With the Thanksgiving holiday approaching, celebs are starting to talk turkey.

At swanky Soho House on Wednesday evening, Sony Cierge hosted an exclusive holiday preview for the company’s latest gadgets. Channing Tatum‘s bride Jenna Dewan showed, along with Kimberly Elise, David Spade and AJ Buckley. The crowd scored Sony Cyber-shot cameras to document memories from the season.

Valerie Bertinelli prepared in a very practical way -- by setting ground rules to stay fit and trim.

Bertinelli hit Jenny Craig’s Surviving the Holidays event at the swanky Montage Hotel in Beverly Hills. She picked up advice on where to snack and when to skimp, and enjoyed low-calorie cocktails.
