A very cold dish of revenge

Remember Deryck Whibley used to be married to Avril Lavigne? And that Lavigne is now engaged to Chad Kroeger?

Guess who Deryck and his current partner dressed up as for Halloween?

"Ha ha, you're engaged to someone from a dreadful rock band, Avril" scoffs Deryck, recalling a phrase written on gifts given to Avril back at her last wedding shower.

Hey, the packet doesn't say Amy Winehouse Wig

Not ones to let a cruel, young death stand in the way of a wacky Halloween outfit sale, at least one branch of Party City still thinks it would be a hoot to go to parties as Amy Winehouse:

Classy.

Gordon in the morning: Was someone a little bit frightened?

Poor Gordon was disappointed when he went to see one of his favourite bands. They were wearing Halloween costumes:

They all donned scary costumes for the afternoon show at the Kentish Town Forum.

But unfortunately this tom-foolery overshadowed the fact they're pretty good at what they do.

Halloween is still a week away.

They should let their well-crafted songs and decent voices do the talking.

Which band took the shine of their well-crafted songs with masks and make-up?

Erm, The Wanted.

To be fair, a costume doesn't have to be very elaborate to overshadow the Wanted's talent. A pair of Groucho Marx glasses on someone backstage, and the focus is going to be off their singing.

Gordon in the morning: Happy Halloween, ladies

Don't ask. Just don't ask.
