From LIAR to CUPID, We Shine the Spotlight on Star Ashley Benson
By: Melissa Girimonte
PRETTY LITTLE LIARS fan who have been counting down the days until the show’s highly-anticipated January return will be thrilled to discover that one said liar, Ashley Benson (Hanna Marin) will be returning to a small screen near you sooner than expected. This sunday in fact, when she joins ONE TREE HILL alum Chad Michael Murray and Christina Milian in CHRISTMAS CUPID, a new made-for-TV-movie premiering Sunday as part of ABC Family’s “25 Days of Christmas.”
What’s more, unlike her LIARS alter ego Hanna, who spent the better part of last season being haunted by her supposed “BFF” Alison, this modern spin on Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol will see the tables turned, giving Ashley the opportunity to do the haunting as she steps into the role of a famous movie star turned ghost.

Your TV Guide Magazine Redesign Contest Update: SUPERNATURAL Fans Stand Up and Deliver!
Design By: Jaclyn E.
Full disclosure: When we first concocted the idea to have fans redesign this week’s “First Annual Fan Favorite” issue of TV Guide Magazine in response to their somewhat uninspiring cover, we were nervous. After-all, we’d look about as silly as the brains behind Comedy Central’s recent logo redesign if we publicized a contest that nobody entered. Thankfully, SUPERNATURAL fans did not disappoint. So much so that we wanted to offer up a sneak peek of some of the fantastic entries we’ve received thus far in an effort to remind fans that you still have one week to submit your redesigns. Click here for information on how to enter, and below for some awesome inspiration.

We Preview Tonight’s COMMUNITY Claymation Christmas with Star Danny Pudi
Since both critics and fans seem to relish comparing COMMUNITY’s often zany and always unpredictable antics to that of a live action version of THE SIMPSONS, it’s only fitting that tonight’s Christmas episode sees our favorite Greendale study group getting an Extreme Makeover: Animated Edition. And here to tease tonight’s stop-motion special is none other than the impetus for tonight’s claymation transformation —actor Danny Pudi — who was kind enough to take a break from his morning show with Troy to talk to a group of reporters about what’s in store for fans planning to tune into “Abed’s Uncontrollable Christmas.
Having probably grown up watching such holiday classics as HOW THE GRINCH STOLE CHRISTMAS, what was your first reaction to seeing an animated version of yourself?
Danny Pudi: It’s very bizarre because you’re not just looking at a version of yourself, you’re looking at an enhanced and better looking version! The eyebrows are fuller, the forehead is smaller, the jawline is nicer and overall I’m just more handsome. So I’m very thankful and very excited about all this.
