Now that Halloween Monday and the weekend of parties has passed, it's time to talk about all the costumes you saw! In my neck of the woods, I saw several different Black Swan costumes, which was also a hot one in Hollywood, as evidenced by Lea Michele's white swan version here.

Besides Natalie Portman's split personality from the Oscar-winning flick, there also seemed to be lots of Kate Middletons and Toddlers & Tiaras tributes, which are pretty topical. There were also plenty of classic pop culture costumes, like Raoul Duke from Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and Mia Wallace from Pulp Fiction. But I want to hear more from you guys - what pop culture costumes did you see (or wear) this year?

Johnny Depp Swings By David Letterman's Studio

Johnny Depp stopped by David Letterman's studios in NYC today to tape an interview that airs Thursday evening. Johnny has been in the Big Apple this week promoting his movie The Rum Diary and joined his costar Amber Heard to debut the film in the city last night. Johnny has also made time to indulge his musical side in between his press stops for the movie. Last weekend, Johnny took the stage with ZZ Top in Austin, TX, to play guitar with the band! The Rum Diary is getting mediocre reviews so far, but Johnny has said the movie was a personal passion for him, as he's playing a version of his longtime friend Hunter S. Thompson in the film. It's the second time he's portraying the writer on the big screen, having also taken on the role in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, which hit theaters more than a decade ago.

Johnny Depp Takes The Rum Diary on the Road

Johnny Depp wore in his signature shades for the NYC premiere of The Rum Diary last at the Museum of Modern Art. The Big Apple debut of the film was its second premiere this month. Just a couple of weeks ago, Johnny was in LA with his castmates Amber Heard and Aaron Eckhart to unveil the off-kilter comedy on the West Coast. Amber made a quick trip east for the affair, having stepped out Monday at the Hollywood Film Awards in Beverly Hills, where she accepted a Hollywood Spotlight Award. Johnny also had his close friend - and the man who inspired Captain Jack Sparrow - Keith Richards by his side at the event, and New Yorkers like actress Zoe Kravitz also turned up for the screening. The Rum Diary gives Johnny the opportunity to revisit his role as a thinly veiled Hunter S. Thompson from Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, and the actor is reportedly planning to play yet another literary figure, Dr. Seuss, in an upcoming biopic.

Johnny Depp Drinks Up in Puerto Rico in The Rum Diary Trailer

Johnny Depp took on the work of Hunter S. Thompson in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, and he's doing it a second time for The Rum Diary. Though this film is far less trippy than the former, Depp's characters do share a common characteristic: adventures fueled by mind-altering substances. This time it's alcohol, as Depp plays a journalist named Paul Kemp who moves to Puerto Rico in the 1950s for a change of scenery. There, he meets some wacky locals (including Richard Jenkins, Aaron Eckhart, and Giovanni Ribisi), becomes enchanted with an American girl (Amber Heard), and develops a taste for - you guessed it - rum.

There's a lot of beauty in this trailer: a scenic backdrop, gorgeous costumes, and, of course, the easy-on-the-eyes Depp. Though at times the preview gets a bit silly (there's one double entendre that feels plucked right from a Judd Apatow movie), it could be a light, fun ride - kind of like watching Depp let loose on vacation in a tropical paradise.
