This Thanksgiving will be full of firsts for Jessica Simpson: her first with fiancé Eric Johnson, her first in New York, and her first with a tofu turkey.

“After getting out of the NFL, [Eric] went to this healer and is very healthy,” Simpson, 30, told Jimmy Fallon of her vegan husband-to-be. “For Thanksgiving we have to make a Tofurkey! It doesn’t sound right! It’s gonna be jiggly and weird.”

And while the singer, who just released her Christmas album, acknowledges that “when [Eric] cooks vegan, it’s good,” she also admits that she comes from a very different background.

“I’m from Texas – I’d fry a steak,” she laughed. “We eat all casseroles and giblets!”

Emmy Rossum has revealed to USA Today that she and Adam Duritz broke up quietly two months ago.

“We’re still very close friends,” she told the paper.

Emmy started dating the Counting Crows frontman last fall, just as her ex-husband, music executive Justin Siegel, filed for divorce after a year and a half of marriage.

Earlier this year, Emmy explained Adam’s appeal to People.

“I get why chicks dig him,” she said. “He’s extremely kind, incredibly intelligent, thoughtful, creative and respectful.”

Adam has dated a slew of beautiful actresses, including Jennifer Aniston and Courteney Cox.

And the season-11 champion of Dancing with the Stars is…

Jennifer Grey! (Did your favorite dancer win?)

The actress, 50, grabbed the ABC competition’s mirrorball trophy on Tuesday’s results show, beating out fellow finalists Kyle Massey and Bristol Palin. Disney star Massey, 19, came in second place, while controversial young mom and political daughter Palin, 20, ranked third.

Grey and pro partner Derek Hough entered the finale as clear frontrunners, scoring raves from judges and a perfect 60 for their two dances on Monday (including an emotional cha-cha tribute to her iconic Dirty Dancing role and late costar Patrick Swayze.)

The star burst into tears immediately after winning. The mother (to Stella, 8, with actor husband Clark Gregg) almost didn’t dance on Tuesday after rupturing a disk the night before and visiting the hospital.

“I’m glad I did [dance]!” a tearful Grey (who endured multiple surgeries for thyroid cancer and an old neck injury before DWTS) admitted to host Tom Bergeron.

Still, it was one of the most hotly contested wins in DWTS history. On Tuesday, ABC said that “a record amount of activity” temporarily overloaded its online and telephone voting systems following Monday’s show, according to the Associated Press. Continue Reading…

John Travolta and Kelly Preston will have a new guest at their Thanksgiving table.

A publicist says the couple welcomed a baby boy Tuesday in Florida. They named their new son Benjamin.

The eight-pound, three-ounce boy was born at an undisclosed Florida hospital.

Spokeswoman Samantha Mast said in a statement late Tuesday that the couple and their daughter, Ella Bleu, “are ecstatic and very happy about the newest member of the family.” The statement says Preston and baby Benjamin “are healthy and doing beautifully.”

This is the third child for Travolta and Preston, who were married in 1991. Their eldest child, son Jett, died last year at age 16.

Looks like this Thanksgiving is shaping up to be a turkey for Lindsay Lohan. The currently rehabbing actress is being forced to spend the holiday in treatment instead of with her family on Long Island.

“As of now she’s not coming home,” a family source exclusively tells E! News. “She’s not allowed to. But Dina’s still trying to get her home.”

How’s that going?

So far, no dice.

Lindsay has been awarded day passes away from her Betty Ford-supervised home in Rancho Mirage for good behavior, visiting her West Hollywood condo and doing a photo shoot for a clothing line. She’s even made amends with her father, Michael, who has been paying visits to her. But it is unlikely she will be spending the holiday with him, either, according to the source.

Per a court order, Lohan must remain in treatment until Jan. 3, and is not permitted to leave the state without permission from the judge.

Looking back, Andrew Lincoln can only laugh. But on an infernally hot morning last summer in Atlanta, when the star of AMC’s zombie survival saga The Walking Dead found himself hacking up a corpse and smearing his sweat-drippy body with its pulpy entrails, the 37-year-old classically trained British thespian really did find it all rather disturbing. “I remember thinking, ‘Please! This is not what I signed up for!’ ” says Lincoln of the audacious moment from the second episode, in which his heroic lawman, Rick Grimes, hatches a plan to escape the zombie horde by trying to look—and smell—like one of them. The wickedly bleak work was so exhausting and unsettling that the actor says he improvised the line that effectively stops the scene (“We need more guts”) only because he wanted the scene to end. Not that it got any better the next day, when Lincoln and young costar Steven Yeun had to zombie-walk through downtown Atlanta with intestines and severed feet draped over their shoulders. “Afterward,” Lincoln says, “Steven asks me, ‘Is this normal for Hollywood?’ And I said, ‘Far from normal, my friend. Far from normal.’ ”

To be clear, no real persons alive or undead were harmed in the filming of that scene. (Your fake-guts recipe: faux blood, Vaseline, K-Y jelly. Mix and enjoy!) To be even more clear, The Walking Dead— developed by Oscar-nominated filmmaker Frank Darabont from an acclaimed comic book by writer Robert Kirkman—is a monster smash, one that’s being hailed as the year’s best new series. Debuting on Halloween to record-breaking ratings for a basic-cable drama, this great and gory end-of-the-world epic has stunned industry observers by holding strong, averaging 5 million viewers a week—more than twice the average of AMC’s now-second biggest hit, Mad Men. The network has already ordered a 13-episode second season that may not arrive until next fall. That may sound like an interminable wait for fans (call them Undeadheads), especially since the first season concludes on Dec. 5 after only six episodes. Then again, Halloween does seem like the most wonderful time of the year for a zombie saga. In the words of exec producer Gale Anne Hurd (The Terminator): “Why mess with a good thing?” (more…)
