Thanksgiving will be a Tex-Mex feast for Extra host Mario Lopez, who is heading to his sister's house in Texas for the holiday. "She does this elaborate Thanksgiving dinner and it's amazing!" he says. "I'm always like her little sous chef."

He recently ran in the ING New York City Marathon, in 4 hours and 20 minutes, and had a blast with the crowds. "I could have shaved seriously a half hour off of my time if I was kind of more serious about running, but I'm chatting and visiting!" His secret to enduring the long race? He gets some extra inspiration from his MOTOACTV music player, which tracks his heart rate. "It can also determine what song motivates you so [if] I need to pick up my pace? Bam! Eighties jams!"
