Comics serve good and laughs for homeless on Christmas

Comedians including Dane Cook, Paul Rodriguez, Jeffrey Ross and Larry Miller helped make Christmas special for the homeless at Hollywood's famous Laugh Factory on Friday.

The comedy club opened its doors on Dec. 25 for the Annual Toy Giveaway and Free Christmas Dinner. Meals were served four times during the day and guests were able to enjoy a live comedy show while they ate their meal.

Owner Jamie Masada pays for the catered meal each year. He says, "With this weakened economy and high unemployment rate, more and more people, especially children, need hope."

Jeffrey Ross tells "Extra," "This is the greatest crowd with the biggest laugh." He adds, "They are the most grateful." Ross, who competed on season 7 of "Dancing with the Stars," says he even delayed his flight on Christmas day so he could perform at the annual event.

Since its inception in 1979, the Laugh Factory has fed over 150,000 people through its annual Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners and has given away more than 15,000 of toys to needy children.

Cook updated his Twitter profile saying, "I'm going 2 b in the new Twilight film! It's a huge role. Im thrilled 2 b playing vampire! Cool news ain't it?" Is Dane really jumping on the "Twilight" bandwagon? The "My Best Friend's Girl" star claims he was offered a role during a meal with the film's producers. Cook says, "The producers put vampire teeth on my salad and asked me to join!" No word on what type of role the eccentric jokester will be playing, or if it's really for real.

Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner and other cast members have begun filming in Vancouver. "New Moon" is scheduled for release in November 2009.

UPDATE: Surprise. It was Dane's April Fools' joke.

Actress Kate Hudson, one of the blondes of the moment, appeared at the red carpet premiere of her new romantic comedy "My Best Friend's Girl." Believe it or not, even after her recent romance with Lance Armstrong, Kate claims she rarely dates, saying, "I don't get asked on many dates."

Kate told "Extra's" Tanika Ray about one of her worst dating experiences, "This man was really sweet, just really boring. It was one of those moments where I was like, 'Look, I'm just gonna save you or me the bill.'" The date didn't even get past appetizers. But cutting a date short definitely beats rushing into a relationship. A suitor once asked the actress, "So are you coming home with me or what?" To which she responded, "Or what?"

Hudson also discussed co-star Dane Cook's character in the film, after Tanika commented that Dane was "brilliant at playing a jerk." Kate clarified, "Ass is a better word." Dane told Tanika what it was like necking with Kate, " ... fresh breath. I appreciate it. Some of my prior actresses would eat a hoagie of some sort ..."

Hudson and Cook star with Jason Biggs in "My Best Friend's Girl," a perfect date, starting this Friday.
