Click here for the best classic Halloween music video of all time: Michael Jackson’s “Thriller”

And here are the inmates at a jail in the Philippines doing a dance practice to “Thriller” that was part of their daily exercise in prison.

If you want to learn more about this, google “Cebu Philippines Thriller” and a whole bunch of stuff will come up. Pretty amazing… They’ve done a bunch of dances. Here’s “Hail Holy Queen” from Sister Act:

Here is the YouTube grainy version of “Gimme More” (Britney’s new single).

TERRIBLE! This is hardly dancing!!! And shouldn’t Britney’s videos be trying to improve her image, rather than making her out to be a pole dancer?

UPDATE: Much clearer version on the MTV website here.

Last night’s episode of “The Hills” was relatively low on drama. Mostly it focused on LC and Whitney’s big business trip to NYC. Which brings me to my main observation of the entire episode: What the heck was Whitney’s shirt in the scene with their boss before they left for NYC??? It looks like an ace bandage skirt that she decided to wear as a strapless top!! Totally unflattering, which is hard on a girl as gorgeous as Whitney!

Here’s Paris Hilton in her Halloween “sexy Alice in Wonderland” get-up. Creepy - Alice in Wonderland is supposed to be an 9 year-old girl!

No big difference this Halloween than Paris in previous years, but at least it’s a unified concept. More than I can say for Ms. Lavigne.

Ahem. Where are all the celebrity halloween costumes this year?

I recognize that Halloween isn’t for a couple of days, but the weekend is O.V.E.R. (my law galpals and I went to a party as a 9-member punk rock band), and I have yet to see either hide or hair of Heidi Klum and the other usual suspects in their party getups!!

Must we settle for Avril Lavigne in this monstrosity? (Source: Perez Hilton)

She looks like Judy Jetson gone bad.

I know this isn’t a food blog, but OH. MY. GOSH.

I’ve just had the best apple of my life! I decided to create something of an apple sampler at the grocery store yesterday, and the STAYMAN apple is the clear winner. Its texture is crisp! Its flavor is perfect! It’s got that kind of rough skin texture that lets you know you’re getting a real apple, not a genetically engineered supermarket blah apple. Also it’s really dark red, so you get to pretend you’re Snow White. I keep taking a bite and then lying on the floor like I’m in a glass casket. I love it!

These are a Virginian species, discovered by a man named Stayman in 1866 - I recommend you get them ASAP!!

Oh please, please, please let this be true. Not since Phinneas and Hazel will such babies be welcomed into the entertainment world.

The NY Daily News has an item claiming that Christina Aguilera is rumored to be carrying twins! (See article here, midway down page)

This is awesome!!! I hope she and Jordie have two boys and name them Ben and Sam!  Wouldn’t it be heaven?

It’s sad that it’s come to the point where, when a celeb doesn’t look the way I remember, the assumption my mind makes is that they got work done.

Here is Cheri Oteri with Jessica Simpson (yes, this is also a flagrant excuse to put more J-Simp stories up here) at a Frederick’s of Hollywood bash. My first thoughts: “THAT’S Cheri Oteri???” Something about the cheeks…or the chin…or the teeth…or the nose…I could go on…

Something’s different… I thought. Then I started looking around for old pictures of Cheri (see below, on right for a picture the way I remember her) and realized that she’s looked quite varied over the years. The cute little maniacal look she wore in “Austin Powers” and other SNL-related comedies seems to really just be a look she can do to her face.

I think this may actually be how she looks now, au naturel.
