Heidi Klum Hints at ‘Larger than Life’ Halloween Costume

Heidi Klum‘s annual Halloween party gives some of Hollywood’s hottest stars the opportunity to dress up and outdo one another with over-the-top costumes. But not even the most stylish A-list guests can outshine the lavish party’s host, who goes all out each year, dressing up as everything from Lady Godiva and Betty Boop to a not-so-sexy apple from the Garden of Eden—and even a crow! “It’s really a night where more is more,” Heidi told InStyle at Sunday night’s launch of the Theordora & Callum accessories collection in L.A. “It’s fun to pump up the volume and bring out some color and magic!” Not only does she haul in long hours making her own costume, but the supermodel is also on duty to perfect the look of her husband, Seal. “It takes hours. I do my own make-up and I really go full-on,” she says. “I also do my husband’s makeup and help with his costume.” While it may seem impossible to compete with her past looks, she promises her costume for this year’s spookiest night will top it all. “It is larger than life, literally. I’ll be towering over everybody.” –Jessie Goldberg

Kanye West Flashes His New Diamond Teeth

Kanye West has a reputation of being a loud mouth, but he took the phrase to a whole new level on Tuesday when he stopped by the Ellen DeGeneres Show with some newly acquired bling: An entire row of diamond teeth! “I just thought the diamonds were cooler,” he explained. “I used to always clean my jewelry with toothpaste anyway so it works out.” And though he justifies his decision by saying, “There are some things rock stars are supposed to do,” the performer admits there are some drawbacks to having a mouthful of sparklers. “I swear my [Cartier] Love bracelet and gold & diamond teeth always set off the metal detector,” he lamented over Twitter. Tell us: What do you think of Kanye’s diamond-encrusted enamel? - Justine Harman

SNEAK PEEK: Taylor Swift’s Wax Figure

With so many celebrities getting their own wax figures recently, it’s hard to believe there are any A-listers left who haven’t gotten their own body double, especially megawatt stars like Fergie and Taylor Swift. But it looks like the Black Eyed Peas frontwoman will have to wait her turn to get her “humps” and “lady lumps” immortalized! Starting next week, country crooner Taylor is joining the likes of Kim Kardashian, Rihanna and Lady Gaga in becoming one of Madame Tussauds’ waxed elite. In an exclusive preview, we get a sneak peek of Taylor’s likeness – mostly just her torso! – in a glam, black and silver embellished number by celebrity-favorite designer Jenny Packham. The stage-ready dress was donated by the 20-year-old Grammy winner herself, complementing her famously long gams. Just in time for the release of her highly-anticipated new album, Speak Now (out Oct. 25), the full figure will be revealed to the public next week on Oct. 27 at Madame Tussauds New York. – Hana Choi

Scarlett Johansson Debuts Tousled Bob: Love It or Hate It?

Fame

It looks like Nicole Richie‘s not the only A-lister loving the tousled bob. Fellow blonde bombshell Scarlett Johansson turned heads last night when she stepped out at the Mango Fashion Awards rocking the same sexy style. The actress, who debuted her bobbed do three months ago with a bed-head take on the cut, has evolved the look into a shorter, sleeker, more coiffed style, with slightly sculpted waves and turned-up tips. We love seeing Hollywood give the classic bob a screen-siren makeover, but what do you think of this style? Tell us: Do you love Scarlett’s hair or wish she’d try do something else entirely?
