Which Celebrity Dressed Up As a Dead Body This Weekend?
And you thought your Contagion Matt Damon costume was elaborate. This past weekend, one celebrity/sometimes actress trumped all of the ghoul-like get-ups you and your uninspired friends will wear in an entire lifetime by jumping into a skinless corpse bodysuit…and employing two extras in surgeon costumes to push her down the red carpet on an autopsy table. Can you guess who is responsible for the most elaborate Halloween costume thus far? If you guessed Heidi Klum based on her history of elaborate Halloween-wear, you are correct! Congratulations! Klum described her partially airbrushed bodysuit to reporters this weekend outside of the Las Vegas Halloween party she hosted: “It’s kind of like a dead body with the first layer of skin ripped off. It’s basically like me naked.” Below, enjoy three more photos of Klum’s costume this year and the back-up costume she prepared just in case — a Rise of the Planet of the Apes-style gorilla. How does your costume stack up against Heidi’s? [Photos: Getty Images]

The Biz: Secrets of MTV
Vintage MTV logo Before The Real World, The Hills and Snooki, the M in MTV stood for music. In their new book, I Want My MTV: The Uncensored Story of the Music Video Revolution, journalists Craig Marks and Rob Tannenbaum look back on the cable channel's halcyon days of the 1980s and early '90s, when it became a trend-setting, star-making machine for the recording industry. The book is based on interviews with 400 executives and performers who witnessed the era of excess, experimentation and hair bands. Here are a few nuggets.1. The slogan "I Want My MTV" was based on an old ad campaign for hot cereal ("I want my Maypo"). But it worked, as teenagers would call cable companies and imitate Mick Jagger's reading of the line.2. VJs were required to identify Michael Jackson as "The King of Pop" at least twice a week. To coax Jackson into appearing on an anniversary show, he was given an award in the form of a six-foot statue of the MTV Moon Man.3. VJ "Downtown" Julie Brown flashed people on the set whenever she felt the energy was lagging. Said producer Alex Colletti, "I can't tell you how many times I saw her knickers."4. Van Halen lead singer David Lee Roth was once hospitalized after smashing his television because he was so anguished that MTV reduced the airplay of one the band's videos.5. The first VMAs did not have a seven-second delay and the F-word was used early and often.Subscribe to TV Guide Magazine now!
