So it should come as no surprise that Anderson -- who divorced <a href="http://articles.chicagotribune.com/1998-02-27/news/9802270035_1_divorce-filed-pamela-anderson-lee">Tommy Lee in 1998</a>, <a href="http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,1563173,00.html">Kid Rock in 2006</a>, and annulled her two-month marriage to <a href="http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20186033,00.html">Rick Salomon in 2008</a> -- will be spending her Thanksgiving <a href="http://www.nypost.com/p/pagesix/tickle_pam_turkey_hxKnTnhtGE8A6i0I1uSk9J">"hang[ing] out with turkeys,"</a> not eating them.

  After 11 years of marriage, "Twilight" actor Peter Facinelli <a href="http://www.tmz.com/2012/03/28/peter-facinelli-divorce-jennie-garth/">filed for divorce</a> from Jennie Garth in March 2012.

The girls -- <a href="http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20619164,00.html">Luca, Lola and Fiona</a> -- will spend <a href="http://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/jennie-garth-peter-facinelli-splitting-holidays-with-daughters-20121411#ixzz2CPQCrZpw">Turkey Day with their dad</a> and Christmas with their mom. But Garth still<a href="http://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/jennie-garth-peter-facinelli-splitting-holidays-with-daughters-20121411#ixzz2CPQCrZpw"> plans to celebrate Thanksgiving </a>with her daughters, even if it's not on Thursday.

Sounds like a great arrangement to us!

  "Top Chef" host Padma Lakshmi -- who <a href="http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20044329,00.html">split from husband of three years</a>, author Salman Rushdie, in July 2007 -- recently told Us Weekly that her <a href="http://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/pictures/stars-family-holiday-traditions-20123110/25839">favorite part of the Thanksgiving meal</a> is the stuffing. But what is the Bravo foodie's Thanksgiving plan?
