Chris Brown possibly dressed as terrorist for Halloween. Surprised? Neither are we

There are plenty of celebrities that dressed as interesting things for this year’s Halloween. Some were clever and hilarious (Miley Cyrus as Nicki Minaj), some were oddly tasteless (Avril Lavigne’s ex as…Avril Lavigne and Chad Kroeger), and others were just a little sad (‘N Sync sans Justin Timberlake). And then there’s Chris Brown.

In typical “I may in fact be the worst person on earth” fashion, the pop singer chose to dress in a costume that looked suspiciously like Osama Bin Laden. His “clique,” as he calls them, were also dressed similarly. It’s a conceit so flagrantly offensive that I’m half- tempted to give him some props for sticking it to…everyone, everywhere. But I won’t, since, you know, he may in fact be the worst person on earth.

Rihanna, you are one lucky woman.

Once more, with feeling: Kate Nash and friends perform all of 'Buffy' musical ep's songs

British chanteuse Kate Nash likes Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Like, really likes Buffy the Vampire Slayer. So much that she spent Halloween performing the soundtrack of “Once More, with Feeling” — Buffy‘s beloved musical episode — in its entirety at London’s Hackney Attic. Complete with costumes, staking motions, and the parking ticket song! (Doesn’t look like “They Got the Mustard Out” made it onto YouTube, though.)

Check out Nash and co.’s take on the episode’s first song, “Going Through the Motions,” below — and find the rest of the set here. It’s truly something to sing about.

Happy Halloween! Miley Cyrus, Patton Oswalt, and more celebs celebrate

When Halloween falls in the middle of the week — and is celebrated the previous weekend — the holiday seems to last for days and days. That’s fine by us, since it gives that many more opportunities to marvel at celebrity costumes.

The meta trend seems especially big this year, with stars like Ellen DeGeneres, Emma Roberts, Glee‘s Chord Overstreet, and, er, that guy who was married to Avril Lavigne all dressing up as other famous people. Now Miley Cyrus has followed in those famous footsteps, showing off her take on Peg Bundy Nicki Minaj via her Twitter page. Check out Miley’s getup — as well as several other decked-out boldfaced names — after the jump.

Ladies and gentlemen, we have the celebrity Halloween costume to beat.

In the wake of Hurricane Sandy’s devastation, the Today show canceled its annual Halloween showcase. But Ellen DeGeneres stepped up to the laughter plate today, showing her “cheeky” costume on this afternoon’s episode of Ellen: Sofia Vergara. Specifically, Vergara’s infamous Emmy dress that split open mid-ceremony, revealing (a bit NSFW) more than she bargained for.

“Happy Halloween. As you can see I put my pumpkins out,” DeGeneres said, gesturing to the fake chest spilling out of her dress. Mimicking Vergara’s accent, DeGeneres proceeded to explain that she thought Vergara’s voice was a bit overdone. “I get so much work with this fake accent,” DeGeneres declared.

But never fear that the host was being mean – mid-mocking, the real Vergara showed up, and she couldn’t hold back a smile. Despite trying to look angry, the Modern Family actress got the last laugh: “Your a** looks huge,” Vergara said.

New Google Doodle celebrates Halloween

Like Google wasn’t going to celebrate Halloween.

In what is quickly becoming one of my favorite parts of the search engine giant, Google has released yet another Google Doodle today on its homepage, this time celebrating the spooky season.

Instead of just a picture, this Doodle – like Star Trek and others before it – is clickable and interactive. For those not afraid of a little fright, click behind each of the five doors for a little trick or treat. Make sure you have your volume turned up to really get into the spirit.

Since this is now obviously recurring, what pop culture days in November would you like to see Google honor? I’m personally hoping for some history of Bond around Nov. 9.

Chord Overstreet hops onto Brad Pitt parody bandwagon, spoofs Chanel commercial -- VIDEO

Again with the famous people dressing as other famous people for Halloween! Avril Lavigne’s ex did it; Emma Roberts did it; and now we’ve learned that Chord Overstreet, a.k.a. Glee‘s Sam “Trouty Mouth” Evans, did it too. He hit a Halloween party this weekend dressed as Brad Pitt in those unintentionally hilarious Chanel No. 5 ads — and even made a video parody of the commercials for good measure.

Worth noting: Roberts and Overstreet used to date. Pitt and Aunt Julia also starred together in 2001′s The Mexican. We’re not sure how Avril Lavigne and Chad Kroeger fit in, but this must have something to do with the full moon.

Check out a full color photo of Overstreet’s over-the-top Brad getup at People, and watch a teaser for his black-and-white Pitt parody below. No wonder his Glee character prides himself on his impressions; he’s pretty good at imitating Pitt’s drawl.

Avril Lavigne's ex dresses up as her for Halloween, proves he's really, really, really over her

Apparently, Sum 41′s Deryck Whibley and his girlfriend Ari Cooper celebrated the holiday by dressing as Avril Lavigne — Whibley’s ex-wife — and her fiance, Nickelback’s Chad Kroeger. (That’s Whibley as Lavigne; Cooper as Kroeger.) Talk about storming through a party like your name was El Niño! READ FULL STORY »
