Modern Christmas classic "Love Actually" got the spoof treatment from "Saturday Night Live" over the weekend, but nobody saw the skit because it was cut for time. "SNL" performer Pete Davidson plays the role of Andrew Lincoln (yes, "The Walking Dead" actor was that guy in the movie) using cue cards to tell Keira Knightley she"s "perfect," only Davidson instead tells Amy Adams "without hope or agenda" that he loves hot dogs, ham and her b**t. Creepy or sweet (or funny)? You be the judge:
Speaking of Adams, the "Big Eyes" star was snubbed by the "Today" show for refusing to discuss the recent Sony hacking scandal in an interview. Multiple reports say the 40-year-old actress was upset they wanted to ask about a cyberattack "that had nothing to do with her," and NBC responded by canceling the segment. The Weinstein Company said they "firmly stand behind Amy Adams," while others wondered about a double-standard -- her "American Hustle" co-star Bradley Cooper wasn"t asked about Sony during an interview about his new movie "American Sniper."

Written and directed by Glenn Ficarra and John Requa ("Crazy Stupid Love," "Bad Santa"), "Focus" opens Feb. 27, 2015.
And Jimmy Fallon recruited One Direction to sing "Santa Claus is Coming to Town" with classroom instruments on Monday"s "The Tonight Show." The late-night host, The Roots and the British boy band all donned ugly Christmas sweaters and took turns singing about being "naughty or nice" with a little funk. 1D fans are wondering why poor Zayn didn"t get a solo, though, but he sure rocked the triangle:
