Grumpy Cat to be Voiced by Aubrey Plaza in 'Worst Christmas Ever' Movie

Lifetime has found the perfect voice for its Grumpy Cat movie: Parks and Recreation star Aubrey Plaza, best known for playing the monotone curmudgeon April Ludgate on the NBC sitcom.

In Grumpy Cat's Worst Christmas Ever, premiering November 29 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Lifetime, Grumpy Cat stars as a pet store feline who's never chosen for adoption — which leads to her sour outlook on life. Along comes a 12-year-old girl, who can actually hear Grumpy Cat talk. The two eventually go on adventures together and, yes, discover the true meaning of Christmas.

Grumpy Cat — whose real name is "Tardar Sauce" — has become a superstar with 6 million Facebook friends, two books in print (including the recently released "The Grumpy Guide to Life: Observations by Grumpy Cat") and merchandising deals such as one as the official "spokescat" of Friskies.

Tim Hill (Garfield 2) wrote the TV movie with Jeff Morris (The Yank), who also directed.

First Thoughts on Guy Wilson as the New Will Horton on DAYS OF OUR LIVES

Guy Wilson debuted as the new Will Horton on DAYS OF OUR LIVES on Wednesday, January 8, 2014. "You're not gonna believe this!" That was actor Guy Wilson's first line in his debut as the new Will Horton on DAYS OF OUR LIVES. Well, believe it! Over the years many relative unknown thespians, who later turned out to be excellent actors, even Emmy winners, made their daytime soap opera debuts and looked like stiffs. This is a different medium, with a lot of dialogue to memorize, where getting it right on the first take is desired. It's understandable if a new actor in a daytime drama takes not just one, but several episodes to settle in. It's happened time and again so I give them a pass. Luckily, Wilson doesn't need one. He performed like a seasoned pro on Day One.
