Taylor Swift Wins Halloween, Our Hearts Forever

Taylor Swift sent an indirect message to LeBron James on Saturday night: Not so fast, buddy! Just as the editors of The Hollywood Gossip were set to crown James as the winner of Halloween 2015, Swift stepped to the microphone in Tampa, Florida. And while we've seen plenty of the superstar surprising concert attendees with special guests , we've never seen anything like this before. Because it features Idina Menzel, dressed as Elsa and belting out the smash hit song “Let It Go” from Frozen? Not quiet, although the following video does feature Idina Menzel dressed as Elsa. But it also features Swift joining Menzel on the track… while dressed as Olaf! (For the three people out there who have not seen Frozen, Olaf is the hilarious snowman sidekick in the film.) About halfway through the performance, Menzel and Swift shed their costumes and went straight on sexy instead of goofy, with Swift wearing her beloved silver sparkly mini dress and Menzel rocking a black bustier with black leggings and heels. “Frozen totally happened tonight,” Swift captioned one picture with Menzel on Instagram. “And 55,000 people sang 'Let it Go' so loudly, it nearly took my breath away. Good times, @idinamenzel.” Menzel chimed in herself via social media, remarking on how this experience was slightly different than her typical routines on Broadway. “Thank you @taylorswift! That was definitely an out of body experience. Or out of Elsa's body experience! #1989tourtampa.” Amazing stuff. Watch now:

Bill Cosby Releases Statement: I’m Far From Finished!

The Bill Cosby sex scandal may soon land the comedian in court, as sources say model Chloe Goins plans to press charges for an assault that allegedly took place at the Playboy Mansion in 2008. Sources say Cosby is running scared and asking Hugh Hefner for dirt on Goins . But if the TV legend is worried about going to prison, he’s certainly hiding it well. The embattled comedian issued a statement yesterday assuring fans that his current stand-up tour will go on despite widespread protests. “I have thousands of loyal, patient and courageous fans who are going to leave their homes to enjoy an evening of laughter and return home feeling wonderful.” He concluded the statement with a references to his long-running ’70s cartoon Fat Albert and his 2013 Comedy central special, writing, “Hey, hey, hey – I’m far from finished.” The statement has outraged many, as the 77-year-old Cosby yet again appears to be portraying himself as the victim of a vast conspiracy. At this point, more than two dozen women have come forward with claims that they’ve been sexually assaulted by Cosby. At first, the comedian remained silent on the issue, but he may soon be forced to defend himself, as Goins’ allegations may lead to a trial. Most of the accusers say they were assaulted several decades ago, which means that Cosby is protected by statutes of limitations. Goins claims Cosby drugged her and licked her toes six years ago, a claim his camp will fight tooth and nail, but which could give Chloe legal standing. If the prosecutor in the case decides to pursue rape charges against Cosby, his alleged crime would be recent enough that he could face prison time.  Stay tuned … Bill Cosby Memes Gone Horribly Awry 1. Stare at the Sweater Thanks a lot, Internet users. Now we’ll never be able to watch The Cosby Show the same way ever again!

Adele Dazeem, er, Idina Menzel, and John Legend will reportedly perform the National Anthem and “America the Beautiful, respectively” at this year’s Super Bowl.
