A few local celebs got into the Halloween spirit for the 2007 Dream Halloween to benefit Children Affected by Aids Foundation. Guests included daring and cute Jamie Lee Curtis, Queen of Hearts Teri Hatcher , trapeze artist Andrea Bowen, slutty victorian Rumer Willis, and a disappointingly costume-less Jason Priestley.

Teri had something in common with the infamous Paris Hilton, who showed up at the Playboy Halloween Party dressed like "Alice" in Wonderland Sluttyland. The previous night, she was a slutty nurse. At least she nailed the slutty Halloween costume tradition!

Greek Viking /Cisco Adler partied with friends at a club in New York City, while Adrian Grenier spandexed himself into a . . . jogger costume? Whatever he was supposed to be, he still looked cute as ever!

Kate Hudson had a Halloween party with guests that included Jake Gyllenhaal and Reese Witherspoon (dressed up in what looked like disguises rather than actual costumes), and of course her always hunky "sailor" stepdad Kurt Russell.

"KYLE XY" actor Matt Dallas went old-fashioned to celebrate his 25th Birthday at TAO in Vegas on Saturday and Neil Patrick Harris had the most Halloween "fun" - decked out in a creepy clown getup. You can bet I'll be looking for him in West Hollywood on Wednesday!

Following her fifteenth meltdown of the year at the VMAs, Britney Spears and Kevin Federline have been battling in court for custody of little Jayden and Sean Preston. K-Fed's lawyer, Britney's lawyer, and the lawyer for Brit's ex-bodyguard Tony Barretto (now a begrudging witness for K-Fed's camp) have all been in the media spotlight this week, using their clients for self-promotion. Everyone expected Britney to lose her kids going into the trial, given that she was dropped by another manager and lawyer amidst the allegations of "nudity, drug use and safety issues". But I think people were forgetting that Kevin isn't the picture of perfection either - far from it - and the court ruled that both parents will need to complete twice-weekly drug tests, remain sober around their kids, and attend parent counseling...together.

I keep getting this horrifying image of Britney and K-Fed sitting in a shrink's office together talking about their kids day after day until they bond over all that family stuff and fall back in love. For the sake of avoiding such a nightmare, I'd prefer to see them trashing each other publicly for the next ten years. Anyway, in preparation for the life-altering terms of their custody agreement to set in, Britney and Kevin have been busy squeezing in as much drug-induced partying and clubbing as possible. K-Fed might be banging Nicole Narain, while Britney has stooped to an all-time low and is rumored to be dating Nick. Freaking. Carter. Actually, I take back what I said earlier. Britney and Kevin should get back together. If Brit insists upon dating douchebags, she might as well date the one who is gonna help take care of her kids, right?

An even nastier custody battle is underway between Charlie Sheen & Denise Richards. Denise is asking for full custody of their two daughters due to Charlie's "inappropriate behavior" which includes "sexual explicitness on the Internet, "revealing his private parts", beating his dog, and yelling at his kids. Charlie has of course fired back that Denise "behaves as though she owns our children" and says "a day of legal reckoning for her is fast approaching." Oooooh, scary..."legal reckoning." Have to say, Denise's claims sound a little more credible. But for the sake of their kids, lets hope they're not!

Is there trouble in Posh's and Becks's L.A. paradise? The mistress from David's naughty 2004 affair - Rebecca Loos - is coming to L.A. to pursue acting. And Victoria is NOT happy about it. A friend of the couple tells Britain's Star Magazine, "Rebecca going to Los Angeles is Victoria's worst nightmare. One of the reasons the Beckham's moved there in the first place is because David felt like he owed Victoria after the whole Rebecca scandal." But according to the ex-mistress, Posh has more to worry about than just her: "there are plenty of gorgeous girls in Los Angeles. I don't know if David is going to be a good boy." Oh snap!

Introducing...Demi Kutcher! Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore have been happily married for 2 years but Demi just recently made the full switch, adopting Ashton's last name on her driving license and credit cards. Hopefully Demi has not embraced the full "wife" status as a result of giving up on her acting career, though. The plastic surgery guru recently told media: "It's been a challenging few years, being the age I am. Almost to the point where I felt like, well, they don't know what to do with me. I am not 20. Not 30." She does have a point, but, perhaps if she were to allow herself to age naturally she could get parts intended for a woman her actual age - and play a mother or adult rather than just the sexy and young women she has been playing throughout her career???

Zanessa may be no more. On the heels of Vanessa Hudgens' nude picture scandal and legal charges of unpaid fees hurled by her attorney, the young vixen was seen at a party amidst heavy flirting with an older guy. Days later, Zac Efron returned from a month of promoting Hairspray overseas and the two were spotted looking quite...serious upon his return. Now word is they've split. This wouldn't be surprising - new fame tends to cause such things...but the REAL question is: were they ever really together in the first place...or was their "relationship" yet another fame-seeking publicity romance? (think TomKat) Moreover - and I hate to judge him on the basis of his perfectly gelled hair and very very pretty facial features - but is Zac Efron gay??

Hayden Panettiere has moved on from ex-boyfriend Stephen Colletti with none other than her Heroes co-star Milo Ventimiglia. The two were spotted getting cozy at an Emmy's after-party before going home together. Meanwhile, Stephen might have moved on too! He and old flame/co-star Lauren Conrad have been spotted together again, arousing suspicion that they could be giving their Laguna Beach romance another try.

In other Hills news, Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt make me want to throw up. Truly. If I have to watch them act for the cameras, call each other sweetie, or delusionally question why Lauren doesn't like them anymore I think I will pull my hair out.

Meanwhile, Adrian Grenier and Paris Hilton are still pretending to be just friends, or, as Adrian called them, "mutual mentors." And I think we all know what he means when he says "mentor". Okay, okay, I'll admit it...I think they're kinda cute and that Adrian's words about "really liking her, genuinely" are totally sweet. Yuck, that's enough mush for one blog.

Jenny McCarthy was on the cover of People Magazine for a feature about her young autistic son and relationship with Jim Carrey. Although she's never been one to decline a little naked exploitation of her hotness, Jenny McCarthy has also shown herself to be a pretty solid lady with more going on upstairs than you would expect of a blonde bombshell who got her start on "Singled Out". She and Jim Carrey are still going strong and she talks to People about how inspiring Jim, aka. "the autism whisperer" has been for her son. It would not surprise me in the least if "inspiration" in the context of Jim Carrey looks more like "causing laughter"...and hey, why not, they say laughter is one of the best therapies around?

Finally, to close with the best and most important news ever - the Sex and the City movie has started filming! I can't tell you how overjoyed I am about this development. Too bad it is not going to be out until bloody MAY of 2008. Odd/interesting additions to the show include Charlotte's pregnancy and casting Jennifer Hudson to play Carrie Bradshaw's assistant. It will certainly be interesting to see if the movie manages to uphold the caliber and popularity of the t.v. series, won't it? I wonder what Carrie and Big will be like as a married couple. We've only ever seen Big as a single bachelor - seeing him be all relationshipy during season 6's finale was weird enough...but behaving like an actual HUSBAND?! Wow. This will be a site to see!

First things first: John Mayer and Cameron Diaz. Now this is a match-up that kind of make sense! In terms of fame level, age, classiness and shared social awareness, it works. But the two most important parts of the John+Cameron rumor are: Cameron is not Jessica Simpson, and John is not Justin Timberlake. This means that John Mayer may actually be pursuing a woman he considers an intellectual equal, rather than a puppet whose identity he can morph into his own. And it is an opportunity for Cameron to finally show Justin that she is over him - and reciprocate a dose of the jealousy that Justin has likely been rousing in her with his multiple rebounds immediately following their January split. After raising the red flag by dining together on August 14, Cameron and John have supposedly been seen "all over each other" around New York the last couple weeks and insiders have asserted that the rumors "are definitely true." Wonder how Miss Simpson is feeling right about now...

Next most interesting couple: Adrian Grenier and Paris Hilton. Now wtf is the deal there? The Entourage star and hotel heiress turned heads when they attended a special screening of Leo DiCaprio's environmental documentary "The 11^th Hour" in early August. Since then they have been seen surfing and frolicking in the ocean outside Paris's Malibu beach house and going out to the movies in a very "date-like" manner. Paris laughs off romance rumors, while Adrian has chalked up their uber-togetherness to be "research" for his supposed documentary about the relationship between celebrities and the media. Adrian tells E!Online he's "not ready to talk about" his documentary, but that Paris "has a light...that everyone focuses on." Wow, what an articulate guy!

No doubt Paris is a great place to start his research, but has Paris's "light" captivated Adrian in more ways than just as a business partner or research piece? Let's take a look at their body language - bodies turned inward in that V-like manner of intimacy, eyes locked, giddy smiles on their faces?! Yup, they are definitely digging each other. I'd almost call it cute - they are like two bashful teenagers falling into puppy love and self-conscious about all the eyes on them. Or is it just Paris's usual gaiety and Adrian's awe at all that paparazzi attention? Not even Adrian's buddy Kevin Connolly knows the truth at this point, but I'm putting my money on them screwing some time real soon.

If things don't work out between Paris and Adrian, Britney Spears would be the perfect research substitute. Ain't nobody got a "light" the paparazzi likes to follow like Britney. And as 50 cent recently pointed out, getting inside her life isn't always a challenge. Her latest leech is Mindfreak star Criss Angel, who quickly earned himself celebrity-wannabe status after dating Cameron Diaz and Lindsay Lohan within the same month. Although the angelic illusionist has been seen leaving Britney's home and hotel room as late as 4 in the morning since their initial mid-August dinner date, Criss has declared that there is no romance. "We're not together. Her manager is my manager, and I'm helping with her appearance on MTV," he tells People Magazine, adding "It's amazing how you can't do anything now without people making up stuff." Cry us a river, why dontcha Mr. Angel. People are already pretty much over the Criss+Britney rumors anyways, since a lot more shiznit has gone down since then...like Britney fleeing the country and being spotted throughout Europe...and today's release of some of her new (and very dark) music. What do YOU think of the new single?

In other news, Jake Gyllenhaal and Reese Witherspoon are definitely back on. Both actors were spotted in Martha's Vineyard with their families and have more recently been rendezvousing on dinner dates and sleepovers around Los Angeles. Glad to hear Reese is keeping her distance from ex-husband Ryan Phillippe, who has been busy sparking romance rumors of his own with Abbie Cornish, the co-star who he supposedly had an affair with back in his married days. I will say one thing for Ryan - he seems to be a pretty responsible dad - but other than that, he really is kind of a douchebag!

Men all over America can be devastated by the news that Jessica Alba has reunited with her recent ex, Cash Warren. Or perhaps they never even broke up. Either way, they shared a nauseatingly romantic walk on the beach in L.A.'s Pacific Palisades near yesterday. Sorry boys!

Jessica Biel and JT are still getting steamy all over the world during Justin's summer concert tour. The twosome have been spotted jogging in Copenhagen, dining in Sweden, and clubbing back in Hollywood. This month there have been reports that Justin is getting so serious about Jessica that he asked her to move in with him and gave her a "promise ring." Then again, there have also been reports that Justin is very not serious and that his womanizing ways haven't changed a bit. Neither report is convincing. While Justin does tend to be the relationship type, he is still rebounding from his 4-year relationship with Cameron and has only been dating Jessica since February. Not to mention that he is on top of the world right now - with the notoriety and success he's enjoying, he could probably have any woman he wants. No wonder people have been calling him "arrogant" and "conceited" lately...

Zac Efron confused people by kissing Hairspray co-star Nikki Blonsky during a live cast interview in July, which then started rumors that he had dumped girlfriend Vanessa Hudgens for the more voluptuous co-star. This is of course not the case, as the kiss was only in jest. Kinda cute that Zac and Nikki can play around like that...hopefully Vanessa is as cool with it as they are!

That's all for the Hollywood romance rumors. There are of course a crapload of other break-ups and make-ups happening in Hollywood, but who really wants to hear about Shanna Moakler and Travis Barker?

Stay Tuned, kids!
