If the bedazzled beret and meggings aren't doing their job, Andy Richter and George Takei have launched a coming out service just in time for those awkward family holiday dinners. Get welcomed "to the wonderful world of gay" in the hilariously adorable sketch from Tuesday night's Conan after the jump!

With a bit of tongue in booty-cheek sass, the Charlotte LGBT Chorus tackled anti-gay conservative totems in a performance of "God Bless You Chick-Fil-A" at its holiday concert over the weekend. 

It usually takes us a case or three of Belvedere to hallucinate something even close to this divine scenario at the office holiday party. Thankfully, we can avoid the pink slip this year because British Olympian Tom Daley is doing all the work for our inebriated imaginations.

If you ever wanted to see what it's like when two menopausal celebrities have a slumber party after a long night of girl's night out line dancing, follow the jump to check out the first video from John Travolta's holiday album with Olivia Newton-John.
