People who want to find out how to make the best French Onion soup, how to write the perfect thank you note, and how to make a bird feeder out of old matchbooks and twine will have to find another source. ‘The Martha Stewart Show’ has been canceled.

This would have been a good entry for Jimmy Kimmel’s Christmas gift prank videos: a father gives his daughter – a big Chicago White Sox fan – a gift for a Chicago Cubs fan!

This is probably nothing our readers would ever think of doing, but a lot of people love ‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2′ so much that they watch it illegally online. It’s true! TorrentFreak proved this fact by putting together a list of the 10 most-downloaded movies on BitTorrent, the file-sharing service, for the past year.

What if, instead of a clever comedy about a large, blended family, the hit sitcom ‘Modern Family’ was a horror movie about a disturbed teenaged girl? That’s the question posed by YouTube user Trevorama in this clever mash-up.

Every year, the folks over at JibJab give us an animated year in review, and they’ve done it again for 2011. You’ll find a lot of 2011′s top newsmakers and stories in the clip below, including (deep breath) Charlie Sheen, Herman Cain, Lindsey Lohan, Dr. Conrad Murray, Arnold’s Schwarzenegger’s love child, unemployment, Anthony Weiner, Rupert Murdoch, the Japan earthquake and non-gay Bert and Ernie

Some people are happy with just a small, above-ground pool to splash around in. But a company called Hidden Water Pools went all out and created a pool that not only looks cool but also completely vanishes when you’re not using it! It would also make for an excellent trap if you have neighbors walking through your yard all the time.

One of the great holiday memories from the ‘Saturday Night Live’ of the 1990s is the ‘I Wish It Was Christmas Today” song that Jimmy Fallon, Tracy Morgan, Chris Kattan and Horatio Sanz used to perform. This year, our holiday wished came true and we got to see it again last night when Fallon hosted the show.

Last night’s ‘Saturday Night Live’ was all about remembering the good times with ex-cast members like Jimmy Fallon, who hosted, Tina Fey and Amy Poehler. All three big names are former Weekend Update anchors, and what better way for them to celebrate the fond memories than to throw down a good, old-fashioned ‘Joke Off?’

Nothing says “Christmas” on ‘Saturday Night Live‘ more than Michael Buble, a Sting-dressed Jimmy Fallon, and a slew of other big name talents making an album together. For the follow-up to Buble’s #1-selling ‘Christmas’ album, Justin Bieber (Fallon again), Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift and other stars brought together their “talents” for ‘Christmas Duets.’

What’s so special about Dr. Oz that he gets be on the cover of 0 magazine. Oprah Winfrey has never before put a man on the cover… ever. In fact, she always makes herself the main image, but she announced that Dr. Mehmet Oz will be the first testosterone-driven being on the front of her January issue.

Now that the Christmas viral videos have begun to roll out, we have a feeling this one will be one of the most-watched: a man and woman in red outfits lip-sync and dance to Mariah Carey’s ‘All I Want For Christmas Is You’ as if their lives depended on it. It’s actually rather impressive.

Many celebrities have been seen with Muppets lately. Besides the new ‘Muppets’ movie, Jimmy Kimmel talked to Abby Cadabby about siblings and many Muppets showed up on ‘SNL.’ Now we have Conan O’Brien visiting ‘Sesame Street.’
