Holiday Movie Feast: Ninjas! Foxes! Zefron!
Do you like ninjas and talking animals? Or do you prefer Zac Efron and Viggo Mortensen? Oh, or maybe you're into old guys like John Travolta, because who isn't, right? Well, then this is the weekend for you.
Obviously, a certain vampire movie still looms large over the megaplex, but there's a ton of new stuff in theaters, none featuring the sparkly undead.
Here's our handy rundown of what's out, and what's good:
Sandra Bullock Gets a Chola Makeover
Usually when Sandra Bullock gets a makeover, it's to become a beauty queen or some sassy Southern mom saving lives. But on Lopez Tonight, George Lopez transformed America's Sweetheart into a chola, which is kinda weird, we know. Now we gotta watch more often. Does he do this to all his guests?
Naturally, Sandy B. rocked the Sharpie brows and lip liner because, lets face it, she can do anything.

Blake Lively Serves Up a Thanksgiving Surprise
If you've ever wondered what it would be like to share an intimate Thanksgiving dinner with Gossip Girl star Blake Lively, well, you probably imagined the meal would turn out a lot different than this.
Jimmy Fallon reveals what it's like to break bread with the actress, who's set to host SNL on Dec. 5.
Frankly, it stings like hell.

Apparently, you're not really feelin' Johnny Depp.
Based on your numerous comments and clicks on our poll this morning, many of you agree with People's pick for Sexiest Man Alive, but a majority of you would have gone in a different direction.
Well, we hear you loud and clear...and you're not alone.
"I'm a bit surprised," a taken-aback America's Next Top Model judge "Miss J" Alexander told us at the VH1 Save the Music Big Shopping event at the W Hotel Times Square this afternoon.
We read what you had to say about this hot-button issue and tallied your first choices (yeah, we're that scientific from time to time). We're not going to lie—you surprised us.
Your hottest hottie, by a landslide, is...
Live Right Now! Twilight Saga: New Moon Premiere

Fashion Police: Kristen Stewart Needs to Rein In Her Style

It's been a whirlwind week of press junkets and wardrobe changes for the Twilight trinity. But unlike Rob and Taylor, who can simply throw on a clean pair of jeans in each new city (scratch that, Rob's probably wearing the same dirty pair), Kristen Stewart's expected to debut a new designer getup with each photo op.
So there was the D&G wife-beater in Mexico, the romantic J. Mendel dress in Paris, Proenza Schouler's wacky red carpet outing in London, an Elizabeth and James appearance in Spain and finally Balenciaga at a second Spanish fan event.
All in all, it added up to a dizzying week of vastly different looks. We have a fairly good guess what K.Stew picked out herself (bleached jeans and a tank on the red carpet...really?) and which outfit might have come via a stylist or fashion-friendly publicist (hello, girly white gauze!). But we think it's time Kristen asserted herself and picked one consistent style—even if it makes us cringe.

Jim Carrey Talks Cruise, Pitt, Jolie and Much More
Jim Carrey is ready to dish.
Appearing on Chelsea Lately, the always-entertaining star of A Christmas Carol knows how to deliver a good time, whether he's talking about celebs such as Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie or describing acts of public sex in London, England.
"I have things to say about people," he warns host Chelsea Handler.
Believe him. And don't be surprised if the interview goes places you would never imagine. Check it out.

New Moon Overload! Catch the Big Weekend Scoop
Did you hear about Robert Pattinson's romance aversion? And what's got Taylor Lautner's fur all in a bunch? Or how Kristen Stewart plans to keep a li'l R.Pattz in her life?
Over the weekend, the entire Twilight Saga: New Moon gang—wolfpack, Volturi and all—got together for an all-hands press day.
We had it covered from every angle, and here's what went down:
R.Pattz admits the impossible. Like that he doesn't know the first thing about romance. "I really haven't done that many romantic things in my life."
K.Stew is totally over it. All this gossip business, that is. Also, she admits her secret to identifying with Bella: "I am an immature girl."
Taylor gets all tense—when you ask about that other Taylor. "What about us?" he said.
Dakota Fanning obsesses about baby names. And always has. "I have been planning the names of my children," she said, "since I was four."
The Wolf Pack boys plan to get matching tattoos. Also, their nipples get rock-hard. "We should have a cutting glass business," one pack member revealed.
K.Stew wants R.Pattz again...as a costar! She tells us: "Yeah, we talk about it all the time."

Shia vs. Ed: Who's Sexiest in a Suit?
Lookin' good, New York City.
Today in the Big Apple, the streets were overflowing with handsome dudes, such as these fellows, Shia LaBeouf and Ed Westwick.
(Not to mention a very lucky Alec Baldwin and some hung over jubilant Yankees fans.)
Dressed for success (and making movies), Shia is filming the Wall Street sequel with director Oliver Stone, while Ed is finely pressed for Gossip Girl.
They both look great, but who suits your fancy best?

While they both look great, only one can bring their look to our Guys In Ties gallery.
Khloé and Lamar Talk Tears, Flirtations & Babies
Khloé Kardashian and Lamar Odom give great interview.
In anticipation of E!'s special two-hour event Keeping Up With the Kardashians: The Wedding, Sunday, Nov. 8 at 8/7c, Chelsea Handler gets the newlyweds to dish on their courtship, other Laker wives and just exactly what Khloé thinks Lamar would like to do with his mother-in-law.
Trust us, you won't see that answer coming.
Mariah Carey Pops a Squat on the Beach
Mariah Carey was out on the beach yesterday in Los Angeles, shooting a music video in a too-small bathing suit cut down to her navel, along with some serious bling. You know, just normal Mariah beachwear...video shoot or no video shoot.
The photo agency's caption explains the situation like so: "the Precious pop star oozed glamour." We're not sure if that's exactly what she's oozing—maybe it's more like desperation—but for the sake of the magical creature that is Mariah, we'll stick with glamour.

Just as we'd never expect Mariah to wear something that actually fits, we never expect Britney to wear a bra. Check her out in our Big Pic gallery.
Holiday Movie Guide: Werewolves & the Apocalypse!
Did you hear? The world's gonna end—and soon! Also, we've discovered an alien planet with blue-skinned tribal badasses, and Sherlock Holmes is alive and well and looks like Iron Man. Oh, and vampires and werewolves totally don't wear shirts.
At least, that's according to the wannabe blockbusters blasting into theaters this season.
We've got the skinny on everything from Twilight sequel New Moon to James Cameron's 3-D space epic Avatar; from John Cusack's end-of-the-world problems in 2012 to Robert Downey Jr.'s sleuthin' bowler hat in Sherlock Holmes.
