Christmas is coming soon and one of the perks of it is checking the Hollywood Christmas Parade. And folks on Hallmark are bringing the parade to us.
The Hollywood Christmas Parade, a Southern California tradition for 80 years, will be telecast on Hallmark Channel, Monday, December 12 @ 6 p.m.-8 p.m. ET/PT, 5C. This year’s Grand Marshal is Grammy nominated recording artist and actor Marie Osmond (Donny & Marie). Ms. Osmond will be joined by actors and celebrities including Lea Thompson, Vivica A. Fox, Ted McGinley, Louis Gossett, Jr., La Toya Jackson, Rin Tin Tin, soap stars Natalie Hall and Greg Vaughan, World Champion Los Angeles Lakers forward Ron Artest (MetaWorldPeace), popular singer/songwriter Richard Marx, Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, award-winning bands from across the nation, equestrians – including the world-famous Wells Fargo stagecoach, and perennial favorite of the young at heart – Santa Claus, with many more performers to be announced later. The Hollywood Christmas Parade benefits Marine Toys for Tots. Hallmark Channel is the official cable television partner of the charity and has previously announced that in addition to its corporate sponsorship, all of the network’s VIP events will go to benefit one of the nation’s most venerable children’s charities. The goal of Marine Toys for Tots is that through a new toy, a child may find hope in the season, and in life. Hallmark Channel’s COUNTDOWN TO CHRISTMAS campaign is about celebrating the timeless traditions of the season. Giving to others is the tradition celebrated in the parade and on Hallmark Channel.

Bullying sucks. And there´s an ongoing campaign cakked Step Up to Bullying, that´s why Actress Brittany Snow and Vinny Guadagnino from MTV’s Jersey Shore join forces with DoSomething.org and Popcorn, Indiana to shoot public service announcements (PSA) for the campaign.
More than 160,000 kids stay home from school each day to avoid being bullied, but intervening can make a difference. Studies show that when bystanders witness bullying and step up, the bullying usually stops within about 10 seconds. Teens who participate by creating an “upstander” profile on the Step Up to Bullying website will receive customized footprint decals to show exactly where they stepped up to stop bullying in their schools and communities. The footprints can be placed anywhere – sidewalks, driveways, hallways, stairwells, and beyond! Young people are encouraged to post photos of their footprints on the campaign microsite (http://stepuptobullying.org).
The campaign’s celebrity spokespeople are both passionate about the cause: Brittany Snow is a major advocate of stopping teen bullying. She started a movement called Love is Louder with The Jed Foundation and MTV to build on the outpouring of online support after multiple teenagers committed suicide in September 2010. Brittany hopes to get across the critical message that love and support is more powerful than the external and internal voices that bring teens down and make them feel hopeless.
Vinny Guadagnino was bullied as a kid and identifies with those who get harassed in school. He wants to let people know it’s never OK to bully someone, so he is encouraging teens to step up, and stop bullying in its tracks.
My friends from Syfy Germany visited the FedCon XX 2011 and met the stars from Star Trek, Battlestar Galactica, Stargate, Star Wars, Alien and many more and were kind enough as to share with me all the videos they´ve done in the original version in english and subs in German.
Some of the things you´ll get to see in these interview videos:
Find out what Garret Wang from Star Trek: Voyager would use a holodeck for and what he regrets most – of course, a woman is involved here.
Lance Henriksen from Alien and talked about the reasons for the success of the movies.
Robert Duncan McNeill thinks Star Trek gives a realistic outlook to the future.
And Stargate star Tony Amendola talked about his first punch into the face of Richard Dean Anderson.
