Fox and Carrie Underwood will try to put you in the seasonal spirit Monday night with a two-hour holiday special.
The season four "American Idol" winner is the host and featured performer in "Carrie Underwood: An All-Star Holiday Special," which has the feel of an old-school variety show and features a handful of comedy bits in addition to the music.
Dolly Parton, Brad Paisley and fellow "Idol" champ David Cook are among the guests, and Underwood does a girl-group number with Kristin Chenoweth and Christina Applegate. But make no mistake -- this is Carrie's show, and judging by clips Fox has released she'll be front and center for just about the entire two hours (hey, her name's on the marquee, so why not?)
Take a peek at some clips from the show, which is produced by former "Idol" (and current "So You Think You Can Dance") exec producer Nigel Lythgoe. »

Eva Mendes has turned her back on fur after learning how animals are killed for their pelts - and now she's fronting a hard-hitting new PETA video about the horrors of the trade.
The sexy star admits she once wore fur to a Hollywood event, but she'll never repeat her mistake.
And, by way of repenting, she's hosting a new Internet expose about the fur industry.
The film includes the latest investigation of fur farms and markets in China, the world's largest fur exporter.
Mendes tells WENN, "Millions of animals are killed for their pelts each year... I didn't always know how animals were killed for their fur, and I even wore fur once myself.
"When I learned how cruel the fur industry is - and that there are no laws protecting these animals - I swore that I'd never wear it again. Please join me today as we go behind the scenes of the international fur trade, and find out how you can look glamorous without supporting animal suffering."
Mendes admits she has become a leading celebrity animal rights advocate after her pet dog Hugo came into her life.
She explains, "It literally changed my life, getting my dog. Every choice that I make, I always think about my little Hugo and think, 'God, would I eat him? Would I cage him up? Would I skin him?' No, of course not."
Mendes joins a growing list of celebrities fronting various PETA anti-fur campaigns - they include Charlize Theron, Christina Applegate, Roselyn Sanchez, Pamela Anderson, Nia Long, and Christy Turlington. »

An avid supporter of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), Eva Mendes helps the organization exposing the animal cruelty behind fur trade in a bid to urge people to stop wearing fur. In a video, for which she lends her voice to give detailed explanation about the issue, she is quoted as stating, "Millions of animals are killed for their pelts each year. ... The thing is, I didn't always know how animals were killed for their fur, and I even wore fur once myself. But when I learned how cruel the fur industry is - and that there are no laws protecting these animals - I swore that I'd never wear it again."
The movie siren goes on explaining how trappers usually strangle, beat, or stomp animals to death in order to avoid damaging their fur. Worse, some animals are even skinned alive or have their throats cut while they are still conscious. »

On April 5, 1987, the Fox network debuted its first prime-time series, an irreverent sitcom about a highly dysfunctional family called "Married... with Children" (followed by "The Tracey Ullman Show"). The series ran for 11 seasons and was a turning point in the careers of actors Ed O'Neill, Katey Sagal, and Christina Applegate. Plus, it would forever change the way we heard the Frank Sinatra-crooned theme song, "Love and Marriage."
This week, the final season of the series was released on DVD. In the words of Al Bundy, "Let's rock," while we take a walk down memory lane with the stars of "Married... with Children," then and now. »

Lauren Conrad's post-"Hills" career seems to be going quite well. On Wednesday (September 30), it was announced that the producers behind "Twilight" would be turning her novel, "L.A. Candy," into a movie. And although the novel isn't directly based on her life on "The Hills," there's a good chance that some of those characters are based on her friends from the show.
Lc's former coworker Stephanie Pratt couldn't be more excited to see her friend's novel come to life. And she has a few ideas about who should play her in the fictionalized version of her life.
"I would probably say Queen Latifah. I love her. I really love her," she told MTV News back in August. "Someone more »
