Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade
Where: 79th Street to Macy's Herald Square
Who Was There: Kylie Minogue, Jessica Simpson, Kanye West, Miranda Cosgrove, Arlo Guthrie , Gladys Knight, India Arie, Joan Rivers, Melissa Rivers, Jimmy Fallon
Other Details: The 84th annual parade was not all giant balloons, marching bands, and a waving, jolly Santa. While Woody Wood Pecker behaved himself and the Cat in the Hat managed to not put anyone in a coma, there was plenty of controversy. Kylie Minogue's fans were angered that she didn't actually sing live causing the pop star to Tweet: " "Relax peeps, EVERYONE has to mime at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade!"" Additionally, Miss New York Dana Reeves crashed Miss USA Rima Fakih's float and had to be led away by police escort. Though we can't be sure who, someone in the crowd undoubtedly called Jessica Simpson fat and wondered if she is perhaps, knocked up. [Via]
And in a special treat for Kanye West haters, please enjoy this clip of the crowd booing him and chanting "Taylor! Taylor!"

There I was in this sea of girls and I was the prettiest and my sign had more glitter and stickers and when he looked out over the crowd of 2,000 he saw straight into my soul and realized we were meant for each other and are gonna get married and have babies with good hair. Then my mom was all like, "We have to go," and I was all, "Mooommmm!!!" JB 4Eva!!! [Via]
