Ask Stacy -- Week of December 10

DEAR STACY: What is the ever-glamorous and lovely Candice Bergen up to lately? We haven't seen her since "Boston Legal." — Marian E., Chattanooga, Tenn.

DEAR MARIAN: Then you haven't been watching "House" when Bergen has made one of her appearances as Lisa Cuddy's (Lisa Edelstein) mother. Next up, the five-time Emmy Award-winning actress is set for a Broadway run in Gore Vidal's "The Best Man," beginning previews on March 6 and opening April 1. Also starring Eric McCormack, James Earl Jones, Angela Lansbury, John Larroquette and Michael McKean, the 1960 drama focuses on a former U.S. president deciding which of two potential presidential candidates deserves his endorsement. Ambition and political shenanigans abound.

DEAR STACY: The Glade Christmas candle commercial that has reindeer cookies that come alive — what is the music used? It's so Christmasy and fun. — Margi D., San Bernardino, Calif.

DEAR MARGI: That's "Winter Night: Sleigh Ride," one of English composer Frederick Delius' Three Small Tone Poems, along with "Summer Evening" and "Spring Morning."

DEAR STACY: I enjoyed the show "Undercover Boss," because unlike a lot of racy and/or mean-spirited reality shows, it had a lot of heart.

I miss it. Is it gone for good? — L.L., Allentown, Pa.

DEAR L.L.: The CBS show, in which CEOs and company presidents disguise themselves to sample life among rank-and-file workers, is set to return next year.

DEAR STACY: Please settle a disagreement. Is the lead actor in "Royal Pains," Mark Feuerstein, the same actor who played the naval lieutenant commander on "The West Wing" who Donna (Janel Moloney) fell for? — Carla T., Clearwater, Fla.

DEAR CARLA: Feuerstein did have a 2005 character arc in "The West Wing," but as Senate Majority Counsel Cliff Calley, not as a naval officer. Feuerstein has done a lot of series work, including the series "Good Morning Miami" and "Caroline in the City."
