I love these sort of holidays! Sarah Brightman was photographed by our Splash team as a rather fetching pirate on the Jolly Polly Pirate ship. I managed to catch a good deal of the parade, and Sarah was one of the hottest looking float women I saw today! Love the saucy boots and feathered cap. Ahoy, matey?

I started paying more attention to Sean Kingston since I saw him on The Hills. (Uh-oh, I've exposed myself as a Hills watcher. . .) In one recent episode, Sean sent Audrina Patridge a thank-you bouquet of flowers after his performance the night before. He's a total gentleman, and he's just 17! Sean Kingston was spotted in Philadelphia today enjoying Boscov's Thanksgiving Day parade for Channel 6 ABC.

Original drummer of Lynyrd Skynyrd Thomas Pyle was arrested for failing to register himself as a sex offender. He was booked by police in St. John's County, Florida after he spoke with the detectives about a conviction in '93. Pyle pleaded guilty in 1993 to charges of attempted capital sexual battery on a victim under the age of 12, and principal to lewd and lascivious acts on a child under 16 years of age. He had previously gotten eight years probation and was ordered to register as a sex offender. Since he, um, didn't, he's sitting in jail right now with a bail set at $10,000. Honestly, these kinds of guys could ruin southern rock entirely. *Hiding Second Helping album*

Jordin Sparks looks really, really happy here at the Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City, but when she was waving away on her float, I'm sad to report that people were jeering. Well, you'd hardly know it from her expression, and I suppose that's what matters.

Ronnie Wood posed next to his frighteningly realistic portrait yesterday at a book signing in Piccadilly Circus in London. I have to admit I'm a little curious about Ronnie, which covers everything from family to art to life to. . . well, hopefully there are some good bits, too. ;)

Okay, yes. I know that Meg Ryan is about to fly, but usually I look this disheveled post flight. Erm, and I wasn't sure if she was wearing pants with a super-high slit or just a pair of pants with a low-hanging crotch. It looks like the latter. Eeeek! Meg Ryan was seen going through the LAX checkpoint with her son Jack and daughter Daisy yesterday.
