In order to inspire you to get those last-minute cards in the mail today, here are four very personal holiday messages to and from your favorite musicians.

If you've attempted shopping this weekend, you have our sincerest sympathies. At this point in the holiday season, it's a good idea to take a moment, try to let the yule-rage subside, and remember the true meaning of Christmas: giddy little kids.

by Kira Gouriluk for LAist KT would have rather haven been on the DL yesterday in LA, but it's OK. Shortly after landing into LAX yesterday from Scotland, the first thing she had to do was start answering questions from the press, and worse, from bloggers! Such are the ups-and-downs of the 32-year-old KT Tunstall who had to wake up at 4am for a flight that took her 'round the world where today she will...

Though its title suggests exceedingly humble aspirations, I Want Someone to Eat Cheese With really is an unexpected little gem. Curb Your Enthusiasm's Jeff Garlin writes, directs, produces and stars (whew!) as the Marty-esque James, an overweight, under-employed, 39 year-old actor who still lives with his mother. His biggest concerns in life appear to be extolling the virtues of rice pudding to a convenience store clerk, keeping a great parking space near Wrigley Field...

In the slowest weekend since the early spring, suffered a precipitous decline in its second weekend, tumbling 62% and bringing in an additional 10 million bucks (44.2M).

Now that the frenzied first weekend is over, it should be much easier going at the L.A. Film Festival in terms of actually getting to see a movie. Virtually every film playing today shows either standby availability or tickets available at the door. Free events, unfortunately, are in short supply. Of course, there's the daily Bands on Broxton at noon and 7 p.m. at the Festival Promenade, but the only other free event is the Director Lunch Talk at 12:30 p.m. at the Target Red Room. Los Angeles Times entertainment writer John Horn will be speaking with Jeffrey Blitz, director of Rocket Science (at this year's LAFF) and the great spelling bee documentary from a few year's back, Spellbound.

Rockstar: Supernova took a wrong turn down American Idol alley tonight, taping the arrival of the singers in their tricked out Honda Elements. We'll take solace that at least they didn't air commercials of the rockers riding the Elements through Hollywood like AI contestants did with the Ford Focus. So they didn't cheese out entirely. But there is one more show left.. All five of the finalists were in the bottom three at some...

We think it's important to support local bands. That's why we went to two record release parties last week.

The Company of Angels opens Lisa Loomer's tonight at 8 pm in Silver Lake. Directed by Cornerstone Theater Company veteran Armando Molina, this provocative black comedy about female beauty, stereotypes, and medicine hasn't been performed in Los Angeles since its 1994 world premiere at the Taper, but the issues it addresses loom even larger today (I Want A Famous Face, anyone?)
