Michael Jackson Gets Masks; Gavin, Gwen Costume Kids

How Celebrities Are Celebrating Halloween

It's the one day of the year when they can be anything but their famous selves. Lindsay Lohan can channel Sarah Palin. Paris Hilton can play cop. Britney Spears can be ... a hot pink cat.

Hugh Hefner dons devil's horns for his annual bash in Hollywood.

But for some, of course, no amount of face paint or dressing-up can hide that they're bona fide celebrities. That's not going to stop Hollywood from celebrating Halloween. Below, check out how some stars plan to spend the holiday, and how they partied in years past:

Michael Jackson

The king of pop keeps a low profile these days, but he's not going to let his young ones miss out on one of the most popular kids' holidays of the year. Michael Jackson stepped out of his Los Angeles hotel Wednesday to take Prince Michael, 10, Paris, 9, and Prince Michael II, 5, costume shopping. The kids came back with masks. M.J., apparently, didn't need one.

Talking to ABC News Radio, Gavin Rossdale revealed what his two sons with wife Gwen Stefani are dressing as this Halloween (or, at least, what he thinks they're dressing as):

"Kingston, I think might be a rhino and I'm not sure, little Zuma, I think, is coming as a sandwich or something."

Sara Bareilles

Singer-songwriter of the moment Sara Bareilles told ABC News Radio she had the perfect Halloween costume planned out last year, but got sick and wasn't able to wear it:

"We were in Atlanta, Ga., and I went to this cool costume shop and I bought Tippi Hedron's costume from Alfred Hitchcock's 'The Birds.' ... So it's her green suit and it has blood all over it and it's got big black birds attached everywhere and it's got a head band and a wristband ... but I didn't get to wear it, so maybe this year."

Lifehouse Frontman Jason Wade

Lifehouse frontman Jason Wade told ABC News Radio about one Halloween where the band's costumes were inspired by one particular scene in the movie "The Karate Kid," in which the members of the evil "Cobra Kai" dojo attack Ralph Macchio's character at a Halloween party, in costume:
