Playboy magazine picking her as their covergirl got us thinking. Animated characters opens up a whole new world to men’s magazines. They never age, no need for photo manipulation, specs to order and it totally doesn’t matter if those dimensions aren’t physically possible in the real flesh-and-blood world. Not to mention no one’s parents are going to be disappointed in them for posing and we bet their Likes and Dislikes are far more interesting than the usual run-of-the-mill Miss November’s.

So we put together a group of other gals they could go after. More than enough to fill a calendar. Even a 16-month one.

For example, sooner or later all of the Disney Princesses (Hilary Duff, Miley Cyrus, Vanessa Hudgens) want to show up how grown up they are. Why should it be any different for Ariel, Belle, Jasmine, etc.?

Check out our other suggestions.

Kate Gosselin, meanwhile, must provide an accounting of past expenses by the same date, lawyer Mark Momjian said. And an arbitrator will review another $55,000 she says she spent on household and child-related expenses.

David Archuleta, doe-eyed moppet from “American Idol’s” seventh installment, has released what is sure to be a popular album. The holiday-themed CD hits all the Christmas high notes including Joy to the World, Angels We Have Heard on High, O Come All Ye Faithful, Silent Night, The First Noel and I’ll Be Home for Christmas. All of those are very serviceable, if pop-ish, renditions of well-known and oft-sung Christmas numbers.

However, what really makes the album a knock-out are his versions of O Holy Night, What Child is This, Ave Maria and Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas (featuring Charice Pempengco). These songs are considerably harder to sing than the previous list of songs and Archuleta’s vocals really get to shine here. The “noels” with about 50 seconds left in O Holy Night are gorgeous and his Ave Maria is a different arrangement but that’s what makes it beautiful and unique.

The album can be ordered from Amazon, found in stores or downloaded from iTunes.

Former “Law & Order” star Benjamin Bratt has signed on to guest-star in the ABC comedy, which was recently picked up for a full season. He’ll be playing the Gloria’s (Vergara) ex-husband, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Bratt, who’ll be making a pretty rare foray into TV comedy, will have a lot to live up to, at least in the eyes of his son Manny (Rico Rodriguez). The character has been the subject of several conversations between Gloria, Manny and Gloria’s new husband Jay (Ed O’Neill), mostly centered on either how awesome he is (from Manny’s point of view), how big a flake he is (Jay) and about his physical prowess (Gloria).

Bratt is coming off the A&E series “The Cleaner,” which was cancelled late last month after two seasons. His other recent credits include “Love in the Time of Cholera,” A&E’s “Andromeda Strain” miniseries and voice work on “Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs.”

“Modern Family” will also welcome guest stars Shelley Long — who appears as Jay’s ex this week — and Edward Norton later in the season.

The 31-year-old commercial pilot, who was a contestant on “The Bachelorette” last summer, was announced as the new “Bachelor” Tuesday night (Oct. 13) during “Dancing with the Stars.” His casting continues a trend in which a person rejected from a previous installment of the franchise gets a new shot at finding love on television.

Pavelka was eliminated midway through the Jillian Harris season of “The Bachelorette,” but he’s better known for returning to the show later on (with the producers’ blessing) and calling out fellow contestant Wes Hayden, who he claimed still had a girlfriend and was on the show for the wrong reasons.

The new season of “The Bachelor” is scheduled to premiere Jan. 4. It will be subtitled — get ready for it — “On the Wings of Love.”
