Holidays

Arnold Schwarzenegger hosted some law enforcement personnel on Thanksgiving ... though he wasn't expecting them when the day started.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... LAPD responded to a call that a bomb had been placed in the actor-turned-politican's mailbox at his L.A.-area home.

We're told cops rushed to the home and searched the mailbox and surrounding area ... but, they did not find an explosive device.

Donald Trump's seating chart for Thanksgiving is as telling as it gets ... if you wanna know who's gonna have the biggest influence on him come Jan. 20th.

Trump hosted a Thanksgiving shindig at Mar-a-Lago, and at his table, Melania, Barron, of course, and then Elon Musk.

The video is pretty hilarious ... "YMCA" is blasting through the room as Elon busts some pretty weak moves ... no offense, but the Village People would not be impressed.

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner spent part of their Thanksgiving Day doing a good deed -- serving meals to the less fortunate.

The former couple and their three kids -- Violet, Fin and Samuel -- showed up at L.A.’s Midnight Mission on Thursday and distributed food to the homeless. We don’t know what was on the menu -- but it’s a safe bet turkey was one of the items.

Check out video, obtained by TMZ, Ben and Jennifer -- both wearing hairnets and aprons --  are doing their charity work while mingling with the crowd.

Taylor Swift is on Target to clean up this XMAS, because her merch is flying off the shelves.

Target teamed up with T.S. to make Black Friday an "Eras" spectacular ... and unsurprisingly, fans lined up in droves across the U.S. of A.

They came, they bought ... yep, everything they could carry -- a limited edition of the "Eras" book, her C.D., vinyls, etc, etc.

The TMZ staff is making their list and checking it twice! While we've been reporting on who's been naughty and nice in Hollywood ... we've also scoured the web for the best deals this holiday season.

This Black Friday, we're filling our Amazon carts with all the hottest toys and games ... from a Barbie dream home that's straight out the movie to Monster High dolls and LEGO sets that'll keep the kids busy for hours!

Your little ones won't believe their eyes when they see this massive Barbie DreamHouse Playset!

Some of Hollywood's fallen stars won't be chowing down on lavish meals tomorrow ... 'cause even though they're getting turkey and other Thanksgiving staples behind bars, it ain't gonna be what they're used to.

TMZ's done our yearly check ... and, we know the Thanksgiving menus in prison for inmates like Tekashi 6ix9ine, Suge Knight, Danny Masterson and Tory Lanez, among others.

Here's what everyone's gobblin' down:

Netflix is serving up some hot holiday heat with "Hot Frosty" and "The Merry Gentlemen" ... and a top sex doc says these films are a total game-changer 'cause it's just what women need to jingle their bells this season.

Here's the holly jolly ... 2 holiday Netflix films that are all horned up with hunks -- something Hallmark couldn't get away with -- have taken the streamer by storm and gone viral this season.

Sex expert Dr. Laura Berman tells TMZ ... Netflix is killing it with these flicks during the crazy holiday season when libidos tend to take a nosedive -- with women releasing their pent-up frustration with the Hallmark-style sweetness ... but with hot men getting objectified (for once!).

Laura says these steamy holiday flicks are perfect timing -- single women are looking for a stress reliever and longing for someone ... while even women in a relationship need a break from the holiday madness.

She adds it’s clear there’s women at Netflix behind these films who get that women love porn with a plot, and we can totally expect a lot more hot guy holiday content in the future.

But, don’t get too excited, 'cause Laura says we’re still a long way from a full-on Hallmark-style porno!

The turkeys have been bought and the relatives are heading into town, which means there is only one thing left to do ... watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.

The annual holiday celebration is set to take place in New York City this Thursday, Nov. 28 ... marking 100 years since the parade first kicked off.

It has easily become most families' favorite Turkey Day tradition -- outside football, of course -- as the parade boasts a number of memorable balloons, wild floats, and A-list performances.

TMZ caught up with the veteran thespians out in Hollywood celebrating the release of "A Wesley South African Christmas" ... the third installment of the film series and their first to shoot overseas!!!

They've put stock in those characters, just like Jasmine did as "Whitley" on "A Different World' and T.C. as "Kyle" on "Living Single" ... two revered Black sitcoms and they both believe reboots will be successful.

Nick Cannon is giving back to the less fortunate before Thanksgiving ... but he's not giving any love to some of the folks who started this whole holiday.

We got Nick on his way to volunteer Wednesday at the L.A. Mission's Thanksgiving event on Skid Row and our photog asked him about what Turkey Day means to him.

Nick joked ... "I don't f*** with pilgrims" ... and then he got real -- telling us giving back and spending time with family come first.

T-Pain's set to work up an appetite performing at the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade tomorrow ... but don't expect to hear the hitmaker asking anyone to pass the cranberry sauce, because he's not celebrating!!!

TMZ Hip Hop caught up with T-Pain in NYC on Wednesday right before his big broadcast ... the "Low" singer will be churning hits while cruising on the Jennie-O Big Turkey Spectacular float, which contains over 200 pounds of sparkles.

Seeing that he stays booked and busy, he's a little ways from his Atlanta home but Teddy isn't tripping -- he's just gonna tap into the delivery apps!!!
