"Want" doesn't quite capture the glory of the hottest thing to hit the publishing world this week: The Ryan Gosling coloring book, which yes, you need in your life. As do I. When it comes to the Baby Goose, you deserve to treat yo' self, girl.

The final push of the holiday season -- a time for last-minute shopping, family squabbles, exhausting travel and Fox News' annual update on the War on Christmas. In honor of this precious slot on the calendar, 826LA is auctioning off ten different children's books signed by individual cast members from Glee to raise money for their free writing programs. Great and good, but what everyone really want to know is which Glee stars are soldiers-in-arms against Christmas-hating Progressives.

If a picture is worth 1,000 words, ABC has a whole lot to say to fans of its three hottest drama series.
Just because Santa Claus cannot bring you a third season of Party Down this year does not mean that you have to suffer the holiday season without your fill of Adam Scott. As part of their Ninth Annual Xmas Nativity Pageant, Comedy Death-Ray is auctioning off an afternoon of grocery shopping with the Parks & Recreation star, during which Scott will embarrass you by wearing a custom-printed t-shirt with your picture on it. Yes, all of that for just the low, low price of...

In celebration of its 75th anniversary, Carvel Ice Cream handed out 75 black cards to different celebrities (you know, the people who really need these sorts of things) that are good for a lifetime supply of ice cream from the chain. Well, technically it's good for $25 per week in ice cream products, so if you need more than that, keep looking. In any case, Patton Oswalt is auctioning his card off for charity. It may seem a bit pricey, but it must pay for itself eventually right? Let's do some math.
With few exceptions, this year's Movieline Gift Guide has emphasized largesse of the imagination over that of the wallet. But the rare occasion to combine both -- along with a devout interest in only the most macabre U.S. history -- proves even more irresistible. With this in mind, anyone up for buying Lee Harvey Oswald's original casket?

At least as of this writing, that's the going rate for the ultimate gift for affluent Team Edward devotees: A visit to the set of The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn and a brief meet-and-greet with Robert Pattinson.
There's already more than enough distractions in the world right now, so how about giving kids a game that nourishes concentration for once? Mindflex not only rewards the most focused player, but it also features a headset that reads the player's brain waves and allows players to move a ball around an obstacle course using only their mind. Which is amazing.
Another Movielne HQ favorite from the Hasbro shipment: the Spinning Electronic Lightsaber. Here's the problem with your normal, run-of-the-mill lightsaber -- it doesn't spin. Now, I'm not exactly sure why the lightsaber needs to spin, but it does make a pretty nifty light up effect as it does. And it gets better...
Everyone is cutting corners while waiting for the economy to recover. Since those overpriced drinks at bars are some of the first things to go, a flask makes a great, practical gift for anyone who likes going out and doesn't pull in a $100K salary. But this stainless steel ethanol molecule flask makes covert drinking educational for everyone, and will positively delight the scientifically inclined.
What self-respecting aficionado of popular culture would not want his or her own box of Growing Pains trading cards? Yes, these exist. Quite by accident, I stumbled upon them at a flea market in Brooklyn -- which is pretty much the only place you're going to find something like this accidentally (the dealer had Willow and 90210, too). Strangely, I felt compelled to spend four dollars for five packs of pure Seaver awesomeness. What exactly will you find inside? Hint: It's awesome.
Somewhere, in the archives of Eldon, Missouri's local newspaper, the Advertiser, there's a photo of a 7-year-old me with my favorite toy at the time, the All Terrain Armored Transport (AT-AT) from The Empire Strikes Back. For this gift guide, Hasbro sent me the updated version of the AT-AT -- which may be about the same size that I was at age seven.
Sure, George Lucas is already stinking rich, rolling around in a filthy pile of gold and rubies, a pile that grows ever larger with each ridiculous bell-and-whistle-laden re-release he sends out in to the world. So why give him even more money? Because these aprons are awesome, that's why!
Is Halloween only being once a year not enough for you? Do you ever feel the need, when you're home alone, to dress up as a superhero or the most feared bounty hunter in the galaxy? Perhaps you have a spare arm mounted flame thrower or a hidden repulsor in your glove and need a nifty helmet to go along with it? Look no further...
