You see the kids with the pillow cases – can they really fill it up with candy?

According to the website MyScienceProject.org, it would take approximately 1,690 pieces of candy to fill up a pillowcase.  And it would weigh about 48 pounds.

 The average kid gets 91 pieces of candy trick-or-treating . . . so your kid probably isn't going to fill it up….

 Oh…and you older kids that want to try and get out there to get some free candy -

Earlier this month, a survey came out about the right age for kids to STOP trick-or-treating.  And the consensus was . . . age 13.

--The survey also found the right age to start taking your kids trick-or-treating is age three.

 OTHER CELEBRITY GOSSIP:

Disney just bought Lucasfilm and all the rights to the "Star Wars" franchise.  This came out of nowhere.  The Walt Disney Company bought Lucasfilm yesterday for a little over four billion dollars . . . and announced plans to make a THIRD STAR WARS TRILOGY. 

George Lucas said he wouldn't be writing or directing.  But he's not leaving them to figure it out on their own.  (--He says he has treatments for three more movies, and the rights to hundreds of books and comics with other stories that Disney could draw from. 

Good luck with that!

For the second night in the row, David Letterman did his monologue without an audience.  He ran through his opening jokes quickly with Paul as the only person responding to him . . . and it still sounded weird.

Ellen Degeneres was awarded the Mark Twain Prize last week, and the TV special aired on PBS last night.  It's the biggest American prize for humor, and it's awarded by the Kennedy Center in D.C. 

Octomom Nadya Suleman has checked into rehab for help with a Xanax addiction.  She has six people to take care of her 14 kids while she's gone.  And her father says she has a drinking problem too. 

Listen to this voicemail he left for Octomom's nanny in August, which was just released yesterday.  Octomom's father Ed says he's worried because she hasn't been answering her phone, and he knows she's been drinking so she shouldn't be driving.  Listen to the full message here. 

Wow…will you guys NOW take away the kids….
