Michael Vick and Miss Teen South Carolina made the list, but not Britney or Lindsay. See which of the biggest stories from 2007 made the leap to the most popular costumes this Halloween on The Rundown, a daily briefing on everything that matters outside the office.

The costume picks were carefully selected by The Rundown editorial team, who determined that Paris Hilton in pinstripes will be popular this year because "prison is sexy." Rehab on the other hand, as Lindsay Lohan herself pointed out, is sobering. Though O.J. Simpson returned to the headlines this year, he was deemed "too retro" by the editors, who instead chose an equally notorious celebrity murder suspect: Phil Spector, whose frightful wigs are a natural fit for the Halloween season.

The consensus choice for the year's most ubiquitous theme costume for men in their 20s and 30s? Bret and Jemaine from HBO's cult hit Flight of the Conchords. "Anyone with a little facial hair can pull out their favorite vintage shirt, strap on a guitar and belt out Business Time," said Chris Kaye, Editorial Director of The Rundown.
