Raven Symone pulled out all the masked stops for her DIVAS Simply Singing event last week. Decide if we love her dramatic feathery look inside...
SoftSheen-Carson and actress/singer Sheryl Lee Ralph sponsored the 21st annual DIVAS Simply Singing concert last week, an annual benefit to raise awareness about HIV/AIDS.
Raven paired her long blush evening gow for the DIVAS Simply Singing event with a plumed feather mask and dramatically long braid. It wasn't a masquerade ball, but she indeed made a statement. The newly svelte actress also showed off her slim and trim new figure with the honeycomb-style waist on the dress.
So...

The field from 'Field of Dreams' has been sold. But fear not, baseball diehards: the patch of land in Iowa made famous in the 1989 film is going to big fans of the movie, who plan to keep the field Kevin Costner built untouched. The name of their company: Go the Distance Baseball L.L.C. Even though it's privately owned, the site has attracted 65,000 visitors a year without any promotion and has always been free to all comers. It's not clear if the free admission will continue as the new owners plan to build more baseball fields on the 193-acre farm.

Two-time Best Actress winner Hilary Swank received tons of bad press earlier this month when she appeared at the birthday party of Chechnya president Ramzan Kadyrov, an accused human rights violator and possible war criminal. Now, it appears someone on her team has taken a fall for the PR disaster. The Independent reports that Swank has fired her long-time manager Jason Weinberg, while Amie Yavor and Josh Lieberman -- two of Swank's CAA agents -- are allegedly close to being moved off her team.

How does this tiny terror rank among classic horror-movie murderers like Freddy Krueger and Jason Voorhees? Vote in our poll!

How do we love horror-movie villains? Let us count the ways via MTV's Killer Halloween, an in-depth competition in which we ask you, the best and brightest fans, to determine who is the best and scariest movie murderer.
Head over to our Movies Blog poll to rank the killers' weapons of choice!
So far, we've provided the vital stats of big, bad men Freddy Krueger, Jason Voorhees and Leatherface. Now, it's time to move on to a smaller, but equally vicious, killer: Chucky from "Child's Play."
Charles Lee "Chucky" Ray
Occupation: Serial killer, voodoo practitioner, plastic doll
Weapons: Whatever he has at his disposal, voodoo knife
Archenemy: Grownups, fire, people who won't let him take over their bodies
Profile: Chucky's story has all the fixings for horror-film flights of fancy. He, Charles Lee Ray, is a serial killer and voodoo practitioner who manages to transfer his soul into a "Good Guy" doll after he is fatally shot by a police detective. Chucky ends up in the hands of Andy Barclay, who very soon regrets the day his mother brought home the redheaded, freckled doll, as the pint-sized terror resumes his murderous ways.
As is custom for horror-movie antagonists, Chucky manages to survive all the attempts at ending his "life" — including being set on fire and shot — in order to terrorize more victims in "Child's Play 2," "Child's Play 3," "Bride of Chucky" and "Seed of Chucky."
Once again, we turn to horror movie expert Brian Collins, the dedicated man behind Horror Movie a Day, to explain Chucky's long-lasting appeal.
"Chucky is awesome because in addition to going after Andy or whoever in order to get a human body, he tends to kill a lot of jerks: mean teachers, sadistic Army barbers, even Britney Spears. So, there's a little more variety to his victims than the usual anonymous knife fodder in the "Friday the 13th" or "Nightmare on Elm Street" movies," he explained. "Plus, he swore a lot. Swearing toys are always funny."
Check out everything we've got on "Child's Play."

Deadline's reporting there's still hope for a Fraggle Rock film as New Regency has just acquired the movie rights. The project had been set up at The Weinstein Company with the studio going as far as to tap Cory Edwards (Hoodwinked) to write and direct. And then earlier this year Edwards posted an update on his website, stating it was totally stalled:

An irate Taco Bell customer did not take kindly to the fast food giant skimping on the meat in his chalupa on Sunday. His recourse? Firebombing the joint.
Georgia police are hunting for the aggrieved patron after he threw a Molotov cocktail at the restaurant’s drive-thru window after phoning in a complaint.
Guess the phone response he received was insufficient.
The bizarre incident occurred in Albany, Ga. Fortunately, the small blaze did not cause injuries or damage to the building, but it terrified the staff.
Manager Cynthia Thompson told cops that, shortly before the firebombing, a man called the restaurant to whine about the reported meat shortage.
The caller said that “after getting home realized that there was not enough stuffing inside of his chalupas, and demanded his order be corrected.”
When Thompson “could not accommodate him because the business was closing,” the man replied, “You must be one of them n---ers up there.”
He added, “That’s alright, I’ll just come and redecorate the place.”
This story? Not exactly uplifting for one's faith in humanity.

'Saw' serial killer 'basically a regular guy' the audience can respect, horror expert says. So, how does he rank among movie murderers?

This week's horror-movie-themed bloodletting continues with Day 4 of MTV's Killer Halloween, an in-depth competition in which we ask you, the best and brightest fans, to vote on who is the boldest, baddest and scariest movie murderer.
Which horror-movie baddie has the best personality? Make your pick in our MTV Movies Blog poll!
Freddy Krueger, Jason Voorhees, Leatherface, Chucky, Michael Myers and Ghostface all have received spotlight treatment, and now it's time to turn the focus toward a seriously scary mass-murderer: Jigsaw.
Jigsaw
Name: John "Jigsaw" Kramer, so nicknamed for his practice of cutting puzzle pieces out of the flesh of victims who didn't "pass" his deadly tests in the "Saw" movie franchise
Occupation: Civil engineer turned sadistic self-appointed judge of others' life choices
Weapons: Practical home-improvement items found at a local Home Depot or Lowe's, along with the aid of a few helping hands here and there
Archenemy: People who waste or don't appreciate their lives, laziness
Profile: Kramer is a former civil engineer who is dying from colon cancer. After an unsuccessful suicide attempt, he suddenly gains a new appreciation for life and sets out to make others appreciate what they have before it's too late. Unfortunately, and as is standard in all good horror flicks, his methods are a bit twisted. In an effort to test his victims' survival instincts, he crafts deadly and torturous traps that play upon his captives' character flaws. He doesn't really want his victims to die, but makes it nearly impossible for them to survive.
Horror-movie expert Ryan Turek, managing editor of ShockTillYouDrop.com, explains Jigsaw's brilliance: "Behind the flayed flesh and exposed guts his messy traps leave behind, Jigsaw does have a pretty solid message to pass along:
Live your life and live it right. It's up to the people he captures to survive the blades, gears and barbed wire of his contraptions," Turek told MTV News, adding that what separates Jigsaw from other horror-movie killers is the fact that he's basically a regular guy.
"That's something that the audience can invest in and be terrified of: that lurking behind this amiable face is something incredibly deranged. That somber, withering older guy in the corner? He's quietly eyeballing you and probably has a trap waiting for you somewhere. It also helps that he's smart," Turek continued. "This is a man with an education, and to a degree, you can respect him, which is a scary thought. Jigsaw's vicious tests get the audience engaged in a discussion about right and wrong. He forces people to better themselves. I'm waiting for the day 'The Jigsaw Challenge' reality show hits television. We're not that far off, are we?"

Tony Romo's Dallas Cowboys are off to a 3-3 start, but there's nothing mediocre about this news: The quarterback's wife, Candice Crawford, is pregnant!
The 31-year-old NFL star dropped the bomb himself this morning.
"I actually have one on the way," Romo said during an anti-drug rally at Cedar Hill High School on Tuesday, according to NBC. "My wife is pregnant."
Tony Romo broke the news himself: Candice Crawford is pregnant!
Romo began dating the 24-year-old in the summer of 2009. A former Miss Missouri USA, she's worked as a Dallas sports, news and fashion reporter.
Candice is also the younger sister of Gossip Girl star Chace Crawford.
Engaged since December, Tony married Candice Crawford this May before a crowd of 600 guests in Dallas. Now they're starting a family. Congrats!
Romo's previous loves include Carrie Underwood, Sophia Bush and, most famously, someone else who's been the subject of baby rumors of late.
While we're still waiting for confirmation that Jessica Simpson is pregnant, her former boyfriend had no reservations about breaking the exciting news.

Nicki Minaj was involved in another incident that required police assistance yesterday.
As first reported by TMZ, the singer fired a maid a few weeks ago because the employee fished a photo of Minaj out of the trash and asked her boss to sign it. Fast forward to yesterday afternoon.
Nicki allegedly grew enraged because she saw this maid around her property and screamed at her to "get the f-ck out of my house!" But there was a problem: Neighbors confirm Minaj made a mistake and this was a different maid!
Still, under a case of mistaken identity, Nicki's boyfriend approached the woman and actually shoved her.
Police were called to the scene, a battery complaint was filed, but no one was taken into custody. In July, cops also intervened in an incident involving Minaj, as she got into it with a man outside a Dallas hotel.

The late Michael Jackson likely helped himself to extra doses of potent drugs while Dr. Conrad Murray's back was turned and accidentally took his own life.
That's according to the defense's final witness, who finally came out and said, under oath, the theory that Murray's defense has been floating for months.
Murray's lawyers long have asserted that Jackson caused his own death, even as the likelihood of such an event has been discredited by the prosecution.
Still, White told the jury, in Jackson's last minutes of consciousness, the insomniac took several pills of the sedative lorezepan, then injected the Propofol.
"You think it was a self-injection of propofol between 11:30 and 12?'' defense attorney J. Michael Flanagan asked. "In my opinion, yes," White responded.
White, like the prosecution's star witness, Dr. Steven Shafer, is an anesthesiologist and Propofol expert. The prosecution will cross-examine him next week.
After that, it's up to the jury to determine if there is reasonable doubt to acquit Murray of involuntary manslaughter, or if the prosecution made its case.
It goes without saying that Jackson's family feels they have.
Family members have attended trial every day, wasting little time praising the D.A. - or in this case, denying Michael was responsible for his own death.
His sister La Toya Jackson Tweeted, after a particularly tense Friday in courty: "MICHAEL DID NOT KILL HIMSELF!!! HE WOULD NEVER DO THAT!!!!"
The implication isn't that he tried to, but point taken.
There's also the question of whether that would absolve Murray of guilt even if it did occur. The state contends it would not, and that he's guilty anyway.
Prosecution witnesses say Murray not only gave too much Propofol, he also failed to properly monitor MJ, botched CPR and waited too long to call 911.
That, along with inconsistencies in Murray's own timeline of events, plus startling images like the Michael Jackson autopsy photo, could be his undoing.
He faces up to four years in prison if convicted.

'I've seen some of [Mitch Hurwitz's] script,' Brian Grazer says of long-awaited adaptation of Fox series.

Brian Grazer is attached to two of Hollywood's most sought-after projects with director Ron Howard: the new TV episodes and film for "Arrested Development" and the adaption of Stephen King's "The Dark Tower" series. Both have been in the pipelines for years but are now finally close to heading into production. MTV News asked about the films when he sat down with the producer to talk about his upcoming film "Tower Heist."
After about five years of speculation, the team behind the cult hit series "Arrested Development" announced plans to produce a short season of new episodes followed by a feature film. Grazer confirmed the plan, saying, "We're going to do 10 episodes and the movie." He also mentioned that he had seen some of the script by series creator Mitch Hurwitz but denied rumors that the plot would follow Ron Howard as he tries to make a movie based on the series' characters the Bluths.
Grazer also took time to comment on the state of the much-discussed "Dark Tower" adaptation, which was slated for a multiplatform treatment covering film and television but ran into trouble with its large budget.
"When people say no to you enough, you have to lose money, which we've done without harming the scope of the film," Grazer explained.
News recently hit the Web that the production had cut $45 million from the budget, and Grazer confirmed that figure, saying that the plan for both the TV and film versions still stands.
"We'll do the TV [version] with HBO," Grazer said, adding that the film versions have not yet found a studio home. But Grazer assured fans, saying, "We'll do it right."

Singer, 'Lost' actor team up for Benson Lee film based on documentary.

Chris Brown is beefing up his acting résumé with a lead in the new flick "Planet B-Boy," alongside "Lost" actor Josh Holloway. The Benson Lee-directed film is based on Lee's award-winning 2007 documentary of the same name, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
Production for the film kicks off this week in L.A. According to a description from studio Screen Gems, it "is about an all-star American b-boy crew training to compete in France at the Battle of the Year (BOTY) International Championships. After a decade of defeat, the crew and their coach must go up against the best and greatest b-boys in the world: the Koreans, the Russians and the French who have dominated the original American dance form for the last 10 years."
The film also stars Laz Alonso, Josh Peck and Caity Lotz. Production will eventually move to Montpellier, France.
"B-Boy" is the latest project on Brown's acting résumé, which already includes "The O.C.," "The Christmas," "Stomp the Yard" and "Takers." He's also slated to star in "Think Like a Man," based on the Steve Harvey book.
"When acting, I feel like it's cool to use your strengths, but it's also cool to use your other abilities as well," Brown told MTV News in 2010 about a Hollywood career. "I didn't just wanna do movies that had consistent dancing and singing: I wanted to do stuff that pushes me as an actor at the end of the day. Because you have people like T.I. and Common that do stuff that's not around what they do in the entertainment industry as far as music, and they succeeded.
"So I just wanna branch over to that, especially like Will Smith," he continued. "He comes from rapping and going right into the acting thing, so I wanna come from the singing parts and go into acting, and people can tell the difference. I think that with this role [in 'Takers'], it was more intense, more action, more stuff that I love to do, what I love to see in movies."

Lecter's gentlemanly quality and intellect make him stand out over other horror movie murderers.

Dr. Hannibal Lecter in "Silence of the Lambs"

It's time for yet another in-depth profile in our creepy crypt of horror movie killers for MTV's Killer Halloween, a competition in which we ask you, the best and brightest fans, to vote for the best and scariest movie murderer ever.
We've already provided a handy guide to the gory details surrounding Freddy Krueger, Jason, Leatherface, Michael Myers, Chucky, Ghostface and Jigsaw. Now it's time to take a look at the man the American Film Institute named the number-one villain of the last 100 years.
Name: Dr. Hannibal Lecter
Occupation: Psychiatrist, cannibal, serial killer
Weapons: Teeth, intellect, items purchased from the Williams-Sonoma catalog
Archenemy: People who annoy him, the FBI, bad taste
Profile: Smart, serene and sinister, Hannibal Lecter is easily the most gentlemanly of the killers we've included in our survey. Created by author Thomas Harris in a series of horror novels first published in 1981, and later immortalized by Anthony Hopkins' Oscar-winning portrayal in "The Silence of the Lambs," Lecter has won millions of fans for his creep factor and cunning ways. Not to mention his way with words:
"A census taker once tried to test me. I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice chianti." — Anthony Hopkins as Hannibal Lecter in "The Silence of the Lambs"
Horror movie expert Ryan Turek, Managing Editor of ShockTillYouDrop.com, told MTV News that Lecter's main appeal is his cool exterior.
"Hannibal is the gentleman's bogeyman. A class act in a pool of ragged, obvious-looking killers," Turek said. "He's unassuming in physicality but absolutely lethal. He'll outsmart you at every turn and serve you up for dinner. His terror factor lies in the fact that lurking behind his amiable face is something incredibly deranged. That pleasant British fellow? Oh, yeah, he wants to split your skull open and fry your brains on an open skillet."
Turek added that Lecter also has a certain finesse with regard to what types of individuals are to become his victims.
"Hannibal eats the jerks or those who at least catch on to who he is. I can't imagine him suppressing his cannibalistic side in a theater of people text-messaging during a movie."
Check out everything we've got on "The Silence of the Lambs."
