Halloween is right around the corner, which means that, for one day only, we get to judge people based solely on their appearance (as opposed to the other 364, when it's what's inside that counts). And you know how we mark the occasion: With sexy costumes, of course!

We've already seen plenty of Sexy Nurses, Sexy Cats and Sexy Palins. But this year, the "Sexy" craze has led to the creation of the most ridiculous costumes in Halloween history. (MTV News already saw the Sexy Miley costumes coming.)

But candy bars? Inanimate objects? Mythological creatures? They've all been given provocative makeovers in 2013, for reasons apparent only to their manufacturers (and the American Psychiatric Association, who will be profiting from the resulting dysfunctions for decades to come). If you're still in the market for some last-minute nightmare fuel, well, you're in luck: here's our list of Halloween's most needlessly sexy costumes.

A Sexy Shower: Hygiene has never been so hot. Sure, folks will probably stare at your fixtures, but that's the point, isn't it? As a bonus, the "vinyl skirt" could double as an actual shower curtain ... or, at the very least, protect you from the myriad of fluids (tears, etc.) sure to be spilled throughout the night.

Sexy Blue Gnomes: Whatever you do, don't call them "Sexy Smurfs."

Sexy Pizza Slices: The perfect costume for the couple on the go, or the couple with Type 2 Diabetes, it comes complete with "pepperoni, olive, ...

This week on "The Walking Dead," the infection that's plagued the prison has spread, killing off nameless extras left and right. In fact, things got so bad that even some of the regulars have come down with this virulent strain of the Spanish flu! Plus, thousands and thousands of Walkers attacked, and Tyreese went nuts. Here are all the biggest moments from the "Isolation" episode. (Spoilers ahead.)

Tyreese Vs. Rick
Tyreese, anguished and enraged that his girlfriend Karen (and David! Don't forget about David!) was killed and burned to a crisp, demands Rick find her murderer. Rick tries to calm him down. Tyreese proceeds to sucker-punch Rick, only to get sucker-punched by Rick, who then beats the sh-- out of him. They patch things up (sort of) by the end of the episode, but even in a show that doesn't shy away from violence, that fight was brutal.

Glenn Gets Sick
First, Glenn gets the sweats. Then Maggie discovers him hunched over a sink in the prison, and he tells Maggie, "I have it." Cut to commercial. The story line wasn't just there to test Maggie and Glenn's resolve though; it also showed how far Maggie's dad Hershel and Glenn have come. Hopefully this plot twist won't kill off the fan favorite, but it seems like no one is safe....

Mossy The Walker
This is a little moment, but Carl and Hershel are out in the woods picking herbs to soothe the infected — which is, of course, something a veterinarian would know how to do since dogs love drinking tea — and discover a ...

The influence of late punk progenitor Lou Reed stretched to the farthest reaches of pop culture. From rock legends Metallica and Mötley Crüe, to "Glee" star Darren Criss, from the movies to the theater, tributes poured in on Sunday (October 27) when news broke that the former Velvet Underground leader and solo star had passed
 at age 71.

Fellow punk legend Iggy Pop called the loss of Reed "devastating news," while Crüe's Nikki Sixx wrote simply, "Thank you for your beautiful/dark lyrics/music and stance on life. You inspired me from my teenage years right up till today."

Reed, who pioneered the stark combination of brutally honest/combative lyrics and challenging music, was an obvious inspiration on the knotty music of Radiohead, whose guitarist, Johnny Greenwood quoted on of the VU's most poignant lyrics, a couplet from the "I'll Be Your Mirror," off the band's vital 1967 debut, The Velvet Underground & Nico. "When you think the night has seen your mind," he wrote. "That inside your twisted and unkind, let me stand to show that you are blind #RIPLouReed."

Criss, who plays openly gay student Blaine Anderson on "Glee," tweeted his grief, saying, "Very sad to hear the news of Lou Reed's passing. Another rocknroll legend has left us mere mortals behind. Thanks for the inspiration, Lou."

Though Sunday was her day to celebrate, rock progeny Kelly Osbourne said it was, "Hard to celebrate your birthday when Lou Reed sadly passes! What an awfully sad day!" Who far did Reed's influence reach stretch? ...

"The Walking Dead" fired things up at the end of last week's episode — quite literally, in fact. In the concluding moments of "Infected," Tyreese (Chad Coleman) discovered the charred remains of his girlfriend, Karen (Melissa Ponzio), who only hours earlier was diagnosed with a mysterious new illness that's lurking around the prison.

Given that cliff-hanger, I'm not going too far out on a limb with my first bold prediction for tonight's episode, called "Isolation": Tyreese is going to be totally cool with what happened to Karen. Except the opposite of that. The complete and absolute opposite of that. When we spoke with Coleman about how Karen's death affects Tyreese going forward, the actor described it as "the straw that breaks the camel's back." In other words, get ready for a very violent, very angry Tyreese tonight. It is officially hammer time.

The question is, who gets the hammer? More specifically, who was it that killed Karen? I expect that we will get that answer before "Isolation" ends, and that the answer is a fairly obvious one: Bob Stookey killed Karen. There's something wrong with the prison-group newcomer, starting with the shifty way he eyed all that alcohol in the season premiere. Maybe it's just his past dealings with Baltimore crime organizations getting in the way, but I still can't shake the feeling that there's something wrong with Bob.

But let's take a break from assigning blame. Let's talk about who's going to get infected next. I hate to say it, but I'm standing by my prediction ...

Chris Brown was arrested in Washington, D.C., early Sunday morning (October 27) after allegedly assaulting a man outside a hotel. According to TMZ, Brown was arrested for felony assault following an incident in which he got into an altercation with an unnamed man outside the W Hotel on K Street, with police telling the site that Brown punched the man once in the face.

Sources said the Brown and the victim did not know each other and that Brown's bodyguard, Christopher Hollosy, was also arrested in the incident, which took place around 4:25 a.m. Law enforcement sources told TMZ that Brown did not appear to be under the influence at the time of his arrest and was still behind bars as of press time. Brown is still on probation in connection with his 2009 guilty plea to felony domestic violence assault in connection with his attack on ex-girlfriend Rihanna and at press time it was unclear how this latest arrest could affect his probation. As part of a plea deal in the Rihanna case that allowed him to avoid jail time, Brown was sentenced to five years of probation and more than 1,400 hours of community labor.

The victim reportedly told TMZ that Brown broke his nose, which may require surgery and that the altercation took place after the man and a friend photobombed a picture Brown, 24, was taking with two female fans; the man was transported to a local hospital for treatment. Unnamed law enforcement sources told the site that after the victim and a male friend ...

The moment that "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" viewers have been waiting for all season is finally here: the birth of North West! On Sunday (October 27), more than four months after Kim Kardashian and Kanye West welcomed baby Nori on June 15, fans will finally get a firsthand look at the moments leading up to her birth when the latest episode airs tonight on E!.

How much will viewers actually see? The newly engaged couple have made several public appearances since the baby's arrival, including one at Paris Fashion Week, but for the most part, they've decided to keep their firstborn under wraps, sharing only two photos of their bundle of joy so far.

With so many questions surrounding the episode, MTV News has rounded up six things we hope to see on the show on Sunday night.

Kim's Getaway Car
Getting one of the most photographed women in the world to the hospital to deliver her baby undetected is not an easy task to undertake. But with hundreds of paparazzi swarming Kim's house in the weeks leading up to the birth, she was forced to devise a plan. On her show "Kris," momager Kris Jenner revealed that their strategy not only involved a getaway car but a lot of blankets.

"We head to the car — blankets, blankets, blankets, purse, purse, purse — we drive out, we got to the hospital, called the security, everybody lined up, into the secret garage," Kris said. "Down the secret alley, there's the wheelchair waiting, up the private elevator, down ...

hit theaters Friday, but the movie only tells half the story. As viewers will glimpse in the closing credits, what went on behind the scenes was just as much fun as the movie itself.

Earlier this week, MTV News' Josh Horowitz sat down with star Johnny Knoxville to talk about the challenges inherent in filming a prank movie.

"There's so much unknown, and you can't control," Knoxville said. "You just keep fishing and fishing until you get that one reaction. Not only am I excited — the whole crew — it's a different feeling."

Talking about the stand-out beauty pageant scene at the end of the movie in particular, "When we got that, the crew was just hugging, and happy," Knoxville said. "We went out and got loaded that night!"

Meanwhile, Knoxville's diminutive co-star Jackson Nicoll was feeling something different: nerves. The most nerve-wracking part? "Probably taking off my clothes and everybody saw my bra. It was up to here!" Nicoll said, gesturing to right above his waist. "It was nuts!"

Also pretty nuts was the strip club scene, which finds Knoxville's Zisman at an all-male revue showing off a little too much.

"I was so excited to get there. I knew we were going to get gold, and I knew there was a real chance of it going wrong," Knoxville explained. Over the course of the night spent talking to strip-club patrons, Knoxville had "a couple of drinks." And by the time the strippers actually went on, "I'm hammered ... and I'm no longer [grandpa] Irving Zisman! I'm a drunk Johnny Knoxville, and ...

French Montana sure has a thing for animals. Last year, the Bad Boy MC came up to "RapFix Live" wearing a hooded bearskin vest with the grizzly's face still intact. Then earlier this month, he dropped his video for where he struts for the camera while cradling two baby tigers.

"I love animals, man. I love animals," Montana told MTV News last week.

French has a few pets that he favors, but said the tigers are for the camera only. "My dream pet? I like a couple of them, man: monkey, I love dogs. See tigers, I don't know, I can't be playing with something like that," the Bad Boy rapper admitted. "A monkey, I can handle it. A dog, yeah; I would get a monkey."

The video shoot with the tigers caused a bit of controversey back in April after French posted a picture to Instagram holding the pair of animals in his arms. "Got so high last night bought 2 baby tigers," he wrote.

PETA looked into whether or not French actually owned the wild animals. The anti-fur organization eventually sent an email to MTV News confirming that Montana didn't have any tigers in his home. In May, however, French joked with us that he did keep the animals. "Nah, I have to lie to PETA 'cause they're gonna try to come to get the tigers back," he said.

But French isn't the only rapper to have a run-in with the exotic felines. Last year, his "Pop That" collaborator Drake told MTV News of his December 2011 ...
