Ellen DeGeneres vs. Holly Robinson Peete: Whose Nicki Minaj Halloween Costume Was Better?

By: Cinya Burton

Ellen DeGeneres, you've got some competition! More than 70 percent of you thought the talk show host's Halloween costume of Nicki Minaj looked better than actually the rapper herself. Now it seems there's another celeb tossing her, er, colorful blond wig into the ring.

On Thursday's The Wendy Williams Show, Holly Robinson Peete showed up dressed as the "Spaceships" singer. She opted for a platinum and pink wig, a lot of neon color eye shadow and a skintight leopard print body suit with extra padding in the butt to create the rapper's famous curves.

"I think she's like a hip hop Jessica Rabbit and she's so fun to dress up as!" the actress said. "But how does she sit in this booty though?"

Good question. Ellen, on the other hand accented a different set of curves in her costume. She had a top that flaunted an eyebrow-raising amount of underboob. Ironically, when the rapper first wore the look on Ellen's show she had a near nip slip.

We're still leaning towards Ellen on this one because it's so spot-on, but what do you say?

Ellen Degeneres vs. Nicki Minaj...as Nicki Minaj!

They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Well in that case, Ellen DeGeneres is obsessed with Nicki Minaj. 

The host stepped out for her Halloween special in the exact same outfit the "I Wanna Be With You" singer recently wore as a guest on her show—and we mean exact. Somehow Ellen managed to get it right down to the curvy body and slip of underboob. Whoever does her hair and make-up deserves an Emmy award!

But here's the hysterical thing about this TV gag—we actually think Ellen makes an amazing Nicki. The blonde locks and black roots suit her fair skin, the "boob job" somehow works on her slight frame, and we love her with a little extra junk in the trunk.

While we in no way endorse the massive plastic surgery, Ellen might consider dressing a bit more like Nicki's hype girl from time to time. Who knows, maybe Nicki will turn the tables and have Ellen on her show. Now that's a tour we'd pay good money to see.

For that reason alone we're giving Ellen our vote in this battle. What's your say?
