She says that Penelope is already the star of the show: "Everybody was kind of like, shocked but like, happy. They were just kind of like in disbelief that it actually was 12:00 and pretty much they're just like, we have the new Year, baby, the New Year's Eve. So that's like her her little nickname right now, the New Year's."
