Social media royalty: Shadonna Lambert

has landed the coveted lead role

in the reboot of the holiday classic, "Christmas with Jerks".

DEADLINE previously reported that the eighties child star

Eve Carter was reprising her role as "Cookie Jerk",

But it appears the 44 year old has been replaced

by the 30 year old influencer

with over 10 million followers.

When asked why the recasting

this is what director Charlie Belflour had to say:

"How could I argue with 10 million people?"

Next up, how young is too young for Botox?

Ace.

Jim's cousin.

Oh, dear God.

No, just "Ace" is fine.

Hey, Ace.

Beat it, squirt.

You grew up.

You too.

You remember me?

My cousin's in-law is "Cookie Jerk".

How could I forget?

Will you please do the candy cane line for me?

Please?

No! Why are you here?

I'm dog sitting.

Recovering from surgery.

What are you doing here besides uhh...

I have a mosquito bite.

Is that what the kids are calling it these days?

I -- I -- I want to wallow in my misery alone.

with Mickey!

and not be judged by someone like you.

So get out!

Well if it makes you feel any better

I'm not that judgy.

This is my sister's house.

She said I could stay here.

And I forgot to confirm with her but...

It's her house so...

Get out!

No.

Jim asked me to watch the dog,

and I need a bedroom on the main, so I --

I don't care!

Do I look like I care?

Are you or are you not leaving?

No.

I'm not.

I could pay you.

I don't need your money.

Okay.

But I'll get you a nice hotel.

I'll get you a nice hotel!

My god!

This is my sister's house!

and I'm never going back into the world again.

Or until after Christmas.

Same.

Sorry, Cookie.

I ain't leavin'.

And word to the wise:

If you're going to wallow in your misery

with your mosquito bite,

make sure you have on underwear.

Ohh!

Get out!

I don't like you!

So good to see you again!

Look, I don't care who stays there

as long as someone takes care of Mickey.

Send me a new phone, Ash!

I'm dying over here!

Happy holidays?

Come on.

So what'd you do to run off Kiki?

Bianca.

Ooh la la.

She would say I was a bit...

of a killjoy.

I see that.

I didn't go to this one influencer thing and...

Didn't feel like faking happiness

in front of a bunch of strangers and cameras, you know?

Yeah. She lives here?

Midtown.

Okay.

I got an A in stalking in high school,

and this was long before the interweb, Mr..

We had to do the legwork.

I once followed a guy all the way to Lake Lure and--

I got it.

You're insane.

It's almost Christmas.

So what's some stuff she always does?

Her best friend Crystal

always throws a Christmas Eve party. Every year.

She gets there early, stays late.

She always rides me for not dressing up

for these events either.

And I believe in dressing for the job that you want,

- and athleisure wear-- - I get it.

You're a schlub.

Okay.

This is going to work.

You'll go to the party, wear something spiffy,

get her a little gift, prepare a few words.

We got this.

We got this?

Yeah.

- You and me? - Oh yeah.

- You're going to help me? - Mmhmm.

And you'll...

let me use your phone...

and leave me the house by Christmas Eve.

So win win.

So what's the big plan, Eve?

No fucking way!

She hasn't been offered the role yet,

but we know she's auditioned.

That's my goddamn part!

And she's-- what? 12?!

Gigi has over a million followers,

So I can't even get this teeny, tiny role

off-Broadway--

Off-OFF-Broadway.

Exactly!

They have, like, 50 seats to fill.

What do they care about a following like that?

Just keep doing what you're doing.

Lay low.

No mishaps.

And it'll be if it's meant to be.

Bye.

You don't care.

I hate that shirt and it hates you.

I'm not paying for anything.

Oh, I kind of already got us some sushi delivery.

And some saki.

And a Great American Cookie Company cookie cake!

What is up with you?

It's called self love.

And I'm leaning into it.

And where's your phone?

It's on back order.

But Ashley's sending me one tomorrow.

I got an idea! BRB.

Pomegranate martinis!

Would you care for a drink, sir?

No. I'm watching my figure.

They're sugar free.

But booze forward.

I won't let you snack after. Promise.

Come on!

I make it a point never to drink alone...

while someone else is in the room.

Fine.

Tart.

In a less narcissistic life,

I was a mixologist.

Or Donatella Versace!

Yeah, well in a less dangerous life

I was a gym owner.

Well, now you can be?

What? No!

I'm a stuntman.

You know? It's...

not just what I do. It's who I am.

Like, you with the acting thing, right?

Yeah.

Let's not get too personal, shall we?

I was thinking about getting...

umm....

some jewelry?

For Banaca?

Bianca!

Right? Hmm.

Okay, I love these earrings.

They say "I want to do you...

but like...

forever."

Maybe in another life you were a personal shopper.

Well now I can be?

I'll be like Norma Desmond from "Sunset Boulevard",

but instead of holing up in my house wooing a younger man,

I'll be helping folks pick the exact right

pair of cufflinks to wear to granddaddy's funeral.

Why are you some kind of like...

crazy Auntie Mame hermit these days?

Oh, my God.

That's like the best compliment I've ever gotten in my life!

I love that you know that film!

My mom watches movies.

She loved you in "Operation Octopus".

Nobody liked that movie!

She would leave her singles cruise in a lifeboat right now

If she knew I was with...

"The Cookie Jerk"

Oh, I do send that out.

Every year.

Just look at--

See, they show that...

and then they show this.

Like, "she used to be sooo cute,

but look at her now."

Like it's a crime getting old!

Yeah, for men too.

It's worse for women.

Okay.

But...

men can't be weak.

And that's why I picked my stage name:

Strong.

Ace Strong.

Stop! It's...

- very on the nose. - It's very on the nose!

Okay, okay.

But if you could go back,

would you turn down the role?

So we're getting personal?

Shall we?

No, I mean,

I love being on set.

but then I'd go back and learn how to direct. You know?

like Spielberg it as a teenager.

Tell the stories.

So do it now.

It's hard.

- And I'm just-- - Don't.

- I'm too old to start! - No!

- No, I am! - Nooo!

No! Stop! You--

You bought in! You're--

You're ageist against yourself.

No! Uh--

Okay.

What about you, tough guy?

- Huh? - What?

Your ankle's pretty messed up.

I am in the best shape of my life.

Okay? Doctor says the word.

I'm back on track.

And if not?

I just need a couple good years.

When you don't get hurt?

Yeah.

And...

You know, then maybe I can

get into stunt coordinating.

I just need to...

you know, make a name for myself first.

But if not there's like

other things people like you can do, right?

"People like me"?

who...

train their whole lives

care for their body, and...

then have the best

opportunity of their career

only to have a freak accident?

No.

No, this is wh...

what I was born to do.

You're scared to reinvent yourself.

And so am I.

'Cause I'm old!

I have bursitis!

and my skin is retreating

from my neck!

Stop laughing!

It's not funny!

It's real.

Nobody thinks this is sexy.

And guess what? I'm right there with them.

I want to hump some 18 year olds too!

I maybe just don't want to have to talk to 'em after.

'Cause all my jokes are from 30 year old films and TV.

I can quote the hell out of some "Full House"

and I want someone to appreciate that.

before Christmas.

She was a teacher, and her students would bring her little treats.

And we'd cover the table in 'em and it was like...

snack roulette.

I'm telling a story.

Take the champs.

And she'd put out all the presents they gave her.

you know, like pot holders and

stuff with little apples on it.

But this one year,

she had a student and she said,

he didn't have anything to give her.

So the day before break,

he brings her this dress

in a beat up old box.

And it was his mom's.

And it was the nicest thing they could think to give her.

That was the Christmas after my dad died.

And we all just cried about it the whole night.

And said how he would've cried too, you know?

And then my mom would wear it

every year after.

I think to show up for us.

You know?

For her life.

Ashley inherited it, so--

My dad...

died last year.

Does it get easier?

Okay, uh...

Why didn't she

return the dress?

She tried!

They wouldn't take it back. Aw!

Okay!

That's my crab Rangoon. Do not be a scrotum!

Eat my Rangoon.

It's delicious.

Hello!

Eve Carter.

What are you up to?

You've gotten 2,000 new followers in 24 hours?

Who is this mystery man?

Wait for it.

I'm just laying low and proving I'm the best person

for the role of Emma, darling!

I'm a matchmaker at heart.

Well...

Can't hurt.

Follow along, dear.

I have a plan!

Jam' on!

What?

You are going to make sure

that Brit Brit knows you're ready to party.

Bianca.

Yeah.

What are you doing?

Texting her.

What are you writing?

Are you going to be at Crystal's tomorrow night?

"Do you still like me?"

"Check yes or no."

'Kay.

She ended things

because you're no fun.

And...

I'm not flexible?

I mean, physically, I am very flexible.

Alright, maybe not emotionally, though.

So what we need to do is let her know you've changed

So by the time you see her,

she's gagging for it.

I don't think you can say things like that anymore.

Yeah, I can. But you certainly shouldn't.

Pull up Instagram.

Facebook?

It got hacked a while back, but I

think the account is still there?

Okay, let's roll.

Okay.

Hey, guys, uh...

long time no see.

At the request of a friend,

uh, I wanted to let you know

I'm back in town!

I'd love to see you.

Grab a holiday nosh.

Yeah. So hit me up!

I cannot say "nosh".

I'm not one of the Golden Girls.

Okay.

That was good energy, though.

This time

say "drink" instead of "nosh" and...

give me a little devilish grin at the end.

You know I'm not an actor, right?

Yeah, I can tell.

Okay.

Hey guys! Long time no see.

At the request of a friend...

Hey!

She watched my video!

She watched my video!

Yes!

Mmm!

Windmill it out!

Come on!

I can't do that!

Eve?!

EVE!

Hey, come here.

Crystal texted!

Hey! Crystal-- Crystal texted.

The friend?

What'd she say?

Come to my Dog and Nog.

Hot dogs and eggnog. It's--

It's a thing.

Gagging.

You're so gross!

Let's celebrate.

Ashley told me how to turn on the hot tub.

What?

Come on, let's go!

We'll do some swimming.

Breaststroke.

What? What?

Come on, come on.

Hop up. Hop up. Hop up!

Who could say no to that?

Let's go!

Angela Merkel,

Melania Trump,

or Michelle Obama?

Oh, clear winner.

I gotta marry Michelle.

No!

It's a trick question.

Don't marry anyone.

Just be with someone

and be good to them

for as long

as you both shall live.

Alright.

Did you ever tie the knot?

I almost got married

for the wrong reasons

twice.

Why didn't you pull the trigger?

I think I needed to grow up some.

Yeah.

Hashtag spinster life.

Did you ever

tie the knot?

Nah.

Too busy working.

I...

like the nomad life.

Same.

Mmm. Mmm!

You can work around the clock at a big muscle gym!

"A big muscle gym"?

Mmhmm.

And have tuna fish

and wheatgrass Happy Hours

every Friday morning at 5 a.m.

after boot camp.

That actually sounds pretty great.

Ew! You're the worst.

What?

But I do need to get back to the gym in the new year.

No! You're the worst. People like you!

Always waiting 'til the New Year

"New Year's resolutions"

"Diet starts on Monday."

No, it's now!

Ahh!

Doesn't matter anyway because

I'm getting a full body tuneup, toot sweet.

What?

Yeah.

I'm getting a little NJ and a pick me up.

I don't speak Rodeo Drive.

Uh, liposuction,

some lifts and a nose job.

That's...

crazy.

Is it?

I never had any work done

because I was Cookie Jerk

for 35 fucking years

and then they shot the reboot without me!

They hired an influencer

to play my role with my film family.

So,

I don't think I need to look like Cookie anymore!

Sorry.

It got loud.

It got really loud.

Look...

go for what you want, Eve.

But do it on your terms.

And...

you know...

Don't carve yourself up like a Christmas ham

and expect to be happy after.

Christmas ham?!

That's going to be the title of my memoir.

Or my band name! Aw!

So I whipped my shirt off,

and I had

the world's oldest bra on

like cotton clamshells

from the fifties. I had borrowed it from my mother.

But I was going to do it with my crush,

and then he whispered,

"You're moving too fast."

No!

You did not get laid?

Oh, aw!

I wish!

That-- So,

I was on this TV show out in Arizona,

and there was this woman on set.

God, she was gorgeous.

I was so nervous to talk to her.

But I finally got the chance

to make out with her, right?

But I had had so much Jack Daniels

that by the time...

that it was time...

No boner?

Taffy pull.

Ewww!

That's not good!

No.

She didn't look me in the eyes again.

Aww!

There is one person I still think about from time to time.

You know, my uh...

first.

Mmmm.

You know, 'cause my--

my body said he was something special.

And your brain?

Said we might kill each other.

Should you track him down?

God, no. I mean, I did, years ago. But--

He's married.

Two kids.

Kinda looks like a...

stodgy old man now.

So he got--

I know, I know.

But he doesn't look like fun old.

He looks like

an angry Santa. You know?

Why'd you call it quits?

Well, I think he loved me,

but he didn't like me.

And what is not to like?

Okay.

Okay!

But let's talk about true love.

Let's talk about...

Brianna.

Bianca! It's Bianca!

Come on!

Does your body just know?

Yeah.

- I think so. - Yeah?

All right, well...

that's it for me.

Okay.

I should've had some agua.

- Here. - Here. Get--

- No! - No! Eve! Eve!

Ow!

You okay?

Yeah, I'm okay.

Eve.

I--

I'm sorry.

- It's okay. - It's not okay.

We're just a little drunk.

I'm crazy, but I try to never be a complete douche.

You're not a complete douche.

Just...

maybe a partial douche?

'Kay, I'm gonna...

I--

Can you, uh--

Yeah.

- Okay. - Oh, hey.

"Chin up, Cookie."

Are you doing movie lines on me?

Yea--

Eve--

♪ Girl, what did you do? ♪

Hi. Did you find everything okay?

I did.

Wait,

are you Cookie Jerk?

I'm Cookie Jackass now.

I knew it!

I almost didn't recognize you because...

Got tall?

Yeah!

Eve?

That's why they call me...

Ace Strong.

Okay, can't do that yet. Can't do that yet.

That's okay.

You big old dirty slut!

I cannot believe you tried to bone Ace!

I thought you were done with love and going out in public.

I am.

Yeah, clearly.

Where are you right now?

In Jim's car,

in front of the house.

Okay.

Are you done?

Oh, I am never going to let you live this one down.

Absolutely not, Sister.

Ugh.

Do you have the coconut cake?

I already ate it.

I got something else.

Light her up!

Alright.

Okay, done.

Happy birthday, Baby Girl.

- I love you. - I love you.

Thanks.

Okay now, Evie, say the words.

I don't feel like it today.

I'm not asking.

I'm thankful for my birthday.

Mmhmm.

And every day.

I'm thankful for the chance to get older.

that some people never get.

Mmhmm.

I'm thankful for my family and friends.

And this here red velvet cupcake!

Mmhmm!

Get a big old bite, Sister!

Mmm, that's good.

Mmm!

Oh, Jesus.

That's rude.

What? Is somebody there?

Mmhmm.

Show me. Show me!

Hey! You big jerkface! Why don't you

- back the fuck up? - Stop!

I'm still trying to get that job!

Why do you think I've been doing all these posts about Ace?

What are you talking about?

I'm growing my following the old fashioned way.

Lots of cryptic posts about love.

Oh, my God. You got to take these down right now.

I can't.

They've got shitloads of views.

I can't believe you'd do this to him.

What? It's fine.

He's not even online.

Right! But the studio people that hired him are!

And you can clearly tell it's him in this last one.

- I cannot believe you'd do this!

Ashley, it's fine.

No, it is not.

Do you even know why he's alone for the holidays?

He's recovering from surgery.

Right, and he doesn't want anyone

to know so he can keep his next job.

It's a big one, Evie.

I would think you of all people would respect his privacy.

Ash!

Ash?! Don't "Ash" me. Look.

Take that shit down. Now. I got to go.

Take that shit down now.

Now!

Oh, Jesus.

Brian, talk to me.

So, down to business.

You didn't get the role of Emma.

What? Why?

I have thousands of new followers.

Andrea saw your last post and said it's no bueno.

But we'll get the next one.

Fuck!

Shit!

What do you think, Coach?

It's better.

Yeah?

Long time fanboy, huh?

Suits you.

The red.

You know, I could drive you over there.

She doesn't live that far away.

Oh, my buddy's waiting for me out front.

uh, so the house is yours.

Oh, and

I, uh,

I got you something.

Thanks.

Hey, do you remember the first time we met?

Yeah.

I was kind of a bitch, I guess.

No you weren't.

I was trying to get a kiss from Riley Tippet.

Gross!

Hey, Ace?

You know what my Mimi always says?

The bus comes along

every 10 minutes.

What does that mean?

It means you'll be a heartbreaker

after puberty.

Beat it, squirt.

Puberty.

And I have been a Cookie Jerk fan

ever since.

You were...

magic.

I was young and full of myself.

So be old and full of yourself.

I'm full of something.

All right,

beat it, squirt.

Eve, I--

Ace, actually I want to tell you something.

The other night, I was so messed up.

You've been posting about me?

That's what I wanted to tell you.

See, that wasn't even about you.

- It's just that-- - Eve, what the hell?

Why would you do this?

Listen, I--

I don't want to hear it.

Oh, my gosh!

Let's take a selfie!

Why are you here, Eve?

I just wanted to make sure you got here okay.

And you did. You're doing great!

So I'm just going to go.

I screwed up.

I was so focused on what I wanted

I wasn't even thinking about you.

I just wanted you out of that house.

But somebody told me recently that if I wanted something,

I should go for it on my terms.

But the thing is, right now,

all I want...

is just a little more time with you.

Ooh!

Thank you.

Mistletoe!

Who is next?

She wants you now for Emma.

And your passing?!

Is this some kind of midlife crisis thing now?

No!

But you're bailing on the plastic surgery trip?

Well, I'm still going to get my Botox.

'Cause I'm not an animal.

And Andrea said I could shadow her

while she directs Emma this summer.

So you want to direct now?

I'm getting whiplash over here.

Look, I got to get back to my family.

Yeah, of course.

Let's talk next week.

Maybe you'll come to your senses.
