Still not sure what you’re going to be for Halloween this weekend? Fear not. TheBVX put together a list of 10 celebrity-themed costume ideas that’ll help you pay homage to your favorite celebrities and scare the living you-know-what out of your friends!
The Celebrity Costume: Bishop Eddie Long
What You’ll Need: A skin-tight red muscle shirt, a Star of David gold-plated necklace, a pair of dark jeans, a glue-on beard, a curly jet black hairpiece, an iPhone 3GS and the strength to do 3500 push-ups before you head out for the night.
What People Will Think: “Who is he supposed to be? A body builder? A bouncer? A wrestler? Some dude sending inappropriate cellphone pics to young men? Ummmwhoever he is, I sure hope he doesn’t doesn’t text me tonight!”
Obviously, you shouldn’t choose this costume if you plan on trick or treating near the New Birth Missionary Baptist Church. If you’re the type of guy who spends at least six days every week in the gym, know the difference between good and bad carbs, and can’t touch your own ears because of the size of your biceps, this is definitely the look for you!
The Celebrity Costume: Antoine Dodson
What You’ll Need: A red bandanna, a black A-shirt and a large wig
What People Will Think: “Welllllllllllllll, obviously, we have a guy who waited ’til the absolute last minute to come up with a Halloween costume!”
Let us guess: You’re the same guy who dressed up as one of the dudes from the “Leprachaun in Mobile, Alabama” video a few years ago. Hey, we can’t even hate. Internet meme it out!
The Celebrity Costume: Nicki Minaj
What You’ll Need: A pink wig, a basket full of makeup and six to eight strategically-placed pillows to replicate ample buttocks and bosom.
What People Will Think: “Why does that girl keep making funny faces at me? Is her stomach bothering her?”
You’re gonna catch a lot of hate rocking a costume like this. But, look at it this way: Maybe @nickiminaj will retweet your photo if you send it to her. Right after she stops laughing at you, of course…
The Celebrity Costume: 50 Cent and Soulja Boy
What You’ll Need: A white A-shirt, a pair of jeans, something to tie over your face and, most importantly, a shirtless, tattooed friend who you feel really, really, really comfortable standing next to all night.
What People Will Think: “Does that guy know he looks like a gay ninja?”
The great thing about the 50 Cent part of this costume? No one will even know it was you the next day. Unfortunately, we can’t say the same for your friend.
The Celebrity Costume: Lady Gaga
What You’ll Need: A lot of raw meat, strong thread, nose plugs and no desire to have sex for at least a week.
What People Will Think: “You went way too far, honey.”
People did Lady Gaga last year. So if you’re gonna go big, go BIG (II). Just be prepared to smell to high heaven when your meat dress, meat purse and meat hat begin to rot while you’re at your masquerade ball.
The Celebrity Costume: Yung Berg’s “Batman” chain
What You’ll Need: A complete Batman costume with a long black chain draped down your back
What People Will Think: “GENIUS!”
Extra props if you get one of your friends to dress up like Berg and chase you around the club all night long.
The Celebrity Costume: Chris “Birdman” Andersen
What You’ll Need: A Denver Nuggets uniform, two industrial-size tubs of hair gel (holla at your man going out as DJ Pauly D!) and approximately 3,894,103 temporary tattoos
What People Will Think: “Freeeeeeeeeeeeeee bird!”
For one night only, you can discover what it’s like to walk into a room and have everyone look at you like you’ve got five heads. Enjoy it.
The Celebrity Costume: will.i.am
What You’ll Need: A black leather jacket, black T-shirt, black leather pants, black face paint and a pink arm band
What People Will Think: “Why is that guy wearing a pink armband?”
And if you can find a store that sells that weird pink and black hat/helmet will.i.am was wearing during the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards, well, you’re a better man than I am.
The Celebrity Costume: Kat Stacks
What You’ll Need: Bangs, an annoying high-pitch voice, a phone book filled with rappers’ phone numbers, a bottle of liquor, and a temporary biohazard symbol tramp stamp on your lower back.
What People Will Think: “That girl is such a $*&%@*$&^ $&%!”
If nothing else, yelling “It’s Kat Stacks, bitch!” makes this costume well worth the ridicule you’ll get as a result of wearing it. *Kat Stacks laugh*
The Celebrity Costume: Brian Pumper
What You’ll Need: Brightly colored “hip-hop gear” and whatever cheap, gaudy rapper-style jewelry you can find at your local flea market.
What People Will Think: “Let me guess: Lloyd Banks?!?”
No, really: If by some chance you’re reading this, Banks, your Halloween costume this year is a no-brainer. (You’re welcome!) For the rest of you, go a little bit extra on the costume jewelry and folks should be able to recognize that you’re B. Pumper, not Banks. And if they don’t believe you, just pull out your….Ah, nevermind. Happy Halloween!
