TV: Monday Hot List

‘Tis the season for lots of celebrity cheer! Tonight, Jennifer Hudson sings holiday classics like “Silent Night” and duets with Michael Buble on fun holiday treats like “Baby It’s Cold Outside” and “Let It Snow” on her very own special called Jennifer Hudson: I’ll Be Home For Christmas.

E! premieres their latest reality competition—Bank of Hollywood. A panel of wealthy celebrities (including Candy Spelling) listen to contestants plea their case for why the panel should lend them money. Tonight’s “poor” hopefuls include a mother of 50 (yes 50), a woman who wants a car and a group of extreme dancers.

And, after creating some controversy with all his racy ABC appearances as of late—American Idol runner-up Adam Lambert heads over to NBC to shake things up on Conan!
