Rihanna in Battleship Costume

by manny

Here’s a first look at Rihanna in costume for the upcoming Battleship movie. It’s hard to believe that they’re making a movie based off the board game (I’m still waiting for the Connect Four movie).

Battleship should float into theaters in 2012.

Old Spice Guy Costume

Look at this cosplayer. Now look at the Old Spice Video. Now back to the cosplayer. He may not be the real Old Spice Guy, but he looked like him at the recent Wizard World Con in Chicago last weekend.

Ha, great idea. A very simple costume, but it’s funny and it works. Well done!

Our pals at Costume Craze have been making headlines today after unleashing licensed Jersey Shore costumes upon the world.

Frankly, I’m amazed that reality TV show contestants can wind up getting their own costumes. I bet Snooki is just thrilled.

Along with Snooki costumes, you can get The Situation and DJ Pauly D costumes. Check out the full line at Costume Craze.

Wow, commerically licensed Lady Gaga costumes! I think they look pretty fun. I have no doubt that these will be HUGE this Halloween.

Costume Craze is our main sponsor, and I asked them if they had any prices yet. I was told to expect the prices to be in the $50-$60 range.

Fans are going to go nuts over these. Visit Costume Craze to view the full line of Lady Gaga costumes.

by manny

Here’s a look at Natalie Portman in costume as the ballerina Black Swan for the upcoming film with the same name. Black Swan opens the Venice International Film Festival on Sept. 1, 2010.

It’s a thriller involving the dark relationship between two competing dancers.

What a great photo! I’m not sure this is my kind of movie, but I hope it does well for Natalie Portman and director Darren Aronofsky.

Kevin Smith and Costumes

by manny

kevin-smithIn his typical salty style, celebrity Kevin Smith recently posted the above photo on Twitter. It’s the Batman-ish costume he wore in his awesome 1995 movie, Mallrats. Ah, the memories.

I’m definitely a Kevin Smith fan, and thought it would be fun to poke around the web for any more photos of Kevin Smith in costume.

I didn’t find much besides these cool Bluntman and Chronic costumes.

Now these are true comic book superheroes, LOL.

Girl Wears Lady Gaga Costume Every Day

by manny

Did you know there’s a girl who wears a Lady Gaga costume every single day? She posts photos on her blog, Everday Gaga.

It’s funny… The photos are quite professional and show her ironing her clothes, doing the dishes, taking out the trash, and just living an ordinary life dressed as Lady Gaga.

On a separate blog, she describes her costume making process. Visit The-OCD to view her in-progess photos.

Fun stuff. I wonder how long she can keep this up?

Courtney Coombs Visits Supanova 2010

by manny

courtney-coombsCourtney Coombs, our loyal and esteemed MD reader, sent me a bunch of photos of her recent visit to Supanova 2010 in Perth, Australia. You may remember Courtney from her famous The Stig costume at a Top Gear show.

Courtney brought two costumes to Supanova this year. Two of my FAVORITE costumes — Hit Girl, from Kick Ass, and Dr. Girlfriend from The Venture Bros.

Great job with the costumes, Courtney. You look terrific as Hit Girl and Dr. Girlfriend. Amazing job!

She also tooks lots of pictures of other cosplayers. Visit Courtney’s DeviantArt page to view the full gallery. Thanks for sending these in, Courtney!

It was alot of fun, Perth doesn’t have alot of conventions as it is a very small town. But this show continues to grow and grow every year. It’s good to be able to gather together with people who share your interests.

I was Hit-Girl on day one and I couldn’t walk five feet without someone asking for a photo, then I was Dr.Girlfriend on day two which was less known. I also made costumes for my brothers, Green Lantern and Naboo from the Mighty Boosh.

Smurfs Costumes are Smurfy

by manny

La la la la la la! Here’s a first look at The Smurfs movie trailer, starring Hank Azaria, Neil Patrick Harris, and Katy Perry as Smurfette. Looks like it will be good fun, but we’re going to have to wait until July, 2011.

Update: Costume Craze has just released their new licensed Smurfs costumes. LOL, that little Gargamel costume cracks me up!
