Katie Holmes: Slutty Pumpkin On 'How I Met Your Mother' (PHOTOS)

Back in his early mother-searching days, Ted Mosby fell for a gorgeous girl dressed as a pumpkin (to be fair, it was Halloween). Things went awry and he was unable to keep in touch with her, so every year he'd go to the same costume party, in the same costume, hoping she'd show up. No dice, of course.

Fans of "How I Met Your Mother" loved the story, but one major question remained: who was this so-called Slutty Pumpkin? What did she looks like, and what was her allure? It's been a mystery for years, but finally, it shall be answered.

As previously announced, Katie Holmes will guest star on the show in that alluring decorative squash role, finally putting a face to the jack-o-lantern. Now, CBS has released the first photos of the star, and we have to say, standing next to Ted in his hanging chad costume (inspired, of course, by the 2000 election), we have to say that we can see the magic between them. Ahh, haunted memories.

The episode airs October 24th.

Another script krafted to get NPH's shirt off. Val Kilmer said that was the goal of "Top Gun" was to get all those buff young men mostly naked in the barracks.

That name is a direct rip-off of Kenny Shopsin's pumpkin slutty cakes, one of the best breakfasts ever conceived by man. To use it in reference to Mrs. Cruise, well, it just ain't fittin'.

umm, don't you have to have curves to be able to pull off 'slutty pumpkin'? maybe she could be a 'slutty zucchini'?

Oh look, Tom Cruise let his Stepford wife out of the house for a while. How nice of him.

I think they are the creepiest couple in Hollywood. Although if I gave it some thought I could could come up with a few creepier.

I am at a loss for words for the absolute irrelevance of her.

I only wish L-Ron had recorded the faces of the people after they paid all that money to get to the truth about the Space Opera. The videos would be priceless.

He gets style points for making them dress up in yachtie uniforms, too.

I'm s tired of people ragging on this religion. Without ragging on them all. The same things said about scientology can be said about all organized religion. One is no better than the other. At least be consistent.

Is there a character named Peter on this show? If he is hungry he may want to eat.

Katie Holmes acts? I thought she only married a-list celebrities to stay relevant and rich.

when did *slutty* become an acceptable word in a headline? even in a tabloid? (rolls eyes).

It's what the character was called on the show. I assume that doesn't make the use of the word any more valid from your point of view, but it extends beyond The Huffington Post.
