Two exes dating siblings and spending the holidays together... what could go wrong? Well, according to the newly released Our Little Secret trailer, everything that could go wrong will go wrong.
Lindsay Lohan headlines the Netflix original Christmas romantic comedy as Avery, who spends the holidays with her boyfriend Cameron (Jon Rudnitsky). However, once she begins to meet his family, she discovers that her boyfriend's sister is dating her ex-boyfriend, Logan (Ian Harding). In order to avoid causing drama, Avery and Logan decide to keep their past a secret.
As the trailer reveals, 10 years prior to dating siblings, Logan had gotten down on one knee and proposed to Avery. Unfortunately for him, she turned down his proposal in front of a whole crowd. More than likely, that's where their relationship turned sour and caused them to be "resentful exes," as the movie's synopsis teases. An awkward proposal will definitely do that!

Ashanti & Nelly’s Relationship Timeline(Photo Credit –Instagram)
Ashanti and Nelly, one of the most high-profile couples in the music world, took over the internet when they rekindled their romance after a decade. They have once again made news as the source has claimed the singer/actress is allegedly pregnant. The rumors started after the couple at Nelly’s Black and White Ball in St Louis. Their relationship dates back a decade, and, as they say, no matter how far apart two hearts drift away, they are meant to be; they will find a way to be together.
The couple has also worked together, and their collaborative song Body On Me, also featuring Akon, is one of the most notable works and is still loved by the fans. They always kept their romantic life low-key and were shy about their relationship. However, the songstress spoke about what went wrong between them sometime after the breakup.

Before Broad City was on Comedy Central, it was on YouTube. For 25 episodes (and one spinoff) in 2010 and 2011, Abbi Jacobson and Ilana Glazer smoked weed, scammed on dudes, and generally treated the harsh, unforgiving streets of New York City as their own magical playground, all scored by the jaunty tunes of the Cook Trio. For fans of the TV show, the web series is an instructive watch; you get to see the world of Broad City develop, three minutes at a time. It's also funny as hell. Here are five episodes you should watch before tonight's (excellent) season-two premiere."Under the Mistletoe" The early episodes of Broad City concentrated on relatable slice-of-life comedy: Isn't it awkward to run into an acquaintance on a subway platform? Wouldn't it be weird to ask a homeless man for change? Episode four's Christmas party was where the duo made the leap into...

DVD Playhouse—November 2011
By Allen Gardner
Tree Of Life (20th Century Fox) Terrence Malick’s latest effort is both the best film of 2011 and the finest work of his (arguably) mixed, but often masterly canon. A series of vignettes, mostly set in 1950s Texas, capture the memory of a man (Sean Penn) in present-day New York who looks back on his life, and his parents’ (Brad Pitt, Jessica Chastain) troubled marriage, when word of his younger brother’s suicide reaches him. Almost indescribable beyond that, except to say no other film in history so perfectly evokes the magic and mystery of the human memory, which both crystalizes (and sometimes idealizes) the past. Like Stanley Kubrick’s 2001, this is a challenging, polarizing work that you must let wash over you. If you go along for the ride, you’re in for a unique, rewarding cinematic experience. Also available on Blu-ray disc.
