It's nowhere near October, but one ensemble is already on track to be named the most controversial Halloween costume of 2015.

Social media users were out in full force on Monday criticizing several Halloween retailers for offering a Caitlyn Jenner costume reminiscent of the former-athlete's Vanity Fair cover earlier this year.

While Jenner's supporters condemned the costume as "transphobic" and "disgusting" on Twitter, Spirit Halloween, a retailer that carries the costume, defended the getup.

"At Spirit Halloween, we create a wide range of costumes that are often based upon celebrities, public figures, heroes and superheroes," said Lisa Barr, senior director of marking at Spirit Halloween. "We feel that Caitlyn Jenner is all of the above and that she should be celebrated. The Caitlyn Jenner costume reflects just that."

Mariah Carey's Manager Lashes Out at 'Rockin' Eve' Producers

Menopause Trolls Mariah Carey, and the bitch takes the bate.

Mariah Carey's manager lashed out at Dick Clark Productions, the company behind the New Year's Rockin' Eve special, following the singer's disastrous Times Square performance.

Millions of viewers and thousands more congregated in New York City witnessed Carey's technical difficulties-marred performance, which featured the singer proceeding with the choreographed dance moves while making little effort to actually sing the music, often just speaking directly to the crowd about the sound issues.

I won't lie, through the marvels of plastic surgery Mariah is still a beautiful woman, but, thanks to the ravages of age, her voice is not what it used to be. It's a very lol-worthy move of Mariah Carey's team to blame someone else for Mariah's inability to sing even with the assistance of technology.

thanks to the ravages of age, her voice is not what it used to be. It's a very lol-worthy move of Mariah Carey's team to blame someone else for Mariah's inability to sing even with the assistance of technology.

This has little to do with age and more to do with the kind of voice abuse that screechers like Carey, Aguilera and Adele subject themselves to.

And Carey's agency seems to have blocked the video out of shame; short snippets that are still up show that Carey was (badly) lip-synching.

I'm assuming fake. And there's easier ways of showing you are ashamed of being white.

Investigators are looking into a Facebook Live video showing a group of people holding a young man hostage.

Chicago police told FOX 32 that four people are currently in custody.

Chicago police were made aware of this video Tuesday afternoon. A young African American woman streamed the video live on Facebook showing at least four people holding a young white man hostage.

The victim is repeatedly kicked and hit, his scalp is cut, all while he is tied up with his mouth taped shut. The suspects on the video can be heard yelling, "F*** Donald Trump! F*** white people!"

Community activist Andrew Holmes was made aware of the disturbing video.

FOX 32 was told the young man is now at a hospital being treated for his injuries.

No charges have yet been filed.

Huh. In that case, they have about a 25% of being charged with a hate crime.
