The team hoops&yoyo, a cat and a bunny, is coming to the Hallmark Channel on its holiday movie nights.

The Hallmark Channel does not have recognizable stars or signature television shows. So it is embracing something it has not exploited up until now: its connection to hoops & yoyo.

In a cross promotion strategy seemingly plucked from a Hallmark marketer’s dream, two characters from the most popular line of Hallmark Cards will be hosts of the Hallmark Channel’s holiday movie nights on Fridays from Thanksgiving to Christmas.

The characters, hoops&yoyo — they evidently spell their names lowercase without any spaces, as “hoops&yoyo” — will introduce the movies and banter about them during commercial breaks. They will also act as mascots for the movie nights, which are part of the channel’s “Countdown to Christmas” programming month. YAY It's makes us wanna SHOUT EAT SOME CANDY AND SHOUT!

SNARKY ANIMAL RESCUES

Suryia and Roscoe - Best Of Friends

FRIENDS FOREVER
The orangutan was in a rescue and not doing well. This old hound wandered in absolutely emaciated and the orangutan snapped to like his buddy had arrived. He stayed with the hound night and day until he was well and in the whole scenario found a reason to live. They are now inseparable.

Where you lead, I will follow...best friends Suryia the orangutan and Roscoe the Blue Tick hound..

Doggy paddle's the order of the day here for the couple who live at the Tigers sanctuary in Myrtle Beach , South Carolina. Suryia and Roscoe spend hours together every day - they're particularly keen on swimming.

The two mates see the funny side of most things.

There's always time to chill.

For once, Roscoe's letting it all hang out.

The three-year-old orangutan goes everywhere with Roscoe.

A dog's not just a man's best friend, he's an orangutan's too.

ADIOS TACO BELL DOG: GIDGET RIP

Sad are the Snarkies that the cute little Taco Bell Dog passed away... Those wer some of the best TV spots every to grace the screen. We'll miss little Gidget!

From MSNBC

She charmed millions without ever saying a word — and managed to make fast-food tacos adorable. Gidget, the Chihuahua best known for her Taco Bell ad campaign (and her famous overdubbed tagline, "Yo quiero Taco Bell"), died from a stroke on Tuesday night at age 15.

"She made so many people happy," says Gidget's trainer, Sue Chipperton. PEOPLE met both Gidget and Sue at a Hollywood animals photo shoot in February, where the pup was a consummate pro and delighted the crew with her playful nature.

"When she's on a set, she comes alive," Chipperton said at the time. But when the mostly retired canine actor wasn't joining her trainer on shoots, the 15-year-old was happy to just kick back. "She goes on hikes with me and she loves the sun," said Chipperton, who added that Gidget was happy to sleep "for 23 hours and 45 minutes a day. She'll lay outside when it's 105 degrees! I like to joke that it's like looking after a plant."

n addition to her gig as spokesdog for Taco Bell, Gidget appeared in a commercial for the '90s edition of Trivial Pursuit and played Bruiser's mom in Legally Blonde 2 (Moonie, the dog who played Bruiser, was her best friend and sometime roommate at Chipperton's house).

Other than a few other small cameos, Gidget's working life didn't continue much beyond her Taco Bell legacy. But she left quite an impression. "One time, I kid you not, she actually pushed her stand-in out of the way because he was still there when she arrived on set," Chipperton recalled with a laugh. "Gidget always knew where the camera was."

You're a Real Colonel Right?
