No, Im still not sure what my plans are for Thanksgiving yet. You going to invite Aunt Jean? Hows she doing? Once the phone was handed over to his mother, sources confirmed Heltman spent the remainder of the call steering the conversation away from his romantic life with repeated inquiries about the family dog.
