As much as I adore New York City, when you combine it with my favorite holiday, Halloween (yes, that’s right, Halloween!) you have one spooktacular night in full effect! Imagine, however, being an actor. You get paid big bucks to dress in costume and assume someone else’s persona day after day!

And when you’re an A-lister like Brad Pitt and have six children, well, dressing up on Halloween is simply a no-brainer. That’s right: the father of six kids, along with partner Angelina Jolie, went trick-or-treating old-style. They went to a residential neighborhood near the Hollywood Hills and were not to be missed!

That’s ’cause he wore a high-octane orange jumpsuit and put beads in his beard in order to impersonate DJ Lance Rock. The DJ is the host of Nick, Jr.’s show, Yo Gabba Gabba!

If imitation is the highest form of flattery, DJ Lance Rock couldn’t have been more thrilled. He told UsMagazine.com, “Brad Pitt looked AWESOME in my costume!” He also invited the Jolie-Pitts to hang in his ‘hood. “If he, Angelina and the kids want to come hang out in Gabba land, they’re welcome anytime!”

Nevertheless, Halloween always seems to be a festive time of year. As fun as it was to see the Pittster in costume, did you have a fave celebrity costume this year? Perhaps someone you know actually dressed up as Jolie or Pitt?

It’s hard to believe we lost John F. Kennedy, Jr. 10 years ago this month. Can you remember where you were 10 years ago and what you were doing when you heard the horrible news that his plane was MIA? If you’re from the NYC area, you’ll recall that Friday night had a mysterious haze to it, one which you can’t even imagine flying a plane by visual cues.

So, as I think about celebs in the news there’s nothing bigger than our nation’s royalty as it relates to Camelot. Although times were certainly different when he and his sister Caroline grew up under the microscope, their mother Jacqueline certainly made their privacy a priority.  I can’t imagine how many magazines in this day and age would try to snap their photos if they only had the opportunity. Better yet – one can surmise the cash amounts associated with snagging a private photo of them.

Anyway, John-John would have been 48-years-old at the present time and who knows what type of political ambitions he may have seen to fruition. As our nation collectively mourned his loss, I remember watching news programs which indicated our country lost “a son.” Now, since I wasn’t even born when JFK was assassinated to see that monumental salute by his son, to my generation John F. Kennedy, Jr. was more of an icon, perhaps a cool prince, a devastatingly handsome and successful guy.

In any case, let’s not forget him nor his wife, Carolyn and her sister. R.I.P.

What do you think? Since John’s tragic death, has anyone perhaps taken the “throne” of being America’s prince – not in a Hollywood-type way but rather in a classic, regal American way?
