A group of war heroes on an honor flight from Wisconsin to Washington, D.C. got quite the surprise when they landed in our nation's capital ahead of Veterans Day ... because former president Barack Obama was waiting for them.

Obama greeted the plane when it touched down and spent time with the vets, who served in the Korean and Vietnam Wars.

The former prez shared video of the sweet interactions on social media, saying ... "Ahead of Veterans Day, I was honored to welcome a flight of veterans and their families as they arrived in DC."

We know the flashiest people in bands are usually center stage, but it's always the drummers who provide the real support ... and since it's National Drummer Day, we've got a gallery of some of the most talented percussionists we could think of.

From rock gods like Dave Grohl and Neil Peart, to jazz cats like Tony Williams and Buddy Rich, check out our appreciation for the musicians who really get us moving and grooving!

Veterans Day's finally here, and we figured it'd be a good time to look back at the stars who've served over the years ... and there's more than just a few.

Sure, celebs like Adam Driver, Clint Eastwood, and Bea Arthur -- yes, you read that right -- might be best known for their work on big screens and small, but they took orders from drill sergeants before dealing with directors ... which was probably good practice for navigating the tough world of showbiz.

Andrew Zimmern is being a Scrooge about Christmas, but it's not what you think ... he's just a big fan of Thanksgiving, and thinks the holiday is getting the short end of the wishbone.

We got the celebrity chef in New York City and our photog asked him about all the Christmas advertisements and decorations going up in the first week of November.

Andrew says it's part of a bigger problem in America ... holidays don't get their due. He says Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas all deserve their own moment, and we shouldn't start preparing for one until the other is over.

Lily Allen's getting clever with the marketing for her new album ... using a beloved childhood character to push a song allegedly roasting her estranged husband.

The singer-songwriter stepped out on Halloween night with some pals in Los Angeles ... dressing as Madeline -- the intrepid French heroine from a series of children's books.

Allen looks just like her in her baby blue jacket, bright red wig and straw hat ... and she stopped to pose for the cameras before heading into the Vas J. Morgan Halloween party.

Meek Mill had a scary end to his Halloween night -- he was detained by New York City Police Department officers ... and he says it was for no reason!

Here's the deal ... video is circulating online that shows the rapper standing with his arms behind his back, seemingly being questioned by police as supporters rally behind him early Saturday morning.

A spokesperson for the NYPD tells us police responded to reports of a male with a firearm at just after 4 AM this morning ... which led to officers stopping three men in a vehicle matching the description and license plate they received.

Donald Trump's celebrating the Roaring '20s ... and, a whole lotta people online are calling him tone deaf as many in poverty are staring down a Great Depression.

POTUS hosted a "Great Gatsby"-themed party at his exclusive Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach for Halloween ... with ladies dressed as flappers and fellas throwing on their most boisterous suits and fedoras.

The bash was reportedly titled "A Little Party Never Killed Nobody" ... which is the name of a 2013 song by Fergie, GoonRock and Q-Tip made for the Leonardo DiCaprio and Carey Mulligan 'Gatsby' film.

Justin and Hailey Bieber are proving their love is as 'incredible' as ever ... dressing up as the fam from "The Incredibles!"

The Bieber bunch was decked out in head-to-toe gear from the animated Disney movie for their Halloween costume this year, with with Hailey as Elastigirl, Justin as Mr. Incredible and their 1-year-old son Jack as Jack-Jack.

Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker are back with another spot-on couples costume for Halloween ... dressing up as Jack and Sally from "The Nightmare Before Christmas!"

The pair absolutely crushed their looks, with Kourt even rocking a wig to replicate Sally's ghoulish glow, and the Blink-182 drummer painting his entire head white to bring his costume to life.

The pair posted an on-theme video on Instagram to celebrate -- cruising down the street in a vintage black Chevy Impala convertible with "This is Halloween" playing from the 1993 film's soundtrack. It's not clear where they're heading ... perhaps to Halloween Town to visit some monster pals!

Heidi Klum held true to her promise by rocking an "ugly" but recognizable Halloween costume -- she dressed up as the Greek mythological figure Medusa for her annual Halloween party!

We got a peek at her walking onto her red carpet and into her epic celebration at Hard Rock Hotel New York City Friday night, and her costume was certainly a head-turner.

Just check it out -- she was covered in green scales that tapered into a long rattlesnake’s tail behind her, and she's even got animatronic snakes as hair! Not to mention the layers of green makeup and prosthetics that certainly took hours to perfect.

The NFL isn't messing around this Halloween season ... with teams hosting extravagant parties left and right -- and the Detroit Lions and Philadelphia Eagles were no exception.

Lions star Amon-Ra St. Brown gave his followers a look at a bunch of outfits his teammates rocked for their bash Tuesday night ... and they ranged from basic 'fits to some pretty creative ones.

Jahmyr Gibbs dressed up as one half of Team Extreme -- Jeff Hardy, who actually just lost his NXT Tag Team Titles with his brother Matt last weekend. Nevertheless, he proudly got into character.
