TV: Monday Hot List

Tis the season for celebrities spreading some holiday cheer! Tonight, Carrie Underwood hosts her very own holiday themed variety show on FOX called Carrie Underwood: An All-Star Holiday Special. She welcomes guests like Christina Applegate, Kristin Chenoweth, David Cook, Brad Paisley and the legendary Miss Dolly Parton!

Gossip Girl picks up where last week’s must-see episode left off. Serena is now with Tripp—but it doesn’t look like they’re going to ride off into the sunset so fast. And, Dan and Vanessa start to realize that their friendship is slightly more complex since the threesome  . . . and oh yeah, Dan has feelings for Vanessa that she’s not privy to just yet. Eh, we gotta admit—we’re not all that thrilled with the pairing! 

And, Ray Romano returns to TV with the premiere of his new TNT comedy series, Men of a Certain Age. The show is about Romano and his two best buddies from college (played by Scott Bakula and Andre Braugher) who are now dealing with the ups and downs of life in their forties.
