Video: Seal and Heidi Are Giant Crows For Halloween

Heidi Klum and husband Seal dressed as giant black crows for Halloween. They talked to E! about the costumes, which Heidi designed and had someone else make. Heidi said she thinks about her Halloween costume for a long time in advance.

When Seal didn't seem too enthused about being forced to walk around in a giant bird costume she said he could pick the costumes next year. Ever the gentleman, Seal demurred and said that he leaves all that to her. He gamely tried to backtrack and say that the costumes weren't really that uncomfortable, but clearly they were. The giant beaks, the black makeup...not easy to wear. It's pretty funny, take a look:

Kim Kardashian is Princess Jasmine

Kim Kardashian Princess Jasmine


Many celebrities went as characters from popular children's programs this year. Some decided to give a sexy spin on the characters. We don't quite recall Princess Jasmine sporting this much cleavage. Kim Kardashian blogged that she decided to go as Princes Jasmine because she's "been wanting to go as her for years and found the perfect costume!" She also wore a Snow White outfit to another party to complete her Disney themed Halloween. She says she will be posting that photo later on her blog.

Video: Michelle Obama is a Leopard Woman for Halloween

President Obama, Michelle Obama and the first grandmother Marian Robinson handed out candy to the children of military families at the White House for Halloween. Barack did not go in costume, but Michelle looked fabulous in black pants, a leopard print twin set, cat ears and some awesome cat eye makeup. She accessorized with bangle bracelets.

The first couple greeted guests and passed out goody bags filled with a large butter cookie made by White House pastry chef Bill Yosses and a National Park Foundation Ranger activity book. White House press secretary Robert Gibbs came as Darth Vader. Michelle told Jay Leno that it required security clearance to find out what Sasha and Malia were doing for Halloween and what their costumes were. We're guessing they went trick or treating with school mates to try to have a more normal evening. Take a look:
