Co-hosts Al Roker and Savannah Guthrie will have more company on stage as NBC just announced a new batch of performers have been added to the 15th annual Christmas in Rockefeller Center special airing on November 28, 2012. Just announced to appear on the holiday special are Trace Adkins, Mariah Carey, CeeLo Green, Victoria Justice, Chris Mann, Rod Stewart, Il Volo, Billy Crystal, and Bette Milder, with the lighting of the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree highlighting the evening.
 
This year’s tree is a Norway Spruce that stands about 80 feet high and is 50 feet in diameter. It’s estimated to be around 80 years old and weights about 10 tons.
 
Per NBC: “The tradition of the Rockefeller Christmas tree dates back to the Great Depression. First erected in 1933, the inaugural tree was decked with 700 lights and placed in front of the then eight-month-old RCA Building, now the GE Building. The Christmas tree gathering was enhanced in 1936 with the opening of the Rockefeller Plaza outdoor ice-skating pond. NBC-TV televised the tree lighting for the first time in 1951 on The Kate Smith Show and as part of the nationwide Howdy Doody television show from 1953-55.”

Lisa Loeb No Fairy TaleLisa Loeb’s seventh album will arrive on February 5, 2013 according to 429 Records. No Fairy Tale is described as a “poppy-punky-rock album” that features collaborations with Tegan and Sara (she recorded two songs with the indie artists), Hello Goodbye, Morgan Taylor, Maia Sharp and Marvin Etzioni.
 
Discussing working with the album’s co-producer Chad Gilbert, Loeb said, “He’s a tattoo-ed up post-punk rocker and I’m known more as a singer/songwriter with glasses, which may seem like an unlikely pair, but it totally makes sense. He brought a whole new angle to my music and it was great to work with many of the musicians he works with down in Orange County (California).”
 
And in addition to the upcoming album, Loeb’s been busy working on her second children’s book Lisa Loeb’s Songs for Moving and Shaking set for release on April 2, 2013.
 

No Fairy Tale Track List:

1. No Fairy Tale
2. The 90’s
3. Weak Day
4. Walls
5. A Hot Minute
6. Sick, Sick, Sick
7. Matches
8. Married
9. Swept Away

Elizabeth Banks, ‘Effie Trinket’ in The Hunger Games series, and her husband Max Handelman have just increased their family by one. Elizabeth and Max just welcomed their second son, Mangus Mitchell Handelman, to the family. Mangus joins older brother Felix in keeping mom and dad busy.
 
Banks confirmed the news on her official website (be sure to subscribe if you’re a fan of Banks’ work):
 
“Like Felix, Magnus was born via gestational surrogate,” says Elizabeth. “This experience has exceeded all expectations, taught us a great deal about generosity and gratitude, and established a relationship that will last a lifetime. I am also so very thankful to our family and friends for their support throughout this process, as well as the Center for Surrogate Parenting for helping make all this possible.
 
I now turn my attention to managing two boys under two. For which I am thankful. And all their poop. For which I am less thankful.”
 
Congratulations to Elizabeth and Max. Hopefully, the poop won’t be too overwhelming.

Bilbo’s determined to help the dwarves get their homes back in this new video from Warner Bros Pictures’ The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. Heading to theaters on December 14, 2012, The Hobbit was directed by Peter Jackson and stars Martin Freeman, Ian McKellen, Andy Serkis, Richard Armitage, Cate Blanchett, Orlando Bloom, Ian Holm, Christopher Lee, Hugo Weaving, Elijah Wood, Jed Brophy, Adam Brown, John Callen, and Stephen Fry.

The Plot: The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey follows Bilbo Baggins, who is swept into an epic quest to reclaim the lost Dwarf Kingdom of Erebor from the fearsome dragon Smaug. Approached out of the blue by the wizard Gandalf the Grey, Bilbo finds himself joining a company of thirteen dwarves led by the legendary warrior, Thorin Oakenshield.Their journey will take them into the Wild, through treacherous lands swarming with Goblins and Orcs, deadly Wargs, and Sorcerers.

Although their goal lies to the East and the wastelands of the Lonely Mountain, first they must escape the goblin tunnels, where Bilbo meets the creature that will change his life forever…Gollum.

Here, alone with Gollum, on the shores of an underground lake, the unassuming Bilbo Baggins not only discovers depths of ingenuity and courage that surprise even him, he also gains possession of Gollum’s “precious” ring that holds unexpected and useful qualities… A simple, gold ring that is tied to the fate of all Middle-earth in ways Bilbo cannot begin to know.

Fans still line up to get her autograph, but she’s not packing the arenas like she used to. Rayna’s record label thinks a concert tour, opening for up-and-comer Juliette Barnes (Hayden Panettiere), the young and sexy future of country music, is just what Rayna needs. But scheming Juliette can’t wait to steal Rayna’s spotlight. Sharing a stage with that disrespectful, untalented, little vixen is the last thing Rayna wants to do, which sets up a power struggle for popularity. Could the undiscovered songwriting talent of Scarlett O’Connor (Clare Bowen) be the key to helping Rayna resurrect her career?
 
Complicating matters, Rayna’s wealthy but estranged father, Lamar Hampton (Powers Boothe), is a powerful force in business, Tennessee politics, and the lives of his two grown daughters. His drive for power results in a scheme to back Rayna’s handsome husband, Teddy, in a run for Mayor of Nashville, against Rayna’s wishes.

Vinny Guadagnino

Jersey Shore may be ending its run on MTV but we haven’t seen the last of its cast. MTV has just greenlit a new talk show/reality series with Vinny Guadagnino called The Show with Vinny. In a twist on the normal talk show set-up, The Show with Vinny will bring celebrities to Vinny’s home for interviews, etc.

“Vinny’s unique mix of humor, intelligence, curiosity and heart make him the perfect choice for this genre busting take on the interview format,” stated Chris Linn, MTV Executive Vice President of Programming and Head of Production. “As the lives of the Jersey Shore cast evolve, we are excited to explore new ground while still delivering the laughs and surprises that fans have come to expect from the franchise.”

The Details: “Combining the reality of Guadagnino’s home life – a long established fan-favorite element to Jersey Shore – with off-the-cuff and unscripted interviews with stars invited over to break bread, The Show With Vinny will feature a host of real characters from Guadagnino’s personal life, from his ultimate hostess mother Paula to party boss Uncle Nino and more.

Celebrities will let their guard down to have a meal and a candid conversation about whatever comes up complete with lots of commentary from Vinny’s peanut gallery of loved ones. No studio or audience; just family, food and big friggin’ stars.”
