Hollywood Buzz
JESSICA BIEL is taking JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE'S last name, but only in her personal life. Professionally, she'll still be "Jessica Biel". Meanwhile, CHRIS KIRKPATRICK says none of the 'N SYNC guys were invited to Justin's wedding, because he didn't want it to turn into a reunion.
LINDSAY LOHAN'S publicist Steve Honig has quit, but sources say it's not because of anything SHE'S done. It's because of her psycho dad, MICHAEL LOHAN.
It turns out DIDDY did get banged up in that car accident Wednesday. His rep says, quote, "Sean Combs sustained multiple injuries in yesterday’s car accident including to his neck, ribs and collarbone. "He is currently receiving treatment for these injuries from his physicians and would like to thank all of his fans for the outpouring of support that he has received since the accident."
Spike TV is developing a reality show called "10 Million Dollar Bigfoot Bounty", which is what it sounds like: People going out and trying to find "irrefutable evidence" of Bigfoot for a cash reward. The participants include: "Scientists, zoologists, seasoned trackers, and actual Bigfoot hunters."
It's over between TAYLOR SWIFT and 18-year-old CONOR KENNEDY. "Us Weekly" claims it was "a distance thing" that broke them up . . . while Radar Online says it's because Conor is too young and Taylor tried to smother him. Meanwhile, Hollywood Life says they're both wrong . . . because Taylor and Conor are just "taking a break."

If you're heading to a Halloween party this weekend and don't have a costume yet, here are five last-minute topical costumes you can throw together with one quick trip to the store. You're welcome.
#1.) HONEY BOO BOO. Get a bright pink tutu, a curly blonde wig, and a lot of makeup. You can even skip the tutu part and just grab a quick outfit at Kmart.
#2.) PSY. Even if you don't have a bright-colored suit you can pull this off. Just wear ANY suit, a black bowtie, and sunglasses. And get ready to do the "Gangnam Style" dance with the 500 other people dressed as Psy.
#3.) CLINT EASTWOOD. Wear a suit, hike up your pants, spray your hair gray, and carry a chair around. Plus that way you'll have a seat at all times.
#4.) "MAGIC MIKE". If you can pull it off . . . do it. If some of your friends can pull it off and you can't, go as a stripper who hasn't stripped yet.
#5.) ENDEAVOUR SHUTTLE TRANSPORT. Paint a refrigerator box white, strap it to your back, and walk around bumping it into things because it's way too wide to fit anywhere.
A week from Sunday we turn back the clock. And we're NOT happy about it. According to a new survey, HALF of people say they feel, quote, "depressed" turning back the clocks. And 33% say we should get rid of changing the clocks completely.
