This week on The It List, Mel Gibson dons the red suit of the most iconic Christmas character - Santa Claus.

But his new movie "Fatman" has a decidedly "Rambo" spin to it as Gibson's St. Nick is pursued by a would-be assassin.

For fans of Billie Eilish, she has two new collectible action figures available for purchase. One inspired by her music video "Bad Guy" and another from "All the Good Girls Go to Hell."

And lastly, Season 22 of "Law & Order: SVU" is back on NBC, perfect for the extended couch lounging we're all dealing with.

- "The It List" is Yahoo's weekly look at the best in pop culture. With the coronavirus pandemic in mind, here are our picks for the week of November 9. In Mel Gibson's new movie, "Fat Man," he plays an iconic-- or rather, the iconic-- Christmas character.

MEL GIBSON: I'm a silly fat man in a red suit.

- Yep, Santa Claus with a generous side of Rambo. Gibson gives St. Nick some grit, as he fends off an assassin, played by Walton Goggins. Speaking of a stocking stuffer, Billie Eilish has the perfect gift for her fans-- collectable action figures.

Depending on your mood or maybe your daughter's mood and available shelf space, you have two options. There's that 10 and 1/2 inch bad guy doll or the 6 inch All The Good Girls Go To Hell doll. Both recreate the images in her wildly popular and pretty freaky music videos.

"Law and Order: SVU" is back with a new season, its 22nd. Over the years, Mariska Hargitay, a.k.a. Detective Olivia Benson, has been a constant presence since the first episode. Christopher Meloni, a.k.a. Detective Elliot Stabler, has been off the show for 10 years until now. Stabler is rejoining season 22 and will also be headlining his own upcoming SVU spin-off titled, "Law and Order: Organized Crime."

CHRISTOPHER MELONI: Why didn't you tell me?
