Halloween

Diddy's ultimate transformation into Heath Ledger's Joker this Halloween was so well done, his antics almost baited an actor into fighting him on the street!!!

The Bad Boy Records mogul was making his rounds in Los Angeles over the weekend ... when he almost came to blows with actor Michael J. Ferguson, who plays "2Bit" in 50 Cent's "Power" series.

You can see things get tense between the two, though it's unclear what the problem is. Michael is surrounded by plenty of Diddy's entourage, some of who are wearing the same clown masks as Joker's henchman from "The Dark Knight" ... but Michael doesn't back down.

Diddy cackles like a madman and it appears Michael doesn't recognize him, but challenges him to step. Finally, Diddy breaks character ... revealing his real voice ... causing Michael to laugh and the two men to embrace as cooler heads prevail.

Diddy invited Michael to cool off further at his after-party ... as he's all about spreading "love" these days ... much like his interaction with Tyler, The Creator earlier in the evening.

Tyler called Diddy's performance "next-level" ... mirroring reactions from the likes of Tamar Braxton, who 👑 him king of Halloween, to his own son Quincy, who couldn't believe the entire fight almost happened!!!

Jonathan Owens had full control of Simone Biles' flames on Halloween ... grabbing a handful of his future wife in some steamy fireman-costumed pics!!

The Olympic gold medalist shared the hot photos on Sunday ... showing the Houston Texans safety getting a little handsy for the October holiday.

Biles was rockin' a 2-piece 'fit with flames all over it ... while Owens -- wearing fireman overalls and an FD cap -- made sure the blaze didn't get too out of control.

Biles asked her 6 million IG followers to give the sexy post a caption ... and one fan obliged, writing, "I don't think he wants to put that fire out. He just wants to tame it. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥"

Another person said, "Costumes 🔥. Baby Im on fire, come water me down. 😍" while someone else called Owens the "luckiest firefighter ever."

This is the couple's first Halloween together as future husband and wife ... Owens just proposed to the gymnast with a 3-carat oval diamond ring in February after two years of dating.

Khloe Kardashian sure seems enraged at her ex, Tristan Thompson, but she's not letting it get in the way of co-parenting, because he was front and center at their Halloween shindig.

The Kardashians held a little get-together this weekend for the kids, and the ex-couple showed up on North West's TikTok compilation ... appearing in the same shot at one point, but not interacting much.

Khloe was in a full-body catsuit, while Tristan was shielded in an Iron Man mask. Their daughter, True, was dressed up as the Disney character Owlette ... and the newest addition to their family, the baby boy, was in a Tigger costume. True held her baby bro but his face wasn't visible.

Mama bear wrote ... "Owlette and Tigger aka True and Baby Brother. (Shhhhh…. But I can't wait for Halloween to be over)."

Nothing too crazy here ... it's just Khloe and Tristan co-parenting as they've done in the past. Of course, his most recent cheating scandal -- resulting in the birth of a baby with Maralee Nichols -- has led some to believe he's iced out of the picture. That's clearly not the case.

These stars don't shy away from going all out on Halloween ... so we're taking a look at some of the best costumes of 2022's spooky season!!!

Kylie Jenner took Elvira to a whole new level -- think 'Mistress of the Dark' meets "WAP" -- while Hailey Bieber went full floral in homage to Saint Laurent Haute Couture 1999 ... and that's just a couple of killer costumes that won us over.

Jordyn Woods paid tribute to Diana Ross ... rockin' a sequined costume, fit for a Supreme!

Machine Gun Kelly and Megan Fox wore their Sunday best -- puttin' an unholy spin on a costume like only they could.

Hollywood has really stepped up their sexy costume game for the 2022 Halloween season ... Get into the freaky feeling with these Halloween hotties who have slipped into their finest (and most revealing) costumes!

Check out our gallery of this year's hottest Halloweeners that graced social media while wearing practically nothing in the outfit department ...  and see if you can guess which celeb is behind the crazy costumes!

Alyvia Alyn Lind doesn't have to close her eyes to peek at her bank account ... because she's making tons of money as a main character in the "Chucky" TV series.

The 15-year-old actress is in her second season playing Lexy Cross in the SyFy and USA Network horror show, and her minor's contract shows just how well she's being paid.

According to the contract, filed with the court and obtained by TMZ, Alyvia is earning $73,500 per episode for the second season. The contract called for her to make $70k per hour-long episode in the first season, and now she's earning more thanks to the 5% raise included in her deal.

Alyvia appeared in all 8 episodes in the first season ... meaning she made $560,000 just for her acting. She also earns some back-end royalties on any merchandise sold that uses her voice or likeness.

Canadian actress Aryana Engineer was just 8 years old when she was cast as Max Coleman -- the little girl who is hard of hearing and uses sign language to save herself from being killed -- in the horror film "The Orphan" back in 2009.

Aryana shared the big screen with Isabelle Fuhrman as the supposed gentle and sweet orphan who turns out to be extremely violent, Esther, and Vera Farmiga as the mother who resorts to drinking after losing one of her children, Kate Coleman ... and Peter Sarsgaard as the father and husband of Kate, John Coleman.

It's really the first real post-COVID Halloween party night, and celebs were out in force!!!

Kim Kardashian and Lala Anthony hit up Karrueche and Lenny S.'s soiree, along with Diddy and Kelly Rowland. Kim was Mystique from the "X-Men" flicks, covered in skin-tight blue latex.

Vas Morgan's party drew tons of celebs, including Paris Hilton, Justin and Hailey Bieber, Megan Fox, Machine Gun Kelly, Winnie Harlow, Ashley Benson and Caylee Cowan, Jared Leto, Shawn Mendes and Rebel Wilson.

Paris, who testified in Congress this year, kept her fed on by dressing as a sexy FBI agent.

And check out Megan and MGK ... she wore a bondage-type bra with a chain leash around her neck, and MGK held the leash as they mingled!

Pretty much everyone was between the lines ... not a Dahmer in sight, or anyone else controversial for that matter ... something that displeases folks like Bill Maher, who grouses Halloween censorship is anathema to the holiday.

Regina Hall's looks over the years are scary-hot!

Here is a 29-year-old version of the "Scary Movie" actress looking fresh and bright with her flower accessory at a premiere party for "Scary Movie" back in 2000 (left). This was the first of four 'Scary Movies' where she iconically played the role of Brenda Meeks.

And, 22 years later this stunning lass recently showed up and showed out at the Academy Museum Gala in Los Angeles (right). She may have left the flower adornment back in the 2000s, but she has continued to bloom!

Waaazuuuuup!

The question is ...

"Halloween" star Omar Dorsey isn't just dealing with spooky stuff when he's at work ... he says he's actually talked to ghosts during what sounds like a very freaky encounter.

We got Omar Thursday at LAX and he shared his crazy ghost experience, which he says went down while he was in New Orleans filming "Queen Sugar."

He says he was staying in a place called The Cotton Mill, and he could "feel spirits" hanging around him, every night.

He says it got to the point he felt the need to have a serious convo with them. Basically, he wanted to make sure he was in good graces with the ghosts during the 4 months he was staying there.

Omar's fully aware his ghost tale might sound kinda crazy to a lot of folks, but that's not changing his memory, and he insists it happened. He added, he's never been one of those people looking for this kinda thing ... he says given his Christian background, he's actually afraid of supernatural stuff.

Halloween will come a day early for Indianapolis Colts corner Isaiah Rodgers ... 'cause the NFL player copped some spooky mummy cleats for Sunday's game -- that light up!!!

TMZ Sports has learned ... the Indy defensive back hit up his go-to guy Rodney Jackson recently to get some spikes made for the Colts' day-before-Halloween game against the Washington Commanders.

Jackson tells us he actually came up with the idea to make Rodgers' cleats look like a corpse ... and then he decided to add on a bonus -- some creepy green lights!

The final product came out amazing ... the shoes are wrapped in fabric to make them look like a body is inside. Rodgers' jersey number is painted on the side ... and there's also a frightening green face featured on the toes.

Jackson says he used curtains for the look -- telling us he went to several fabric stores before finally finding just the right product.

Jackson said the pieces -- plus the special wiring for the illumination -- took him 12 hours to put together.

Underneath this pumpkin head is an actress who iconically plummeted off a bridge -- falling to her death -- and transcended into a ghost!

Her long list of acting achievements and freak-filled roles commenced in the '80s, continued through the '90s and she put an even bigger mark on Hollywood after chumming up with a little mouse in the early 2000s. On a spookier note, she starred in the horror/fiction series "The Exorcist."

Multiple people are feared dead after dozens of lifeless bodies required CPR in South Korea Saturday during what appears to be a mass gathering that turned into a crowd surge.

Several videos and photos are circulating on social media right now showing countless people laid out on the floor in the streets of Itaewon -- a popular neighborhood in Seoul -- and receiving chest compressions from both first responders and bystanders alike.

The images are scary ... as a lot of these folks don't seem to have any signs of consciousness -- and you can tell how frantic of a scene it is by the reaction.

Reports on the ground say upwards of 100 people were injured total -- with a significant amount purportedly having gone into cardiac arrest as well. There are signs multiple fatalities could result from this -- some photos show cops putting tarps over what seem to be dead bodies ... but there's no official count of lives beyond just 2, per NYT.

The reason all these people congregated here is because it's one of the biggest Halloween get-togethers there in Seoul -- reports say tens of thousands of people had packed into the relatively tight alleyways, which some speculate likely triggered a stampede of some sort.

One rumor floating around -- which hasn't been substantiated -- is that the crowd crush was caused by folks rushing toward a bar there in Itaewon after word of a celeb sighting ... although it's unclear who exactly it might've been, if anyone.

S. Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol has dispatched emergency services to Seoul, and the mayor is on his way back from an international trip to survey the damage and get briefed.

Lizzo dressed up as Blueface's girlfriend, Chrisean Rock, for Halloween this year -- but the getup is catching some backlash ... because some perceive CR as someone not to mock.

Lizzo trotted out a costume Friday that was, no doubt, meant to recreate Chrisean's look -- missing tooth and all -- and while it was in good fun ... there's been a lot of reactions online that aren't in favor of it and are actually condemning turning Chrisean into a Halloween gag.

The reason ... many feel like Chrisean isn't in the healthiest relationship as it pertains to Blueface. There've been much harsher terms used to describe their sitch.

Fact is, Chrisean and Blueface are in constant ups and downs -- either fighting or loving up on each other ... sometimes in explosive fashion. It's made for some great entertainment on the internet, but there's also been much concern for Chrisean these past several months.

The latest twist in their rocky relationship ... it's all being documented for a new show, "Crazy in Love," which has sparked controversy in and of itself. Some see it as exploitative.

With that in mind ... there's a good portion of bird app users who are taking offense to Lizzo's cosplay, as they feel she's making fun of someone who they see as needing help.

FWIW, Chrisean herself appears to dig it ... she's retweeted/commented on Lizzo's videos. Of course, there's also the usual fatphobic crowd clowning Lizzo over this ... but their hate is pretty much white noise at this point. Not even Lizzo is letting it get to her anymore.

Casamigos has put COVID in its rearview ... throwing the first Halloween party since the pandemic, and tons of celebs showed up to celebrate.

Let's start with the guest list, which is pretty insane ... hosts Rande Gerber and Cindy Crawford, of course, Rebel Wilson, Henry Goulding, Leslie Mann, Judd Apatow, Trevor Noah, Wiz Khalifa, Tyga, Paris Hilton, Jasmine Tookes, Chrishell Stause, G Flip, Molly Simms, Taylor Lautner, Derek Hough, David Spade, Richard Kind, Ryan Eggold, Megan Fox, MGK, Josh Duhamel, Keegan Michael-Key, Chord Overstreet, Corey Gamble, Mark Burnett, Jeff Probst, Brian Grazer, John McEnroe, Patty Smyth, Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, Rachel Zoe, Ryan Phillippe ... and that's just partial!

The bash went down Friday night in Bev Hills ... and it's a restart of what has become the best Halloween party in Hollywood.

Apparently, guests missed Bill Maher's editorial, because all the costumes were safe -- between the lines.  Among the getups -- Yellowstone, Barbie and Ken, Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm, Mister Rogers, Tinker Bell, Captain Hook, flappers ... super safe stuff.

The backdrop for the soiree was pretty amazing ... an LED-panneled tunnel with a mirrored ceiling, entering what the hosts called "the Casamigos Metaverse."

Bill Maher was on a tear Friday night over Halloween, and his message -- on the surface about "offensive" costumes -- was much more of a social commentary about the "emotional hemophiliacs" who are bent out of shape over everything under the sun.

The "Real Time" host zeroed in on media sites that are urging/warning/threatening people not to wear certain costumes. No Queen Elizabeth -- too soon, Bill asks?  No Elvis, because he once dated an underage girl.  No hobos -- a staple for years -- because they're now considered unhoused persons who are off limits. No Trump, no Putin, no Will Smith, no Johnny Depp, and definitely no vaccines.

As for Jeffrey Dahmer, forget about it, despite it being "a sensation on Netflix." Bill references Simone Biles' tweet ... "put the Jeffrey Dahmer costumes back in the closet. We ain't having it!"  Bill asks, "Who's we? Who died and made you 'The Great Pumpkin?'"

As he says, Halloween is supposed to be a festival of the sacrilegious and a celebration of the grotesque. Being outrageous that day is a release valve, he says. Other nations have similar celebrations for that very purpose ... to let people vent and let loose.
