For the record, Sarah Chalke has holiday spirit. She’s expecting her first child, a son, on Christmas Day, and she’s one of the stars of Disney Prep & Landing, the first Christmas special exec produced by John Lasseter for ABC (premieres Dec.1, at 8:30 p.m. ET, right before Chalke makes the first of four guest appearances on the new season of Scrubs). She voices Magee, the North Pole Christmas Eve Command Center Coordinator, who partners with jaded elf Wayne (The Kids in the Hall’s Dave Foley) with an idealistic rookie partner Lanny (Men in Trees‘ Derek Richardson). Hilarity really does ensue as they prepare a boy’s home for Santa’s arrival, just like it did when EW asked Chalke to name her least favorite holiday song.

“I was actually kicked out of the choir when I was in Grade 5,” she says. “My sister and I, we’re not very musical, so our choir teacher would say, ‘Chalke girls, just mouth the words for this performance.’ And this was not a professional choir, this was all the kids from the class going to the mall and singing. Like, ‘Is it really gonna hurt if you have two people who are not in tune?’ We were so excited about Christmas and excited about this mall performance, so there we were mouthing the words to ‘Here Comes Santa Claus.’ For some reason, that song just really brings that back. And it scarred us for life. The reason I wanted to go into acting was because I wanted to be Eponine in Les Mis, and then that just kind of had to go by the wayside.”

Is there a holiday song for which you harbor a secret, irrational hatred? Because we know you’ll share, we’ll give you a gift after the jump: Chalke’s equally mortifying hilarious answer to the question “What’s the most embarrassing song on your iPod?”

“The most embarrassing song on my iPod is ‘Baby Got Back’ by Sir Mix-A-Lot. And what’s more embarrassing than the song is probably the number of times it gets played,” she says. “For Grad Parent Night in Grade 12, a lot of the kids played violin or did, like, a skill. Ten of my girlfriends and I did a dance to ‘Baby Got Back.’ I know every single word. That’s my karaoke go-to, because I can’t sing anything with any sort of a melody. Not that ‘Baby Got Back’ doesn’t have melody, ’cause it does. I take it very seriously.”

The National Ledger has posted the following interview with Sarah where she discusses more about her part in “Scrubs” season 9 and how her real life pregnancy fits into it all!

Sarah Chalke has been enjoying being back in her “Scrubs” gear as Dr. Elliot Reid filming shows for the series’ Dec. 1-debuting new season “that’s centered around a med school with all these young cast members, John C. McGinley’s character (Dr. Cox), and Turk (Donald Faison). It’s been so much fun to be back and see everybody,” she says. “I’m doing around four episodes and then I’ll go have the baby. I was tired at the beginning of the pregnancy, then loaded with energy in the middle. I can feel that tired is starting to come back now.”

Chalke, who is expecting next month with her fiance, attorney Jamie Afifi, says that the show “definitely parallels real life” in terms of her pregnancy. She and Zach Braff are on hand to help launch the new version. He’s reportedly aboard for six episodes. And his character’s flash-forward at the end of last season has become true — J.D. and Elliot have married and are expecting. Chalke smilingly notes, “That flash-forward — I was obviously not pregnant at that time because we filmed it over a year ago.”

The beautiful Chalke will also be heard Dec. 1 as the voice of the elf who serves as Santa’s command center coordinator on the animated Disney special “Prep & Landing.”

“My character is a multi-tasker; she can do 10 things at once. She wears jingle-bell jewelry. And she has an obsession with scalding hot lattes — she chugs eggnog lattes in giant bowl mugs. She’s up around the clock,” describes the actress. Dave Foley also provides a star voice for the special — the first Walt Disney animation special for ABC, produced by John Lasseter.

While shooting Lifetime’s latest original miniseries, “Maneater,” star Sarah Chalke ended up with her pants around her ankles.

“I have never tap-danced in my life and I was kicked out of the choir in the fifth grade because I can’t sing, but for this movie I had to tap-dance and sing in one scene … when I was supposed to be nine months pregnant,” Chalke told the Daily News. “So I had tap shorts over fishnets around a fake pregnancy belly, and when I put my arms up to tap-dance in front of 300 people, my pants fell down. It was like embarrassment laid on top of embarrassment laid on top of embarrassment.”

“Maneater,” a miniseries premiering this Saturday and Sunday at 9, is based on a book of the same name by Gigi Levangie Grazer, who also wrote “The Starter Wife.”

Chalke plays Clarissa Alpert, a shallow, 32-year-old (who only admits to being 28) socialite who starts planning her wedding to Hollywood’s hottest new producer before they’ve even met.

Though Chalke says she doesn’t have much in common with Clarissa (except that they’re both planning weddings, though Chalke has known her fiance for some time), she was eager to play the part.

“I devoured the book in one sitting and thought it was fantastic. Then I read the script right after and loved it because I thought it was a great combination of funny and heartbreaking,” said Chalke. “I laughed out loud and cried at the end.

“To play a character who, in the course of four hours onscreen, goes from being this gold digger who thinks that all you need in life is the right hair, makeup, clothes and money to realizing what’s really important – I knew it would be a crazy journey,” she added.

Chalke, who previously starred in Lifetime’s “Why I Wore Lipstick to My Mastectomy,” is hoping “Maneater” sees the same kind of success as “The Starter Wife,” which was eventually turned into a regular series on the network.

“We’ll see how it does,” she said. “I think it would be fun [to do a series], and I think the material lends itself to that well because of the way it’s set up.”

Meanwhile, Chalke’s other show, ABC’s “Scrubs,” has been renewed for a ninth season.

“I don’t really know what’s going to happen with that yet, but it’s so exciting that it’s going to go another year,” Chalke said. “For all of us, it was such a gift that we even got to do an eighth. After the writers strike, to get to come back and do a proper finale was really cool.”

Getting out of her “Scrubs” and into high fashion for her new starring role on Lifetime Television’s “Maneater” was just what Sarah Chalke needed to find the designer for her dress for her upcoming wedding.

Sarah has been engaged to entertainment lawyer and fellow Canadian Jamie Afifi since December 2006, when Jamie popped the question while the couple was on vacation in Hawaii, but the couple has yet to marry. That may be changing soon, as Sarah reveals to ET that when she tried on a Monique Lhuillier wedding gown for her role as Clarissa, she found the perfect dress.

“I loved the one I got to wear so much that I asked the costumer, ‘What do you think if I get married in this one, and we find a different one for the movie?’” Sarah tells ET.

Those who have read the eponymous book by Gigi Levangie Grazer know that Clarissa begins planning her wedding to Aaron (Philip Winchester) before she even meets him — and then she plots with her BFFs to make it happen!

“Where the similarities between Clarissa and I end is that we’re both planning a wedding, but I met my fiancé through friends on a ski trip, and she stalked hers and picked him out and planned a wedding before she even met him,” Sarah explains. “I hadn’t tried on wedding dresses yet, so it was actually really fun to do that for the part, and I got to try on a ton of these beautiful Monique Lhuillier wedding dresses.”

“Maneater” is the second book by Grazer that Lifetime Television has turned into a mini-series. The first, “Starter Wife,” went to series. So is Sarah up for that if lighting should strike twice?

“‘Scrubs’ did get renewed for season nine,” she points out. “I don’t know yet what [my involvement] will be, but regardless, I’m so glad that it got picked up.”

As for a return to “How I Met Your Mother,” she tells ET, “I actually don’t know the answer to that. “It was just supposed to be for a few days, and then it just kind of evolved into more. The creators of “How I Met Your Mother, ” Craig and Carter and then Bill, the creator of “Scrubs,” were just really generous to let me go back and forth for a little, which was very fun, but I didn’t sleep for about five weeks. I guess we’ll have to see what ends up happening with “Maneater.”

Part one of “Maneater” premieres on Saturday, May 30, followed by part two on Sunday, May 31, both at 9 p.m. on Lifetime Television.
