• Natalie Portman, how do we love thee, let us count the ways? And in the meantime, we'll just ponder the, um, interesting dress you wore on the cover of the November issue of Marie Claire It's a Dior Haute Couture number, and we get it, it's fancy, but it also just doesn't make sense to us. In other news, yep, still looking gorgeous. Oh, and also, she's moving to Paris. [Marie Claire]

• Maybe consider ditching your shampoo and trying ... baking soda? It won't strip your hair of oil the way shampoo does, says blogger Genevieve of Uniquely Normal Mom, and she knows some stuff about stuff. [The Gloss]

• Kris Humphries probably has a case of the sads today, since his engagement ring for Kim Kardashian -- originally valued at upwards of $2 million -- only fetched a paltry $750,000. Cry it out, friend. [Racked]

• What do we think of this seemingly incredibly airbrushed cover of the November cover of Vogue featuring Kate Winslet? Which is especially weird, because she's so notoriously opposed to Photoshopping. [Shine]

• We are super in love with these awesome Halloween costumes to empower young women and girls. Put away the slutty cat/cop/ghost costumes and try an Young Amelia Earhart look, or a Baby Batgirl costume. The whole gallery is worth a peek, but our faves may be the trio of little Lego ladies.

• Go on and get yourself some of Kelly Clarkson's special custom-made glitter nail polish. We promise, you're allowed! Miss Kelly's team over at Deborah Lippman created the royal blue glittery shade especially for the star but Lippman's now bringing it to the masses, at $19 a bottle. Go wild! [Shine]
