"American Idol" season 2 winner Ruben Studdard is releasing a new Christmas song titled "Christmas in Your Arms." Listen below.
The single will be released Dec. 8, but you can listen to it streaming for Windows here or for Real Player here. It's really a nice, homey Christmas song. Ruben sings that he'd "be happy in the city" or "on the farm," he doesn't care where he spends Christmas as long as it's "in your arms." Awwww. He's the velvet teddy bear!
Ruben isn't the only "Idol" with holiday offerings. Carrie Underwood's All-Star Holiday Special airs Dec. 7 on Fox and David Archuleta recently released "Christmas From the Heart," which is a nice sampling of Christmas favorites.

David Archuleta is currently on tour promoting his new Christmas album, "Christmas from the Heart," and he got a little help from family. His mother Lupe joined him on stage for a duet.
During Tuesday night's show, Archuleta brought out his mom for the song "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas." A video, now available on YouTube, shows that Archuleta's vocal chops run in the family. She even planted a kiss on the cheek when they hit the stage.
The performance left Archuleta's mother emotional, nearly in tears by the end. "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" appears on his album as a duet with Charice Pempengco.
"Christmas From the Heart" also includes the American Idol runner-up's renditions of classics like "Joy to the World," "O Holy Night," and "I'll Be Home for Christmas." The disc's sole original track, "Melodies of Christmas," was co-written by Archuleta.

Christmas came early for David Archuleta fans. Earlier this month, the season-seven "American Idol" runner-up released Christmas From the Heart, which features 12 Christmas favorites as well as a new song Archuleta co-wrote, called "Melodies of Christmas."
The 18-year-old told MTV News that working on an original holiday tune came naturally. "It all happened so fast that I didn't really think about it!" he said. "I mean, that was the last song we worked on and recorded. And it was all pretty much a rush."
Recording at a breakneck pace that rivaled the fast turnaround of his self-titled debut last year, David still managed to sing in four different languages for the album. "I had never spoken French in my life until [singing 'Pat-a-Pan']," he said. The Latin

'New Moon' Soundtrack Fails To Knock Michael Buble From #1

'Twilight' sequel compilation hits #2 on Billboard after Friday release.

Is it possible Michael Bublé's gleaming pearly whites are hiding a garlic grill? That would explain how the buttery Canadian crooner's Crazy Love has been able to hold onto the #1 spot on the Billboard 200 for a second week, despite a hype-heavy charge from the soundtrack to the "Twilight" sequel "New Moon."
Actually the fact that the "New Moon" soundtrack came out last Friday, for a shortened week of reported sales, is probably what helped Bublé earn nearly double the vampire tunes' sales. A solid 203,000 units of Crazy Love were sold, a 55 percent increase over its first-week numbers (which also came after a Friday release). Meanwhile, the "New Moon" compilation — with songs by Muse, the Killers, Death Cab for Cutie, Lykke Li and Bon Iver with St. Vincent, among others — will notch

In his 2005 film “Nine Lives,” Rodrigo Garcia did something cinematically unexpected. Bringing to the women’s picture a rigorous aesthetic design, “Nine Lives,” made up of nine disparate segments about different female characters shot in elaborate single takes, successfully translated the structure of a short story anthology to the screen, and without denying film’s unique properties. The narratives themselves, surveying women from different classes and pasts and at different life thresholds, …

Five Of Patrick Swayze's Most Memorable Collaborations

Widely regarded as a class-act and all-around nice guy, it goes without saying that Patrick Swayze -- who lost his battle with pancreatic cancer last night at the age of 57 -- will be dearly missed. Given his vast wealth of film work, Swayze's death has understandably affected both his fans and his fellow co-stars... and boy, did he have some amazing co-stars.
Many actors find one or two other actors that they form an electric connection with on the big screen, but Swayze had an almost uncountable amount of these co-starring collaborations. From the heart-wrenching "Ghost" to the domestic battlefields of "Red Dawn," these five actors informed some of the most enjoyable performances of Swayze's accomplished career.
Charlie Sheen ("Red Dawn"): As the brothers Eckert and de facto leaders of the Wolverines, Swayze and co-star Charlie Sheen provided one of the great heroic duos of '80s action cinema.
