Ryan Gosling was the latest guest host of Saturday Night Live, and with it being December, of course there were a few Christmas-themed skits to enjoy.

And in one sketch, called ‘Santa Baby’, The Big Short star and Vanessa Bayer play a couple with an intense belief in Santa Claus, and an obsessive need to meet him.

While attending a Christmas party, they believe that the ‘real’ Santa would be making a visit and start to get super weird about it.

It’s like Christmas meets Natural Born Killers the way Ryan and Vanessa go about it.

Looks like Naughty Boy hasn’t burnt all his bridges as Simon Cowell totally gave the music producer a well-timed shout on Saturday’s The X Factor.

Unfortunately for Simon though, fans of his biggest band ever, One Direction, weren’t all that happy about it.

Hopeful Lauren Murray had just finished a stunning performance of Runnin’, Beyonce’s latest single with Naughty Boy and Arrow Benjamin, when Simon told her: ‘I think Naughty Boy may have just helped you there.’

The comment came after the music mogul revealed: ‘Do you know what, Lauren? Watching you is like watching EastEnders! I’m up, I’m down, I’m up… it’s… Read the full story

Despite calls from many quarters for a female Doctor on the hit BBC drama show Doctor Who there is one person close to the show who isn’t keen on the idea.

And no, not Steven Moffatt.

Alex Kingston has revealed that she thinks the idea is ‘difficult’ and said that ‘if anything, the [next] Doctor might be of a different race than gender’.

Doctor Who actress Alex Kingston, who plays the Time Lord’s wife in the hit BBC show, has spoken about a River Song spin-off TV series and who should star alongside her.

Promoting the upcoming Christmas Special, where we discover she is also married to a giant robot called King Hydroflax (played by The Inbetweeners’ Greg Davies), Kingston told Digital Spy that she would like a spin-off of her own. She said:

‘After the 9 O’clock watershed? With Captain Jack? Might be naughty!’

Kingston and Barrowman together on the same screen is a thought that might get everyone hot under the collar.

Jay McGuinness’s manager has slammed claims that Jay has been banned from drinking or partying by his Strictly Come Dancing partner Aliona Vilani.

‘It is utter rubbish,’ Damien Sanders told Metro.co.uk. ‘There is no ban been imposed by anyone for anything, he works very hard and is entirely professional, as you can see from the performances each Saturday night.

‘Jay is a grown man that makes his own decisions and suggestions that he is ‘scared’ of Aliona are laughable, they get on very well and work as a team.’

He added: ‘We all work very closely together to plan the week and the training regime, Jay makes… Read the full story

Another celeb has crashed out of Strictly Come Dancing 2015.

Musicals week saw the celebrities perform to popular show tunes from stage hits such as Chicago, Les Miserables and Oliver.

But this being Strictly, someone had to go home – and Sunday night’s results show was a bit of a shocker.

Actress Georgia May Foote and her partner Giovanni Pernice landed in the dance-off against Call The Midwife star Helen George and Aljaz Skorjanec.

Reggie N Bollie sailed through the X Factor 2015 finals – which was pretty unexpected.

The duo, mentored by Cheryl Fernandez-Versini, shocked everyone when they became the first act to make it through to the grand final.

Even more surprising was that Lauren Murray and Che Chesterman landed in the sing-off, with Lauren Murray being sent home after Simon Cowell took the vote to deadlock.

Vicky Pattison has won I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here 2015!

The former Geordie Shore star was crowned Queen of the Jungle (with help from last year’s champ Carl Fogarty) during the final on Sunday night.

Union J member George Shelley finished second with TOWIE’s Fearne coming third.

The TV personality hugged Ant, Dec, George and all of the other campmates in celebration, and admitted she felt that she didn’t ‘deserve’ the crown.

Strictly Come Dancing producers were forced to re-record a segment of the results show because Bruno Tonioli said the word ‘orgasmic’.

The comment was made while Craig Revel-Horwood described the hand placement of the female celebrity dancers to co-host Claudia Winkleman.

Claudia then told the judges they would have to record Craig’s answer again because ‘orgasmic’ was deemed too inappropriate.

Bruno tried to quiz Claudia about it, but she just said, ‘there’s seven-year-old watching the show!’

It seems the BBC are being more careful about what the judges say after receiving complaints for another of Bruno’s comments in which he… Read the full story

2015 has been magical. Here's what's coming to @HBO in 2016. https://t.co/FzdLPuDgYW

— HBO (@HBO) December 7, 2015

After teasing us with the first trailer for season six of Game Of Thrones, HBO has released another video featuring content for their 2016 slate, including a few tit-bits from Westeros.

Jon Snow (Kit Harington) doesn’t make another appearance (apart from the beginning as they looked back at last year’s shows) or Bran Stark (Isaac Hempstead Wright) but it does show Cersei Lannister (Lena Headey) has returned to her former regal position, as she embraces her son King Tommen Baratheon (Dean-Charles Chapman).

Looking at her face, Cersei does seem like she might have learnt a few things about humility – after being forced to walk naked through the streets of King’s Landing – but as it’s Game Of Thrones it’s probably not wise to get our hopes up about how nice Cersei might have become.

The TARDIS. In fifty-two years of Doctor Who, it’s the one thing that hasn’t really changed very much. It’s had stories built around it, it’s melted, exploded, been torn apart and rebuilt – and it’s still going.

TARDISes were a big part of the Doctor Who finale, Hell Bent – but how much do you really know about them?

But sadly that dubious honour was awarded to Lauren Murray as the final four acts were judged this semi-final weekend.

It was Rita’s girl who had secured the least amount of public votes and she had to leave the competition.

It has been revealed that the house will undergo a major costume change – where housemates will be transported to a theatrical setting which echoes the vaudeville theatres of a bygone era – and the new house will have a decadent, antiquated feel.
