Viewers were retuned to Patel of Interfaith Youth Corps. "Religion as a force for good." Just ahead: holiday movies.
"Lost in Translation" began the segment "Room Service" on Chateau Marmont. "The Hollywood Hotel," the perfect place to hang-out and act out. The chateau is about discretion and privacy. "Welcome to the Hotel California" (Eagles). Sophia Coppola: Somewhere. Hotel started in 1929. Jim Belushi found dead in 1982 in a bungalow. Atmosphere like a stage set from a familiar old movie. Gothic-glamor. Led Zeppelin/motorcycle. Rough around the edges. Pole dancers from room service? Discrete hideaway with imperfect perfection.
"On her Toes" on Darci Kistler of New York City Ballet. Started ballet in elementary school. Joined NYC ballet at 16, picked by George Ballanchine. "Mr. B." Peter Martin. Baby Bunheads. Earlier in 2010, Darci gave her final performance at age 46.

Ben Stein, yellow tie, dark blue shirt. Season to clean out homes. Clean out resentments, grudges, anger. Give the gift of forgiveneess. Ben talked about being fired from a job he liked. Ben's weaknesses to be forgiven: Wild overeating, extravagent gestures. It will really make you feel like ho ho ho.
