Celebrities Kind of Suck at Halloween: A Gallery of the Worst

When you’re answering a job posting on Craigslist for “celebrity needed,” the requirements you have to meet are pretty lax, actually. ”Some or no education,” “discreet at pre-noon drinking,” “have a face that magazine camera scientists can work with,” “can sign own name,” etc.

So should we really expect celebrities to come up with incisive, topical, and funny costumes for Halloween, considering the requisite celebrity skill set? The answer is yes, because 1) some of these people have a good sense of humor or at least a good wardrobe guy, right? and 2) all of these people have so much damn money that they can waltz into a costume store and declare, “Hi, I’m Jamie Foxx, and for Halloween, I am going to be the recently unveiled experimental Ares IX Mars rocket. The costume should be made entirely of regulation NASA parts, and I think it goes without saying that there should also be a motorized launchpad. Please have it ready by 4.” So really, there’s no excuse for these q-side Halloween get-ups. Annotated gallery of the worst of celebrity Halloween (plus a few of the best), after the jump.
