It's the parents who should be teaching their kids how to behave. That's not my responsibility. I'm not responsible for your kid." This provocative sound bite is served up during...
...variety show with rocker/rapper Kid Rock that will feature a Christmas dinner “Detroit Style” with Rock’s mother and celebrity special guests. And that’s only the tip of the icicle. For office party background carols one can choose American Idol finalists singing the holiday classics, or R&B diva Ashanti belting out a few originals on her soon-to-be-released holiday album.
