Is there anyone on the planet cooler than Yoko Ono? No, there is not. Maybe Merlin if he's really still trapped in that cave — but, then again, nope.

Halloween: a holiday in which we hearken back to our pagan roots by dressing up as sexy versions of various occupations and demanding candies from strangers. Every year Heidi Klum honors this day by inviting a lot of famous (and sort of famous) people to a night club. Some of them get very much into the spirit of the night; others literally wear pajamas. Let's take a look:

I have many fantasies. Rape is not one of them. Being molested by a naked zombie, not so much. So, I definitely didn’t expect to feel so close to either of those nightmares when I entered a Pittsburgh haunted house earlier this month. (They don’t actually rape you or get completely naked. But it gets way too close for comfort, even if you know what’s coming.)

November is a very good month, and compared to October, it's another country! Mercury will be retro until Dec 10, but then free + clear!

— Astrology Zone (@astrologyzone) November 1, 2013

We made it. October was really sort of a rough one, wasn't it? But now, new month, new us, and my Susan Miller is looking really promising. This month I'm going to be "smarter, leaner, tougher, and more able than ever to cope with anything life tosses my way" (doubtlessly she refers to Movember and NaNoWriMo, which both represent long-standing, overly personal trials to my soul); also, Jupiter's going to be "swirling pixie dust here, there, and everywhere" to up my romance game, and work-wise, I'll be thinking "exceptionally clearly." Everyone get ready for some exceptionally clear blogging this month.

So, was your October as bad as Susan Miller said? Is your new forecast also full of joy? Did you too start checking your Susan Miller as a joke and then start believing in it as a practical method of releasing part of your burgeoning tendency to maniacally schedule and control? Have I been driven to astrology because my other form of life management is being ruined by Atlantic pieces? Do you feel like you match your sign? (I'm starting to feel like I am pretty Scorpio-y.) How do you feel about Movember and NaNoWriMo? Should we hijack Movember by refusing to wax our facial hair for a month? The future, though forecasted sunnily, remains chock full of questions.

Alex Wild, a wildlife photographer, compiled a list with photos of terrible ways to die if you're a bug*. For example, this trap-jaw ant from Belize wasn't pregnant. The swelling in its belly was from a parasitic worm feeding on its guts and gradually growing until it ruptured the exoskeleton.

So, in a way, the experience is analogous to pregnancy.

Mr. Wild depicts these as terrible arthropod deaths. But most of them would be unpleasant for us humanoids, too.

*This is a scientific term.

This season of American Horror Story has been about as wild and ridiculous and blood-drenched and campy as you'd expect a story of warring witch factions to be. And while Coven already has a more cogent central theme than season one's Murder House, it is missing a little something — ... More »

Justin Timberlake has had plenty of uncomfortably dramatic, slightly sexy moments in beautiful houses in Los Angeles in his music videos, most famously in "Cry Me A River," but his new video for "TKO," that seven minute non-single released in September really takes it to a new level.

Banksy, the elusive British street artist nearing the end of a month-long New York City residency, published an op-ed column on his website Sunday slamming the design of One World Trade Center, the 104-story skyscraper scheduled to be opened on the World Trade Center site next year. "As a visitor staying New York for the past few weeks one thing has become very clear to me," Banksy wrote in the op-ed. "You've got to do something about the new World Trade Center. That building is a disaster. Well no, disasters are interesting. One World Trade centre [sic] is a non-event. It's vanilla. It looks like something they would build in Canada." Banksy submitted the op-ed to the New York Times, which declined to publish it. "We couldn't agree on either the piece or the art, so we did reject it," Eileen Murphy, a spokeswoman for the Times, told Yahoo News.

If you're the type of person who makes choices according to the New York Times Travel section, you already knew Iceland was too hot to handle. The country's got some other notable qualities besides being a hip place to visit right now: it's held its position as the most egalitarian place for women to live for the fifth year in a row.
