CeLeBs- HaVe YoU hEaRd?!
      Ben Affleck is shooting a film where he's Winona Rider-his best bud Matt Damon's girl-'s romantic interest.... While Matt will be starring in a film with Ben's sweetie, Gwenyth Paltrow!  Looks like things are getting a little twisted, eh?  The two girls were recently spotted on the streets of New York having a girl bonding shopping spree.  I wonder if Gwenyth helps Ben shop... for his shoes, that is.  It must be hard, since you know, he wears a size 13 ½!   

     Recently at a celeb party, super-famous model Carolyn Murphy was confronted by Leonardo Dicpario, the "king of the world".  Want to hear the introduction?  "Hi, I'm Leo."  Carolyn's response? "Hi, I'm Leo, too!"  Gosh does that girl need to get a clue.... I mea, come on, Leo is a household face! 

      Speaking of Leo, the older and cuter Prince William gets, the more the two are compared.  William's reply to all those mean ole' papparazzi people?  "I think he'll find it easier being King of Hollywood than I sahll being King od England." 

      James Van Der Beek, better known to us as 15-year old cutie Dawson Leery, is legally aloud to drink.  Yep, 21.  (While we hope he doesn't take into that habit any time soon!).  To keep his innocent boyish look, James has to shave every couple of hours while filming Dawson.  Dang!  And we think we have it bad! 

      K, here's something really "halloween-ish" for ya.  Our kewl  Drew (Barrymore, that is) seems a bit.. vampish lately.  Recently she stated that she might be prat vampire.  What's she got to back it up?  Well, here are her "clues": Her grandfather was born in Hungary, a stone's throw from Transylvania, "vampire capital of the universe", she is allergic to garlic, and her mother Jaid wears only black.  Exclaims Drew, "The prospect of me being part vampire seems t be an absolute possibility!".  Well, what ever happened to the old saying that vampires never show up on film? hmmm..... I'll have to think about this one for a while. 

      Have a secret crush on mega cute Joshua Jackson?  Well, her's his description of his dream girl.  "Ever since I was a little kid, my dream woman was this girl in combat boots with shortt, dark hair-- you know, the kik-ass girl."  Well, looks like he met her, on the set of the Scream 2 (an awesome movie if you ask me, jsut leave your eyes closed the whole time!).  Who is it?  None other than Party (of 5) girl Neve Campbell!  Says Josh, "She showed up in the combat boots, the dark hair, and the spiked collar.  I was like, 'I love you!' ". 

      While at the hair salon gettin his 'do done, a female fan snuck up behind Matt Damon and stold some locks of his hair! Later that week, he heard a DJ on on the radio auctioning his stolen snippings!  Uh, weird! 

      According to a celeb manicurist, supermodels Cindy Crawford and Kate Moss have perfect nails... not a chipped, jagged, or discolored nail on those two!  Says the manicurist, they could live their whole lives without another bottle of nail polish of a french manicure and their nails would still look perfect.  Ugh, boy, it sure is true when they say life isn't fair...

Sarah Michelle Gellar, on her most creative Halloween costume: 
" I forgot Halloween one year.  So I took I borwn paper bag, taped it to my stomach, and said I was a kangaroo." 

"My cat's an important part of my life.  If I die before him, I want a little of my ashes put in his food so I can live inside him." - Drew Barrymore 

"I know I'm an acquired tase- I'm anchovies.  And not everybody wants those hairy little things. " -Tori Amos 

"My butt fascinates me.  Whenever I dance, I'm always looking back it it." -Tori Spelling

     Do you wanna throw an awesome Halloween Party? Well, I've got some tips for ya!  Firstof all, you need to plan your big night!  Where will it be? A good idea: see if your parents wouldn't mind parking the cars outside for a night, then, take a broom and sweep out the garage (the broom will even make for a nice decoration!).  Take a few sleeping bags out, and close your garage doors. Bring out the cd player, and turn on some funky colored lights--strobe lights work great!  You'll have people in the spooky mood in no time.  Now... Let's see... what do we need? Hmmm... oh, yeah! Decorations! How about some balloons... & maybe 
banners & black & orange crepe paper? Oh yeah! We can't forget those great paper people! Get some monsters, & hang 'em up on the walls. It'll make for some shreiks! For extra chills, make it really cold (if you are outside put fans in front of a bowl of ice, but not the dry ice, cause then you won't get the smoky effect).  Add some of those fake spider webs & some "dry ice" in bowls in several corners of the room.  You also may want to get some of those kool screamers. (The tapes 
of screaming & funky noises, made ecspecially for Halloween!) Now, for the food! Maybe some 
halloween candy (like Candy Corn! It always helps to have your holiday munchies!) Also, how about some chips & dip... maybe some pop or punch.  Add a few peeled grapes to the punch bowls to give your guests extra fright!  You can never go too far with your snacks! Party mix is always good.  Or take carrot sticks, peel them, and use cream cheese to stick thin walnut slices on the tips, like fingernails, and call them witches fingers!  Okay... so far, we have the place of party, decorations, & the food. Now we need guests! Invite that 
guy/girl that you have had your eye on for a while... it'll make a good impression on you..... with your great party & all! Invite your closest friends, & even your worst enemies!You could impress them by showing them what a  good of a job you did on preparing your fantastic party! Okay...So we have everything, I guess...... No, wait! We need pranks!!! What halloween party would be complete without some spooky pranks to make your guests scream?! You, or a friend, can dress up in a frieky outfit, then stand by the door, & as your unknowing guests approach the door & ring the bell... slowly open it, as if no one is there... then jump out at them! If they don't "go" in their pants, they'll probably pass out... but no worry! If they do..... simply pour your punch on their head! That'll wake them up! But, one of the most important things... you've GOTTA have dancing & music (Backstreet Boys songs work good, especialy Backstreet's Back, better known as Everybody!)! Clear out a space, & put up some lights! Get your groove on! Well, anywayz, let's get it going, girl! Have some fun with it! (Remember... you can NEVER go too far on your party! Do what you want! Who cares, man?! It only comes around once a year! Make your guests scream for more!
