Donations are helpful, and Donna already pledges to raise money- cash for dares! Shannon Wentworth jumps all over that with a $100 donation! Later, longtime friend of The Lounge, musician Julie Schurr, checks in! Dana Goldberg calls in with holiday wishes, and tells us her debut DVD “Hot & Bothered – Dana Goldberg Live” is now available. The drunk dialing continues with calls to comedian Amy Tee, Cathy DeBueno, and then gets even crazier with a call to Carly Pope (on set in Toronto!) Things really get interesting when Denise proposes to Jemma and plans a New Year’s Fiasco of a Wedding on the air. The girls drunk dial musician JD Danner and chat as she holiday shops at Walmart.
