This year celebrities dressed up as superheroes, trannies, caricatures of themselves (this means you, Coco) and whatever it is LaToya Jackson is supposed to be.

Here’a a recap of the best celebrity costumes:

Beyonce

Jay-Z

Rihanna and Coco

President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama

Jordin Sparks and Steph Jones

Teyana Taylor

Lance Gross and Eva Pigford

LaToya Jackson

Aubrey O’Day

Kimora Lee Simmons and Djimon Hounsou

Heidi Klum and Seal

Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon

Out with the old in with the new!  Reps at Jive Records have confirmed that Jordin Sparks will be replacing Ciara on the second leg of Britney Spears’ North American “Circus” tour. Both Ciara and Jordin are signed to Jive, but the label hasn’t given any reason for the switch.

“Britney’s show is incredible and for me to be a part of it is a great opportunity,” Sparks said in a statement. Sure is! That’s great exposure for the American Idol winner but I wonder why Ci Ci got the axe? Could this replacement have anything to do with the southern singer’s lackluster album sales?

Ciara’s rep has said that she may pop up on a few dates in the future, but nothing has been confirmed. Doesn’t look like we should be holding our our breath.

Leg two of “Circus” kicks off August 20th in Hamilton, Ontario and ends on September 27th in Las Vegas, Nevada. A press release on Spears’ official website, also stated that opener Kristinia DeBarge will continue to perform on all dates while up-and-coming acts Girlicious and One Call will appear in select cities.

I’m not sure that Ciara would’ve made sense preforming in that lineup anyway, but either way the show must go on!
