Nothing says festive holiday attire like a studded, plunging, spandex catsuit. When Nicki Minaj stepped out to host a Christmas Extravaganza event at Webster Hall in New York City on Dec. 25, her getup was definitely more naughty than nice. (Hey, at least the red-trimmed shoulder panels and cheerfully hued sunglasses added a seasonally appropriate touch.) Fans of the “Starships” singer will be happy to know that the Season 12 premiere of “American Idol,” which sees Minaj joining fellow diva Mariah Carey at the judges’ table, is now just three weeks away.

Check please? With “American Idol” on deck, big endorsement deals with Pepsi popping, album-selling ability and earning the title of one of the most respected and envied women in the rap biz, Nicki has the world in her palms.[sohh.com]
