Maggie Gyllenhaal Talks Thanksgiving W/ Taylor

Maggie Gyllenhaal had an extra reason to be thankful this year: She got to spend Thanksgiving with her brother Jake and his new sudden squeeze, Taylor Swift.

The new Us Weekly (on newsstands now) has the first photos of the two lovebirds taking a stroll in Brooklyn's Park Slope neighborhood, where Maggie, 33, and her family live.

Asked how the day went, Maggie told Us Magazine Thursday at the Focus For Change benefit in NYC: "Great."

She paused when asked what makes her brother, 29, such a great guy, prompting her husband, Peter Sarsgaard, to tell Us: "Why is Jake a wonderful guy? Because he's an adventurer!"

Kim Kardashian & Gabriel Bond Over Family

They haven't been dating long, but Kim Kardashian and her model beau Gabriel Aubry (yes, Halle Berry's ex!) are finding out they have some important values in common.

"He likes how family-oriented she is," says a pal. And likewise, Kardashian, 30, appreciates his devotion to his 2-year-old daughter Nahla, with Berry.

While Kardashian is "trying to take it slow," says the source, she and Aubry spent the Thanksgiving holiday together in L.A. and he met the whole Kardashian clan.

On Tuesday, the couple spent the evening hanging out but the next day Aubry, 35, made time for his daughter.

Kardashian and Aubry, who went public at a recent L.A. Lakers game, met through mutual friends in New York. "She likes that he's so cool and relaxed," adds a friend of the pair. "He's great."

Christina Aguilera Meets New Guy's Mom

Christina Aguilera has been spending time with her new guy Matt Rutler – and his family.

Aguilera, who recently filed for divorce from husband Jordan Bratman, had a festive night out with Rutler at the Abbey in West Hollywood on Nov. 24. The couple were seen dancing, according to an onlooker, who added: "Christina was in a great mood and seemed very into Matt."

Aguilera, 29, spent Thanksgiving in Los Angeles with friends. Then after the holiday, the singer and Rutler, who worked as a set assistant on her film Burlesque, jetted to New York, while her son Max stayed with his dad for the holiday weekend.

"This is the first Thanksgiving she was without Max," says a source. "It was really hard for her and she was feeling sad, so she decided to go to the East Coast with Matt and a group of friends."

On Saturday, Aguilera, Rutler and a few pals went to Rhode Island for a spontaneous visit to Rutler's family home where they spent time with his mom, Kathleen.

"Since his family lives so close, they decided to drop in for a few hours," says the source.

But the source insists that meeting the family doesn't mean Aguilera and Rutler are getting more serious. "They’re still getting to know each other better," says the source.

Taylor Swift and Jake Gyllenhaal in Nashville

It's been a busy travel weekend for most Americans – and especially for Taylor Swift and Jake Gyllenhaal.

Two days after enjoying maple lattes together in Brooklyn, N.Y., on Thanksgiving, Swift and Gyllenhaal popped up in the singer's hometown of Nashville.

On Saturday afternoon, the couple were spotted getting a late breakfast at Fido, a coffeehouse and café near Vanderbilt University and Music Row.

"They were smiling and laughing. They were talking a lot and enjoying each other's company," fellow diner Elaina Mishu tells PEOPLE. "They didn't look like [just] friends."

Customer Emma Rice, who snapped a photo of the pair and posted it online, calls the duo "very cute" and says, "They seemed close."

The singer, 20, and actor, 29, were first spotted together in late October.

And while Gyllenhaal has avoided commenting on his relationship with Swift, they aren't hiding their affection.

"They were not trying to be discreet by any means," another eyewitness says of the pair, who sat at a table near a window. "They were definitely a couple. They looked very happy."

Lindsay Lohan Visits Ex GF On Thanksgiving

Lindsay Lohan spent part of her Thanksgiving working out at a local gym -- and TMZ has learned Lindsay didn't just spend the day with daddy ... she also saw ex-girlfriend Samantha Ronson.

Lindsay got in a little light workout at a not-so-private gym in Los Angeles early Thanksgiving morning. According to our sources, Lindsay went on to break bread with a few friends -- including SamRo -- at her apartment in West Hollywood.

We're told Michael Lohan showed up at Lindsay's place around 5:30 PM and then Lindsay had to head back to her sober living facility.

Lindsay had originally wanted to spend the holiday back in NY with Dina and the fam, but Betty Ford denied the request.

Jessica Simpson: Fiance Hid Ring "In A Shoe"

Jessica Simpson's fiance Eric Johnson was super-sneaky planning his Nov. 11 proposal.

As Simpson, 30, explained during a Tuesday appearance on the Jimmy Fallon Show, Johnson, 31, was in cahoots with her parents Joe and Tina and her little sister Ashlee Simpson-Wentz about the impending moment.

"He had talked to my dad, he had talked to my mom, he even talked to my sister. Everybody knew but me!" Simpson said, adding her family kept the secret "for about three weeks."

As for her $150,000 ring? "He kept the ring hidden in a shoe at my house," the star said of the Neil Lane bauble, a 5-carat ruby (Simpson's birthstone) flanked by 3-carat diamonds.

When he finally popped the question, "It was at my house," Simpson said. "It was romantic that he actually asked me at my house, because that's my little safe haven."

The star will be spending Thanksgiving in NYC with her hubby-to-be -- and, for the first time, the native Texan will be doing it vegan style to please her health-conscious man.

"For Thanksgiving we have to make a Tofurkey!" Simpson said. "It doesn't sound right! It's gonna be jiggly and weird."

Lindsay Lohan Can't Go Home For The Holidays

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.
