When Michael Jackson died on June 25th, his death came as a shock to his millions of beloved fans across the world.  It’s not surprising then that people are already buying tickets to his upcoming documentary titled “Michael Jackson: This Is It” and it doesn’t even open until October 28.  I think the fact that it’s only a limited two-week run makes a difference too.  Everyone wants to make sure they get in to see it.

This year on Halloween Michael Jackson costumes are going to be a huge hit!  We’re going to see a lot of kids and adults wearing the trade mark sequined gloves, dark sunglasses and white socks.

I have a feeling we’ll be seeing Michael Jackson costumes for a long time to come!  Does Elvis Presley ring a bell?  He died 32 years ago and Elvis costumes are still as popular as ever!

So this year make your Halloween a “Thriller” night by dressing up as The King of Pop!

Hey All!  Hank here.   Anna needed a short break from all this Halloween madness so I thought I’d write in her blog  — but from a guy’s point of view.   Personally, I think Anna takes this Halloween stuff a little too seriously so my topic today will be . . .  SEXY CELEBRITY HALLOWEEN COSTUME DISASTERS.  Yeah!  We’ll see what Anna thinks when she gets back. 

Every year Halloween comes around and the celebrity magazines are full of the worlds hottest glitterati strutting around as vampires, zombies, witches, and sometimes, each other. Of course, every year those of us who are not quite as hot, popular or wealthy get to mock them mercilessly.

How can these wonderfully attractive celebrities get their costumes so wrong? Surely with lookers such as these they could make any outfit work … right?    

What is my criteria?

1. Sexy, not trashy preferred.
2. Anything meant for a child is just … wrong.
3. Goofy, dumb or idiotic … well, they have the rest of the year for that!

Let’s take a look …

Halloween FAIL – 15 Sexy Celebrities Halloween Costume Disasters

1. The Olsen Twins – The Olsens should be glad that in this case less really is more. Perhaps this was just another way to underline that they are not kids any more? Either way, I am sure they turned heads. Next time rent a complete costume each girls!

2. Alyssa Milano – Alyssa seems to have grabbed her costume from the under-fives section of the Disney store … not that I am complaining!

3. Mariah Carey – This is probably the scariest picture of the lot. Who wouldn’t be afraid being faced by an unhinged bride?

4. Anne Hathaway – Ms Hathaway falls under the “it could have been so much better” category.  An opportunity missed *sigh*.

5. Elisha Cuthbert – Poor Elisha, nobody understood what her costume was meant to be! I for one applaud her for stepping out in Clockwork Orange style.

6. Avril Lavigne – What on earth is Avril dressed as? Or is this her usual attire?

7. Heidi Klum – Heidi as the 6 foot tall rat from hell. Or is she meant to be a cat? Wingless vampire bat?

8. Reese Witherspoon – One of the more restrained attempts but she comes off as being dressed like a normal Goth rather than a celebrity in costume. Really, this outfit wouldn’t look out of place in some clubs any night of the year.

9. Teri Hatcher – Another theft from the children’s section, and here we even see the Toys R Us logo to prove it! She did however manage to squeeze into it. Valiant shoe horn efforts and robust stitching save the day. Just.

10. Paris Hilton – A famous party animal, Paris Hilton can be counted on to give a show. Just not sure how spooky she thought this little Alice in Wonderland number was meant to be.

11. Britney Spears – Poor Britney, I feel bad for all the harsh criticisms she has been forced to take, but man, she doesn’t make it easy on herself does she?

12. Christina Aquilera – Christina keeps it classy in the “Adult Entertainment” mail order catalogue standard “sexy nurse” outfit. Thankfully she somehow pulls it off despite her lack of creativity.

13. Lindsay Lohan – Lindsay left onlookers wondering if this is the before or after shot. Seriously though, was the theme merely substance abuse inflicted bad fashion sense or is there some concept behind this?

14. Kate Beckinsale – Actually, scratch this one, I rather like it! Hubba hubba …

15. Fergie – Isn’t this how Fergie always dresses? C’mon girl, make an effort!

Well, there you have it … my list of the Sexiest Celebrity Halloween Costume Disasters.  Hope you like.  Now, I’d better get outta here before Anna comes back.

Ciao!

 

Hi everyone!  Summer is moving right along and already the stores are having “back to school” sales.  I know my kids aren’t ready to go back to school yet and actually I’m not ready for them to go either.  There’s still so much swimming and vacationing we have yet to do!

Today is a big day at movie theaters all across the country.  The fifth Harry Potter movie, “The Order of the Phoenix” was officially released today in the United States!  In many theaters they even had midnight showings last night!  Everyone wants to be the first to see it.  My 15 year old niece was one of those people.  She went to the midnight show with a bunch of her friends and when they got to the theater at 9:00pm to purchase the tickets ahead of time, they were already sold out!  They ended up going to another theater and were able to get tickets there.  She said it was awesome and that the movie theater was packed!  Her older brother (my nephew) is actually coming over today to take my son, Caden to see it.  He is beside himself about seeing this movie!

The story of the orphaned wizard student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and his two best friends, Ron and Hermione, has sold 397 million copies worldwide, while the Warner Brothers movies grossed $3.8 billion.  Next weeks release of J. K. Rowling’s 7th and final book, “Deathly Hallows” is the largest in publishing history – 12 million copies will be shipped to bookstores.  Thousands of costumed young wizards will stake out bookstores July 20 for the midnight release.  Also, there are many “witchin hour” Potter parties at bookstores and libraries across the country.  So if you still need a Harry Potter robe, scarf or wand – don’t wait – here’s a link to all of the Harry Potter items we have on our site: Harry Potter Costumes

This Halloween, I’m sure we’ll be seeing lots of little Harry Potter’s running about trick-or-treating!
