Are you in the scantily-clad costume day Halloween spirit yet? If not, maybe Katie Holmes can help.

The actress will be on Monday's Halloween edition of "How I Met Your Mother" as the "slutty pumpkin" that Ted (Josh Radnor) has been hoping to reconnect with since episode six.

Finally, this hard to find love interest is unmasked, and we find out that her name is Naomi and that it apparently takes her a few drinks before she breaks out in her best tootsie roll.

Creator Craig Thomas told Vulture when he and Carter Bays announced the casting in September that Holmes "is a lovely and talented actress, which is why we've saved for her perhaps the most classily named character in our show's history."

Watch Holmes don the slutty pumpkin wear on the October 31 episode of "How I Met Your Mother," on CBS at 8 p.m. ET.

Chris Brown's acting career is moving right along: The 22-year-old star, also appearing in Steve Harvey's film "Think Like A Man," has been cast alongside "Lost" actor Josh Holloway in "Planet B-Boy," according to Entertainment Weekly.

Production is already underway for the film, which is based on the lauded documentary of the same name. "Jumping the Broom's" Laz Alonso, Josh Peck ("Drake & Josh") and Caity Lotz ("Mad Men") have also been cast.

The doc "Planet B-Boy" focused on the international breakdancing community, and the plot for the fictional release follows the same idea. It'll tell the story of an American group of b-boys who travel to France to compete in the Battle of the Year International Championships. We don't know the specifics on the roles Brown and Holloway will portray, but one can guess they'll have to bust a move at least once.

The director of the "B-Boy" documentary, Benson Lee, is also directing this adaptation.
