Following ‘Valentine’s Day’ and ‘New Year’s,’ Katherine Heigl and Josh Duhamel come up with some new ideas.

The task proved slightly difficult, in that not all holidays are universally celebrated and accepted. “I was actually thinking about that yesterday,” Katherine Heigl said. “It has to be universal so it can sell domestically and internationally. But what are other holidays that the whole world celebrates? Thanksgiving is out, Christmas, I guess he could do Christmas, but now that he’s done New Year’s Eve, can you do it in reverse? I don’t know. Well, I know Columbus Day is out, President’s Day is out, Memorial Day? Doesn’t everyone celebrate that?” Like Heigl, Josh Duhamel seemed to have already put thought into the question as well. “St. Patrick’s Day, yes. It’s about a crazy little leprechaun in Ireland,” he said. “Does everyone celebrate St. Patrick’s Day? You got to pick a holiday that everybody celebrates. We couldn’t do Columbus Day; even Canadians don’t celebrate that.” “Veterans Day,” offered Jake T. Austin. “I think the next film I got offered was Christmas Eve,” he joked. “Let’s do it, I’m ready!” Check out everything we’ve got on “New Year’s Eve.” For breaking news, celebrity columns, humor and more — updated around the clock — visit MTVMoviesBlog.com .
