Team Santa with @Stormzy1 What a great moment which hopefully brought smiles to all the children at Newham and Whipps Cross Hospital pic.twitter.com/jPDTbg3GGT — Idris Elba (@idriselba) December 15, 2017 Swipe through to see how Team Santa brought the joy for children and staff. Maybe, it’ll give you some ideas for spreading love during the holiday season.

Mad Men Wins at BAFTAs

Mad Men dominated the Emmys for two straight seasons in America, and if the recent British Academy of Film and Television Association Awards are any indication, the third season will also win top honors. AMC’ s marquee series won the BAFTA for Best International Show yesterday over Nurse Jackie , Family Guy , and True Blood . No argument from me — but I hope when Mad Men does rack up Emmy noms again, Christina Hendricks wins her first nod and some damn credit for her towering vase-smash of a season. [ Zap2It ]

Robert Pattinson Debuts New Hairstyle

The big news at the 2010 British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) awards was supposed to be that Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart would be in the same public place. And they were. Stewart even picked up the Rising Star Award. But most attention was on Kristen’s rumored boyfriend, as Pattinson apparently took a shower before the ceremony… and that was it. He didn’t dry or spike his typically wild hair. Instead, Robert simply slicked it down and left the hour. After fans were relatively split on Rob’s bearded look , we wonder how they’ll react to this style choice. Vote below. Do you like Robert Pattinson’s hair?
