While Saturday Night Live canceled Charli Xcx’s musical performance due to a lighter crew as a result of the Omicron surge, Xcx made an appearance in a pre-recorded musical segment alongside Paul Rudd titled “The Christmas Socks.” Also joining Rudd and Mooney for the saccharine music video were Kenan Thompson, Aidy Bryant, Heidi Gardner and Alex Moffat.
A somewhat parody of the Christian country-pop song “The Christmas Shoes” by NewSong, Rudd sings the track while helping a six-year-old boy (played by Kyle Mooney) buy a pair of Christmas socks at a department store.

With “Valentine’s Day,” “New Year’s Eve” and now “Mother’s Day,” director Garry Marshall has officially become the worst thing to happen to holidays since “The Christmas Shoes.” The man who once brought “Love, American Style” and “Laverne and Shirley” to the small screen continues to operate with least-objectionable-programming in mind, making another movie that’s too innocuous to inspire actual rage yet too utterly tepid and bland to elicit a single laugh. See Video: Jennifer Aniston, Julia Roberts, Kate Hudson Bring Gorgeous Mom Guilt to First 'Mother's Day' Trailer This is the sort of brightly-lit work where everyone from interior designers to.

Channel 4 have cancelled their annual showing of Elf, so Stuart Heritage is organising a mass DVD watch-along instead. Press play on Sunday 8 December at 3pm
"Son of a nutcracker" – Buddy
This Elfalong thing has got a bit out of hand. When I first noticed that Elf was absent from the Channel 4 schedules this year, I was slightly put out. Elf is only a decade old, but Channel 4's Elf Day has already become an institution. For many people, it signals the true start of Christmas.
But while I was slightly put out, everyone else seemed to be genuinely outraged. Elf was their film, and Christmas wasn't going to be Christmas unless there was some sort of communal watch-along. The additional fact that those arch enemies of free fun, Sky Movies, had bought the TV rights – and had completely missed the point by airing it every 20 minutes since...

The Best Man Holiday should have been an extremely fun comedy judging by trailers and advertising, following four friends reuniting after years of separate successes – but that’s not the movie we get. Oh no, far from it. Malcolm D. Lee’s direct sequel to The Best Man is emotional pornography that pulls every sucker punch in the book, highlighted by a screenplay that forces every single tear-jearking cliché into one sad, misguided film.
Don’t think I’m just a hater of romantic lore either, because I just saw About Time and Richard Curtis knows how to choke a dude up, but Lee’s attempts to bust open our emotional dams are faulty, forceful, and downright pitiful at times. It’s like a trashy episode of Jerry Springer made love to a Hallmark special feature and popped this bastard love-child out during Christmas – providing a watch that neither spreads...

On the second-last day until Christmas, Pajiba Love gave to me... Eight hours of Alexander Skarsgård running around naked on the set of True Blood. Thanks Santa! (Popbytes)
So you thought Christmas was all about Santa, did you? Hahaha! No. As it turns out, Santa has an evil sidekick that likes torturing little naughty kids. Here's everything you need to know about him. (Topless Robot)
Awwwww, how cute! South Park released a festive little Christmas e-card featuring Mr. Hanky The Christmas Poo and his Poo-Choo train. Yup, I just typed that. Awesome. (Agent Bedhead)
Alright people, you only have today and tomorrow if you haven't already finished up on your Christmas shopping. Just to mentally psych you up here, here's a graphical representation of what you'll have to deal with. (College Humor)

Twitter has donated its entire public tweet archive -- which numbers in the billions since 2006 -- to the Library of Congress, the nation's oldest federal cultural institution that "seeks to spark imagination and creativity and to further human understanding and wisdom by providing access to knowledge through its magnificent collections, programs and exhibitions." Of course, the purpose is to catalog historic tweets such as President Obama's upon winning the election. But now, the Library will have our musings on "history" as well. After the jump, I've taken the liberty of pulling out a few of my tweets that might "further human understanding and wisdom.

The Alamo Guide
for December 10th, 2009 If you’re at the S. Lamar theater this weekend, and you see a bunch of groggy ass, smelly, crazy-looking people wandering out of the theater around noon on Sunday, don’t worry. They won’t hurt you, they will have just sat through a full 24 hours plus of movies and they’ll be in desperate need of sleep. I’ll be one of them. It’ll be awesomely exhausting! Aside from that, if you got tickets already (if not, toooo bad), you can see the folks from Broken Lizard with their newest film The Slammin’ Salmon, but the most important thing that you should do is Go See Bad Lieutenant: Port Of Call New Orleans!!! Yes, the name is long, and the trailer makes it look kind of silly, but the hype over at Alamo Headquarters is ridiculous and the few people in...

Coming into a close knit family was the task at hand for director Chris Weitz last year when it was announced he would direct New Moon. Fans, actors, and the crew supported Weitz throughout the whole process and we are only weeks away from seeing his masterpiece on the big screen. In a new interview with People Magazine, Weitz is divulging news on how he wants tears shed throughout New Moon. Before hearing this news, I already planned on packing my granny style tissues in my oversized boyfriend's sweater for opening night of New Moon. While reading New Moon, I was so torn between Jacob (Taylor Lautner) and Edward (Robert Pattinson), I swear there were watermarks on the better half of the book. I hated that Edward left Bella (Kristen Stewart), I hated that Bella befriended Jacob, and I hated that they all had to suffer so much. There was...

Three cable networks saw solid returns from original holiday movies during the weekend, with ABC Family's Holiday in Handcuffs leading the pack with nearly 7 million viewers tuning in.
Meanwhile, initial projections are showing that Disney Channel and USA Network are in a tight race for this year's total-viewers crown among basic cable networks, while USA is leading TBS in the key demo of adults 18-49.
Handcuffs averaged 6.7 million total viewers from 8-10 p.m. Sunday, making it ABC Family's most-watched telecast ever, according to Nielsen Media Research. The movie, starring Mario Lopez and Melissa Joan Hart, also set network records in key demos, including adults 18-49 (3.2 million viewers), adults 18-34 (1.6 million), women 18-49 (2.1 million) and women 18-34 (1.1 million) and ranked as Sunday's No. 1 cable telecast in those demos. The movie peaked in its final quarter-hour with 7.8 million viewers.
For the week, Handcuffs was the second-most-watched cable telecast behind ESPN's record-breaking Monday Night Football telecast.
Lifetime and Hallmark Channel also got good news with their original holiday movies. Lifetime's "Lost Holiday: The Jim and Suzanne Shemwell Story," starring Jami Gertz and Dylan Walsh, averaged 3.6 million viewers 9-11 p.m. Sunday. Before Lost Holiday, a 7 p.m. airing of the Rob Lowe/Kimberly Williams-Paisley telefilm The Christmas Shoes averaged 3.9 million viewers, becoming Lifetime's most-watched weekend movie of the year.
Meanwhile, Hallmark Channel's The Note, starring Genie Francis and Ted McGinley, averaged 3.9 million viewers in its debut at 9-11 p.m. Saturday. The Note stands as Hallmark's third-most-watched original movie premiere ever.

A sequel to last year's top-rated miniseries Category 6: Day of Destruction, a ripped-from-the-headlines movie about the real-life serial killer known as BTK and a holiday movie starring Mary Tyler Moore are on CBS' slate of movies and miniseries for the upcoming season. CBS also is building on the success of two of its biggest movies of the past couple of years, with a prequel to Stone Cold, starring Tom Selleck, and a sequel to The Christmas Shoes, featuring Rob Lowe. "Our goal was to have a diverse slate of movies, with a mix of high-concept movies, story-driven vehicles and some branded and ripped-from-the-headlines pieces," said Bela Bajaria, senior vp movies and miniseries at CBS. "CBS really believes in the movie franchise as what we always say about the network: It's a unique mix of programming for a wide audience -- we are a 'broad'-caster." CBS officially has greenlighted a big-budget, fact-based drama centering on the life of the late Pope John Paul II, who died in April. The four-hour mini, tentatively titled Pope John Paul II, spans his youth in Poland to the latter days of his 26-year reign.

The Titanic was no disaster for NBC on Sunday. The peacock's four-hour telecast of the 1997 Oscar winner rolled over everything in its path to win the night for NBC in the adults 18-49 demographic. Viewership of the movie grew steadily throughout its 7-11 p.m. time slot, but CBS still won the night in total viewers (13.7 million) on the strength of 60 Minutes, a fresh episode 8 p.m. drama Cold Case and a repeat of its holiday-themed movie The Christmas Shoes, according to preliminary estimates from Nielsen Media Research. Titanic averaged 11.6 million viewers and 4.4 rating/12 share in adults 18-49. Viewership peaked in the 10:30-11 p.m. half-hour with an average of 14.6 million, 5.8/16. CBS' Christmas Shoes wasn't far behind Titanic, especially in the 10 p.m. hour. The holiday heart-warmer finished out with an average of 13.5 million viewers and 3.3/9 in adults 18-49 from 9-11 p.m. ABC was off the primetime radar with reruns of its regular drama lineup averaging 6.2 million viewers and 1.9/5 in the key demo for the night. Fox had a ho-hum night (10.1 million, 4.3/12) with its 8 p.m. anchor, The Simpsons (10.6 million, 4.6/13) in rerun, yet the network still ranked No. 2 for the night in the demo just behind NBC.

John Grisham helped rescue CBS' flagging Sunday movie franchise last week, while the American Idol-boosted Fox captured the key 18-49 demographic for a third straight week as the May sweep got under way. A Painted House -- a Hallmark Hall of Fame presentation based on Grisham's best seller -- gave CBS its most-watched Sunday movie in more than three years, with 18.3 million viewers, according to figures from Nielsen Media Research. Its 4.0 rating/10 share in 18-49 was the best demo outing for the franchise since December's The Christmas Shoes. But the week ending April 27 pretty much belonged to Fox, which won four nights in 18-49 thanks in part to a special Monday hour of Idol that led in to the debut of Mr. Personality, a reality dating show hosted by Monica Lewinsky. Personality retained 92% of Idol's demo audience, and both shows ended up dominating the night. Overall, Fox won 18-49 with a 4.6/13, followed by NBC (4.3/12), CBS (3.4/10) and ABC (3.1/9). CBS dominated in total viewers (12.7 million), followed by NBC (11 million), Fox (10.3 million) and ABC (8.5 million).
