For their
Halloween special last Friday,
Regis Philbin and
Kelly Ripa dressed up in fourteen different costumes, four of which included celebrity chefs. Regis yelled at the audience as
Gordon Ramsay while Ripa's
Paula Deen munched on a butter kabob that she washed down with a glass of oil. The real
Guy Fieri showed up to cook a flank steak with the "chefs."

When planning a menu for a
Halloween dinner, choose festive dishes that are creative, but not too childish. Have an oozing, baked brie waiting for guests to arrive. Serve the brie with crisp pretzels shaped to look like fingers and toes.

On Friday, I caught a quick glimpse of
Nigella Lawson on the Today show. She featured a
Fall fruit
fondue recipe so delicious looking I had to try it! Seasonal fruit (apples and pears) served with a delectable caramel fondue make for a simple but stunning dessert.

Nigella Lawson looked gorgeous at her husband's Saatchi Gallery Launch Party last night on the King's Road, and a host of celebrities braved the weather to welcome the artworks to their new home in Chelsea. Mariella Frostrup wrapped up in an on-trend
chunky knit, while
still sexy Stephen Dorff continued his leather jacket and plaid shirt combo. Lily Allen went monochrome in fashion and beauty: BellaUK wants to know
do you love or hate her look? The singer had a successful evening, also picking up her gong for "Smile" at the
BMI Awards.

This appliance might ease your gripes about a certain
dreaded kitchen task. Do you know what it is?

Like Rachael Ray's
garbage bowl, the shape and form of these
salt and pepper shakers ($19.95) are instantly recognizable thanks to celebrity chef
Nigella Lawson. On her shows, Lawson uses a variety of whimsical and unique cooking tools, such as her
mezzaluna or
handle-less salad tongs. Naturally all of these products are available to the public at the
Food Network store.

A load of lovely ladies attended the 10th Anniversary Party of The Lavender Trust at Breast Cancer Care at Claridge's in London last night.
Emma Thompson, Nigella Lawson and Thandie Newton smiled for pictures alongside Annie Lennox, who
sang at the Lavender Trust's launch party back in 1998 and performed again at last night's anniversary party.
Lisa Snowdon looked great in her pretty dress, as did
Claudia Winkleman who went for big blue circles like
Sophie Ellis-Bextor had the night before.

When I think of soup, I usually think of heavy, time-consuming recipes. You know, the sort of thing that sits on your stove all day building layers of flavor upon itself.
So when I saw TeamSugar member
celebrity_soup's recipe in the
Kitchen Goddess group, I was immediately intrigued.

A wire whisk is one of my favorite kitchen tools because it's incredibly versatile, necessary, and makes all sorts of delicious things. Recently I've noticed a growing trend in alternative whisk styles, so I asked you to help me bookmark them in the
Yum Market on TeamSugar. You looked for whisks that are functional and made from a variety of materials.
Nigella's Down Under Ahead of Next Week's Nibbies
Lovely Nigella Lawson was Down Under yesterday, signing copies of her book Nigella Express at the Queen Victoria Building in Sydney. We'll see how popular her book is when the winners of the Galaxy British Book Awards are announced next week, as Nigella Express is up for the Play.com Popular Non-Fiction Award.
