Halloween Haunts: Who dressed as what, was with whom, and where?

By Lolita Carrico
One night, so many choices! Some stars opted for family time Halloween night and trick-or-treated with the kids around the neighborhood. Jake Gyllenhaal and Reese Witherspoon were spotted with her little ones, Ava, 8, and Deacon, 4, making the candy rounds in Brentwood. Ava dressed up as a witch, just like mom Reese. Deacon went as a superhero, while Jake dressed as a gorilla. Julianne Moore also hit the streets with kids Caleb, 9, and Liv, 5, in NYC. On the party front, mom-to-be Christina Aguilera and husband Jordan showed up to a Halloween Eve party in L.A. as Spider Woman and Dracula. Britney, of course, hit the clubs, dressed up as a hot pink, fishnet-wearing cat. Boy-band Hanson, collectively dads to three boys and a girl, took the stage and played to a costumed crowd of nearly 500,000 in West Hollywood.

Ghouls, Ghosts, and Stars: What Celeb Moms are Doing for Halloween

By Lolita Carrico
Happy Halloween, Modern Moms! We're sure most of you are putting those last minute touches on your children's costumes and spraying faux cobwebs on your shrubs. We asked some of our favorite celebrity moms what their kids were dressing up as for Halloween. Thought you'd like to know what they said:

Keri Russell: "My mom sent me this really funny little hat that has bat ears and wings on it. I thought that I totally wasn't going to be that kind of mom who dresses her kid up in ridiculous things but we put it on him and it's so cute we can't help it! My brother actually sent me a pacifier with Dracula fangs, so that's River's (4 months) costume.

Laura Dern: ??My son Ellery (age 6) is definitely going to be the Pink Panther. It's a real Old School choice. I had to find the pattern on ebay. So he's going as the Pink Panther, and he told me I was going to be Inspector Clouseau.?

Lisa Rinna: ??My daughter Amelia (6) is going as a Japanese geisha girl, and so am I. Delilah (9) is probably going to be a dead cheerleader.?

Cindy Crawford: My daughter, Kaia (6), wants to be Hannah Montana. I'm trying to get the wig just right for her. She got to meet Miley Cyrus at a Disney event we went to, and ever since said she HAS to be Hannah. We go trick or treating in Malibu, where we live. In this neighborhood, everyone decorates their house. It feels like a small town Halloween, which is really nice.?

Bridgette Wilson-Sampras: Christian (4) wants to be Batman or Spiderman. I'm not sure about Ryan (2) yet! We usually visit my husband's (Pete Sampras) family??they all live in Palos Verdes. And we'll definitely go to the pumpkin patch on Doheny and Santa Monica [in West Hollywood] because we go every year!"

Multitasking Mom Marcia CrossHow She Treats Herself

By Natasha Burton

Marcia Cross is a hands-on mom who I always see out and about around L.A., soaking up the sunshine with her twin girls, Eden and Savannah. Of course, Marcia is usually donning a hat to protect her lovely lily-white skin. Whether they are window shopping in Santa Monica or browsing though the Farmer's Market she looks like she is having a blast with her little girls.

Between her Deperate Housewives' shooting schedule and the quality time she spends with her kids (and husband), how does this modern mom spend the time she has for herself? At the spa! Mommywood learned that Marcia hits up Beverly Hills' Thibiant Salon for facials regularly to take a break from it all. I knew she must have a secret for getting her fair skin to actually glow! I went down to Thibiant to get the star treatment last week for myself and tried their new organic facial. All the products used in the organic facial are ??USDA approved organic?, which is fabulous for me because I love the idea using all natural products on my skin without having to commit to the whole organic lifestyle!

Outdoor-loving (yet skin-protecting) Marcia seems like she would be a natural fan of this facial. I will be sure to ask her if she's tried it if I run into her at my next treatment!

How do you treat yourself? What are your must-haves to relax?

Thats Amore: Reese and Jakes Italian Weekend

By Lolita Carrico

            Reese and Jake might not have gotten cozy at the L.A. premiere of  ??Rendition? as I hoped, but they sure made up for it while promoting the film in Italy on Sunday at the Rome Film Festival. Perez Hilton reported that the co-stars spend all day Saturday together sightseeing and ??were even spotted snuggling in public at the Trevi fountain.? So exciting! I'm glad they waiting until Reese's divorce went through before stepping out??very classy of them. Can't wait to see what happens next!
