Stuck without a Halloween costume to wear tonight? Don't panic — we have seven fool-proof ideas to impress your friends and guarantee you extra candy (or at least a few concerned looks), all inspired by some of our favorite celebrities. They're not exactly scary in the traditional sense, but these costumes are frightening nonetheless. Don't say we never do anything for you.
When you're done, feel free to guess what Whitney will be dressing up as for Halloween (Cord accidentally revealed his costume already). Winner gets a free Internet hug and pride.
Danity Kane, the mildly talented girl group that was doomed from the start thanks to creator Diddy, is officially in shambles. Upon losing two members, the always classy Aubrey O'Day and sidekick D.Woods, a third girl has decided to call it quits: Shannon Bex, also commonly referred to as the other blond. This leaves only two girls (Aundrea and Dawn, pictured on the far left and right, respectively), who obviously cannot carry the group on their own. Shannon, arguably the nicest member of the bunch, was reportedly "tired of the drama, cat fights and Diddy." We can't argue with that, but we will begrudgingly admit that this makes us terribly sad. Don't judge us.
After the jump: The girls' first performance together upon learning that they won the reality competition and had a spot in the group. Diddy, who can be spotted obnoxiously dancing off to the side, managed to take a fairly good thing and completely destroy it. Nice work, Diddles. CONTINUED »
There's a new obnoxious celebrity duo on the loose: Anonymous sources (who are always reliable) spilled the beans that Kanye West and Aubrey O'Day were making out recently at NYC's 1Oak. "Either they actually kissed, or Aubrey was just telling people they kissed." Here's hoping it's the latter, and Kanye offers up an amazing caps-locked blog post about how he was too busy icing his knees at the airport to be making out with the former Danity Kane nightmare.

For all five of you who stopped watching Sarah Palin destroy our country long enough to catch the season finale of Making the Band, let's discuss. Diddy kicked out both Aubrey O'Day and D. Woods, leaving only three sad members (Aundrea, Dawn and Shannon) who looked like someone shot their puppy.
Your reality TV-loving associate editor, Whitney, attended the live taping and got some inside scoop on exactly what went down in Diddy Land (unfortunately, Puff Diddles was too busy cavorting in his Miami hotel room to join the rest of his minions at the MTV studios). Spoiler alert: There was more bitchassness than should be allowed. CONTINUED »
Can someone please take the camera away from Diddy? The obnoxious mouth-breather took to the Internets again last night in hopes of encouraging all the "boys and girls" to vote for Barack Obama after John McCain referred to him as "that one" during the latest debate. Does Diddy have a right to be angry about this? Sure. But the way he refers to his viewers as "boys and girls" reminds us of John McCain's usage of "my friends": Both send us into fits of blind rage.
And, once again, we'd like to point out that Diddy's endorsement of Obama is much like Aubrey O'Day's or Lindsay Lohan's: It's not needed. In fact, it's probably doing more harm than good.
While Danity Kane's Aubrey O'Day was parading her sad dog last at the Bowlmor event ("I Bark 4 Obama"? Seriously?), the pre-season finale of Making the Band 4 was airing — and it wasn't pretty. Evidently Diddy got his diddles in a wad and decided to kick Aubrey out of Danity Kane. The entire exchange was confusing, because once Diddy said, "Somebody's gonna tell the troof up in this bitch," we tuned out. We just can't take him seriously when he breaths through his mouth and spouts of nonsense.
Here's what we gathered: The girls don't get along — mainly because Aubrey is a psycho famewhore and Dawn is getting solo projects with Diddy — so the group is about to undergo major changes. Who knows if Aubrey leaves for good, but it's not like she doesn't have thousands of red carpets to infest if she gets dropped. Let's just hope she doesn't take it out on the dog any more than she already has.

So Whitney, your fearless associate editor, and Michael Phelps, America's latest obsession, gathered in the same room last night and nobody died. That, in itself, is a victory. Nobody got engaged either, which is a slight failure, but the entire evening was one of the best nights of my life, so I'm not sad. Well, maybe a little. CONTINUED »

Vitaminwater got in on the MLB All-Star Week parties last night and felt the best way to promote the brand was by inviting the classiest of celebrities, which included Aubrey O'Day and the Naked Cowboy. The event also attracted some leftover guests from the Batman premiere who just wanted to be photographed. If that's not getting more people to drink the beverage, we don't know what will.

I'm feeling honest today, so I'm about to do something therapeutic: I'm coming clean about some things I'm ashamed to admit that I enjoy. As part of my job, I have to be judgmental and critical — but sometimes I just want to confess my undying love for the celebrities and shows the public majority views as repulsive. So here's my list of six things I'm embarrassed to reveal. Admitting my problem is the first step to recovery.
