Insta-Buzz: What The Stars Were Up To This Week

The stars spent the last week of October in the best way, with birthdays, new beginnings, and of course, everyone's favourite occasion to play dress up, Halloween.

Hilariously, one celeb found himself in an awkward situation when he checked out CNN to catch up on the news, only to find that his photo was used for a dating ad. Can you guess who?

Meet The Addams, we mean, Chou Family

We could almost hear The Addams Family theme song playing as we looked at this snap. Jay Chou and Hannah Quinlivan were Gomez and Morticia, while their kids Hathaway and Romeo looked adorable as Wednesday and Pugsley.
They even had friends dress up as Uncle Fester and Lurch. But where's Grandmama and Cousin Itt?

Seems like the Journey to the West theme is really popular these days with families. Even then, we couldn't get enough of Xiao Pian Pian as Tang Sanzang, Momo as Sun Wukong, Kewei as Sha Wujing and Alfred as Zhu Bajie.

On the other end of the Halloween spectrum...

YES 933 jocks Zhong Kunhua and Nico Weibin used just two items — a white sheet and a pair of shades — to get spooky this Halloween. While their getups weren't the most elaborate, they sure got plenty of curious stares. Very value for money.

Wang Leehom became a "mature single" while reading the news

"I'm a little confused by your commercials lately @cnn," Leehom wrote. Turns out, the singer's photo was used by a very sketchy looking ad for "Mature singles" looking for love.
For the record, Leehom is very much married and has three kids with his wife.

Pierre Png turned 47

How is it that Pierre looks this good at 47?
Perhaps it has something to do with the hearty bowl of mee sua his wife, Andrea de Cruz, makes him every year on his birthday. Guess it's the simple pleasures that matter most.

Hayley Woo showed off the results of her eight-year diet

"It's great to be slim! I can buy the smallest size when I'm out shopping for clothes without trying it on, and know that I'll be able to fit," Hayley gushed. "I was 44kg before I made my showbiz debut, and now I'm finally back to the 46~47kg range after eight years. Some people think that I'm too skinny, but a lot of people don't realise that there's a certain standard for your appearance and weight that you have to meet."
Admitting that she's tried "all sorts of unhealthy methods to lose weight", Hayley shared that she has finally found one that works for her. She then wrapped up her post with a word of advice for her followers: listening to their bodies and staying healthy is of utmost importance.
Good on you, Hayley!
