9. BOOK: Play On: Now, Then, and Fleetwood Mac by Mick Fleetwood
There's no secondhand news in Play On: Now, Then, and Fleetwood Mac -- it's all direct from the bandleader himself, Mick Fleetwood. His autobiography, written with Anthony Bozza, charts the rich musical history and backstage drama of the iconic group, which is touring the U.S. with its "five-star lineup" -- Fleetwood, Lindsey Buckingham, John and Christine McVie, and Stevie Nicks -- for the first time in 16 years. There's no particular gay dish in the book -- not even rumours -- but who doesn't love the Mac? And we think we can count on Fleetwood to give us the unvarnished truth, not sweet little lies. The book is available now. -- Trudy Ring

8. EVENT: West Hollywood Halloween Carnaval
Why not spend Halloween in one of Southern California's gayest 'hoods, filled with Hollywood people who can't say n" to a costume party? If you're not one of the people who hate the carnaval for tangling up traffic in a 30-mile radius, grab your witch hat and revel in the awesomeness that is WeHo Halloween. -- Michelle Garcia

7. WEB: Alice in WeHoLand
West Hollywood officials sure know how to get their residents' attention. Hoping to prevent accidents between drivers and pedestrians, they've hired drag queen Willam Belli to play Alice in Wonderland and tossed him into the streets of Boystown with a gaggle of dancers and hot guys. Set to the tune of Taylor Swift's "Shake It Off," the video warns walkers to get off their phones and pay attention to the road (sure, but what about the drivers?). The result is pretty impressive -- it was written, directed, and choreographed by former American Idol contestant Todrick Hall -- but only time will tell if it's effective. Watch the festive PSA below. -- Neal Broverman

5. BLU-RAY: Maleficent
Thousands of drag queens around the world no doubt owe their Halloween costume inspiration to Angelina Jolie in Disney's live-action retelling of the animated classic Sleeping Beauty, and now every frame of the reimagined fairy tale can be studied in detail with the release of Maleficent on Blu-ray and Digital HD (available Tuesday.) Perfectly cast in the title role, Angelina Jolie sends chills and thrills with a red-lipped, white-toothed grin, as she curses Princess Aurora (Elle Fanning) and wages fiery war against her father King Stefan in this reimagined fairy tale. Plus there's handsome Brenton Thwaites as Prince Phillip. The Blu-ray comes packed with spellbinding bonus features, including several deleted scenes as well as the featurettes "Buliding an Epic Battle" and "Classic Couture," which reveals the meticulous detail that went into creating Maleficent's fabulous head wraps. -- Jase Peeples

4. BOOK: The World of Postsecret by Frank Warren
We've all got secrets. It's just that some people make cool postcards about their secrets, send them to a guy named Frank in Maryland, and then he publishes a select few on one of the most popular blogs in the world. Frank Warren's latest anthology of postcards is his first Postsecret book in five years, but it's definitely worth the wait. For the regular Postsecret reader, don't worry about just buying a book full of postcards you've seen already. There are hundreds of new ones, ranging from as dark as "My photography has been lacking since I've started using hard drugs" to some that might make you laugh like "Sorry I peed on your car door handle." More information here. -- Michelle Garcia
