    "Christmas Can Be Such a Bitch" was the tasteful advertising tag line for this updated and revised TV-movie adaptation of Dickens' oft-filmed fable A Christmas Carol. This time around, Victorian penny-pincher Ebenezer Scrooge as been transformed into a beautiful, imperious, foul-mouthed pop singer named Ebony (Vanessa L. Williams). Lording it over her staff in general and her long-suffering manager and former boyfriend Bob Cratchett (Brian McNamara) in particular, Ebony intends to callously exploit the Yuletide season by staging a charity Christmas concert "on behalf of the homeless," an act of "generosity" designed mainly to up her popularity and increase her own bank account. Inevitably, on the eve of the concert, the contentious Ebony is visited by a number of spirits who persuade her to change her ways before it's too late. Chilli of TLC is seen as the ghost of Ebony's former singing partner Marli Jacob while Duran Duran's John Taylor shows up as the Spirit of Christmas Present. No better or worse than any other "improved" version of the Dickens original, A Diva's Christmas Carol was filmed in Montréal and telecast over VH1 on December 13, 2000.

    October 29, 2007: Vanessa Williams is excellent in the role of as a diva who has stomped her way to the top by backstabbing back-up singers, being cruel to her manager, and cheap with her roadies. Then comes Christmas Eve and she gets a much needed wake up call. Mariah Carey and Diana Ross beware...

    January 13, 2003: I love this movie! Vanessa Williams shines as Ebony Scrooge, a miserly, spoiled rotten singer who, over the course of many years has forgotten the meaning of Christmas. On Christmas Eve, she is visited by 3 unique spirits made up of John Taylor (Duran Duran), Kathy Griffin (she was hysterical in this movie and the Ghost of Christmas Past), and a unique, and entertaining version of the Ghost of Christmas yet to Come (ingenious). This movie is a must have for any time of the year!
