Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show
Santa’s granted your wish — a little early this year. On Dec. 1, CBS will broadcast a holiday-themed pageant from the house of hot lingerie.  Heidi Klum hosts and the Black Eyed Peas perform. Models? Marisa Miller, Alessandra Ambrosio, Doutzen Kroes and Miranda Kerr, to name a few. Check local listings for air times.

Fantastic Mr. Fox
Like a smack in the face of all the CGI-driven drivel comes this old-school, stop-motion animation from one of the quirkiest directors working in Hollywood. Wes Anderson updates the beloved Roald Dahl story with a little help from star voiceovers — including George Clooney, Meryl Streep and Bill Murray.

Humpday
Straight guy meets straight guy friend after 10 years, go to a party, get drunk and decide to make arty gay porn film starring themselves. What sounds like a bromance to end all bromances is actually just a premise for a journey through male egotism. It helps that there are plenty of laughs on the way. Starring Mark Duplass and Joshua Leonard.

I Dreamed a Dream: Susan Boyle
If her dream was releasing the year’s biggest-selling album of the year, it may just come true. The Britain’s Got Talent phenomenon has been topping pre-sales lists for weeks and is already breaking records across the pond. As for the album itself, there are some unusual choices for cover songs, such as the Rolling Stones classic Wild Horses.

Pirate Latitudes: Michael Crichton
Discovered by an assistant on the late author’s computer, Latitudes is the writer’s first posthumous novel. But this is no scientific thriller on the lines of Jurassic Park. As the title suggests, the story revolves around piracy in Jamaica in the 17th century. He should have just called it Pirates of the Caribbean IV.

Jack & Coke: Artie Lange
Nothing’s sacred for funnyman Lange. Not even the late great Heath Ledger. The filth flies in this live stand-up album from The Howard Stern Show regular, as everyone from Tony Romo to Mike Tyson turn toast on Lange’s grilling machine. Really, the punch lines will leave you hungry for more.
