SPIN CYCLE

The Stufz celebritie­s really need

- JENNIFER CHRISTMAN

Only three more shopping days until Christmas!

Make it four, considerin­g this is the age of of 24-hour drugstores selling as-seen-on-TV delights such as the Stufz Stuffed Burger Maker (because putting cheese on your burger is so 2012). And Hot Buns. No, that’s not a side dish for your Stufz burgers. It’s a doughnut-shaped contraptio­n that helps one (no, two — two for just $10! Call now!) achieve “fabulous buns.” Yes! Doughnuts that actually help our butts! No, wait, they are hair accessorie­s for creating “fabulous buns” … on our heads. Can I still have a doughnut?

While you figure out what to buy your obligated ones, er, loved ones, we have done all the work to figure out what our celebritie­s need: Khloe Kardashian Gift: Football tickets. She recently filed divorce documents to dissolve her four-year marriage to troubled basketball player Lamar Odom. She needs a new man. Or at least a new sport. Wait, she might already have both. She has been spotted spending time with baseball star Matt Kemp. Better get her a Los Angeles Dodgers jersey. Kanye West Gift: A police badge. After all, the rapper explained the peril he faces while performing in a recent radio interview: “I’m just giving up my body on the stage and putting my life at risk, literally. … And if I slipped … you never know. And I think about it. I think about my family and I’m like, ‘Wow, this is like being a police officer or something, in war or something.’” Or maybe just get him a gag so he stops saying stuff like this. Ashley Judd Gift: A guitar. So she can produce a country song about her current real-life drama. The actress told police she suspects her older sister Wynonna Judd of having a tracking device put on her car. She can call the song “Wynonna, Why Ya Spyin’ on Me?” Lindsay Lohan Gift: A pen. The actress is reported to have a literary agent and has started working on a tell-all memoir that will cover her drug abuse arrests and legal proceeding­s. Who would buy that? Isn’t all this informatio­n public record

and free?

Family Guy’s dog Brian Gift: Breath. The mutt that was killed off a month ago in Fox’s animated show was resurrecte­d — appeasing all the outraged fans who balked. Brian has a life, and here’s hoping fans of the show get one too. Aaron Carter Gift: Accounting for Young Dummies. Remember little Aaron Carter the singer? He’s now 25 and has racked up big debt. He filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy last month, claiming to have tax and credit debts exceeding $3.5 million and blaming the mismanagem­ent of his overseers. We look to his lyrics for something inspiratio­nal to say him. So Aaron, hang in there and “Jump on the Fizzy!” Whatever that means.

Neal Schon and Michaele Salahi

Gift: $14.95. Neal Schon, the guitarist from Journey, recently married reality star and infamous White House party crasher Michaele Salahi in a very romantic ceremony that you should have seen — that you could have seen in a live three-hour pay-per-view broadcast for less than $15. We might have paid if we thought Tareq Salahi — Michaele’s ex-husband, who starred with her on the Real Housewives of D.C. and reported Michaele kidnapped when she ran off with Schon — would be crashing this party.
