Rachel Bilson takes her dog for a walk in LA.

We heard rumors that it would be Obama appearing on SNL the weekend before the election, but now it’s sounding like it’ll be McCain instead. Sources inside NBC are reporting that the Republican nominee will make an appearance just days before voters hit the polls.

Is anyone honestly undecided at this point??

HOW???

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

Wow, you guys, honestly, my stomach hurts right now from laughing so hard at all the photos you submitted, and my mouth hurts from smiling. Your pets are ADORABLE. Not as adorable as my dog, of course, but still. Insanely cute.

I tried to group the photos by costume — there are a bunch of bumblebees, some witches and pirates, a couple of prisoners and a handful of chickens. There was also a Yoda, a Ghostbuster, a Batman, Alice in Wonderland (who gets to be the headliner here because her owner is EvilT), a Mermaid, a horse with a cowboy, a frog and a duck, Kanye West and a variety of other creative and hilarious ideas. I sincerely hope these pictures make you guys as happy as they made me.

If you sent me a photo of your pet and you don’t see it here, it is probably because you did not make your email subject line “EB Pet Costume.” I tried to get all the photos, but I get a ton of emails/tips and it’s hard to sort through them all, which is why it’s important you use the subject line specified. So, before I start getting emails asking why your pet wasn’t cute enough, check the subject line of your outgoing email and, if necessary, resend it. Everyone’s pet is cute enough!

An angry teenage boy unhappily poses with his mother, FEARNet president Diane Robina, who has dragged him to the organization’s annual Halloween bash in NYC when he’d much rather be at home playing baseball or listening to Nirvana albums.

Also there: a little-known actress by the name of Lindsey Lohman, who, if you believe the Hollywood murmurings, is poised to be the Next Big Thing.

Oh, what’s that? She always looks like that? Huh. Well, I guess she has to be better than Paris Hilton at something, right? The Other Heiress hosted a Halloween shindig at 1OAK, and no one famous showed up who wasn’t related to her, but that didn’t stop little ol’ Lydia from posing up a storm in her series of costumes. Honestly, I don’t even know what these costumes are. The first one? Might be some sort of journalist. Ah ha ha ha! Oh, Lydia. Look at you! Making fun of those paparazzi who soullessly hound you after you have your people call in tips. All that horrid attention that you in no way beg for. Oh, what a sense of humor you have, young lady! And the second one? WTF? Is that a wood nymph? Oh, God, that’s totally what I should have been. “I’m a wood nymph, yo. Get it? I’m a total nymph, and I give you wood. GET IT???”
