We Give Thanks to Stars Who Tweet
twitter.com/JLo
This year, we're thankful for all the famous people who jumped on the Twitter bandwagon.
For fans, it offered the chance to feel more connected to their favorite stars (or at least more connected to their favorite stars' high-dollar ghost Twitterers). For haters, it gave new reasons to hate the stupid, mundane things these people think and tweet. For the famous, it offered a way to communicate without going through reporters or PR people. And for us gossip bloggers, it opened up a new platform for pointless celebrity feuds. It's all win-win-win-win.
In fact, we're so thankful for the microblogging service, we've decided to honor our favorite Twitterers and dishonor our least faves. Now please join us in our first ever (and possibly last ever, who knows?) Twitter Awards!
Glee Love Debate: Should Rachel Be With Finn or Puck?
Matthias Clarner/FOX
If you're a Glee fan of any measure, you may have heard that certain Glee watchers are strongly split on one question: Who is Rachel Berry's (Lea Michele) one true partner? Should she be singing duets with earnest jock Finn Hudson (Cory Monteith) or harmonizing with edgy "jerk" Noah Puckerman (Mark Salling)?
We're partial to both pairings, which means we could be persuaded either way, and that's why we're hosting another one of our irregular (but oh-so-fun) love debates.
So we've opened the floor to speeches in favor of both Team Puckleberry and Team Finnchel, and selected the best two arguments to present to you today. Your job is to jump in here, read the resolutions in favor, and then decide for yourself which pairing is more perfect for Rachel.
Ready? Set? Go!
Holiday Movie Feast: Ninjas! Foxes! Zefron!
Fox Searchlight; Warner Bros. Pictures; Dimension Films; Freestyle Releasing
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:
Who Made So You Think You Can Dance's Top 10?

So did So You Think You Can Dance make a shocking decision and send home a fan favorite this week, just before the crucial top 10 turning point?
Did America lose their mind and leave Russell or Legacy stranded in the bottom six? Did the judges send home Ellenore instead of giving her the customary tongue bath? Or maybe did someone fall flat on his or her face, shocking the judges and the audience at home?
Twilighters Tweet Thanks for Making New Moon No. 1

What are Twilight fans grateful for this Thanksgiving (besides the release of New Moon and the millions it made at the box office)?
Tweets from from the stars themselves, of course! Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner took to the official Summit Twitter page, and gave Twi-hards around the world an early holiday treat.
"Thank you for making NEW MOON #1. It's very exciting to be a part of something embraced by so many people," wrote the beloved R.Pattz. "I hope you are looking forward to ECLIPSE as much as I am."
Lautner carried on the Thanksgiving spirit, saying: "Your passion for The Twilight Saga is the sole reason we're #1 across the world!"
And just in case you're feeling a little blue, we have officially witnessed a holiday miracle...
The Real Reason Oprah Quit Oprah: Sarah Palin!
ABC; ABC/Donna Svennevik
Something feels wrong in our bones.
At first we thought the vague, nagging feeling was caused by that thing that we lifted that we shouldn't have lifted. Then we realized, no, it's Oprah Winfrey. She's the problem.
She's holding out on us. Has to be. What savvy businesswoman would up and quit a money-making operation?
Unless...
Unless the savvy businesswoman stumbled onto a potentially bigger money-making operation. With a potentially bigger star than her own Oprah self.
Would we dare suggest Oprah's departure from Oprah has nothing to do with literary metaphors (closing a chapter, writing a new story, blah blah blah), and everything to do with none other than Sarah Palin? Oh, yes, we would.
Beyoncé Is Yours on Thanksgiving
Too tired to move after inhaling your Thanksgiving dinner? Just watch Beyoncé burn some calories instead.
We wouldn't exactly call it different—or even "a little different"—but the diva's Turkey Day concert special, Beyonce: I Am…Yours promises to be a whole lot of fun.
While the one-hour ABC event mainly consists of footage from Beyoncé's ongoing I Am tour—in particular, her show at the Wynn Las Vegas—fans will also be privy to some behind-the-scenes action, including rehearsals, the artist otherwise known as Sasha Fierce kidding around with her crew backstage, and home video of the 28-year-old hitmaker preening for the camera when she was merely destiny's child.
So it's funny that the night's second act features a fellow who was riling all the single ladies into a frenzy long before Beyoncé ever sang into a hairbrush microphone...
Brad and Angelina's Kid-Friendly Movie Night

They're not old enough for Mr. & Mrs. Smith, so what's family movie night like at Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's house?
How about the 1984 classic Karate Kid?
Just the other night, Pitt attended a packed-house industry screening and Q&A for Inglourious Basterds at the DGA building in West Hollywood. After Karate director John G. Avidsen asked a question, Mr. Pitt took a moment to announce to everyone, "We just watched Karate Kid with the kids."
And Pitt's not the only celeb we've spotted out and about this week. Keep reading for scoop on Chris Pine and new ladylove Olivia Munn, Sandra Bullock and Kim Kardashian…
Get Our Winter TV Premiere Dates Calendar!

Thanksgiving is here, which means the fall TV season is over and we're heading straight into what the professionals call "midseason"—and what we fans just call "winter TV."
To prepare you for this changing of the seasons, we've compiled a list of midseason premieres (including such highly esteemed shows as Chuck, Lost and 24), plus return dates for shows that are going away temporarily over the winter holiday and returning in early 2010.
This calendar will be updated as we get new information, so: (A) Don't cry too hard if we don't have info yet for your favorite show—we promise to post it as soon as we know; and (B) be sure to save this page and return early and often for the latest premiere dates info!
Wanna see the full calendar? Here's what we've got right now:

Justin Bieber: Blame Twitter for His Broken Foot

Justin Bieber can thank Twitter for his broken foot.
See, if it wasn't for the social networking phenomenon, the li'l guy may never have met Taylor Swift and therefore may never have gotten the chance to open for her at England's Wembley Arena.
We'll let the Biebster explain...
Update
Adam Lambert on Early Show: I'm Not a Babysitter
Turns out ABC had nothing to worry about. After all, it's hard to be raunchy when you can hardly move.
Adam Lambert managed to keep things pretty PG during his performance on CBS' The Early Show this morning, but there was really no way he could have sexualized his musicians and dancers when the stage was so teeny-tiny...and he had no dancers.
Still, the star said he has no intention of apologizing for his much-discussed performance at the American Music Awards and wants to get one thing straight: he and Elisabeth Shue don't have much in common.
For one thing, the American Idol runner-up is no babysitter.
"I'm not a babysitter. I'm a performer," he said.
He continued to discuss the "double standard" that exists between the reactions to him and other pop stars's performances Sunday night, listing Eminem's lyrics, Lady Gaga's antics and Janet Jackson's crotch-grabbing as arguably equally as shocking. He thinks his sexuality may have something to do with it.
Bella Cheats on Edward, Bones Jacob!
We love us some Twilight, but even more we love us some Twilight spoofs!
Taylor Swift was too funny with Firelight when she hosted Saturday Night Live, but this Breaking Dawn "scene" with Peter Facinelli (aka Dr. Cullen) might be one of our favorites!
Check out the hilarious Attack of the Show clip above, where Peter gives you a preview of when Bella gives birth in Breaking Dawn.
Hey, it's about time Bella gets hers! Seriously, we know Kristen Stewart may not be experiencing lack of action with lovah Robert Pattinson, but poor Bella keeps getting the shaft in these prissy books! (Or rather not the shaft.)
When we talked with Peter back at the New Moon premiere, he told us he lives for this kind of stuff...
