Hoff, Bieber and Seacrest-o-Lanterns: It's The Great Wilshire Pumpkin Contest

Every year, the tenants of 5700 Wilshire and 5750 Wilshire -- collectively known as "Wilshire Courtyard" -- hold a pumpkin carving smackdown, as they search for the most creative Jack-O-Lantern of the year. It's become tradition at Franklin Avenue for us to recount some of the most ambitious... and the ones with the biggest pop culture references.

The entrants, after all, come from E! Entertainment, "Family Guy" and a management firm, among others. That's why Seacrest and Chelsea Handler show up in this year's assortment. Among the best:
