He says, quote, "What I tell the kids is some people believe it's Santa, and some people believe it's parents, and you get to believe whatever you want." 

Brad just turned 49 yesterday.  And he says that as he ages, his priority is, quote, "making sure I spend my time wisely and doing the things that are important to me and spending the time I need to with my family."

I want to be on this game show!

Former "Will & Grace" star SEAN HAYES is apparently legendary for hosting some awesome celebrity game nights.  

Now, he's producing a GAME SHOW based on them, and NBC just picked it up.

The show is called "Hollywood Game Night" . . . and it sounds a little like "Win, Lose or Draw".

On each episode, two contestants will be invited to "a casual game night with celebrities," and one of them . . . the one from the winning team . . . will take home a cash-prize.

The Meatloaf is done.

MEAT LOAF is apparently going to retire from touring . . . AGAIN.

Meat has announced a series of "farewell" shows, which will happen in the U.K. in April.  The shows will open with a few of his greatest hits . . . and then he'll perform his 1977 "Bat Out of Hell" album in its entirety.

His people say they were told this would be his LAST tour . . . and that this was his chance to, quote, "bid a final goodbye to his fans."
