Why isn’t there video of this?  C’mon people with cellphone cameras and Flip Video Recorders?  When P. Diddy goes bowling does he drink PBRs like everyone else in Wisconsin or does he drink Crystal?

How about those speaches last night though?  Shit, Hillary was good and Mark Warner was okay as the keynote and Brian Schweitzer brought a certain yee-haw rowdiness to the Democratic party (god he sounds exactly like a happy Lewis Black).  Though the best zingers of the night belonged to Sen. Bob Casey Jr. (D-PA) and Ohio Governor Ted Strickland.

Casey, and I’m paraphrasing here, said “McCain calls himself a maverick but he’s voted with President Bush over 95% of the time.  That’s not a maverick, that’s a sidekick.”

And Strickland, who seemed nervous and not a polished speaker, stumbled through his speech only to deliver this bon mot: “It was said the first President Bush was born on third base and he thought hit a triple.  Well after the prosperity of the Clinton administration, the second President Bush started his presidency on third base and ended up stealing second.”

What’s funny is you can tell which Democrat Governors come from predominantly Republican states in the way they speak.  Strickland spoke using baseball metaphors, which while seeming hokey certainly resonated not only with me, a baseball nutso, but I’m also guessing a large portion of people.  Yeah Obama’s a great orator, but he comes off as unrelatable (don’t shoot me!) at times.  You would never hear him use a good zinger to deliver a point or baseball metaphors while speaking.

I’m curious what Bill Clinton and Joe Biden do tonight, but from the speeches last night it’s clear there are three themes that are getting lobbed to Obama for the alley oop: we can’t afford four more years of the same policies, challenging the American people to rise up and meet the problems of the country and McCain is not a maverick.

But seriously, Pete Wentz and P. Diddy are bowling partners.  What do you think their bowling team name is?

Ashley Olsen went as a (zombie?) Marie Antoinette to Kate Hudson’s Halloween party this past weekend. This is 1/2 of Michelle Tanner’s brilliance posing with Marc Jacobs‘ boyf Jason Preston (not sure if the Mariah tattoo was part of the costume, or just a mistake tattoo from the “Dreamlover” days?)

Britney Spears went into Winston’s last night as a pirate wench (left) but emerged wearing what OK! Mag discovered was the bartender’s dress. A source said, “While waiting for a (bathroom) stall to open up, Britney turned to the bartender, who was wearing a low-cut black dress, and said, ‘You have nice tits! Mine are all saggy’!” What a way to open up a clothes swap.

Fergie went as me circa 1994 (I got TWO crimpers that year)…jk, actually I don’t even know if this is her Halloween costume, it’s probably just her taking serious fashion risks.

Rumer Willis walked the red carpet as a…fairy nymph with bad extensions? Rumer recently talked to PEOPLE mag about what it means to be a celeb, since according to her, and PEOPLE, she is one: “But at its heart, she says of celebrity, “Being famous isn’t going to parties … it’s about being able to use the power that we all have to kind of give back.”

Pete Wentz was his broken foot for Halloween, bc that’s all he keeps talking about on his website Friends and Enemies: “for anyone who was at the voodoo fest in new orleans- you got to see me jump around. ended up breaking the bone that connects my shin to my foot. no shows will be cancelled. i am currently trying to get a “rocker” boot so i can have a walking cast. currently my foot is the size of a small car. if you see me at a show come sign my cast.” (All-lower case writing not mine, too emo and uncaring for me).

Now, for a final roundup of those in attendance at Kate Hudson’s Halloween party: you can see Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal arrived together, Dax Sheppard showed up (he and Kate had a friendly breakup or are they back together?), and Kate looks to be having a gay old time as hostess.

And, as an addendum, I’ll post more celeb Halloween get-ups tomorrow since today isn’t, um, actually Halloween.

Here’s Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz at Moveline’s Hollywood Life Style Awards last night. Life Style? Now is that life/style or lifestyle? Because if it’s the latter, their shared lifestyle of being a nose-jobbed lipsyncher and eyeliner-wearing down-the-pants-digital-pic-taker is not something that should be awarded.
