Miranda Cosgrove and Shia LaBeouf

Miranda Cosgrove, who claims she went kiss-less on the holiday, says realistically, she doesn#39;t have a way to chase her dream down. “I got my permit, but I#39;m still not officially driving and I don#39;t have a car,” the Range Rover-loving actress says. “So I still have a lot of work to do.” Shia LaBeouf has a way with the ladies – especially the young ones. Just like Selena Gomez, 16, recently begged LaBeouf to be a guest boyfriend on her show, Miranda Cosgrove, 17, has declared her ador

Late Night Highlights: Jay Leno Uncovers Lost Footage of Javier Bardem as Superman

When Javier Bardem stopped by the Tonight Show last night, Jay Leno got into the holiday spirit by showing embarrassing video of the Eat Pray Love actor crying on camera as a child and then preening as Superman for a job in the ’90s.

DVD: Ten Thousand Points of Light Brightens Up the Holiday Documentary Season

One of the unique facets of Christmas, American-style, is that every neighborhood has at least one house where the people do the holiday up big, hanging up thousands of light and filling their yards with Santa, snowmen, and Nativity scenes. In Los Angeles, people drive from miles around to see the house that has eight replicas of Michelangelo’s David wearing Santa caps on a lawn that’s been covered with cotton batting, and for years in Atlanta, folks trooped out to Stone Mountain to see the Townsends’ annual shrine to both Christmas and Elvis.

How Three Veteran Series Got Their Groove Back

The best part about the holiday season — besides the fact that it is the holiday season; suck it, hattterrrrrsssssss — is that the fall television season has basically come to an end. By this time next week, most of your favorite shows will have shuffled off until January (or longer in the case of Boardwalk Empire and The Walking Dead ) when they’ll return to warm your lonely winter evenings. In honor of this quickly approaching television service outage, it feels appropriate to remind you about a few veteran shows you might have removed from the DVR list. Don’t worry, though: There’s always time to catch up over Christmas.

Rooney Mara and Her Nipple Ring Could Apparently Use a Break

Girl With the Dragon Tattoo star Rooney Mara broke her silence from the Stockholm set with what will no doubt go down as the Great Nipple Ring Communiqué of 2010: “It’s -9 degrees Celsius. 37 takes down, only about 42 more to go. Every time [David Fincher] says, ‘Okay, last one,’ I fall for it. Every. Single. Time. If only I could get this damn shrug right, then maybe I could go inside and my nipple ring would have time to thaw out…” Hmm. Well, lob her into the front of the Oscar ’11 pack, what’s the harm?
