Although Halloween is not until tonight, most parties and celebrations went down over the weekend.
Like every year, the main attraction in Hollywood was Heidi Klum’s Halloween Party and Kate Hudson threw one as well, while New Yorkers celebrated with Bette Midler and her Hulaween gala. Jewish celebrities showed up to all the parties and brought their costume A-Game with them:
Amar’e Stoudemire
of the New York Knicks continued his Jewish soul-searching as he dressed up as King Solomon, and even tweeted about it, saying: “King Solomon. Learn about him.” What a boss.

What was your favorite? Was it Amar’e and his little lesson in Jewish history or maybe Michael Kors and his Mexican-Zombie apocalypse? Let us know!
