Halloween isn’t just about candy or getting dressed up in cool costumes. It’s about family!

Just ask Kourtney Kardashian!

Recently, the KUWTK star wrote a blog entry on her website titled “Why I LOVE Halloween” where she reveals what the holiday means to her large brood!

The pint-sized diva wrote:

“Halloween was always a big deal growing up and I like to keep the festive tradition going with my kids. We always decorate the house with tons of spooky cobwebs, skeletons and pumpkins. We also love getting dressed up together—all wearing the same theme. Last year we went as superheros! Dressing up as a family is a great way to bond and spend time doing something creative together.”

Still don’t have a costume?? Kourt has some ideas!

“Some good ideas are going as characters from Power Rangers, The Wizard Of Oz, The Avengers or Batman.”

As we reported, the mother-of-three already threw an extravagant Halloween party at her house in Calabasas!

The kooky Kardashians always celebrate in style!

Bill Murray sang “Take Me Out To The Ball Game” at Wrigley Field on Friday for Game Three of the World Series with the Chicago Cubs. Check out the video below!

As Gossip Cop has reported, the Cubs are facing the Cleveland Indians’ in both teams’ first World Series appearance in decades. While the Chicago White Sox memorably won the World Series in 2005, their hometown rival the Cubs last won the World Series in 1908. That was more than a century ago.

And perhaps no celebrity is as excited about the Cubs’ comeback than Murray. The actor was born in Evanston, Illinois, like a number of other stars, and was raised in Wilmette, both northern suburbs of Chicago. Murray has made no secret of his Cubs fandom, and even took his love to the White House last week.

As Gossip Cop reported, Murray crashed the Briefing Room and amusingly held a press conference while decked out in Cubs garb. At the time, the team was still facing the Los Angeles Dodgers in the NLCS, prompting Murray to tout, “At home, our crowd, the weather. You get a little bit of autumn in Chicago. You don’t get that in Los Angeles. Trees just die, you know what I’m saying. In Illinois, they flourish.”

Chicago is definitely flourishing tonight, with thousands in “Wrigleyville” for the historic game. And those who scored tickets got to see first-hand as Murray stepped into the press box to lead the 7th inning stretch. Murray has actually sung “Take Me Out To The Ball Game” there a few times before, but this is pretty special circumstances.

In fact, earlier Friday, Murray’s golfing company shared on Facebook a childhood photo of Murray in Cubs gear, saying, “Before Game 3 gets underway; a little something for the fans — a never before shared pic of #BillMurray. All this six-year old wanted was a @Cubs’ jacket, a hat and #WorldSeries title. Got the first two. Let’s make that third wish come true, #Chicago. #ThisIsTheYear #GoCubsGo #FlyTheW.”

While it remains to be seen if Murray will finally get his wish, Gossip Cop will have full video shortly of his Game 3 appearance. Check back soon!

Don’t judge a girl by her prettiness!

That’s what we learned when Maggie Lindemann stopped by the studio to bless us with an acoustic performance of her song Pretty Girl!

The San Antonio-based singer knows she might look like your classic teenage heartbreaker at first glance, but that doesn’t mean she can’t swear, drink, or smoke like one of the guys.

Of course, the songstress is also subjected to the array of complex emotions that is the female psyche — including days where she can be a real… well, we’ll just let Mags tell you herself!

Ch-ch-check out the finger-snapping performance (above) — and check out Maggie’s YouTube, Twitter, and Instagram if you want to hear more!

We are so ready for this!

On Thursday, NBC chairman Bob Greenblatt revealed which musical the network would be tackling in 2017 for their annual holiday live event. And it appears as though Greenblatt and crew have decided to dust off an old Broadway classic as they’ve chosen Bye Bye Birdie as their next telecasted production!

Yas, yas, YASSSS! Right when we didn’t think this news could get any better, Bob added that Jennifer Lopez is heading the cast list as she’s been tapped to play the character Rose “Rosie” Alvarez. In case you forgot, this particular role was originated by Chita Rivera on Broadway.

And if anyone has any doubts about NBC casting J.Lo, the industry executive defended:

“To have a superstar like Jennifer Lopez starring in this classic show, which every high school in America has done, will ensure that our holiday musicals continue to be must-see events for the whole family. It was her idea to take on this classic singing and dancing role made famous by the legendary Chita Rivera, and we are so happy to oblige! This show has delighted audiences for generations with classic songs that include Put on a Happy Face and A Lot of Livin’ to Do, and this will be an extravagant production built around this big star.”

Hear! Hear! Miz Lopez seems to be equally excited about the role as she added in a statement:

“Broadway musicals and films fueled my childhood and Bye Bye Birdie was one of my favorites. I’m proud to be a part of the NBC family with Shades of Blue and I thought it would be a blast to take on one of their big live musicals.”

Greenblatt also confirmed during a Paley Center panel interview that Harvey Fierstein, who’s currently starring in Hairspray! and adapted the book for the TV broadcast, will re-work Michael Stewart‘s original book of the hit musical for NBC. Smart move!

Nonetheless, we’re going to have to wait patiently for Bye Bye Birdie to hit the small screen as Hairspray! is next on deck!

Be sure to tune into NBC on December 7 at 8 p.m. EST to catch the live production while we wait for Bridie!

Niall Horan and James Corden did a sexy music video called “Candy” about Halloween trick-or-treating on Thursday’s “Late Late Show.” Watch the video below!

In the bit, Corden said that Halloween was as much about candy as it is about “action.” In the music video, the late-night show host was joined by Horan as they sang about candy, which they sexualized. The One Direction singer sang, for example, “When you break me off a Kit Kat, I’m going to make your Tootsie Pop.” For the video, Horan dressed in a number of costumes, including as a pea in a pod, Dracula, a ghost, a cow, and a pirate.

As Gossip Cop reported, Horan also appeared with Corden on the “Late Late Show” on Wednesday. During the episode, the Irish singer joined the host and fellow guests Isla Fisher and Ewan McGregor for an embarrassing, funny, and gross game of “Spill Your Guts Or Fill Your Guts.” The group had to answer an awkward personal question, or eat something awful to get out of it.

For Horan’s case, he refused to divulge which One Direction member he likes the least, forcing him to instead drink a salmon smoothie. Later, however, when asked to choose whether he rather spend his last night on earth with Selena Gomez or Ellie Goulding, he picked the latter. Horan’s appearance on the show also included a performance of his debut solo song, “This Town.”

Earlier Thursday, Corden tweeted, “So proud of @NiallOfficial this performance is beautiful!” Ben Winston, executive producer of the “Late Late Show” and a close friend of Horan’s, similarly posted, “This is a beautiful performance on the show last night from @NiallOfficial.”

Corden also went on to tease, “On tonight’s show @NiallOfficial and I went trick or treating last night and it got sexy!” Check out video below for “Candy” with Horan and Corden on the “Late Late Show”!

As you know, Kim Kardashian West is slowly but surely making her way out of hiding since being robbed of millions of dollars in jewelry earlier this month.

Although the 36-year-old celebrated her birthday privately over the weekend, she did make several public appearances this week: once getting froyo with Jonathan Cheban on Monday, followed by two trips to Kanye West‘s performances at The Forum both Tuesday and Wednesday nights.

Making moves!

As Kimmy starts to come to terms with the Paris robbery, a source tells Us Weekly the reality star is ready to get back to life as normal — starting with Halloween this weekend:

“Kim is starting to feel a little bit better and like she wants to get out and really live again. She is excited about Halloween with her kids. She is planning to go trick-or-treating with Kourtney and the cousins.”

Adding:

“She is still laying low but has been filming a little bit. Things are going to be different for her going forward, but she is taking small steps and wanting to get her life back on track.”

We’re sure you’ve noticed holes in your social media timelines since the TV queen’s departure from public life, but the insider insists the break was much-needed:

“Taking the time off has been really good for her. She doesn’t really want to travel yet but she does want to move past this. Time is really healing her wounds. Kim spent almost a month completely indoors and for someone who goes from having a busy life to canceling everything, that’s a huge change and she does want to resume her life. It will be slow steps. The eventual goal is to get back to life as normal.”

Fair enough.

We’re patiently awaiting your return, KKW!

James Otis, the man who destroyed Donald Trump’s Hollywood Walk of Fame star, was arrested for felony vandalism on Thursday. The Los Angeles Police Department took the culprit into custody from his West Hollywood home.

As Gossip Cop reported, Otis destroyed Trump’s Walk of Fame star with a hammer and pickaxe on Hollywood Blvd. Wednesday afternoon while dressed as a city construction worker. The man proudly took credit for demolishing the Republican presidential nominee’s plaque and was even planning to hold a press conference to address the incident. Otis admitted he would turn himself in immediately following his proposed event, but authorities arrested him before he got the chance.

Otis had also previously revealed he initially planned to remove the star, auction it off and donate the proceeds to the women accusing Trump of sexual abuse. However, dislodging the star proved more difficult than anticipated, and he instead wound up scratching off Trump’s name and knocking out the gold emblem at its center.

Shortly after the incident on Wednesday, the president and CEO of the Hollywood Chamber Of Commerce, Leron Gubler, released a statement insisting Trump’s star “will be repaired immediately.” He further noted that the organization is “working with the police in regards to this felony and intends to prosecute to the full extent of the law,” and would do so “for any Walk Of Fame star that has been vandalized.”

It’s never too late to find love!

Niall Horan reunited with longtime friend James Corden on Wednesday’s “Late Late Show.” Check out the video below!

Horan has been pals with Corden and “Late Late Show” producer Ben Winston for years. As Gossip Cop reported back in 2013, the One Direction member appeared on the British game show “A League Of Their Own,” where he pulled down his pants to hilariously reveal a (fake) tattoo of Corden’s face on his butt. And just last year, when 1D stopped by the “Late Late Show,” Horan amusingly went into panic mode when they played “Tattoo Roulette.”

Horan has also joined Corden for “Carpool Karaoke” with One Direction, and before that, he and the group did an amusing dodgeball sketch with the host. But this now marked the Irish singer’s first time stopping by the “Late Late Show” on his own. During the appearance, Horan performed “This Town,” his first single as a solo artist, and played the game “Spill Your Guts Or Fill Your Guts” with fellow guests Isla Fisher and Ewan McGregor. The premise was they had to eat something disgusting or answer an embarrassing question. Horan refused to answer who his least favorite member of One Direction was, and had to drink a salmon smoothie. Meanwhile, Corden didn’t respond to who he turned down for “Carpool Karaoke” and had to eat a scorpion.

Fisher avoided eating a bull penis by saying if her husband Sacha Baron Cohen had played a character while they were in bed. McGregor answered whether he’s ever made in his pants, and Horan said he’d choose Ellie Goulding over Selena Gomez with whom to spend the last night on Earth. But Corden chose to eat a beef tongue rather than to say who he preferred more, Jimmy Kimmel over Jimmy Fallon.

As Gossip Cop has reported, “This Town” came out late last month as a surprise release. Horan is the first One Direction member to officially launch an independent project, and he’s been making the rounds to support it. Earlier on Wednesday, the star sang the track on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show,” where Horan also played “Who’s You Rather.” Check out the full video of Horan performing “This Town” on the “Late Late Show” and playing the game “Spill Your Guts or Fill Your Guts.”

Lena Headey just received some upsetting news.

As we previously reported, Lena moved her 6-year-old son Wiley to England over the summer. The relocation made sense for Headey as it’s where she spends a large chunk of time filming Game of Thrones and it also happens to be where she’s from.

Unfortunately for the actress, her ex-husband Peter Loughran took her to court on the grounds that the move allegedly violated their 2013 custody agreement. Peter, who resides in the United States, argued that his son should be sent home immediately.

On the other side of this coin, L.H. claims Loughran signed off on the move. Lena also alleges the pair said they’d share custody of the boy.

Now TMZ is reporting that a judge ordered Headey to return Wiley after she wraps filming. Until then, the beauty must pay for Peter to visit the boy ten times a month.

Well, at least the case is resolved. We guess both parties will have to make peace with the judge’s ruling.

So, do YOU think the right decision was made here?
