Kelly Ripa couldn't decide on one Halloween costume so she wore them all

Kelly Ripa clearly faced the similar difficult question as the rest of us: With so many great, topical Halloween costume options, how do you choose just one?

So she didn't.


On Monday's Halloween episode of Live!, Ripa pulled out all the stops and wore pretty much every costume. First, she came out dressed as Beyoncé in Lemonade, clearly a popular choice for this year.

While Ripa rocked her Bey look, guest co-host Jeffrey O'Connell was dressed as Negan from The Walking Dead, before Ripa herself donned that costume - and a barbed wire bat, of course, to swing it at one of her co-hosting prospects: Neil Patrick Harris, Jimmi Simpson or O'Connell.


In a nod to the epic cliffhanger on TWD, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, who plays Negan, made a brief appearance to help Ripa choose, though the camera cut away without revealing his choice. Guess we'll find out next season.

Next up was Hamilton, and Ripa's chance to joke about her indecision when it comes to picking out a Halloween costume.

"My game is Kelly Ripa's Halloween and there's a million wigs I haven't worn," she sang, dressed as the founding father from the famous musical. "But just you wait! Just you wait!"

Other costumes Ripa tried on during the show included Mr. Robot's Elliot and Harley Quinn.

But easily one of her best looks was Republican Presidential nominee Donald Trump. For that look, Ripa wore a bad combover wig, a black suit and way, way too much bronzer.

"I brought my smoking hot wife Melania," she said in a Trump impression during a Family Feud sketch featuring the candidate and his wife. "My gorgeous daughter Ivanka - isn't she beautiful, folks? We are going to make game shows great again!"

8 things moms say that totally gaslight their kids

We often hear about boyfriends or girlfriends gaslighting their significant others by saying things and denying their feelings in a way that actually begins making them question their own sanity. But the young men and women who gaslight often become the same dads and moms who use this effective and disastrous form of psychological torture to maintain the control and power they so desperately associate with their worth.


Parents who suffer from narcissistic personality disorder, many of whom remain clueless that they even have a sense of entitlement and feed off of attention and drama as ways to feel important, are often the same folks who put their kids through gaslighting hell. At the root of it all, they'll do almost anything to be right, maintain their influence over the people in their home and to ensure they are the center of their kids' universes.


No matter how much it may not seem like it at times, kids listen when their parents speak. One of a gaslighter's most potent weapons is her words - and these eight classic phrases are often used by a parent in an attempt to gaslight her child so that she feels better about herself:


1. "You're just being sensitive": Because the narcissistic parent has a lot of trouble empathizing with her child, it's a lot easier to label her kid "sensitive" and call it a day than to actually have to address the fact that her little one may be reacting for a perfectly logical reason - that perfect reason being that she feels an emotion and has a right to it. Period.


2. "You owe me an apology": It makes no difference if the parent started an insane fight over something small and then exploded and called her child a name. At the end of the day, a parent who gaslights insists on her kid apologizing for all grievances, because she's the parent, and it's her way or the highway.


3. "That never happened, and you're making it up": Selective memory, anyone? The gaslighting parent has no problem dictating to her child, verbatim, what he said to her that was so hurtful, but if her child insists on telling his version of things, she'll simply deny it ever happened and possibly accuse him of lying.


4. "I don't want to hear this anymore": The parent who gaslights always has the honor of deciding when a conversation has ended and when her child's thoughts and feelings are no longer welcome.


5. "Are you seriously angry about that?": As if there is no rational reason her child should be mad that Mom decided at the last minute to not take her to the park as promised. A kid who constantly hears this from a parent grows up doubting his right to assert himself.


6. "You're not really going to wear that, are you?": You disapprove of your child's wardrobe and wish she would stop wearing peasant blouses or dyeing her hair orange. Instead of accepting her for her choices, you leave that little question lingering in her head to make her feel like she's crazy for wanting to wear something so obviously hideous or so unflattering on her.


7. "Stop crying": Other ways parents stifle their kids include telling them to wipe that pout off their face and to toughen up - usually not because they want them to become strong individuals, but because they can't handle their kids' emotions or the feeling that they have somehow failed them.


8. "It's not always about you": Nope, it isn't. And that's because 99 percent of the time, it's always about the parent who gaslights, leaving no room for the child and his emotions to exist.

Emily Ratajkowski is the type of judge Project Runway needs

The usual Project Runway judges are amazing, but after so many seasons, the show sometimes needs somebody fresh - and somebody who doesn't mindlessly agree with Heidi Klum. That's exactly what guest judge Emily Ratajkowski delivered during tonight's episode. After a season full of constant agreement from the judges, it was refreshing to finally see some differences in opinion.

The item in question was a chandelier-inspired dress, which was designed to look both sparkly and sophisticated. According to Nathalia JMag, beaded fabric is the epitome of luxury. Unfortunately, she was forced to put it all together in less than four hours. As a result the craftsmanship was, well, lacking. Furthermore, as Cornelius Ortiz aptly pointed out, the dress didn't really feel true to JMag's style.

Klum was not a fan of JMag's look; she claimed that it reminded her of a cheap dress that a teenager might buy at the mall. Ouch! The other judges echoed her opinion, complaining that it looked far from luxurious.


More: I hate to say it, but Tim Gunn was so wrong to trash Emily Ratajkowski's dress


Surprisingly enough, Ratajkowski was eager to defend JMag. She said that, although there were some definite issues with the dress, it caught her attention. She found most of the other designs boring, so JMag's look was a breath of fresh air.

Now, for full disclosure: I'm totally with Klum on this one. The dress just didn't have the high fashion look I've come to expect from Project Runway's best and brightest designers. It would fit in better at Charlotte Russe or Wet Seal. That being said, the dress was definitely daring, which I firmly believe should be the goal on Project Runway. Nobody tunes in to see designers play it safe - viewers expect contestants to think outside of the box and take risks.


JMag definitely did not play it safe, and for that, she should be commended. Her dress might not have stood out in a good way, but on a runway full of "safe" (read: boring) designs, it was nice to see something different.

I love when judges on any show have differing viewpoints. Yes, they are going to agree much of the time, but in an industry as subjective as fashion, I think it's valuable to hear various opinions. Kudos to Ratajkowski for speaking up!

Joe Jonas admits that losing his virginity was a total mess - literally

There's nothing better than a super-candid celebrity Reddit AMA. Up until now, Channing Tatum's 2015 "ask me anything" interview was on the top of our list, mostly because of his extremely creative answers about how he would survive the zombie apocalypse and what he'd choose to have with him on a deserted island.


As amazing as Tatum's AMA was, it's quite possible that Joe Jonas' Oct. 11 post is now our absolute fave - for a couple reasons.


For one, while we learned in Tatum's AMA that his penis is named Gilbert, Jonas got asked how his member compares to the rest of the JoBros, and his answer is priceless.

"I like to think so," Jonas answered when ask if his penis is bigger than his siblings'. "Although, it's not often that I'm in a locker room or shower with my brothers, so I couldn't really tell you. But, I'd like the Internet to believe that I'm still killin' it."


And believe it, we shall.


As much as we love that last witty quip, Jonas' anecdote about losing his virginity to Ashley Greene is even better.


"I lost my virginity to this girl named Ashley," he said. "You can probably just Google it. It's pretty easy to figure out. I dated a girl named Ashley, so just Google it to figure out which Ashley that is. It's quite the great story because I didn't have any condoms, so I went to our drummer Jack's room, who was my roommate at the time and I demolished his room looking for them. Found them underneath his underwear drawer. When he came home, he thought somebody broke into his room because his whole room was demolished because I was in dire need. Needed to happen then and now. Safety first, kids."

When you've been wearing a purity ring for all of your adolescence and have Ashley Greene waiting for you, well, it's not hard to imagine why Jonas was so frantic.
