy after their car inexplicably ascended into the sky — but they may be disappointed by the answer. Hollywood Life offers a strangely low-budget music video for John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John's new, Christmas-themed collaboration "I Think You Might Like It" — which has currently received 651 "dislikes" on YouTube, so let's hope it's not too late for a title change.

Director Christopher Nolan has repeatedly and emphatically stated that The Dark Knight Rises would be his last visit to Gotham City — but Anne Hathaway, who played Catwoman in the film, sounds keen to change his mind.

Christmas fruitcake jokes are as proud a tradition in America as baseball and apple pie — but it wasn't always this way, complains Dale Parker, vice president of the company that makes Claxton Fruit Cakes. Until comedians like Johnny Carson made the disgusting holiday staple a national punch line "in the '60s," Parker tells The Washington Post, "it was different. Fruitcake was respected."

4. PSY selects Afrojack to create only official "Gangnam Style" remix

For anyone whose appetite for "Gangnam Style" hasn't been sated by the thousands of YouTube covers and remixes, PSY has a special treat: An official "Gangnam Style" remix by DJ Afrojack, due for release next week. Afrojack tells Billboard that the "clubbier" remix will have people performing PSY's crazy dance for a full "eight minutes," because the biggest problem with "Gangnam Style" is that it's too short.

5. CBS executive says Two and a Half Men star Angus T. Jones is "piece of cake" compared to Charlie Sheen

Angus T. Jones recently made headlines when he dismissed his sitcom Two and a Half Men as "filth," but CBS executive Les Moonves says that that the half-man is still a "piece of cake" compared to former series star, Charlie Sheen. According to Access Hollywood, Moonves also confirmed that Jones — in a rare and shocking example of Hollywood hypocrisy — continues to collect his $300,000-per-week paycheck despite his apparent loathing of the series.
