Hi! Welcome to your daily recap of what's happening in pop culture.

This morning, my phone triggered another alert that made me catch my breath and decided that was the case: the time came for Christmas shopping. Normally, I have a very strict rule for songs and festive movies, but this year I'm with Oprah, who has published his annual vacation list of favorite things today. "It's a beautiful life"Is finally available for streaming (on Amazon), and I will spend the evening watching it and scrolling through the incredibly expensive taste of Oprah.

1. A new live-action Mowgli

The new remake of Andy Serkis' "The Book of the Jungle" remake (not to be confused with the 2016 version of Disney) is out: it promises a lot of mechanics and C.G.I. Animals, Matthew Rhys as the villain and a pretty stellar voice that includes Christian Bale, Cate Blanchett and Benedict Cumberbatch. "Mowgli: the legend of the jungle"Will be on Netflix and in some rooms on December 7th.

2. Do not forget celebrity bloggers?

In the mid-2000s, they were big companies and Michael K's The blog gossip Dlisted was unmarked because it was well written and that he was still trying to sneak. Soraya Roberts tracked him down for Jezebel and lamented that celebrity gossip is now "back in the social sphere from where they come from, people are saying clever and stupid things in a sentence or even an image."

Missy Elliott became the first rapper to be nominated for the Hall of Fame and Composers. If your reaction to this news is "what?", Please tell her that she is getting appropriate institutional recognition. In 2017, Jay Z became the first rapper to be inducted.

This month, headlines were broadcast on streaming services, in time to be viewed during the holidays, including "Ocean's Eleven"(Hulu) and a new season of "The great British pastry show"(Netflix). Browse all our choices here.
