Over the past few years, increasing amount of celebrities have been turning to Twitter to give themselves a voice and self-publicise.

So when it came to Halloween, what better way for the stars to show off their creativity than to upload their costumes on the micro-blogging site.

Celebrities from the A-list to the Z-list couldn't wait to show off their handiwork as they prepared to celebrate the spooky holiday.

While British celebrities were more traditional when it came to costumes and stuck to the horror theme, Americans dressed in a wide variety of ensembles.



In Hollywood, it was reunion for former Disney stars as Zac Efron and Miley Cyrus attended sisters Amanda and Alyson Michalka' Halloween party.

High School Musical heart-throb Efron wore a very tight pair of shorts as he dressed as a Reno 911 police officer.

Although it wasn't clear exactly what Cyrus had dressed as, she certainly made an impression with her make-up and low-cut top.
Country singer LeAnn Rimes dressed as a 'trailer trash' chain-smoking pregnant bride, while Glee star Lea Michele certainly went to a lot of effort as the Swan Queen from Swan Lake.
The actress looked straight out of the National Ballet in her tutu, tights and feathered headdress.

Hopefully Jennifer Lopez was flattered when reality star-turned-fashion designer Nicole Richie dressed as the multi-hyphenate Latina star.

The mother-of-two looked a dead-ringer for J.Lo in a pink velour tracksuit, aviator shades, big hoop earrings and a 'Croydon facelift' ponytail as she attended Kate Hudson's Halloween party in Los Angeles.

Modern Family star Sofia Vergara showed her fun side and steered away from a sexy ensemble in favour of an Angry Birds costume.

Unfortunately, some celebrities' costumes weren't so original.
Newly-single Kim Kardashian and dancer/actress Julianne Hough both dressed as Batman comics villain Poison Ivy.

Glee's Lea Michele on being told she was not pretty enough for TV

'So many managers told me to get a nose job': Glee's Lea Michele on being told she was not pretty enough for TV

She's the star of one of the biggest TV phenomenons of the past year. But Glee actress Lea Michele has revealed how she was long told she needed to change her looks to find success.

In a new interview with Harper's Bazaar, the 25-year-old revealed that she was told she was not pretty enough, and should consider a nose job.

She said: 'How many managers told me, "Get a nose job. You’re not pretty enough"? But I proved them wrong.'

Scroll down for a behind-the-scenes video from the shoot

She knows she is having the last laugh now. Glee has turned into an empire with bestselling albums, a Wii karaoke game and a spin-off reality show.

And this month it will be making its big screen debut in Glee: The 3D Concert Movie.

On appearing in 3D for the first time, she joked: 'My nose is going to look fabulous.'

Indeed, posing in new-season Gucci in the magazine, Lea looks nothing like the ugly duckling she describes - or her preppy, overambitious on-screen character.

But she admitted that Rachel Berry's zeal for success was not too far from her own real-life persona.

'I don’t stop. It’s my nature. People have to tell me to slow down,' she told the magazine. 'I plan on playing every role on Broadway... I want to do movies, make music. Glee is only the beginning.'

Her private life, in contrast is quiet. She told how she and boyfriend Theo Stockman shun the LA party scene in favour of quiet nights in.

'I have a small life,' she said. Aside for hanging out with her Glee castmates - 'I just want to be around them all day', she and her beau are most likely to be found cooking dinner and drinking wine on a typical evening.

She added that contrary to rumours, she's no diva.

'People have to remember this is all new for us,' she said. 'We’re all reasonably young, except for Cory [Monteith, 29], who’s old.'

'I’ve learned some lessons, but people are going to say what they want to say. I know who I am, and I’m not perfect.'

The September issue of Harper's Bazaar hits newsstands from August 16. For the full story and more photos visit harpersbazaar.com/leamichele
