YO, ROCKY! Consider us the city that loves you back. Philadelphians represented big time at the cineplex for pretend hometown hero Rocky Balboa, contributing "massively" to the $42.6 million that "Creed" raked in this holiday weekend, Variety reports.

Speaking of turkeys!

Sorry, Beliebers. While you were Tweeting your sincere concerns for Justin Bieber's well-being after he canceled on the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade, the Beebs was out comporting himself in a most un-Pilgrimlike manner, according to E! News.

Wednesday, he hit up a "historic biker bar" in Orange County, Calif., according to an E! eyewitness.

Friday, he pregamed at a University of Southern California campus bar in Los Angeles prior to attending a concert by The Chainsmokers at the Shrine Auditorium.

Well, of course Philly love$ 'Creed'

Yo, Rocky! Consider us the city that loves you back.

Philadelphians represented big time at the cineplex for pretend hometown hero Rocky Balboa, contributing "massively" to the $42.6 million that "Creed" raked in this holiday weekend, Variety reports.

"Philadelphia is on fire and it has been since opening day," Warner Bros. exec Jeff Goldstein told the movie-biz publication.

Three local theaters were in the Top 10 for "Creed" ticket sales nationally: AMC Neshaminy, AMC Cherry Hill and Regal Riverview Plaza.

Normally, Goldstein told Variety, theaters in New York and Los Angeles grab the top spots.

The seventh installment of the "Rocky" franchise stars Sylvester Stallone as Rocky and Michael B. Jordan as the son of Apollo Creed.

But if you live here, you knew that already.

Meanwhile, at ringside

US Magazine reports that "Nashville" star Hayden Panettiere, who in real life plays the Adrian to boxer fiance Wladimir Klitschko, was on hand for his heavyweight championship fight in Duesseldorf, Germany, this weekend.

Wlad lost, but it was nice to see Hayden back on the mend after a frightening bout of postpartum depression.

Boxing, round 3

Real-life Philly boxing great Bernard Hopkins did his real-nice turkey giveaway again this Thanksgiving.

False alarm

Ryan Seacrest is not - we repeat not - engaged.

TMZ.com reports that paparazzi saw Seacrest traveling in London Sunday with a woman who was flashing some serious rock on her ring finger, and they assumed it was his gorgeous blonde gal pal Renee Hall.

The rumor mill went wild.

But it was all a big mix up.

TMZ says the gorgeous blonde with the great big diamond was actually Sarah Much, the fiance of celeb Realtor Kurt Rappaport.

The two couples were traveling as a foursome.

No pressure, now, Ry Ry.

Next-gen Kennedy

Former U.S. Rep. Patrick Kennedy and his wife Amy, who live down the Shore in Brigantine, welcomed daughter Nell to their family at 4:31 a.m. Sunday.

The happy, healthy, holiday-weekend arrival weighed in at 6 pounds. The couple has two other daughters - Harper and Nora - and one son, Owen.

Patrick is the son of the late U.S. Sen. Ted Kennedy.
