A Timothée Chalamet lookalike contest took place on the Sunday before Halloween in Washington Square Park in New York City – not a designated section of the park, not an area with a permit, just “a meetup”.  The event was the brainchild of YouTuber Anthony Po, who has been referred to as a “less hot Timothée Chalamet”.  Between his social media connections and the legion of followers handing out fliers, the contest drew thousands of advance RSVPs – people were actually turned away.  One of the people who made it in was Chalamet himself.  Po wanted Chalamet to compete, but he was quickly hustled away since the crowds were out of control.  Police intervened and Po was fined $500 for “having an unauthorized costume contest”.  When the cops tried to disperse the crowd, one would-be Chalamet resisted and was arrested.  Po says, “I’m talking to him and gonna be paying his legal fees and all that good stuff.”  What is the good stuff?  Oh yeah…picture Timothée Chalamet in a prison shower!

Of course, Halloween is the busiest time of the year for Elvira, Mistress of the Dark.  In one of her many media appearances, she revealed that several years ago, a celebrity unexpectedly turned up at one of her shows – with 20 guests!  Elvira was coy about the name, but said it rhymed with Pariana Mande.  Elvira’s people let them in – gratis, naturally.  Once in, Pariana asked if her guests could all go backstage and take photos with the ghoulish gal pre-show.  Not the way things are usually done, but Elvira was gracious (remind me to tell you about the time I went to her estate sale).  But when Elvira asked to take a photo with Pariana, the response was, “No, I don’t really do that.”  The nerve!  When Ariana Grande saw this story on Instagram, she responded: “I’m so disheartened to see this.  I actually don’t even remember getting the chance to meet you because I had an anxiety attack and to my memory, left before the rest of my family…but if I’m misremembering this moment, I sincerely apologize for offending you so.”  She also thanked Elvira for being so nice to her mom.  What?  Frankie wasn’t there??
