The Radio City Rockettes welcome back the stars of the living nativity — including camels, sheep, and a donkey — for their first 2011 Christmas Spectacular rehearsal Monday. As you can see, the camels are ready for their close-up, including Ted the camel. One camel trainer said Ted is quite the diva, saying, "He stands at the gate wishing he was back in Radio City with the soft mats, the massages, and no mud and competition of the other animals." The Christmas Spectacular production is right around the corner already, kicking off on November 11 and running until January 2. See more cute photos of the dancers with their barn-raised costars now!

First Lady Michelle Obama did jumping jacks with 400 school children on the South Lawn of the White House yesterday, as the adorable crew attempted to break the Guinness world record for number of people doing jumping jacks at the same time. According to reporters on the scene, after about a minute, the mob of squealing kids who were either doing actual jumping jacks or just bouncing around, rushed the first lady almost knocking her down. Somehow she managed to keep smiling the whole time.

Prince Harry looks confused as he answers phones at a charity fundraising event at the offices of BGC Partners in London today. Harry attended BGC's seventh annual Global Charity Day on behalf of the charity he founded, Sentebale, which supports orphans and vulnerable children in Lesotho, Africa. BGC also used the day to honor the company's 658 employees who lost their lives during the 9/11 terrorist attacks that took place 10 years ago yesterday.

The event was a success, and Harry closed a world-record-breaking trade for 18 billion euros! Now see more photos of the prince, who was joined by supermodel Eva Herzigova along with his cousins Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie and their mother, Sarah Ferguson.

Unfortunately, violence amid the festivities meant it wasn't a happy holiday for all, but the over-the-top music, food, and outfits made it a fun day for most. See some more photos of the costumes and revelry now.

See more pics of the confetti-filled finale from the New Zealand designer now!

Mayor of London Boris Johnson pokes his head out between the feather headdresses of Genesis Mas Band members ahead of the Notting Hill Carnival this weekend.

This year the band's theme is "Myths and Treasure Beneath the Sea," so think mermaids, treasure, coral, and sea horses.
