So this year was hit and miss for a lot of celebrity’s costumes. I tried to get some of the best costumes and then I couldn’t help but also show you some of the worst. Yes, many girls dress up in some very slutty costumes but then there’s some that are out of control. Way to down the whole women as equals and not objects idea ladies!
The best of 2009
Ellen Degeneres is about to be the first person to appear on the O magazine cover besides Oprah Winfrey. The two will shoot the cover in two weeks! Can’t wait to see what the real cover looks like instead of all the spoof covers Ellen has shown on her show! My favorite part of this costume is the story headline on the cover “New! Dr. Phil Centerfold”. Yeah that’s a sight I’m sure. I bet it would be something similar to George Costanza picture on Seinfeld!

Gwen Stefani made a very cute Jesse the cowgirl from Toy Story 2. Her kids Kingston and Zuma were dressed up as dinosaurs when they went out trick or treating. Man, I don’t know if it gets any cuter than little kids dressed up for Halloween!

Kingston and Zuma

Michelle Obama and Barack Obama handed out candy at the White House this year. They also threw a Halloween party for the military troops as well. Do you think Michelle dressed as a cat cheetah thing for the trick or treaters and then when it was time for the party President Obama dressed as John McCain and Michelle was Sarah Palin?! Probably not but that would be kind of funny.

The Kardashian Girls dressed up this year too (of course). Kim Kardashian made a very cute Disney’s Snow White and Kourtney was a pregnant school girl. Way to send the right message to your young fans Kourtney. ;-)

Following the theme of the Kardashian sisters, we have Tyra Banks! She does look a lot like Kim Kardashian I think! She even has the face that Kim makes when posing for the cameras! But I’m kind of wondering, do you think that’s what Tyra was already planning to wear for her show that day and was like oh crap it’s Halloween! Quick get some Kardashian sisters card board cut outs and I’ll just rock it! Just kidding Tyra, I love you!

Now as much as I really, really, really do not like Spencer and Heidi Pratt, they did have some funny costumes. There was a lot of Jon and Kate Plus 8 costumes this year but I think they might take the cake on this one. What sealed the deal on them being the best Jon and Kate, for me, was the baby dolls. I also like the Team Kate t-shirt on Heidi. As much as I hate to admit it, it was pretty funny.

Following suit with one of the most popular costumes this year, Regis Philbin and Kelly Ripa were also Jon and Kate Plus 8. Kelly did a much better job with the hair than Heidi Pratt I must say.

Now I am a big fan of Family Guy but this costume is a little creepy but hey, that’s part of Halloween, being creepy right? Okay so maybe it’s not creepy in the creepy crawly, Halloween ghosts and ghouls way but it is none the less creepy. I do have to hand it to Kelly Clarkson for not going the slutty route and going the funny (or at least trying to be funny) route.

Back on again Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo, were Frankenstein’s monster and the Bride of Frankenstein. Pretty creative. Better than going the slutty nurse and doctor route!

Can you recognize the next celebrity? I couldn’t if it wasn’t for the caption on where I found this picture. It’s Project Runway Alum Christian Siriano! Pretty funny stuff! It totally looks like his designs too. But if you’re a designer then you should be making your own costumes! I wonder how long it took to sew on all of those sequins and scales?

And now for what I think are the best two (well it’s actually best ten but it’s two pictures, you get the idea) costumes for Halloween 2009!
The first award(s) goes to the Today Show cast who are the characters from Star Wars! Ann Curry is Darth Vadar (hard to tell with the helmet/mask on), Al Roker is Han Solo, Matt Lauer is Luke Skywalker, Meredith Vieira is dressed as Princess Leia (what no golden bikini Meredith?), Hoda Kotb is Yoda (Hoda is Yoda, it makes perfect sense!), Kathie Lee is CP30 (it makes perfect sense because they both are a little annoying, but no disrespect to CP30, I sill love him), and last but not least, Natalie Morales is Queen Amidala. I always love the Today Show costumes and I’ve never seen the entire crew come together for one costume theme! Everyone looks so good and all of the costumes are so elaborate! The costumes, from what I can tell, look like they are straight out of the movie. At the risk of sounding like a complete and total nerd, I like that they have Princess Leia and Queen Amidala instead of just Princess Leia. But they should of had Jabba the Hut somewhere in there! But then that would make it harder for Meredith to argue against wearing the gold bikini.

And the other award for some of the coolest costumes goes to, of course, as usual, Seal and Heidi Klum!!! This year they dressed up as crows for Heidi Klum’s Annual Halloween Party. Now it’s not necessarily the costume idea that get the award (although I like that they went with something that’s not usually done) but it’s how awesome the costume itself is! They could almost be real crows! There’s all of the ornate feather detail, panting their faces to keep a cohesive look, and Heidi even has real wings! Oh and P.S. check out how fabulous Heidi’s boot are, love love love them! I like that they always do their costumes together. It also would have been cute if Seal was a scarecrow! I just love how Heidi always goes for the cool, elaborate, funny costume and never tries to be sexy and slutty for Halloween. She’s awesome.

These costumes are so ornate and have so much detail that I thought they deserved to have two pictures in today’s post. This way you can get a close up of the cool head pieces! Heidi’s eye lashes are pretty fricken sweet as well!

Now it wouldn’t be fair to leave out some of the bad, the ugly, and the slutty costumes. There were a lot of mediocre costumes and then there were quite a few horrible costumes. I have to post these as well so that way the good costumes get more respect!
The Bad:
Now Kelly Osbourne and her fiance, Luke Worrall aren’t the worst of the worst but they’re still pretty bad. It’s cute that they go together but they might as well have been peas and carrots, at least that would have been a little more creative and made for a nice shout out to Forrest Gump! I do kind of think these two look more like brother and sister than Kelly and Jack Osbourne do! Sorry I just had to throw that out there; I couldn’t help myself.

So I’m not sure what Paris Hilton is here. Maybe a tooth fairy, princess, angel, circus ring master all rolled into one? Or maybe she’s one of those indian elephants that have to wear the same crazy head dress that she’s wearing? Realistically I think she was going for the tooth fairy to match her captain of the tool squad boyfriend, Doug Reinhardt. Talk about being totally emasculated. Here honey, wear this tutu and headband with a puff on top to match me. What scares me even more is that there is a good chance he elected to wear this costume on his own! Yikes! I’ll never let my niece and nephew put a tooth under their pillows ever again!

Oh Nadia Sulaiman. There are no words. Nothing says I love my babies like dressing them up as little devils. Also I’m pretty sure that she is nothing if not the furthest thing from a nun. So is the message of the costume is that she’s a holy woman trying to do the right thing but keeps giving birth to little devil babies? That’s not quite how I would describe the Octomom but hey, we all have different interpretations of ourselves. I just can’t help but think it’s sad to see sweet little babies dressed like devils! P.S. the babies that aren’t sleeping all look scared – not a good thing!

The Ugly:
Now I usually give Lady Gaga props for doing her own thing and dressing however she wants to, and I use the term usually very loosely
. But this year, I can’t even tell what she is. Maybe she was just out for a walk and forgot it was Halloween?

And now the one you’ve all been waiting for, I give you
The Slutty:
Selita Ebanks is a Victoria Secret model. Technically, she’s wearing more here than she does for her day job but some how, this situation is a little different. I’m thinking she’s a devil but it’s kind of hard to pay attention to her costume when you think that the twins are about to pop out any second – even if it is a still photo, it could happen! Just kidding. The bodice is actually pretty cool and decorated beautifully. I’d wear it if it had about another yard of fabric on it! Her paint around her hair line and into her hair is also pretty cool, it gives the costume an extra edge. However, if she is a devil, why the whip and not a pitch fork? Maybe she’s going for dominatricks devil.

The next chick is Katie Price aka Jordan. Why she switches from being called one name or the other, I’m not sure. She was a model and TV personality over in London. Oh yeah, she’s also a writer, singer, spokesperson, actress (there’s a difference from TV personality and actress just barely), frequent patient for plastic surgery, hussy, and unfortunately a mother. She’s pretty well known in the UK and the tabloids love to report about her life and her on again off again boyfriend, husband at one point, Peter Andre (another UK D-list celeb). Any who, she’s trying to break out over here in the States and I think she’s off to a great start at being taken seriously! I mean who doesn’t respect a woman in a bustier, thong, and high heels right?
(Katie/Jordan is seen here with current cage-fighter boyfriend, Alex Reid. Apparently he was trying to dispel some rumors that he is a cross-dress. Wow, way to go Alex! Good job proving you’re not a cross-dresser! You showed them!)

Now for me, this couple’s costume takes the cake. Law and Order: SVU’s star Ice – T and wife Coco are seen here attending at the M2 Ultra Lounge. Nothing says we’re in love like a dominatricks she-devil thing and leather wearing, ball gag gagging, disturbing costume thing. I’m glad that Ice T is proud to show off his wife, Cocoa’s umm, for lack of a better word, assets? But this is beyond ridiculous! I didn’t have much respect for them before but if there was a shred left, it’s gone now.
