"It's Showtime!" Bella Hadid and The Weeknd Totally Nailed Their Beetlejuice Costumes
The Hadids just can't get enough of Beetlejuice! One month after the famous family recreated the 1988 flick's iconic dinner party scene in a video for Vogue, Bella Hadid used the movie to inspire her and The Weeknd's spooky Halloween costumes. The 22-year-old model and her beau attended Heidi Klum's annual Halloween shindig in New York City together dressed as Lydia Deetz and Beetlejuice, and when I say they nailed it, I really mean it.
Bella flawlessly channeled Lydia by wearing a red tulle-lined dress and matching veil with a choker and latex stockings from Vex Clothing. She finished her getup with black combat boots, a tiny red bag, a wig with bangs, and a small bouquet of roses, which she carried while posing for photos. Meanwhile, The Weeknd really went the extra mile while mimicking Beetlejuice, wearing a dirtied purple suit, tattered wig, and boatload of face makeup that made him nearly unrecognizable.
Keep reading to admire Bella and The Weeknd's spot-on couple costumes in all their ghostly glory, and then be sure to scope out what your other favorite models wore for the wicked holiday. "It's showtime!"

Pete Davidson's New Hair Color Might Be His Most Dramatic Look Yet
Pete Davidson is changing up his look following his split from Ariana Grande. After the Saturday Night Live actor spoofed his breakup during a recent sketch, he headed to the salon to dye his hair. Perhaps this is his equivalent of the "breakup haircut." Stylist Aura Friedman at NYC's Sally Hershberger Salon gave a glimpse of the comedian's new sky-blue hair, and we're kinda digging it.
This isn't the first time Davidson has experimented with his look. Shortly after he started dating Grande in May, the actor dyed his dark brown hair platinum blond. If we know anything about Davidson, we have a feeling there will be a few jokes about his hair during SNL this weekend. Get a glimpse of his new hair color above.
Gwyneth Paltrow Was Glowing on Her Wedding Day - These Are the Products She Used
Gwyneth Paltrow married Brad Falchuk in a beautiful ceremony on Sept. 29, and she's finally sharing details about the private occasion. Paltrow shared photos of the big day for the first time on Goop, revealing a stunning Valentino dress and a cute, dancing-friendly white romper for the reception. Paltrow was glowing, thanks likely in part to her newlywed bliss, but also because of a few key products chosen by her makeup artist. Gucci Westman, a makeup artist and a friend of Paltrow's, did the star's makeup for her Fall wedding, and we got the scoop on exactly what she used.
The makeup artist turned to her own line, Westman Atelier, to achieve a "natural yet radiant look." It was all about subtle definition thanks to a soft contour stick, a tinted highlighter, and a rosy pink cream blush. Paltrow sat in the hair-and-makeup chair next to Cameron Diaz, who attended the wedding along with other A-listers in Paltrow's circle. You can shop all of the products online at Barney's, so take a closer look ahead, and then see more gorgeous photos of the wedding day on Goop.

Today, the brand unveiled its Christmas collection - an array of over 300 new products, including home goods (like delicious-smelling three-wick candles, room fresheners, and hand soaps) and body care.

Spectrum's Snow White collection officially launched this week, and it includes two makeup bags - one embroidered with the face of the Disney princess and the other featuring that of the Evil Queen - a handheld "magic" mirror, 12-piece bad apple brush set, and a bad apple acrylic storage case, among other items (which you can read through ahead).

Julia Roberts Dyed Her Hair "Flamingo" Pink, and We're Flocking to the Salon
Is there anything Julia Roberts can't do? She is an onscreen sensation, has an impeccable sense of style, and claps back at trolls hating on her makeup look, and now she's added hair color chameleon to the list.
Roberts stopped by Jimmy Kimmel Live on Thursday, and the conversation quickly turned to Halloween and her pink hair, apparently a remnant of her flamingo costume, which she admitted might last "four to six weeks." Roberts continued, "I had a lot more [color] last night, but I thought there would be a lot less right now."
If you ask us, it's one of our favorite hues she's done yet, although we can't be sure her colorist would say the same if they were called in to help remove the blush stains. Either way, we can be certain of one thing: Julia Roberts is the prettiest flamingo we've ever seen.
I Wore Fake Bangs All Day, and This Is What Happened
The last time I had bangs, I was 5 years old, and it was frankly not my decision. As long as I've been able to, I've avoided getting the somewhat high-maintenance hairstyle, but lately, I'd started to wonder: how would I look if I did take the plunge?
Luckily, I discovered that hair-extension brand Hairdo creates human-hair clip-in bangs so I could see exactly what I would look like with the fringe. I had them send me a pair so I could test them out in the office and see what my coworkers thought. When I walked into work, I immediately grabbed the bangs and a pair of scissors to do what every hairstylist has always advised me against: trim them myself. The instructional video online told me to do it, so I decided it would be OK.
After some decidedly blunt chops, the bangs looked more or less the correct length, and I secured them to my head by placing the clips at the midpoint on the top of my head and secured them by snapping them into place with my natural hair. I tousled it a little bit with my hands, trying to get my natural strands to blend with the short fake pieces on either side of my head. I kind of felt like I had a small animal living on top of my head, but I began my day.
In the hours that followed, an increasing number of my coworkers did double takes as we said hello in the kitchen. A few people even told me they loved how it looked, completely unaware they were fake. A majority of my coworkers, however, kind of stared at me confused, trying to discern if I really had chopped my hair. At the end of the day, we had a team-wide editorial meeting where I was outed for my fake fringe. A room of 25 people all wanted to know how it looked so real and were impressed by how closely it matched my natural color.
When I was finally able to take off the bangs at the end of the day, I was relieved. I'm not used to having hair constantly touch my forehead, and the clips were starting to give me a headache. Although I like switching up my look, and many people have since encouraged me to cut bangs on my real head of hair, I've decided I might just stick to the fake ones for now. While I don't think they're completely convincing, I definitely fooled a few friends. Check out the before and after ahead.
I Did Jonathan Van Ness's Beauty Routine For a Week and Got a Lesson in Self-Care
After a roaring (and voluminous) success in letting Queer Eye's Jonathan Van Ness dictate my hair routine for a week, I thought, "Why not let him guide me through an entire beauty routine?" I didn't have to look far on the internet for Van Ness's favorite beauty products since he is everywhere, and the internet can't get enough of him - myself included.
For a week, I lived by the beauty mantra, "What would Jonathan Van Ness do?," and it gave me so much more than a banging beauty routine (and an excuse to listen to Ariana Grande on repeat, because he would): it taught me a lesson about self-care. Before delving into that, though, let's get into the products and tools I used.
I kept my hair routine the same as my previous experiment using the Shu Uemura Cleansing Oil Shampoo, conditioning with Ouai Repair Conditioner, treating with Ouai Hair Oil, and finishing with Bumble and Bumble Prep It. The sulfate-free life is serving my hair well, and it's never looked better.
For my skin, I used a mix of Van Ness's favorites and my favorite hydrating products, as well as tools that I'd typically use for an at-home spa session.
Here's what was in my arsenal (which you can shop ahead): Kate Somerville ExfoliKate Intensive Exfoliating Treatment, Kate Somerville EradiKate Daily Cleanser, Fresh Vitamin Nectar Antioxidant Glow Water, Tropic Skin Feast Nourishing Cream Concentrate, Algenist Reveal Concentrated Color Correcting Drops, Green, Algenist Complete Eye Renewal Balm, Herbivore Rose Quarts Illuminating Body Oil, Beauty Bio Glo PRO Microneedling Regeneration Tool, Noble Isle Tea Rose Shower Gel, Gua Sha Facial Tool, Antonia Burrell Facial Cups, Thisworks Sleep Power Nap Spray, and finally a S1 Ep1 Tom-inspired eye mask courtesy of my mother's beauty stash.
If you also want a Van Ness-inspired routine, you obviously do not need all of these products - just a collection of your feel-good favorites.
With my products in hand, I embarked on a week-long journey with the aim of glowing and healthy skin, but I also channeled Van Ness's viewpoint that with a beauty routine, you should "do it for yourself", which he often stresses in Queer Eye. Although I live and breathe beauty, with stress from work and everyday life, I was doing what many others do: not taking time for myself because life got in the way. I was using products that "get sh*t done" rather than using the expensive shower gel I love or shimmering body oil because it's pretty.
By the end of the week, I realized that I wasn't just benefiting from using Van Ness's favorite products with newly glowing skin, I'd truly embraced his self-love and self-care ethos, which I was seriously lacking. Of course, self-care means very different things for different people. What some might deem "boring" self-care is just as important as taking time for yourself to treat your skin, but the principle Van Ness projects is about giving your body and mind what it needs and deserves.
Taking time to properly remove my makeup each night, spending the extra few minutes to suction cup my forehead to get rid of my terrible tension headaches, and using a bougie pillow spray because the smell made me feel like I had my sh*t together all had a really positive impact on my week. With this routine, I felt healthier overall, because other areas off my life were impacted, too. I didn't cancel yoga, I turned my emails off after 6 p.m., and I ate the food my body needed.
If I'm being totally honest, I probably won't be able to maintain this mantra consistently. Self-love isn't made overnight, and this extra time isn't always available. But it did serve as a reminder that a beauty regimen is more than just a fancy face cream. It is deeply personal and can give you control and enjoyment over something even when life seems to be spiraling out of control. So the next time you need a little Jonathan Van Ness magic in your life, I encourage a little self-love beauty experiment of your own.

The Way Bohemian Rhapsody Is Recreating Freddie Mercury's Vocals Isn't What You Thought
Musical films are all the rage right now: we're still drying our tears after catching A Star Is Born in theaters, we're looking forward to 2019's Elton John biopic Rocketman, and the trailer for Bohemian Rhapsody has us freaking out. The movie is based off Queen's legacy - specifically frontman Freddie Mercury and his effervescent, larger-than-life character. We were absolutely enthralled by the trailer, and we can't believe how spot-on Rami Malek's (Mr. Robot) portrayal of Mercury appears to be.
Malek has expressed how terrified he was of taking on the role, though we can't imagine anyone else portraying the late musician.
"When I got this role, I thought, 'Oh, my God, this could be a career-defining performance.' And about two minutes later, I thought, 'This could be a career killer,'" Malek told the Los Angeles Times. "I'm not kidding. You don't get this right and it's trouble."
Then when Entertainment Weekly pressed the actor for details about the film's production, Malek gave a little preview: "I will sing a little bit. Why not?"
While the singing in the trailer is actually Freddie Mercury, it turns out Malek actually uses his own pipes to play the icon.
"It is an amalgamation of a few voices," he told Metro. "But predominantly it is my hope and the hope of everyone that we will hear as much Freddie as possible. I think that is the goal for all of us."
The New York Times reported that the voice-mixing is a combination of Malek and Canadian singer Marc Martel. We're so thrilled Malek actually lends his voice to the musical tracks, since the actor truly went to great lengths to hone his craft. He told Times that he would practice impersonating Mercury with a fake set of teeth, even before the movie was greenlit. Then, he had to sing in front of the real Queen band members, which couldn't have been an easy audition.
Bohemian Rhapsody hits theaters Nov. 2.
Ariana Grande Has a Few Choice Words About Pete Davidson Spoofing Their Engagement For SNL
Uh-oh, things between Ariana Grande and Pete Davidson just got a little more awkward. The two decided to call off their wedding and split in October - just four months after surprising fans with news of their engagement - and have kept any inklings of issues between them under wraps. That is, until a promo for a new episode of SNL came out in which Pete Davidson made a joke about their ended relationship.
In the clip, Pete is standing with Jonah Hill, who will host the upcoming episode, and musical guest Maggie Rogers. After a brief introduction, Pete jokingly asks Maggie if she wants to marry him. After she declines his faux proposal, he quips, "0 for three."

Ariana apparently didn't take too kindly to that and addressed the video on social media through now-deleted tweets. "For somebody who claims to hate relevancy u sure love clinging to it huh," she wrote. And just for emphasis, she followed up with a couple more tweets, saying, "Thank u, next" and "hell naw though." She even liked and retweeted another user's message that said, "SNL is about to milk their breakup just like they did with the engagement."
Over the past few weeks, it seemed like both Ariana and Pete have tried to distance themselves from the breakup. Pete recently opened up about having to cover up a bunch of tattoos - and there are a bunch indeed - and he reportedly changed his phone number. Ariana, who had described their split as "very sad," has also been covering up any Pete-related tattoos and returned the $93,000 engagement ring. Although, Ariana will reportedly keep their pet pig, Piggy Smalls.
Let's just hope that this recent slip-up is a one-time thing and the two can continue to heal and move on. We need Ariana to keep singing bops and Pete to keep putting people on blast on SNL - excluding Ariana, of course.

Chris Pratt and Anna Faris Were All Smiles While Trick-or-Treating With Their Son and New Partners
Despite recently finalizing their divorce, Chris Pratt and Anna Faris enjoyed trick-or-treating together on Halloween. The former couple was spotted happily strolling about the streets of LA on Wednesday as they took their 5-year-old son, Jack, trick-or-treating along with their current partners.
Chris was seen kissing and walking arm-in-arm with his girlfriend of several months, Katherine Schwarzenegger, while Anna walked beside her beau, Michael Barrett. And don't think that they didn't go all-out for the occasion. Chris and Katherine sported matching Vikings costumes while Anna dressed as Snow White, Michael took on Daenerys Targaryen, and little Jack dressed up as a ninja.

Over 40 Hidden Ghosts You Probably Missed While Watching The Haunting of Hill House
By now, you've probably heard that there are hidden ghosts sprinkled throughout the dark, creepy backgrounds of every episode of The Haunting of Hill House, but did you realize there are over 40 of them?! During a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, showrunner Mike Flanagan not only revealed a crushing theory about the end of Netflix's horror series but also the reason so many ghosts linger in the corners of each frame.
"We had actually written and planned to shoot a complete history of Hill House," he explained. "Every other episode would open with about a five-minute history thing narrated by Steven, from his book and we did take from Jackson that the first victim of the house died before anyone had ever really stepped foot in it. We had built a really complex history of the Hill family that we ultimately didn't shoot."
Fortunately for all of us who were too scared by the Bent Neck Lady to pay attention to all those subtly horrifying Easter eggs, IMDb put together a video of all the spirits you might have missed. In addition to ghosts like William Hill (aka the tall, floating man) and Poppy Hill, there are quite a few that you won't recognize (and many that will give you nightmares). Watch the breakdown above, and then keep scrolling to take a closer look.

Groovy, Baby! A Fourth Austin Powers Movie Might Be in the Works
It's been 16 years since Austin Powers last graced the silver screen in all his shagadelic glory, and it looks like the international man of mystery may be getting his mojo back in the near future. During a recent interview with Access Online, Austin Powers writer and star Mike Myers coyly hinted that a fourth chapter may be added to the franchise soon.
"You're going to see Dr. Evil soon, somewhere in the culture. But the movie . . . they take a long time to write. They always have," he said, explaining that he's been spending the last seven years raising his three children. He added, "It's looking good, so we'll see."
Look, I'm all for the nostalgia factor of this possibility, but it's impossible to ignore the fact that watching a sex-crazed, often offensive British spy run around town blatantly asking women if he makes them "randy" may not tickle the fancy of today's audiences as much as it did back in the late '90s. Plus, a fourth installment would be markedly different in the absence of Verne Troyer, the Mini-Me actor who passed away earlier this year. If Austin Powers does rise from his hypothetical grave and hit theaters yet again, he'd better be back with a more socially conscious agenda.
Gwyneth Paltrow Is Glowing in This Glimpse of Her Gorgeous Wedding to Brad Falchuk
Gwyneth Paltrow and Brad Falchuk tied the knot in a gorgeous ceremony at their Hamptons home on Sept. 29, and the actress finally gave us a glimpse of the intimate event on Friday. In a Goop article titled "The Wedding Party: GP x Brad Tie the Knot," Gwyneth and Brad's Amagansett wedding is described as boasting "perfect weather, a superlative dinner, a dance party for the ages, and a dress that defies adjectives." Sure enough, Gwyneth stunned in an intricate lace gown by Valentino before changing into a short white Stella McCartney romper for that raucous dance party.
The couple exchanged vows in front of 70 family members and A-list friends, including Gwyneth's famous mom, Blythe Danner, and Robert Downey Jr., Steven Spielberg, Cameron Diaz, and Jerry and Jessica Seinfeld, who hosted a rehearsal dinner for the couple at their own home the night before. Shortly after their nuptials, Gwyneth shared a caption-less photo of their wedding bands on Instagram.
Gwyneth first met the Emmy-winning TV writer when she made a guest appearance on Glee in 2014. They went public with their romance a year later after being spotted on vacation in Italy. In 2017, Brad popped the question, and they celebrated with a star-studded engagement party hosted by Brad's longtime collaborator Ryan Murphy. "We feel incredibly lucky to have come together at this juncture in our lives when our collective successes and failures can serve as building blocks for a healthy and happy relationship," they said in a joint statement.
Gwyneth was previously married to Coldplay singer Chris Martin, and they have two children together, 14-year-old daughter Apple and 12-year-old son Moses, who were both by their mom's side on her big day. Brad was also previously married to producer Suzanne Bukinik, and they also have two kids, son Brody and daughter Isabella, who played roles in the wedding as well.
True Detective Season 3: Mahershala Ali Is on the Case in the Ominous Official Trailer
Yes, True Detective is finally returning for season three, and yes, Mahershala Ali looks damn good in the first official trailer. The third installment of HBO's gritty detective series, an anthology from Nic Pizzolatto, stars the Moonlight Oscar winner as Wayne Hays, a state police detective from Northwest Arkansas. He sets out to solve the mystery of two missing children in 1980, eventually crossing paths with Amelia Reardon (Selma's Carmen Ejogo), an Arkansas schoolteacher with a connection to the kids.
The new season will premiere on Sunday, Jan. 13, 2019. After a dry, painfully slow second season, the drama unsurprisingly lost a good number fans who couldn't get enough of Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson in season one. Fortunately, it seems the twisted new story - which will unfold over the course of three decades - as well as casting talented stars like Ali, Ejogo, Stephen Dorff, and Mamie Gummer will be more than enough to lure viewers back in. Check out the trailer now, then see all the intense set photos.
Rebel Wilson Called Herself the "First-Ever Plus-Sized" Rom-Com Lead, and People Aren't Having It
On Wednesday, Aussie actress and Pitch Perfect star Rebel Wilson stopped by The Ellen DeGeneres Show to promote her 2019 rom-com, Isn't It Romantic. While discussing the importance of displaying body diversity in romantic comedies on the big screen, Wilson stated, "I'm proud to be the first-ever plus-sized girl to be the star of a romantic comedy." The declaration didn't settle too well with some, and it set an important debate ablaze on social media.
The issue that many took with Wilson's edict is that she's not the first fuller-figured lead in a rom-com. Other Hollywood power forces, notably Queen Latifah, Monique, and Ricki Lake, starred in rom-coms of their own. In fact, Queen Latifah was nominated for a Teen Choice Award as choice movie actress for a romantic comedy for her role in 2010's Valentine's Day. Many pointed out not only the inaccuracy of Wilson's comment but how it also exposed another pitfall of Hollywood: the tendency to erase the efforts and trailblazing impact of people of color.
Wilson tried to defend herself in a tweet, saying, "it was questionable as to whether: 1. Technically those actresses were plus size when filming those movies or 2. Technically those films are catorgorized/billed as a studio rom-com with a sole lead. So there's a slight grey area."
Even so, other popular films, such as Netflix's recent release Sierra Burgess Is a Loser and 2007's Hairspray, starred women with curves and discussed the importance of body positivity. Although fuller-figured women are underrepresented in Hollywood, especially in the rom-com scene, they aren't completely nonexistent, and many Twitter users were quick to address that while others tried to give Wilson the benefit of the doubt.
Read some of the mixed reactions to Wilson's proclamation, and her attempt to justify it, ahead.
Getting Ghosted? Ryan Reynolds Jokes That Blake Lively Is Having a Supernatural Affair
Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively's relationship is the gift that keeps on giving. They always look madly in love when they're on a red carpet or out and about, but one of the best things about their relationship is their entertaining interactions on social media. On Thursday, we were presented with yet another hilarious tweet from Ryan himself, jokingly accusing his wife of dabbling into the world of supernatural intercourse.
In case you hadn't heard, there's a woman (who kind of resembles Blake?) saying that she's slept with 20 ghosts and plans on marrying one - yes, you read that correctly. Ryan caught wind of the bizarre news and, naturally, he had to poke some fun at it. Responding to the New York Post's tweet about the story, he alluded to Blake Lively cheating on him with the ghosts, saying, "THIS is how I find out?"
THIS is how I find out?

It's the perfect one-liner for a news story that otherwise would just leave us really confused (and wondering about the well-being of the woman). Considering the longstanding history of Blake and Ryan and their playful chemistry, we're sure they both got a kick out of the tweet.
Ariana Grande Performed With a Full Orchestra, and WOW, I Can't Handle the Perfection
Ariana Grande's Sweetener tour hasn't begun yet, but we've already been treated to the next best thing: a live performance of some of her best songs. The singer's TV special for the BBC aired on Thursday night, and she belted out hits like "Dangerous Woman," as well as material from her newest album, including "Breathin'" and "God Is a Woman." The special was recorded on Sept. 7 in front of a studio audience, and to take the performance to the next level, Ariana had a choir and an all-female orchestra onstage. Needless to say, it was stunning.
"It's such a dream come true," Ariana told the BBC. "Strings are like my favorite thing in the whole entire world." Does this mean an orchestra will be an integral part of the Sweetener tour? We can only hope, but in the meantime, we can watch each of these videos on repeat. See Ariana's breathtaking live performances ahead, and you'll relate to how fans on Twitter absolutely lost their sh*t.
Amazon Made a Bunch of People Watching THAT Gross Suspiria Scene, and It's . . . a Lot
If you've already seen Luca Guadagnino's sultry reimagining of Suspiria, chances are that one scene sticks out as grisly, grotesque, violent, and almost unwatchable. If you haven't seen it yet, consider this a primer of the horrors that await. Just in time for Halloween, Amazon has released a new clip of people watching THAT exact scene. No, we're not talking about that chilling final sequence, but rather a scene early on, in which Susie (Dakota Johnson) performs bewitching choreography that twists another one of the school's dancers into a horrible human pretzel. Even the sound effects alone are more than enough to make you lose your appetite. Watch at your own risk.
