Happy Halloween!
COULD BE TRUE, COULD BE CRAP - SECOND KIM KARDASHIAN SEX TAPE BEING SHOPPED: As we all know, KIM KARDASHIAN became famous thanks to a sex tape she made with singer Ray J. Well, the not-always-reliable British tabloid the Daily Star says a second Kim K/Ray J sex tape is being shopped around for more than $30 million.
And this one is supposedly better! And what do they mane by better? "It's even raunchier than her last one," the tab quotes their source as saying. "There are all kinds of eye-popping moments."
Not only did her first sex tape make Kim a star, she also reportedly made millions in profits. But now that she's a household name for reasons other than being in the best selling celebrity porno of all-time, the Daily Star says she's not happy with news of another supposed tape making the rounds, and is seeking to block it's sale. She's also said to be worried that the tape could jeopardize her relationship with KANYE WEST.
CELEBRITIES IN TROUBLE - CEE LO GREEN ACCUSED OF SEXUAL BATTERY: L.A. PD is said to be looking into sexual battery allegations being levied against "The Voice" coach CEE LO GREEN.
TMZ is reporting that an unnamed woman filed a police report accusing Cee Lo of getting physical with her. Detectives have visited the restaurant where the sexual battery supposedly happened asking questions of several employees there, but no formal charges have been filed.
In his defense, Cee Lo told TMZ that he “categorically denies any wrongdoing.” A friend adds, quote, “I have never seen Cee Lo act in a physical way toward anybody.” LAPD is not commenting.

Jealous of NICOLE KIDMAN much, ladies? She gets to hit this any time she wants to!
WATCH: Even though you can't really understand a single word she's saying, the best Hurricane Sandy news cleavage .. er, I mean COVERAGE, comes courtesy of reality TV star COCO.
SPLITSVILLE - POPULATION STEVEN TYLER: Has STEVEN TYLER dumped his 38-year-old fiancée? The New York Post says yes. Tyler’s rep is going na-uh.
A Post insider revealed to the rag that Tyler has, quote, “quietly ended it with [Erin Brady],” whom the 64-year-old Aerosmith singer proposed to a year ago in Hawaii. But he’s reportedly gotten cold feet now.
A friend who claims to be close to the band says Tyler is trying to stay sober and his 38-year-old fiancé is not helpful. “She’s been kind of a Yoko Ono character,” the Post quotes him as saying.
The bands publicist, however, says it ain’t so. “They are engaged to be married and each is committed to their sobriety. Any claim to the contrary is absolutely false and misleading.”
'DANCING WITH THE STARS' SHOCKING ELIMINATION : Last night "Dancing With the Stars" had easily the most shocking elimination of the season. SABRINA BRYAN was sent home despite scoring a perfect 30 from the judges the night before.
The other dancer in the bottom two -- APOLO OHNO -- also scored a perfect 30 on Monday.

MADONNA CHOOSES WORDS CAREFULLY WHEN ASKED TO DESCRIBE LADY GAGA, BUT CALLS ELTON JOHN A 'NICE A**': MADONNA much-hyped guest appearance on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" aired yesterday, and in one of the better segments, Ellen asked her to give her responses to the people Ellen was going to name.
The list included BRITNEY SPEARS, PINK, RIHANNA, JLO, NICKI MINAJ ... and arch enemies LADY GAGA and ELTON JOHN! And while it didn't take long for Madge to opine about most of them, she paused for quite a while before describing GaGa. "Good voice," she finally said.
And Elton? "Nice a**," Madonna deadpanned, echoing her previous response to J.Lo and Minaj.
KATIE HOLMES AWKWARD HALLOWEEN COSTUME MOMENT: KATIE HOLMES had an awkward run-in with a few Halloween partiers while dining at some trendy NYC resaturant over the weekend.
The New York Post reports Holmes and daughter Suri were seated next to a group that included a guy dressed to look like TOM CRUISE. Oh, it gets better. Two of the women with the guy wore shirts that said “Save Suri” and “Free Katie."
A eye-witness tells the Post, quote, “When [Katie and Suri] sat down, [the other group] exchanged an awkward glance with Katie, but she kept her cool and didn’t say anything. The embarrassed Halloween crew quickly covered up the costumes before Suri got a chance to take a look.”
Speaking of Cruise ... Tom isn't going to press charges against the guy who was tased and arrested over the weekend after trespassing on his property. (PHOTO)
It turns out it was one of Tom's neighbors who apparently had too much to drink Sunday night and mistook Tom's house for his. Although the interloper was arrested and cited for misdemeanor trespassing before he was released, Tom's lawyer told TMZ Cruise has no plans to press charges. Quote, "Tom's not a vindictive guy. The guy was drunk. He didn't have a malicious intent."
LINDSAY LOHAN SHOWS US HER (STUPID) HURRICANE SANDY TWEET: Many celebrities are taking to the Twitter-verse to share their thoughts and concerns over Hurricane Sandy. But leave it to LINDSAY LOHAN to underplay a tragedy. Here's what she Tweeted: "WHY is everyone in SUCH a panic about hurricane (i'm calling it Sally). Stop projecting negativity! Think positive and pray for peace."
What? Not even KIM KARDASHIAN'S Tweet was that vacuous. At least she had the good sense to stick with the tried-and-true "I'm praying for everyone"
AVRIL LAVIGNE'S NEW MAN AND EX HUSBAND IN TWITTER SKIRMISH: A Canadian rockers civil war broke out this weekend on Twitter between Nickelback lead singer CHAD KROEGER and his fiancé AVRIL LAVIGNE'S ex-husband, Deryck Whibley.
Whibley started the whole thing when he posted a photograph of he and his girlfriend dressed up as Lavigne and Kroeger for a Halloween party -- Whibley was dressed as his Avril, by the way.
Kroeger returned fire with the following tweet: “Hey Deryck loved the costumes! We were going to dress up as you guys this years but all the parties had celebrity themes haha!” Sas! Advantage, Kroeger!
CELEBRITIES IN THEIR HALLOWEEN COSTUMES: The Hollywood elite were out in full force over the weekend in their Halloween costumes. KENDRA WILKINSON hit up the Playboy Mansion in a painted-on referee shirt ...
CHRISTINA AGUILERA as, um, something candy-coated and slutty, KIM KARDASHIAN and KANYE WEST as a -- surprisingly -- non slutty mermaid and sailor, JENNY MCCARTHY as a strawberry, FERGIE dressed up in a skintight leopard costume, and "Glee" star MATTHEW MORRISON with his girlfriend as old-school Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears.
The list included BRITNEY SPEARS, PINK, RIHANNA, JLO, NICKI MINAJ ... and arch enemies LADY GAGA and ELTON JOHN! And while it didn't take long for Madge to opine about most of them, she paused for quite a while before describing GaGa. "Good voice," she finally said.

Lip Service. Hand Painted Flatware With Hollywood Orifices by Andrea Mary Marshall.
The “Lip Service” dinner series by artist Andrea Mary Marshall consists of both “The Original Supper,” a set of hand painted spoons, and “The Marilyn Knives,” individual hand painted knives and both are available for purchase.
The Original Supper
“The Original Supper” is a thirteen piece set of double-sided, hand painted silverware inspired by 15th century Apostle Spoons, which included a decorative spoon for Jesus Christ and each of the twelve apostles seated at ‘The Last Supper.’
above: The thirteen Hollywood icons featured in “The Original Supper” are (from left to right): Shirley Temple, Dolly Parton, Joan Crawford, Mae West, Marilyn Monroe, Anna Nicole Smith, Madonna, Kim Kardashian, Elizabeth Taylor, Tina Turner, Diana Ross, Cher and Britney Spears.
Replacing Jesus and his apostles are thirteen female Hollywood icons objectified by only their red lips and labia. Madonna is featured as Jesus Christ or the ‘Savior Spoon’ and Marilyn Monroe is represented by a knife, symbolizing Judas and ‘the kiss of death.’ This double-sided set serves up sex as ‘the original meal ticket’ and comments on the consumption and exploitation of sexuality in popular culture.

Brut for Bond. Bollinger Limited Edition Champagne 002 for 007.
To celebrate the 50th anniversary of 007’s appearance on screen in Skyfall and the Bollinger / James Bond partnership, Champagne Bollinger has launched a limited edition special presentation box of one of their great vintages from the last century, Bollinger La Grande Année 2002.
Champagne Bollinger has been Bond’s champagne of choice since its first appearance on screen in ‘Live and Let Die’ in 1973, when the Brocolli-Wilson family decided that Bollinger best represented Bond’s impeccable taste.
The presentation box, in the shape of a Walther PPK silencer, opens by aligning the three numbers 007 and by clicking on the gun logo button, revealing a bottle of Bollinger La Grande Année 2002, the most exceptional vintage in the last decade, according to Mathieu Kauffmann, Cellar Master at Champagne Bollinger.
The bottle, adorned in shiny black and hot stamped silver, is a collector’s item in itself, an elegant celebration of the 50th anniversary of James Bond on screen. The guilloche pattern on the label and the cap is repeated on the box, a veiled reference to the grip of the pistol. 30,000 bottles of Bollinger’s 002 for 007 have been produced.
Harrods of London was decked out in tribute to 007 for the whole of October. Bollinger aficionados attended a preview launch of the 002 for 007 presentation box.
From escalators to store windows via tasting areas, Bond’s favourite champagne enjoys pride of place in the legendary department store. On display are bottles of Mr Bond’s favourite cuvées –including the mythical Bollinger R.D. and an outsized version of the box dedicated to the latest Bond movie.
The Bollinger 002 for 007 presentation box is now for sale at Harrods.com (£150) and TheWhiskyExchange (£125), Sherry-Lehman ($199), at Zachy's ($195) and in specialist shops and wine merchants all over the globe. TheWhiskyExchange can ship to most countries in the world (price is excluding shipping costs).

WE REPORT, YOU DECIDE - IS MILA KUNIS EXPECTING, OR DID SHE JUST HAVE A BIG LUNCH?: MILA KUNIS is either pregnant or went to town on a big plate of pasta.
The size of her mid-section became the subject of discussion over the weekend when some photos of Mila and ASHTON KUTCHER out walking around hit the Internet yesterday showing Mila looking like she's got a baby bump of sorts. (PHOTO), (PHOTO)
I'm a bit more skeptical, though, because eight days earlier she was photographed with a completely flat stomach and I'm pretty sure such a significant baby bump can't appear in just eight days. (PHOTO)
Personally, I think she should've known better than to wear a horizontally-striped shirt after eating a big lunch.
JESSICA SIMPSON'S DAD DEBUTS NEW BLONDE 'DO: JESSICA SIMPSON'S dad, JOE, has denied talk that he’s gay, but I gotta tell you, that new haircut he's rockin' is not doing anything to dissuade those rumors.
And neither is the tight yellow sweater and black skinny jeans he was photographed walking around in in L.A. over the weekend. (PHOTO)
Meanwhile ... Radar Online claims to have uncovered a 21-year-old aspiring model who told friends he was Joe’s lover. The site claims Bryce Chandler Hill has been dating Joe on and off for a year. (PHOTO)
“Joe Simpson being outed by the National Enquirer was no surprise to the gay community in Hollywood, Bryce has been bragging about hooking up with Joe for a while now,” a source revealed.
Unfortunately for Joe, Bryce seems to be using him to get famous because the insiders say Bryce “mocks and laughs at Joe behind his back. He doesn’t care for him the same way Joe does about him.”
SNAPSHOT - JENNIFER ANISTON'S CLEAVAGE: JENNIFER ANISTON hit up some kind of Hollywood gala on Saturday, and used the occasion to show off two major assets: her ample cleavage and her massive engagement ring. Let's start with Jen's decolletage. Observe!
Now as for the official debut of Aniston's engagement ring, as coincidences go, this one's classic: the bash was held at the same Museum of Art where ANGELINA JOLIE debuted her engagement ring from BRAD PITT in April.
J.LO AND CASPER CELEBRATE A YEAR TOGETHER - SHOW US THEIR NAUSEATING TWEETS: JENNIFER LOPEZ and Casper Smart celebrated their one-year dating anniversary last week, and decided to share their love on Twitter.
"BEAUcasperSMART BEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Today is OUR's!! Thank you for sharing your beautiful smile with me everyday!" Lopez Tweeted.
Smart responded with, “Happy 1 yr. anniversary to the most Gorgeous, Kind, Sweet, Funny, Beautiful Lil Bear in the world.... Love Bear October25"
BABY POOP - RIHANNA SENDS ADELE LINGERIE: Apparently, RIHANNA loves cheesy gifts. She just sent ADELE two outfits for her baby boy. One says "My mom is a rock star," and the other says "Just done nine months inside."
Rihanna also gave Adele some lingerie for herself, with a note that said, quote, "You gotta stay sexy, yummy mommy. Enjoy yourself. Congrats!!!"
PROWLER ARRESTED TRYING TO GET INTO HOME OF TOM CRUISE: Late last night, Beverly Hills police arrested a prowler on the estate belonging to TOM CRUISE.
They got help from the on-duty security guard, who used a taser to subdue the suspect. The man was reportedly caught in the act of trying to jump the fence that surrounds the compound. Authorities say Cruise was not at home and was never in danger.
Speaking or Mr. Cruise ... A self-proclaimed "whistle blower" is suing him for millions, claiming that Cruise was set to impregnate Octo-Mom Nadya Suleman after abandoning his own daughter Suri -- who this guy now wants custody of.
According to Radar Online, the man, who calls himself Slim Shady Holmes, insists in the lawsuit that Cruise attacked him with a samurai sword, in part because of his claim that he watched Tom dance in his underwear with JOHN TRAVOLTA. Okay.
MADONNA BOOED FOR SUPPORTING PRESIDENT OBAMA: MADONNA got booed at one of her concerts Saturday night for endorsing President Barack Obama.
At her show in New Orleans on Saturday, Madonna first asked the audience if they were registered to vote in the November 6 election and then said, “I don’t care who you vote for as long as you vote for Obama.”
That didn't go over well with the those leaning Republican, who responded with a cascade of boos. Some of them even walk out! Madge immediately tried to make her remarks decidedly less partisan, saying, “Seriously, I don’t care who you vote for… Do not take this privilege for granted. Go vote.”
