For those of you who’ve ever wondered if or how Xenu factors into the more conventional holiday season, along comes this dispatch from the Church of Scientology: “Scientology Founder L. Ron Hubbard honored the great religious leaders of the past for the wisdom they brought to the world, writing that Scientology shares ‘the goals set for Man by Christ, which are wisdom, good health and immortality.’ It is in this spirit that Scientologists celebrate the holiday season, whether Christmas, Hanukah [ sic ], Kwanzaa or any other religious or cultural tradition. In an annual tradition beginning in 1983 when Scientology Founder L. Ron Hubbard provided a 60-foot Christmas tree as a gift to the people of Hollywood, Winter Wonderland holiday village is erected each year on Hollywood Boulevard as a service to the community.” Annnnd now I can’t get “Frosty the Thetan” out of my head.

Drake preps intimate ‘Club Paradise’ Tour as Big Sean finishes Finally Famous Over Everything mixtape. By Felicia “The Poetess” Morris Drake performs at Power 106’s Cali Christmas 2011 on Friday Photo: David Livingston/ Getty Images L.A. Power 106’s Cali Christmas Concert on Friday night got fans in the holiday spirit as headliners Drake , Big Sean and J. Cole took the stage alongside newcomers Audio Push, LoveRance and YG. Drake , who had a stellar 2011, told MTV News that 2012 will be more about “growth” and “challenging” himself. He’s gearing up for his upcoming “Club Paradise” Tour, his first headlining run, which will take place at smaller venues around the U.S. and bigger arenas in the U.K. Drizzy said he loves performing for intimate crowds. “I just like the energy. I like people to feel close to me,” he explained. The Toronto rapper will play for about 6,000 to 9,000 people every night, mostly college students, a demographic he said he feels most loyal to. “I chose to do that because I just feel like those are the kids that downloaded So Far Gone off of October’s Very Own that night and have been riding with me ever since,” he shared. “I don’t want them to ever feel like I left them or like we’re disconnected, so I’m just gonna go back and I’m gonna bring them a real tour into those college spaces.” As the second wing of the tour expands overseas to the U.K. toward the end of March, so will his audience size. The 25-year-old admitted he’s not yet confident about playing the bigger arenas. “Watching me from a 500-level of an arena, I don’t know if I’m mentally there yet,” he confessed. “I don’t know if I can mentally accept that.” Joined by Kendrick Lamar and A$AP Rocky, Drake’s North American tour is scheduled to start February 14. For Big Sean , 2011 was one of the best years of his life. “It’s definitely a breakthrough year for me,” the Detroit native told MTV News, sporting white mink headgear. “I had my first songs on the radio; I got my first gold and platinum plaques. I’ve been really having a great time.” Big Sean promised fans that his Finally Famous Over Everything mixtape will be completed near the top of the year. “It’s just about done,” he said. “Give it a couple more weeks just to shoot some videos, really get it prepared for the people and just really take over.” In addition to the FFOE mixtape, Big Sean will touch down on a couple of songs on Kanye West’s G.O.O.D. Music compilation, also featuring labelmates Common, Mos Def, John Legend, Pusha T, Kid Cudi, Cyhi the Prynce and Mr. Hudson. Related Artists Drake Big Sean J. Cole
