Paris Hilton, More Stars Reveal If They’ve Been Naughty or Nice
Santa Claus is making his list — and checking it twice! Celebrity kids aren’t the only ones who are feeling the pressure during holiday season as they look back on who’s been naughty or nice this year.
“The nice list, of course! Only the nice list! It’s not bad if you don’t get caught,” Jonathan Scott teased while speaking to Us Weekly about his favorite holiday traditions.
For the Property Brothers star, his work off-camera is what he thinks helped land him on the positive side of Santa’s sleigh. “You know what? I think this year, I’m pretty excited that we’ve been able to do some things that I think are really good for people and really good for, you know, families,” he added, claiming that “Santa would be very proud” of what he and his twin, Drew Scott, accomplished for those in need.
Like the HGTV personality, Olivia Munn feels pretty good about where she stands with Santa this Christmas.
“I definitely don’t think I’d ever end up on a naughty list. But that’s mostly because I have a little more of a boring life just work, hanging out my dogs and go home and hanging out my friends,” the Newsroom alum joked. “It’s really hard to be naughty when you’re [boring].”
While some stars have channeled their energy into setting a good example, others have kept things playful. Leslie Odom Jr. told Us that he hasn’t been totally perfect — but that he’s simply trying his best.
“I’m a little bit of both! It’s all about balance in life,” the Tony winner said. “A little of naughty, a little bit of nice goes a long way.”
Padma Lakshmi, for her part, has her sights set on being a little more mischievous in the years to come after a solid streak on the nice list.
“I’ve been on the nice list, I’ve been good, following the rules,” the Taste the Nation host told Us. “But next year, I want to get myself on the naughty list.”

“I think this year I’m on the nice list,” the Clarissa Explains It All alum tells Us. “Mainly because I feel I’ve been really focused on a lot of charitable stuff, and really getting my kids involved. We did this amazing trip to Africa this summer with World Vision and just saw a part of the world we’d never would’ve had the opportunity to see. … So I feel that, hopefully, would put me on the nice list, but there’s definitely naughty parts and I need a little redemption there too.”

“I don’t really know. Santa doesn’t really come to my neighborhood, so I don’t know if I’m on his list or not,” the Steve Harvey Show host tells Us. “The only list I’ve got to be on is my wife’s. My wife buys me a Christmas gift every year and she knows what I want. I want a watch. I don’t want anything else for Christmas. I’m a watch collector, she knows. I’m probably on Santa’s … I’m a little in between with Santa. Sometimes I’m good, sometimes I’m not, but as long as my wife buys the watch, I’m going to be okay.”

“I think I’ve always been on the naughty list, unfortunately. I just have never been a good kid. I also think it’s hard in 2018 to be on a list of, like, will Santa bring me gifts?

Because that’s all I’m asking for for Christmas,” the Schitt’s Creek star tells Us. “I’ve just always been a rebel, in my own quiet, gentle way. I don’t like being told what to do.”
