Editor Obsessions: 6 Halloween-Inspired Products We Love!

Happy Halloween!

Not all of us choose to celebrate today's holiday with a foam finger or animal ears. There are ways to be festive and don't require you to wear (part of) a costume.

A few of our favorites?

Try nabbing an autumn hued polish like CoverGirl's Rogue Red lacquer (don't worry about the name it really paints on a fiery orange tint). Or for something even more spooky score Deborah Lippmann's limited edition Wicked set, inspired by the witchy Broadway show. An even simpler way to jazz up your look is a pair of Lashfully's faux lashes—after all, if you're going to go all out during the daytime, Halloween is definitely the perfect occasion.

As for wardrobe, we're planning on wearing PacSun's vampire statement sweater topped with Stella & Bow's Dracula necklace and Charlotte Olympia's Jack-o-Lantern flats. Boo-yah!

Nick Jonas Joins Olivia Culpo in Moscow: She's "Obviously Someone I Care a Lot About"

The Miss Universe Pageant should introduce a special category this year: Cutest Couple in the Wings.

And we're just sayin', Nick Jonas and Olivia Culpo would run away with the crown!

E! News caught up with the singer-actor and the outgoing Miss Universe in Moscow, where Culpo will help crown her successor this weekend, and they were extremely supportive of each other and sounded genuinely happy to be halfway around the world together.

Asked what he's learned about his girlfriend of several months while watching her go about her Miss Universe duties in Russia, Nick sounded genuinely impressed.

"Ever since, beyond just this trip, I think that this trip specifically though, just seeing...all the hard work, but watching her and what she's done this last year and a half of her life, it's amazing," the newly solo artist said. "She puts a lot of hard work in and I'm just happy to be a part of it and do whatever I can."

Olivia, who looked adoringly at her man as he talked adoringly about her, then credited Nick with providing a respite from her packed schedule.

"Well, time with my family and a good relationship is definitely what makes it easy," she said, again looking at her boyfriend, "so those things kind of balance out with the hard work. And being able to give back and being able to inspire people with the crown and sash is an honor.

"It's something that I was only able to do for just the year, and I'm just excited to have had that and to be able to pass it on to somebody else."

And pass it on she will this Saturday, to one of the 86 beauties vying for her crown at Crocus City Hall in Krasnogorst, Moscow Oblast, Russia.

"It's great," Nick said again about being around to witness the process. "I'm so happy to be able to come and be a part of the...support.

"She's obviously someone I care a lot about, so I'm happy to be here and it's a nice trip for me to just come and enjoy."

Sounds like we've got a winning couple right here.

American Horror Story: Coven Recap: Halloween Brings Death, Zombies and 11 WTF Moments

Michele K. Short/FX

Spoiler Alert! Do not continue reading unless you've watched American Horror Story's latest episode. We're spelling out all of the latest happenings and will hex all those who complain about being spoiled in the comments!

Happy Halloween, witches!

American Horror Story: Coven celebrated the spooky holiday a day early with a truly fitting outing that left us creeped out and dying for more. Halloween has become a two-episode tradition for the FX anthology series and Coven's "Fearful Pranks Ensue" did not disappoint as the war between the Salem witches and the voodoo witches really started to heat up, we learned just how creepy Spalding (Denis O'Hare) really is and the Council finally made its highly anticipated debut.

Plus, a new villain was introduced and it's someone very close to one of our main witches and series took a page out of The Walking Dead's playbook...

SCOOP: How TV characters would handle trick-or-treaters!

1. It's War: The truce between the Salem witches and the voodoo witches is over! Why? After the Minotaur almost killed Queenie (Gabourey Sidibe), Fiona (Jessica Lange) decided to send Marie (Angela Bassett) a message: Her lover's head in a box. Cold-blooded! And through she brokered the peace treaty between the two factions decades earlier, Marie is out for revenge, raising the dead from their graves to attack Miss Robichaux's Academy for Exceptional Young Ladies. Oh, and three of those zombies just happen to be Madame LaLaurie's (Kathy Bates) daughters that Marie murdered back in the day. Game on, witches!

2. Fiona's Line of the Night: "Tonight I'm going to let the whole world in and get a good look at me. Who's the baddest witch in town?" Role. Model. Status.

3. Ladykiller: Thought Cordelia's (Sarah Paulson) husband Hank (Josh Hamilton) as too good to be true? That's because he is! After meeting up with Kaley (Welcome back, Alexandra Breckenridge), a pretty redhead he met online and indulging in some pretty intense sexy-times, Hank took out a gun and shot her in the head. Worst date ever.

NEWS: Vote for TV's best couple of all time!

4. Guys and Dolls: As if hugging scarecrows and having tea parties with dolls wasn't creepy enough, we learned how truly disturbed Spalding is when it's revealed he's keeping Madison's (Emma Roberts) body in his room and added her to his collection of dolls. Excuse us while we go take a million showers.

5. Silent Treatment: In a flashback to 1971, we learn Spalding actually cut off his own tongue to protect Fiona as Myrtle (Frances Conroy) but a spell on his tongue that would render him incapable of lying aka he would be forced to reveal that Fiona killed the former Supreme. Just before slicing off his own tongue, he told her, "These are my last words, Ms. Fiona: I have always loved you."

6. The Witch Hunt Begins: We finally got to learn more about the mysterious witch Council, meeting its three members after Nan (Jamie Brewer) called them when she could no longer hear Madison's thoughts. In addition to Myrtle, Fiona's longtime rival from their days as students at the school (see above tongue-cutting), the severe and stern Pembroke and the flamboyant writer Quentin, whom Fiona affectionately calls a "vicious old queen," make up the Council, which only "assembles only under the gravest circumstances." Through their introduction, we learn that the penalty for killing a Salem witch is death by fire and that the last time a witch was burned at the stake was in 1926. Myrtle, however, is hoping to change that soon. "I've got a book of matches in my pocket and I'm just dying to light this fire," she told Fiona.

SCOOP: Could Coven potentially become an AHS spinoff?!

Michele K. Short/FX

7. Queen Bee Memories: How hilariously awesome was the Mean Girls-esque montage of everyone being questioned by the Council about Madison? We particularly enjoyed Queenie's description of the party girl: "Madison Mongtomery is a stone cold bitch who loves hard drinking, big d--ks and trouble. If she's dead it's probably because she got wasted and offered the grim reaper a hand job or something."

8. Burnt to a Crisp: Remember how we were waiting for Cordelia's storyline to really get going? Well, the wait is over as not only was her husband revealed to be a twisted killer, but a hooded figure attacked her in the bathroom at the end of the hour, throwing a potion on her face that immediately started burning her. Yeah, we're thinking fertility is no longer at the top of Cordelia's list of issues.

9. The Walking Dead: As for our FrankenKyle (Evan Peters), he's out and about amongst unsuspecting trick-or-treaters after killing his mother in last week's episode. After finally realizing bringing Kyle back to life probably wasn't the best idea, Zoe decided to kill him by putting rat poison in his food. But when she went to serve him his last meal, he'd left the house, so hide ya kids, hide ya wives, New Orleans! (P.S. Did anyone else catch the subtle nod to Peters' season one character Tate Langdon with the skeleton sitting in the car that Zoe locks eyes with?!)

SCOOP: Is Glee moving to Russia?!

10. The Supreme Search Continues: Oops, Fiona's blunder! It's revealed that there is no way Madison could've been the next Supreme as she had a heart murmur and a Supreme has glowing health. Hey, haven't you ever made a mistake?!

11. Mother-Daughter Bonding: Before having her face burned off (rough twist, girl!), we actually got to see Fiona and Cordelia share a nice moment at a bar. Of course, a nice moment for them consisted of taking shots and playing a game in order to tell each other the truth (like why Fiona hates Hank). And when Cordelia told her mother, "You'll make a bad girl of me yet," it felt pretty ominous, no?

What did you think of American Horror Story's Halloween episode? Who do you think attacked Cordelia? Sound off in the comments!

Arrow Scoop: Emily Bett Rickards Teases a "Change" in Felicity and Oliver's Relationship

Jack Rowand/The CW

Felicity (Emily Bett Rickards) is one tough cookie. 

Though she started off as Oliver's (Stephen Amell) shy, socially akward admirer on Arrow, I.T. wiz Felicty has quickly turned into an essential (and quippy!) member of Team Arrow, alongside Ollie's right-hand man Diggle (David Ramsey). Sure, the crush is still present, but she's become more confident and willing to stand up to Oliver, which has made us love her even more. But could her role, and Oliver and Felicity's relationship, change in the CW hit's upcoming episodes?

We chatted with last season's biggest breakout star about the team's newest member who causes , Felicity and Oliver's changing relationship, spending time with the Black Canary (Caity Lotz) and the misfortune of working with some of TV's hottest actors...

VIDEO: Watch an exclusive sneak peek from tonight's episode!

Perks of the Job: Poor, poor Rickards, being forced to watch Amell and Ramsey work out, often shirtless, for the sake of the show. Let's canonize her now, shall we?!

"The only time I ever got distracted was recently and it was because I was really tired and Stephen was just hanging out, no shirt, and they were spraying him down," she tells us. "I don't know if I was just at one of those points where you just stare right through things, but I realized I was staring right at his abs and I was probably for two minutes. I was like, ‘Ah, I hope nobody saw that!' and I looked up and Lea the makeup artist was laughing. I was like, ‘Oh no!' [Laughs.]"

And she doesn't even try to be stealthy (or use tiredness as a scapegoat) when it comes to Ramsey's arms. "Oh my God, Ramsey's arms. I've voiced that. That's like a known fact. I go up and hug him and put my face into his arms on a regular basis!"

The Trio Becomes a Quartet: As Amell previously told us, someone new (and unexpected) will be learning Oliver's secret, joining the Arrow team. "I would really enjoy it, but I think it'll create a little bit turmoil at first, adding a new person to a group," Rickards says. "I am really excited to add this character to the group and have that character learn that secret because it'll be a really interesting dynamic and it'll be really fun for me."

Also fun for Rickards? Felicity sharing some screen time with the Black Canary. "We don't get to see them interact a whole lot, but they do get to share a scene that everyone can look forward to," she previews.

Hope for Olicity: Fans rooting for the hero and the I.T. girl to hook up should prepare to see a shift in their dynamic, as Rickards teases, We definitely start to see [the relationship] change. We're on episode 10 right now and they were growing as friends and then Felicity has this sort of crush, and she's still got this crush, but she's become such an important part of the trio and such an equal. I think that gives her the room and the ground to have more say in things." Which means she will butt heads with Oliver, similar to the scene in which Felicity stood up to the well-abbed one on Diggle's behalf in episode three. "Confrontation is not her jam, but we do get to that side of her appear again. I think it's a lot of built up frustration and constantly hitting a wall with Oliver."

Arrow airs tonight at 8 p.m. on the CW.

Bethenny Frankel Owes Omarosa $10,000: Fine, I Did Slam You on The View

Neilson Barnard/Getty Images for 'bethenny'

Be careful what you bet on, Bethenny Frankel.

Because if it involves taking on Omarosa Manigault, you're gonna lose if Donald Trump isn't there to do some firing.

In an appearance on Bethenny that aired today, the Apprentice villain innocently mentioned how her host had once slammed her on The View, saying that, compared to Omarosa, she had "a real career."

"I thought we were friends and it really hurt my feelings," Omarosa, who parlayed being a contestant on the first-ever season of The Apprentice into reality-TV notoriety and is now an assistant pastor in Los Angeles, said.

"First of all, we knew each other from The Apprentice, we had never had dinner, we weren't friends," Bethenny, who appeared on Martha Stewart's short-lived version of the show, recalled.

"I thought we were friends," Omarosa insisted. When you were on Martha Stewart's Apprentice, you contacted me, maybe reaching out, maybe you were just trying to use me to get information—and you can call that what you want...To go on The View and badmouth me to my friend [Sherri Shepherd], that's bad form, Bethenny."

"If you're going to talk about something that happened, let's get the facts straight," the former Real Housewife said, trying to remember her exact words.

"You never said, 'I have a real career'? Omarosa said skeptically. "I read the quote, you said, 'I have a real career.'"

"Can we just get the quotes?! I will give you $10,000 if I said 'I have a real career,'" Bethenny promised.

"I'll watch you pull it up!" her guest said excitedly, promising to use the money to minister to folks on skid row. "This has turned out to be a great day!"

Bethenny mused, "I think I said, 'No, actually, I have a brand, I have two New York Times best-sellers, I have a cocktail…Omarosa used [her reputation] for being infamous...'"

Well, sure enough, after the commercial break, a producer handed Bethenny a smart phone and she pulled up a rundown of her appearance on The View.

"'I think she's an interesting example,'" Bethenny began reading, "'because she used her time on a reality show...'

"I said 'I have a real career', I owe you $10,000," she admitted, her eyes never leaving the screen.

"It's different for you and I," Omarosa continued after Bethenny had eaten her serving of crow. "I am an African-American woman. You get to walk around and be mediocre and you still get rewarded with things. We have to be exceptional to get anything in this business."

But Bethenny would only concede that Omarosa was $10,000 richer, saying, "I don't think you have a brand.

"You make cupcakes, I worked in the White House," Omarosa fired back. "Get a grip...I am a smart businesswoman who celebrates being smart and there is a brand in being smart."

"Your brand is smart?" Frankel wondered. "That's in your business plan?" 

"Absolutely," Omarosa said. "I have an accomplished career. I teach young people...I hope they don't get discouraged from watching two women who have an opportunity to put things behind us. We have a chance to turn this thing around."

"No, we don't," her host said flatly.

After the interview aired, Omarosa retweeted some of the nicer comments from fans about the way she handled the chat on her end.

Bethenny tweeted yesterday after they taped: "Wow. Tomorrow with Omarosa on @Bethenny is next level.... I haven't experienced anything like it since Real Housewives...I like talking to controversial people. I'm intrigued by human behavior. More interesting than 'celeb gossip.'"

Bitch Stole My Look! Rita Wilson vs. Paloma Faith in Tom Ford

by JJ Moore Tue., Oct. 29, 2013 5:00 PM PDT

Tim P. Whitby/Getty Images; XPOSUREPHOTOS.COM

Tom Ford calls this his "Ka-Pow" gown, and there's no mistaking why.

Both Rita Wilson and Paloma Faith made an impact in the explosion-inspired ensemble. As much as we love the wild detail on both dresses, this is a case of a couture catch-22: the positive of such a bold style is that your look will be totally memorable, but that plus turns to a minus once someone else wears it...

VIDEO: Hear Paloma Faith open up on Chelsea Lately about her thoughts on the LA dating scene

Our gut instinct is to prefer Mrs. Tom Hank's more muted black approach. The embellished sparks are just as powerful but somehow less "out there" against the black.

Then we took a closer look at Paloma's approach. There is something absolutely stunning about the all-red against the larger version of the dynamite image, plus scarlet and deep purple are a perfect combo for fall.

So shocked as we are to say this, we prefer the more shocking color combo! What's your take?
